it's morning Hamsters..............time to rise and shine............
in recognition of January 19 being National Popcorn Day here are some fun facts.................
Perhaps the most versatile of all snack foods, popcorn has been an American staple for decades.
Despite being most commonly associated with cinemas and sporting events, over 70 percent of popcorn is consumed at home, and the United States leads the world in both production and consumption.
Did you know? Popcorn comes in two distinct shapes: the mushroom and snowflake? Kind of like the baser version and GS'er version?
352,028,160: The minimum number of popped kernels needed to make a popcorn trail from New York City to Los Angeles.
Orville Redenbacher, perhaps the most famous popcorn popper of all time, began growing his own popcorn in 1944.
Americans consume 16 billion quarts of popcorn annually.
Long-lasting: According to Groupon, exploration of ancient Peruvian tombs turned up kernels that are still poppable, proving that popcorn can last for millennia.
Popcorn comes in many flavors, from classic butter and kettle-cooked to gourmet flavors including caramel and chocolate.
to show the base camp generosity, we will offer all the popcorn the GS'ers want today for less than the $6.00 a box they get at theaters............
only because we still will have somewhere between 900 - 1200% profits to restock the hovel selling it to you similar to the profits made at theaters on each box..................
Just thought I would check in and see what my fellow Hammy's GS colleagues would suggest I do to get rid of my Vette withdrawls. It's been sitting in the garage on a battery tender for 3 weeks because the weather has been shitty - constant snow/rain/ice storm. It's reaching the critical stage!

here in Michigan, mine has been parked since November..........
still get out in the garage and have done a few things I wanted to do to it, when the temps. allow..................
best thing is to have a couple of Corvettes, and living quarters.............
one in home location, and the second in a warm climate state like AZ, FL, or TX...............
then when the weather cooperates, DRIVE it like it was meant to be driven......

Not retired yet and already have a vacation home, but it's local.
I figured out what I need to do: Go test drive a C7 GS or Z06 - and drive the PI$$ out of it! I'd leave with a **** eating grin that would probably carry me through until the weather straightens up a bit.

I had never thought about that, might be a good way to spend this Saturday.

not retired yet either................. no vacation or winter home either, although that may change in the future too............... still hope to work about 3 - 4 more years................ GREAT idea about the roadtest............ supposed to be 50 here on Saturday and NO rain........
They always have someone go with me on those test drives.......maybe its cause I have my helmet with me when I show up........
H6 my Dad who was raised on a ranch in Montana always said he was 12 years old before he ever ate beef. Grandpa supplied the meat for the family with his trusty Winchester 25-35 that hung on his saddle for 40 years.....I have it in my collection.....
We work with popcorn growers in the State.....after harvest when soil testing we will find ears of it that did not get picked and take them home. We throw a couple in a paper bag and stick it in the Mwave and wait till it all pops and it is the best ever......uh.....basers.....we are supposed to sell you stuff not the other way around......that is how we supplement the cheap rent we charge you for the base camp.....which we may need to go over the lease since you have made all the improvements........may be time to raise the rent.........
Very foggy out this morning as the day gets started.....but temps in the 40's supposed to be the norm for awhile........have a good day Hammeristas.....
....a baser went to a mixed religion seminar.....while sitting there a Priest came by and laid his hands on the basers head and said...by the will of the Lord you will walk today......the baser thanked him but said he was not paralyzed....soon a Rabbi came by and said by the will of God you will walk today.....The baser being less amused said he was just fine thank you....
Soon a Mullah came and took the basers hand and said Insha Allah you will walk today..... The baser snapped.....there is nothing wrong with me...
Finally a Buddhist Monk came by and says peace be with you and by the will of the great Budda you shall walk today......now the baser is getting rude.....what is the matter will all of you....I am fine.......
After the seminar was over the baser still shaking his head and mumbling left the building to find his car had been stolen..............
Well, popcorn man, just know it takes a cow all day to produce enough milk to make two pounds of butter. And to think they Aussies invented powdered butter in 1962, Think how many cows were put out of work.
Perhaps we should hold a butter eating contest in the baser hovel. The world record for butter eating is 7 quarter pound sticks of salted butter in 5 minutes...

So now the question becomes: Were those 7 sticks Eastern or Western style?
Size for Eastern Style Butter is: 1.25" x 1.25" x 5"
Size for Western Style Butter is: 1.5" x 1.5" x 3.5"
I won't ask for the time to convert from square at the entrance to round for the exit.
well boys,, less than 24 hours until we have a new President.......
below is a brief summary of some of the more relevant accomplishments of the departing leader, and the direction this country has headed under his regime..............
baser camp will certainly be celebrating in the hovel about the upcoming change, it is time to get America back on the straight and narrow path to greatness............................
OK Hamsters, a few of us patrons still are part of the American workforce,
maybe not by choice but of necessity, or nothing better to do, but do you retired stay at home patrons have to remind us working stiffs of how you live by answering these questions..........
