Huh :D outta pocket change. Me no spend it me save it to go to some future event. It paid for part of mexico trip why not one of deez wing-dingaling vette events way down Sally. As for the chocolate fetish..just downed a really big Aero bar and the Nestle CRUNCH "Grand Format" is screaming out at me to undress it and well..... make history of it too :yesnod: :yesnod: :yesnod:
Hey Mikey..them are some really :cool: shots of your Tupperware Torpedo. Did it cost alot to get the car over to Egypt for the one in front of the pyramid :crazy: :D
What's really a good laugh is if you could look real close at the original of the picture taken at Texas Motor Speedway, the back drop is peppered with hundreds of bullet holes. The photo was taken early in the morning with the sun in behind, and the light just came streaming through.
Almost as funny was the sign posted in the lobby of an upscale hotel we stayed at near Houston Hobby airport. Located at the entrance to the guests lounge, it read "Firearms are not permitted in the Lounge Area". Seemed weird to us defenceless Canajuns, but then we noticed that the sign was written in a second language-
-
-no, not Spanish
- no not French (of course not)
-yup,Braille
Must have worked, I didn't see one visually impaired person anywhere with an Uzi.
Eeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We're in TEXAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mikey...An upscale hotel near Hobby Airport??? Dudes, I didn't know there were any "upscale" hotels in that neighborhood. I think yawl were lied to; there ain't no fancy places around there.
What???...Don't you guys up there in Canajun land think a blind man has a right to protect himself? Would you leave poor ole Jer without a concealed carry permit to keep all the hijackers, muggers, and murderers off himself? All a blind guy needs is a white cane to a little ranging. :D :D :D
Actually, I think that was a good ole' Texas joke, and it went right over yawls head. The more interesting thing in my opinion is the braille instructions on my bank's drive through ATM machine...but then I thought that was probably dictated by Big Brother for those few blind handicaps that were able to find their way to the drive through. :D :D :D

I think you're right, and I think I just figured out why all the staff was laughing when I took a picture of the sign (for posterity)
When you're up here next year, I'll show you the local equivalent- many stop lights in Montreal have a large sign underneath that reads "Attendez le feu vert"
Pretty funny, eh?
Chuck? Chucky? Chuckles!!!!! Why aren't you laughing? It's hilarious!
Geez, you furriners have no sense of humour I guess. :smash:
No comprende, amigo, las palabras esta sin sentido.
Now, if I had suddenly landed in Quebec, and had to decide what to make of that sign, I would say it means "Keep looking up here so you will know when the light changes". Do yawl have a lot of trouble with those Frenchmen stopping at red lights, and thinking it is a permanent arrangement? :D :D
We Texans are committed to law abiding citizens being able to enjoy the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms to protect themselves from savages (whatever their race, creed, color or ethnic background; we don't care). The hotel sign sounds like a tongue-in-cheek way of letting guests know you can have your personal weapon here, but we just don't want to know about it.
My barber has a similar sign in his window, but you can't just glance at it without reading it: the sign says "Concealed Carry Permit Holders Welcome Here". :D :D

Well, if you're thinking about the Monterey National, you ain't gonna make it with pocket change. You are gonna haf to turn that derustifying ole Vettes into an assembly line process, cuz I looked at NCRS Monterey site, and the going rate for "tours" looks like about $70 (what's that, about $150 Canajun dollars?) I hope they negotiated a fantastic room rate; I want to go, but I don't want to tap my IRA to attend. Mebbe the Rev nows a good bridge to sleep under.
No comprende, amigo, las palabras esta sin sentido.
Oooopps, forgot, y'all don't parlez the quesquididdle down there.
The sign reads "Wait for the green light" nnds it's unilingual French so all us English get a good laugh at our cousins who need to be reminded what to do at a light.
My wife has cousins in Montreal and at night, during the winter, they have to hook up the the electric cord outside, to the cars engine block heater. What a drag. Way too cold for me. :cheers:
Patrick,
I know your cousins, and that's one of the oldest gags in the book :bs . Goes with the one that your pee freezes solid before it hits the ground, and you got to wait till spring to snap the last drips off your .....never mind.
I haven't had a block heater (or needed one) on a car since the '70s and even then it was only required on cars that had weak batteries and poor ignition to start with. Joseph Lucas ring a bell? :D
I rest my case. 1960's technology, sissy battery and Giuseppe Lucasi ignition.
My family has been in the Montreal area for many generations, it's NEVER gotten that cold (40 below) here. You're not one of those tourists that show up in July with a pair of skis on their car are you? If you remember back in the good old days on that 'other' board, there was a discussion of a car overheating in mid town Montreal on the way to our June chapter meet. The air temp was right around 100 degrees f that day......... :lol:
