Give it time....
I am so sad MM isn't here to read this slander.
Yeah, one problem. Slander's spoken. In print, it's libel. Sides, how do you know he doesn't drink? ???
You interrupted MM's Mojo today Clang. Everyone at the table owes you a debt of gratitude. ;)
This thread is underachieving. Chop chop folks!
Beer is one of things more fun to make than drink.
Hopefully Mopar's got some harder stuff laying around. I'd ask, but my grandpa always said, "Never trust a naked man holding pastries."
He always is having captains and diets coke. I personally am going to raid the Mexican coke stash...:)
I'd come visit for memorial day weekend if I could afford to get there.... :D
Beware the dogs. They smite intruders.
Just bribe them with dog treats, and whatever meat that can be found in the fridge....... [rockon]
Mmmmm. Misappropriation of funds. [drool]
Dude this is the biggest suck ever.
My MIL has dimmensia and she blew through over $100k in 2 years. Trying to figure out where all the cash went. :(
I'd shudder to think what a clang flavored beverage would taste like....
I haven't been drunk in a long time.
Neither have I, it's been at least 12 hours
Your blood alcohol levels are dangerously low! I prescribe rum and coke stat!
Nope. Nothing at all. Pay no attention to the drunk guy in the skirt sorta dancing in the background....
I was rocking out
Yes and it made my eyes peel...
I've done it water skiing :(And Achoo never walked the same way again.
I've done it water skiing :(
I haven't water skied for years and years. Every since I swallowed half of The Lake of the Ozarks.
(I forgot to let go when I fell off the skis.) :D
Letting go of the rope is important
I haven't water skied for years and years. Every since I swallowed half of The Lake of the Ozarks.
(I forgot to let go when I fell off the skis.) :D
Saw that happen once to a woman skier. It was funny to watch, and in the aftermath she was kinda hurt, bruised, and refused to get back onto the boat until somebody gave her a towel. There is a reason that it is a bad idea to go water skiing in a bikini.... [drool]
Very true. Always water ski naked it's just better that way.
Yep. Saves the wwwwwwwwholy Crap moment. Better than any bidet!
Had to put down my cat Tuesday night :'(
Sorry to hear about that...
Can you repair my van next? ;)
You are truly The Man. [notworthy]
You're bringing gloves and plastic tongs right? [whipit]

You think I'm rich?
yes
Well how are you defining rich?
Well how are you defining rich?A garage full of nice vehicles, a liquor cabinet flowing with spirits.... a man servant named clang.... :D
You have money, right? :)
A garage full of nice vehicles, a liquor cabinet flowing with spirits.... a man servant named clang.... :D
Yes I have some money.
I have a mortgage that could choke a horse too.
Good, loan me some. :)
Well, if you'd just chop the thing into little bitty pieces, your horse wouldn't have that problem, now would it? :)
Never lend friends money
Never lend friends money
Good, then just give me the bread and I'll be out of your hair. :)
Friends don't do that either :)
And? What does that have to do with us?
Since I consider you guys my friends it means I'm not giving you any money - you can come over and drink my booze however
Makes me wish I weren't driving. [cheers]
Man, I wish I could visit Cali again. Maybe when my cash flow issues settle down.... :-\
Well later this year I'll need to put on a Moparpoolooza - you can come out for that :)see above for why I probably can't make it. :-\
see above for why I probably can't make it. :-\
Let's see....driving to California......1900 miles, more or less........more than a solid day of driving, if my POS does not break down......maybe I can ship myself by UPS.You could go Greyhound
Amtrak. It's like Greyhound with space.
Your Amtrak ride wouldn't be that bad*MY* Amtrak ride would be wonderful, actually. I've done it twice, and I don't mind doing it again. Greyhound wouldn't be bad if they removed 20% of the seats and enforced a noise limit.
I'd actually not mind visiting by Amtrak if it didn't take almost two days to ride. #PIt's the reason I can't go to GenCon, I'd have to spend nine days away. :(
It's the reason I can't go to GenCon, I'd have to spend nine days away. :(
I. Will. Not. Fly.
Well finished up our second round of KublaCon and we still didn't finish :-[
Fun game though. I fricking LOVE artillery.
What's wrong with flying?
This game was spillover from Kublacon neh? I agree it was somewhat larger and more epic in scope than I prefer for a single game session, but it was a con came. Wasn't that the point?
The final forces seemed roughly equal, but since you didn't get your reinforcements until turn 5 you were hosed. The game never was a fair fight. One little fun fact I discovered this morning; your Long Toms were hocking HE rounds. HE rounds do 25/15/5 damage....
I can't speak for Doug, but as for myself, well:
1) Scared of heights. Seriously, I have panic attacks.
2) Scared of flying. Tied to the above somehow. Last time I got into an airplane, I was legally intoxicated when I stepped off. It was either get slobbering drunk, or scream and whine for the whole trip.
Those two reasons alone are why I won't fly anymore unless I'm forced to.
[flies in does a perfect five point landing; gets up off his head; looks around with a confused look on his face]
Somebody said there were hot, willing ladies here. Don't tell me I got lied to again!

You heard right! Our next game features initiative babes. ;)
That's messed up. :(
Flying is fun. Safer than driving your car
Todd and Frank can barely function as it is - Init Babes aren't going to help
That's messed up. :(
Flying is fun. Safer than driving your car
It's the preliminary crap I refuse to take part in, and that's all I'll say about that.
Are you talking about the Spanish Inquisition that is the TSA?
You better, if you intend to go flying. And if they decide to search you, well, just remember how Spaniards of the Inquisition conduct searches.
Looking for anything in particular this year?
Well tomorrow I'm off to the Capital City Mopar ShowPick me up a 4-door slant-six AT Dart while you're there! White, preferably.
whats the difference? I could see the Hemi being a tougher box, but the 70 and 71 440 should be the same. Or are yoou looking for certain cast years to make "matching numbers" cars?
Holy Thread Necromancy Batman!
Yea some JOKER poster to this dead thread. Can you believe that?
I blame bad writieng
I never liked Optimus Prime. He's too willing to sacrifice himself. A martyr in waiting.
I never got the whole Transformer thing
To each his own.Remember Clarke. Your Standing Hampton is not a transformer. ;D
Life would be so much cooler if Transformers were real.
*imagines a lab full of transforming equipment.
On second thought....
I thought it was fun. Explosions and hot girls are always a good combo.
Suckage. Electric?
Crap. Your shop is bigger than my house. :(
Never had an NES. We were a Sega family.We had both.... actually had NES, then genesis, then SNES....then well, PC gaming up until Xbox where I returned to consoles. :D
Sega was great, until Dreamcast anyway. Still makers of some of the best games ever.
Did you get the wheel?
Oh, I dunno, the Dreamcast was pretty good. Well, OK, so my CD player on it went out, but that was probably more my fault. Still, though, fun times.
Not yet. Had some other major expenses :-\
I may end up in Mopar's house range in the next 6 months... and I will have to TOUR that shop [rockon]
Damn you spent that much on hookers? :o
My '01 1500 (318, 5spd) was totaled by a hit and run 2 weekends ago, tonight I'm gonna look at a '97 dakota with a 3.9 v6... guy's asking $2500USD obo, if I can't find anything too bad on it, is an even 2K reasonable?
Am I the only one in this thread not driving American?
They all got too big. I can't stand "small" trucks anymore.
I cand stand this trend towards quad cabs with short boxes. It's like an SUV that your groceries are going to freeze or get rained on.
And is a beast to park at Walmart too eh? We've got a '90 extended cab Cummins with the 5 speed. Great truck, but man I hate trying to park it in town.
My best friend has a Mega-cab with the long box. It's still not quite as bad as driving my dumptruck to school was, but it ain't a picnic.
Dakota was a dog. 190K and beat to hell, and was obviously missing. (Well, sounded the way a 318 2brl does when it misses, on this new crap I have no idea what sounds right and doesn't)
Those trucks are just too long :D
Damage - you still rolling in the Yarris ?
38 ain't too bad. I rented a Yarris to get me to the airport the other day. Wasn't too bad. O0
You got off the no fly list?
Dude. When I stop traveling for Apple I got a panicked call from American asking me if things were all right. ;D
Now that is priceless.
How about a gallon of Axe?
What's wrong with Axe? If it weren't good cologne they wouldn't sell it by the gallon.
and you have to peel babes off your house every morning? That must get annoying.
saves wear and tear on the trimming
Is your furry hat put away for the year or do you also wear it on "special" occasions?
A pith helmet? Snord's Snood. ;D
2001 ram 1500, 318, if you were going to do a transmission, go back with the factory auto, or something else, and why
Peanuts have feelings too. :(
Nope. This one.
You mean like Charlie Brown?
I don't even remember posting about peanuts. I guess that's what drinking does for you.
My son bathes in it
You mean like Charlie Brown?
Hey, I know that guy. We where in fitness together. I haven't heard from that guy in years. :) How's he doing? I forget what his job was suppose to be. :)
You were Pigpen? :o ::)
No.
You were Pigpen? :o ::)I think he is/was Peppermint Patty.
Are you sure?
I think he is/was Peppermint Patty.
Yeah, you know, the curly headed guy from the Turtles? What? Pigpen played for the Dead.
40. Grew up on old music. Turtles got me through a rough time. Oh, don't get me wrong, I listen to all sorts of stuff, from the 50's to the 90's. But the Turtles I have a soft spot for. Oh, apparently Mark's recovering from throat cancer. Last I heard, he's doing nicely.
The only Turtles I thought you were into were the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Actually, I liked those guys, too. :)

Young pup. I am gong to be 60 this year. :(
WooHoo!!!!!!! someone's older than me!
Uh, I'm sorry.
teehee. snicker.
Older...and meaner. >:/!
Young pup. I am gong to be 60 this year. :(
Not you, you little whipper snapper. Go play in the sandbox or something. }:)
The cat buried him
Well, it's not quite that simple. They have to make them "love" each other first so they can then teach them to use those crooked daggers.
Don't mention "Society" around the clanners. "The Society" was the cabal of scientists that caused all of the trouble in the Clan worlds during the Jihad. You know, the thing the Clanners don't like talking about.
Hey! If you screw up and wash your red shirts with your white tighty whiteys you end up with pink undies! It's an honest mistake!
I think I've seen this movie beforeWe get a few in every thread......
sorry; must've been the chili I ate. I'll try not to make it smell like roses anymore.
You had chili and didn't share it with me?!?! :O >:( You owe me dinner. >:(
Wienerschnitzel Chili Cheese Dogs [drool]
Never had them, sadly. :(
Because you live in a Weinerschnitzel wasteland :'(
So sad
Nearest one's in Austin, but I don't know that I want to make the extra effort to go to it, though it is accessible.
Hit one the next time you are in CA!
Might be closer than you think, linky added.

Nope, that's the closest one. Trust me. The one in Temple closed down over a decade ago, I live nowhere close to San Marcos, San Antonio, College Station, or any of the other places.
Are you near White Settlement? When I saw that in Texas I knew the place was doomed ;D
I've...never been to Cali. :o Don't think I'll be going anytime soon. :(
Hell no! I'm miles away from that place.
(No, really, close to Austin.)
I haven't made it to Austin yet but that is supposed to be the nice part.
At least I hope so.
Even I have stopped posting in pink that bright.
Wait for Mopar to see your new avatar Achoo...
I think it is better than Neko in a Dress!
Speaking of Neko... haven't seen hide nor hair of the username lately. Hope Godzilla hasn't stomped on him / her.
TT
How was / is China Mopar?
TT
so I was in the local Dodge dealership for warranty service on the wife's Caravan...
when I saw something I might just sell the minivan, the RAM, and the wife to get it...

The network here in China can be best described as America On Line on a 300 Baud modem over a bad phone line.
It's painful.
Wow, and I thought sending packet over 2 meters was slow! :o
That's one of the things you can do at the beach
Especially if you're buried up to your neck in sand. :)
Isn't it considered a mammal?
took the Feline Overlords to their vet today.
I'm told the scratches will heal in a few weeks.
I've been in two major accidents and managed to walk away from both with minimal injuries.
Sorry Mopar, Clangs my new hero now!
TT
It's OK, he's my brother from another mother. We are little the movie "Twins", he's the smaller one ;D
If we lived closer I would have him turning wrenches and he would have me playing every game known to man.
I WONDER IF MY overlords will let me work out of the Seattle office? ;D
There are so many tech company people that come thru my work it's not even funny. Especially a lot of people from Amazon.com.Are you in Bellevue, Washington? I had take a business trip there for week. Most of the tech companies who were in Redmond (like Microsoft) moved out to Bellevue.
Microsoft is another big one.
Are you in Bellevue, Washington?
I'm about 15 minutes away in Seattle.
Smells like a Pantless Tabletop pick me up game!
Winner gets the pants!

EWWWWW!!!! :o You don't want Clang's pants. Those things haven't been washed since 1997. :oHow do you know this, Mr.Clarke?? :-X
How do you know this, Mr.Clarke?? :-X
He has Clang send him a sent swab of his pants so he can smell them
I think I need a lawyer before I answer any questions. O:-)
That's not all you need.... :D
I had my CPU replaced last century.
So you use a dail up modem with AOL?

We ain't Classic anything. That was when MWDA was around and was used tell people "classic" was the original.
There only now the one any only, Battletech! O0
Nice - It's like 1986 all over again :D
Hey I kinda liked playing BT when it was all post apocalyptic dark age water wars.
You watched "Waterworld" one too many times
Do post your force MM, I'm curious on how you roll in style!
TT
*sigh* Wish I could play Battletech on the weekends. :-\
Stupid Wal*Mart :'(
I'm lucky that most of the players have m-f 9-5 type jobs.
But other players don't:
One guy is a baggage handler for United.
Another a machine shop estimator
Another a grocery clerk
Another a fish merchant
These guys have a hard time getting the weekend off
The reason the Clang-a-Wife forced me to move jobs from the Port of Tacoma to Beacon Hill Seattle was so I had weekends and holidays off.
When i was there, i found the traffic insane. I live in New England and i'm used to that, but Seattle area far worse I've ever seen. I'm glad they're still expanding their Lightrail service and commuter rail but i'm not sure how effective it is.
Yes but there are people fighting it tooth ans nail with no good reason to do so that I can perceive.
Having been the victim of Eminent Domain I can tell you there is a reasonI hope they arrest, Eminent Domain. He sounds like real crook.

Okay that is a reason I hadn't considered. When the county came by here and asked for an easement down the side of my place I said no and haven't heard anything further about it and that was years ago.
??? You were given a choice? :-\
In some cases you are given a choice and some people are stupid enough to say yes.
If they really need it they will go through the steps to get it including condemning you property.
My battle lasted 6 years.
6 years! Sounds annoying. Glad they didn't try that with myself and my neighbor. IIRC, they wanted to put in a dirt road to access some kind of water pumping station in the greenbelt behind my place. I never understood why because there was already access to it on the other side of the greenbelt. It just takes longer to drive around.
So you had a case of nice to had. Mine was had to have.
If you own any large amount of property eventually the Government will come and take it from you
Not true, land is being made just millimeters a day!
TT
Buy land. They're not making any more of it. ;) :)
buy property central to all US BT fans....
Smith County, Kansas.
I prefer a trial of possession involving a drinking contest.
I will probably loose, but it will be fun!
Trust me. You're going to lose.
I have a lot of practice ;D
I can verify this. MM litterally has a swimming pool to store all his booze. It need to be refilled every other day.Is it like a jacuzzi hot tub, but chilled?
Poured out your bar......... :'(It was sand bar.
Poured out your bar......... :'(
Yep.
Now I just need for free time to work on my cars
The.....alcohol.......just.........poured........WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! #P
So your gonna see Cars 3 then?

I has a sad, no such place here!

Sorry. :-\
Nothing near me that as cool B17s. There a Battleship, Destroyers, Submarines, even the last US Heavy Cruiser in the world near by. But no B-17s.
We have all kinds of cool planes on the West Coast:
Spruce Goose
When did I become a national landmark? And, yes there are some kewl air museums around here. I drive by one every day on the way to work.We won't have Clangaluna if it weren't for you, thus your International (Planetary?) Landmark.
