The Anything Thread

And yet, something EASY and FAST like zucchini bread for your favorite forum members...... :a35:

I'm her favourite? I am the one that brought that up after all.





Crap, she had probably forgotten who to blame. :huh:

[a_bit_crafty]

You have much to learn about women, my friend. :frown2:



:yesnod:



I love the sweet words only a mother full of love could utter. :thumbup:

Bite me. How's that for sweet words of love? :laugh:

[RichGem]

Well, tomorrow is shopping day.

Also, 12 years ago today, Mr. Crafty and I started dating.:biggrin1:

Awwww.

Man alive, now you sound like my wife. :huh:

Another day of staring at my pretty face. :001_tt2: We didn't do anything specail. Just noted it to each other. He remembered before I did.

Well, *flex* my work here is done.

Fire and drugs? :blink:


Some things are better left un-explained...

We had a truck to burn to the ground...one of the nice ones, too. They brought it by the shop before hauling up to Richmond...there was really nothing left. The cab had melted away...metal melted. When the driver noticed something was wrong, he pulled over the side under an overpass. The fire was so hot it warped a couple of I-beams in the overpass.

In a completely unrelated story.....Someone attempted to have a sign for a shopping center delivered...full of drugs. The driver went to make the delivery and the manager of the shopping center stated that she had not ordered any sign, and refused to accept deliver. About that time a "shady looking character", as the driver put it, showed up offering to accept delivery. Naturally, the driver said he could not do that, only the manager could accept such an item for delivery, since she was the company rep. It was taken back to the terminal, where quite accidentally, it was discovered it was filled with some stuff. Various law enforcement agencies were called in, dogs were sniffing all over the dock, and at some point this morning, an individual called asking that another attempt at delivery be made for their sign. When I left work today, a bust was in progress. I'm curious to find out how things went down.

Wow. Tonight on "When Dumb Criminals Attack" :biggrin1:

Sorry to hear about the truck.

President Andrew Jackson was reportedly involved in over 100 duels, most to defend the honor of his wife, Rachel.

In an effort to clarify... he doesn't lose man points for remembering. He loses man points for remembering first. No man should remember an anniversary first; it's one of the rules. Sorry, that's the way it is. I don't write this stuff.

Sorry to hear about the truck.

The company will come out on top of the truck issue. As it happened, it was a freebie...apparently Tractor manufacturers often "give" trucks as an incentive to gain contracts with the trucking companies. So, we really didn't lose anything. Downside, it was a very nice unit made by one of the better manufacturers.

Just a day at the office. :thumbup:

This brings to mind all kinds of stories. Vehicles are more flammable than you would believe! I once saw a video of a school bus. The driver smelled something like an electrical smell. She immediately pulled over. By the time the bus was stopped, flames were coming out of the dash board. She barely got everyone off the back of the bus. In fact, when the video cut out, there were still kids on. A vehicle fire just spreads so bloody fast!

I think we were all just so amazed that it got that hot. The foreman and the district manager - both have nealry 20 years each with the company - said they had never seen one burn down like that. Most of the mechanics have 10 years or more with the company and they said the same. You could no longer tell that it had once been a tractor.

The newer the vehicle, the worse it is. For some reason, new material/technology seems to equate more flammable.

Whatcha have for dinner? Desert? Dancing girls?

Speaking of dancing girls. While using the showers at a truck stop, the other day, Mrs. OldSaw texted me to complain about how small her shower room was and wanted to know if mine was the same. I replied that mine was rather spacious and had dancing girls. She was slightly amused and later asked if the dancing girls were still dancing and I told her that they were taking a break in the hot tub. :lol::lol:

We keep each other amused, because no one else will.

Crafty... I've been meaning to mention that the Czardom has been absolutely sparkling since you took over those duties. The throne room (the red carpet one, not the white porcelain one) has never looked better.

FTR, I was exaggerating about being in trouble. It really wasn't that big of a deal. I was expecting to get the "look" but I didn't even get that. My wife came home almost acting drunk herself. She got her hair cut; seven inches! :eek: I was still in bed and am proud to say, drunk, sober, awake or asleep, I instantly noticed! I guess that is a Get Out of Jail Free card. :thumbup:

Yeah, for about 30 seconds... or until the next time you screw up.

~~Checking in. Finally done with the kids' Halloween costumes. All I can say is I hope they remember and appreciate when they get older! Not everyone does custom costuming for such demanding little ankle biters.

They should. I know I do. My mom made us costumes every year. We were always the best dressed for Halloween. :thumbup:

The higher percentage of plastics in vehicles nowadays probably doesn't help.


I do think the added electronics has something to do with the fires just taking off and raging extremely fast.

That probably doesn't help either with all these heated seats, heated mirrors and so-on...

[OldSaw]

But it involves fire and drugs! :mad3:



It is? But it's just a hair cut. :001_huh::blink::001_huh::blink:


Noticing that is -- for reasons unknown to any male EVER -- important to the female half of a marriage.


It's only hair. It grows back. Anyone posting on an internet shaving forum should know that.

I love the sweet words only a mother full of love could utter. :thumbup:

Yes... yes you do have much to learn as the example below illustrates. Remembering important things like birthdays and wedding anniversaries isn't enough. After over a decade you will still be expected to remember the day you met, started dating, met the family, bought a Cinnabon together... I mean, it never ends. No matter how good you are, you are guaranteed to mess up if you don't take good notes and keep them with you at all times.


Well, tomorrow is shopping day.

I've only been in this business for a little over a year and I have seen this at least twice. One was just south of Chicago, I saw the truck stopped with the hood open and about an hour later when I was going back to Gary, IN it was totally engulfed in flames and the entire back of the sleeper cab was gone from being melted.

BTW, I'm in Chicago land tonight. My beloved posted some nice pics of our morning in PA on her blog (http://mrstrucker.blogspot.com/) today.

Tomorrow we are planning on stopping at Iowa 80, the world's largest truck stop, on our way to Omaha where we are hoping to hoping to have a little impromptu meet up with Warren Buffet. I'm sure he wouldn't mind dining with us at the truck stop, I hear he's a pretty frugal guy.

Pretty smooooth, Dennis! That just might work. Just don't ask her what planet she's from, or you might find yourself driving the next leg of the trip with a zucchini stuck someplace where the sun don't shine! She's a tad sensitive about that!

Here is an amusing story Klog just told me on the phone. Him and his wife went to Indy last weekend. They stopped at a pen shop. The man working there explained how he was going through a pack of pens a week while in college. When he switched to fountain pens, it saved him $100 a year.

Well, this lead to saving money by doing things in the old school way. He turns out to be a wet shaver. So, Klog asked him if he had heard of B&B. He turns out to be a member here. Doesn't post a lot but recognized my name and has posted in Linux Mint. Small world. :lol:

But there's not distinction in being known as either "Blake", or "The Blake", so your request just doesn't seem justified. Now if it were a name that people look up to and admire or hold in high esteem....something like Stan the Man, for example, it would make sense.

But who in their right mind would want to known here as "Blake" or "The Blake"? :blink:

That will cost more than 2 bits :001_rolle!

I will cost 2 bits for a real mod. Your wait time is approximately tomorrow :tongue_sm!

He's wearing a pink shirt, how bad can it be?

(the real James Bond, just FYI, would never even be caught dead in pink, Blake.)


Well, the real Bond hadn't met Sue.



I've never met her either but I've read a lot of her post and I like her spirit. Today, or yesterday now, was certainly a smile breaker. So I'm bringing in another helper.........

Thanks for helping again Swampfox (sorry about your ear mites). :blink:

I failed DARE.

This reminds me of something amusing. First of all, my dad was a police officer so I sort of knew the DARE Officers. We had two, one male, I forget his name, and one female, named Tammy. Tammy didn't spend as much time with my group and she didn't know me as well.

Fast forward to about four years ago. She is now Chief of Police in that town. My dad managed a uniform shop until recently. I was in there one day and Tammy came in. While dad was away getting something, she started talking to me. I normally don't automatically think so, but I think she was flirting. She was asking me some questions about where I worked and such when dad returned. He pointed out to her I was his son. She acted embarrassed. So, to further twist the knife, I reminded her she was my DARE Officer when I was in Elementary school.

To say the least, she was not pleased by this turn of events. She practically ran to the back and hid and said she felt so old. :lol::lol::lol:

[jakespoppy]

Sue is ....more than words can do justice.

[Swampfox]

Oh that isn't good! Are they going to have to replace the overpass?

A sign? Wow... :blink:

I have no idea about the overpass. Can you imagine how hot that fire must have been? :blink:

Re: the sign....I guess they figured that no one would ever look or question it. There really is no telling how much illegal drugs gets shipped via the trucking industry every years. There are so many ways to hide things away.


The higher percentage of plastics in vehicles nowadays probably doesn't help.

That probably doesn't help either with all these heated seats, heated mirrors and so-on...

No to mention, some guys have so much stuff plugged in their trucks, wires all over the place.....


As a driver, I hope my day never gets that exciting.

:lol::lol::lol:


I've only been in this business for a little over a year and I have seen this at least twice. One was just south of Chicago, I saw the truck stopped with the hood open and about an hour later when I was going back to Gary, IN it was totally engulfed in flames and the entire back of the sleeper cab was gone from being melted.

I imagine as a driver, you do see a lot more of that than I would. I am rarely off the terminal premises, but out on the open road with all the different companies out there...it probably happens a lot.


Here is an amusing story Klog just told me on the phone. Him and his wife went to Indy last weekend. They stopped at a pen shop. The man working there explained how he was going through a pack of pens a week while in college. When he switched to fountain pens, it saved him $100 a year.

Well, this lead to saving money by doing things in the old school way. He turns out to be a wet shaver. So, Klog asked him if he had heard of B&B. He turns out to be a member here. Doesn't post a lot but recognized my name and has posted in Linux Mint. Small world. :lol:

For all practical purposes, a steel beam heated to 1,000 degrees is expected to fail. A fifty foot steel beam will expand four inches at 1,000 degrees. If it is secured at both ends, like on an overpass, it will buckle instead.

FTR, I was exaggerating about being in trouble. It really wasn't that big of a deal. I was expecting to get the "look" but I didn't even get that. My wife came home almost acting drunk herself. She got her hair cut; seven inches! :eek: I was still in bed and am proud to say, drunk, sober, awake or asleep, I instantly noticed! I guess that is a Get Out of Jail Free card. :thumbup:

Always!


Noticing that is -- for reasons unknown to any male EVER -- important to the female half of a marriage.

Yup, and every smart married man who wants to stay married learns this early on.


It's only hair. It grows back. Anyone posting on an internet shaving forum should know that.

Sorry to hear about the truck.

President Andrew Jackson was reportedly involved in over 100 duels, most to defend the honor of his wife, Rachel.

This reminds me of something amusing. First of all, my dad was a police officer so I sort of knew the DARE Officers. We had two, one male, I forget his name, and one female, named Tammy. Tammy didn't spend as much time with my group and she didn't know me as well.

Fast forward to about four years ago. She is now Chief of Police in that town. My dad managed a uniform shop until recently. I was in there one day and Tammy came in. While dad was away getting something, she started talking to me. I normally don't automatically think so, but I think she was flirting. She was asking me some questions about where I worked and such when dad returned. He pointed out to her I was his son. She acted embarrassed. So, to further twist the knife, I reminded her she was my DARE Officer when I was in Elementary school.

To say the least, she was not pleased by this turn of events. She practically ran to the back and hid and said she felt so old. :lol::lol::lol:

No woman can resist the charms of The Blake, eh? :lol::lol::lol:


I have no idea about the overpass. Can you imagine how hot that fire must have been? :blink:

It doesn't take much I can tell you that. It only took one Iranian grad student to completely destroy the overpass at i-75 and 9 Mile Road up in metro Detroit the other year. Luckily nobody was killed but that little unrepentant punk got nothing more than a $150 fine for reckless driving. They should have deported his sorry self after he started complaining about being fined. Dude! You took out a freaking interstate overpass! :glare:


Re: the sign....I guess they figured that no one would ever look or question it. There really is no telling how much illegal drugs gets shipped via the trucking industry every years. There are so many ways to hide things away.

Yeah, I'm sure that's true.


No to mention, some guys have so much stuff plugged in their trucks, wires all over the place.....

:yesnod:


Also... in fun news... so, you're saying that "The Blake" is really "The Situation" and was on Dancing with Stars and got flunked for dancing like a drunken horse? Hm... maybe I'll have to start watching that snooze fest after all.

How or maybe why is a better question... Why do you know of these things? :blink::blink:


For all practical purposes, a steel beam heated to 1,000 degrees is expected to fail. A fifty foot steel beam will expand four inches at 1,000 degrees. If it is secured at both ends, like on an overpass, it will buckle instead.

Well, I'm no engineer, but I would think a beam carrying a load might start to fail at temperatures lower than that. That said, I've heard vehicle fires can emit heat at an upwards of 1500 degrees Fahrenheit depending on vehicle size, composition and the amount of fuel available.


That wasn't nearly so bad as when he got out The Veg and started to use the bottle as an aspergilium while shouting "Out foul demon!" I thought that was rather redundant.

Which was the foul demon? Him or the Veg? :lol:

Well, I'm no engineer, but I would think a beam carrying a load might start to fail at temperatures lower than that. That said, I've heard vehicle fires can emit heat at an upwards of 1500 degrees Fahrenheit depending on vehicle size, composition and the amount of fuel available.

Strangely enough, the fuel was probably the cooling factor in this one.

[blackfoot]

But let us not forget that Blake was actually able to combine pink and Bond. A very somber bravo.

Thanks, I was pleased with myself. :cool:


Anuone who can combine pink and Bond, sew their own buckskins and moccasins, come in late in the morning drunk and not get in trouble, is a very creative person. And of course, with your creative skills, I'm sure you can appreciate that. Or at least part of it. Or maybe all of it? :001_cool:

I have skills, a master of Blakeshido. :lol:


And most importantly, with all due respect, why in the world would you think that Blake might be in his right mind?

Excellent point. And what is with everyone's fascination with my arse. You aren't a group of Emo Matrix wannabes are you?

I am sure load makes some difference but that information came from a discussion on structural fires in my NFPA textbook. So, I would assume their facts took at least some load into consideration.

Point taken. I wonder what loads they tested them under and how those compare to a typical bridge or overpass.

My initial thought was , you have a point. I am sure that they were not discussing highways. Just as I began to type, a question popped into my head. Which is heavier, a ton of feathers or a ton of rocks? It doesn't matter if it is a bridge or building being held up. The load tolerances will not be exceeded or undershot by much. That being said, a bridge is expected to handle a wide range of live loads for varying durations whereas a building is carefully calculated at a set dead load.

Matt, you have created all kinds of questions for me. Having worked as a firefighter and in construction has always been interesting because I understood the why behind so many things. However, I am no engineer. Therefore, I am just plain curious.

Interesting stuff to be sure. Either way, the way Ray made it sound, they're going to have, at minimum, repair that overpass, if not completely reconstruct it. Warped I-beams, weakened steel, and a number of people relying on this overpass on a daily basis. Not a good combination.

my heart is heavy this morning. Not for my uncle, but for my aunt.

I'm so sorry to hear the news, Ray. Condolences and prayers for all concerned.

[RichGem]

You have been hanging around me and Topgumby too much.

.

Well, at least my flea collar is working so far. No ear mites here.

Make up your mind.

Silence! It's not wise to anger a redheaded vampire banshee zombie. :shifty:


:glare:

Hey don't look at me like that. I didn't go and get earmites.


No, no, no! Blake only gets a hot wind. I feel a cool breeze up my SuperKilt.

Ah, ah, ah... you can't change your title back now. :hand:

Ray has earmites and you have fleas. Wonderful. :001_unsur

So, that's what that pink scarf is........

No, those are my new (dyed) chest feathers.

[RichGem]

Sigh. NO, my collar is working, unlike Ray's.

[RichGem]

Custom Title, Aisle 3!

It's a good thing you don't have that power. :thumbup1:

[blackfoot]

It's a good thing you don't have that power. :thumbup1:

True, because you got passed by on a great opportunity not too terribly long ago. :lol:

[Swampfox]

My condolences and prayers brother.


Ray, my prayers will continue for you, your Aunt and the rest of your family. Your Uncle no longer needs them as he has gone home.

Hang in there brother.


I'm so sorry to hear the news, Ray. Condolences and prayers for all concerned.

Thanks to all of you. You are really a great group of gentlemen (ladies, too). This is the only place on the forum that I have mentioned my uncle's illness and fight with cancer, and it is the only place where I have mentioned his passing.

I feel comfortable here - comfortable to mention the good and high points, as well as the bad and low points of life. Despite our goofing off and clowning around, there is a genuine compassion for one another among the posters in this thread. Not to say that does not exist elsewhere, but I have come to genuinely think of you here as my friends.

[Swampfox]

Silence! It's not wise to anger a redheaded vampire banshee zombie. :shifty:

No you are adding zombie to the mix?


No, those are my new (dyed) chest feathers.

Sure.....


Sigh. NO, my collar is working, unlike Ray's.

That means you once had fleas.

[RichGem]

No you are adding zombie to the mix?



Sure.....



That means you once had fleas.

No, that means I"m being careful.

edit: True story: My bro-in-law was in Dessert Storm and the sand fleas over there were so bad that each guy was issued 5 (i think) flea collars to wear on various locations of his person to help with the problem.

[RichGem]

True, because you got passed by on a great opportunity not too terribly long ago. :lol:

Huh. Really? I wonder what I said....

[SRock]

It's a good thing you don't have that power. :thumbup1:

Did someone call me?

[RichGem]

Did someone call me?

Shoo Fly Boy. Shoo.


:lol: :tongue_sm

[jakespoppy]

With a big rig?
Of course!

Is that war actually over?
Maybe not. There was only one soldier on each side, and I thought one went down, but he seems to be back up.

I am Princess Pink Nebula. :tongue:
Very pleased to meet you, Your Highness!

I'm sorry, but I don't see you citizenship papers here.Please let her stay! She adds such a nice dementia here.

*maybe that's "dimension"? no, it's dementia*


Rob and Blake have matching Bat-tats? :001_unsurThey were two-for-one.


Gypsies, ear mites, fleas
We give 'em to the people of the town they tell us
no more gypsies, ear mites, or fleas
but at night those B&Bers come around
and they lay their money down....
Cher would be proud.


Ah, we French are poor. We do not even have our own language. Just this silly accent: haw haw haw. We all sound like Maurice Chevalier!
And that is an excellent French accent, monsieur! :thumbup1:

So Blake, what's the opportunity for a custom title for Rich that was missed?

Indeed. I know I threw something out there to see if it'd get picked up, but (blush), I don't remember what it was.

[blackfoot]

:biggrin:

Man! That was a week a go. I'll see what I can do. :devil:

Yes, we need you!

Don't forget the Redheaded Vampire Banshee Vampire who has been lurking around.

[blackfoot]

Wow. Finding that'll be like reading the dictionary backwards at this point.

:whistling:


Well, truth be told, the mod involved is slightly dyslexic. What the title should have said was: Would a mod please pinch me bum and make this cheap tart feel pretty and desirable.

[gollum83]

No you are adding zombie to the mix?

I'm a quadruple threat. Nervous? :ihih:


That means you once had fleas.

That's what I'm getting out of this too. :blink:


No, that means I"m being careful.

Uh-huh... :001_rolle

Oh and those sand fleas... :yikes:


They were two-for-one.

Still two wrongs don't make a right. :eek:

You beat me to it! :lol::lol::lol::lol:

Excellent!!

I must add, though, from what I hear that "cheap" is not the proper adjective, and as far as pretty... Well, the mods are outstanding, but they are not miracle workers. :tongue_sm

Ray, I am so sorry to hear about your uncle. You and yours will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. Wish I could really find the words but I keep getting my keyboard wet.

I just seen the post about your uncle, it can be hard to keep up in this thread. :blushing:

I'm sorry to hear about that, cancer is a horrible horrible thing, the black plague of our time.
