For those outside of the Motor City, the link below is about the 2018 Woodward Dream Cruise, but also has about 150 photos to click through of the various types of cars seen................ photos were of the 2017 event

AS a teacher, I do all my writing on paper left handed but wrote right handed on the chalk board.....yes, I still had a chalk board right through until I retired. People would say "Oh, you're ambidextrous" .... "you call it ambidextrous, I say I'm freaking screwed up. I don't know which to use". It actually comes in really handy in many situations.

Raining here off and on.......bring it I say....... let the heavens pour forth...... Had a client show up to take us out to dinner last night and to also bestow on us a bottle of Weller Bourbon....... so we had to crack that open...... very smooth......... some say it is the same recipe as Pappy's only not aged as long........ I can neither confirm nor deny that rumor so am awaiting confirmation from the great informed here at Hammy's......... I do know it is good......and a hell of a lot cheaper and easier to find then Pappy's....... but what do we care...... as long as Ruxy keeps printing money we are flush anyway...... Right? damn right!

Soooo...I'm a little cconfused about all you lefty righty dooty tooty guys. Does that mean you're hermaphrodite? You can go...ooops, my mistake. I meant to say ambidextrous. You can use either hand. You can probably swap hands without missing a stroke...😱

those were kind of my thoughts on the one's bragging about being able to use either hand...........................

all I will say from MY perspective, is two hands are required due to size..................

pretty slammed at work, new normal, but also disappointed that I am unable to provide the gif of the monkey using both hands............

perhaps my wide-bodied topless brother can come to the aide of this baser and post it................

H1, may need some input from the basers related to Pappys?????????????? We seem to get all we require at a very low cost.......................... just need to give a few pesos to the boys to reroute the delivery drivers............

Most people cant tell the difference from a high dollar bourbon to a cheap one.

had a good friend (until I traded the Vette for little chit, hasn't talked to me since, so maybe not so good ) who had an extensive bourbon collection, including all of the Pappys years. His wife use to joke that she would blind taste test him and ask him "cheap or expensive". Said he never got it right.

Put $20 bourbon in a Pappy's bottle and most won't know the difference.

There must be a reason they sell empty Pappys bottles on ebay for ridiculous prices. But hey, you get free shipping...
Wonder what my 3/4 full bottle is worth....

Being that everyone is talking about liquor...
I clearly know nothing about the differences but I have bought a few bottle of Jonnie Blue for my brother over the years as that's his favorite. For his bday last weekend I picked this up for him, cheap by standards of what I've paid in the past. $99.

Nice gift pack....I just never had the taste buds for scotch, or maybe I just never tried good scotch.

Whenever I see Johnnie Walker I think of the series Jessie Stone played by Tom Sellick. One of my favorites.

Scotch, Whiskey, Bourbon, all smells like MEK to me. Can't imagine what it would taste like. I do know in a pickle to clean some parts at 1am I bought a two litre bottle of some whiskey for .99c. Worked just as well as the solvent in my parts washer.

Randy, seems to me almost any GS'er would ante up and pay the money for the empty bottle.................. then go and get some of the cheap stuff, fill it up, and brag to his other GS'er buddies that he has some Pappys................. seeing that the only way a GS'er here at Hammy's could get some of the real stuff would be to ask a baser to provide it...........

kind of the same thing GM did to get them to buy GS'ers....................... larger body, everything else the same as a baser car except for the GS'er slower speed...................

This lower than low baser ( not sure I even qualify as that any longer ) only has Van Winkle's 12 year old, but any of my Hammy's homies are welcome to it if they ever stop in...

Hey Randy why don't you slap some fender extenders and wider tires on lil chit. Then you can claim to be an GSer. Everyone will believe you now that the new baser lil chit is faster.

Just put the good whiskey in a flask, replace with cheap crap to serve all your GSer friends......good to go.

They actually have a process where they "roll" the fenders to make them wider....might have to check that out..

I'll be the first to say I cant tell the difference between the really expensive stuff and the cheaper stuff.

It's a good thing to have Walmart taste buds I guess....
