dadgum it, me too, I was trying to sneak the 8K'th post in...oh well, it doesn't matter who made the score, the whole team wins, right?

Uhhhhhh, No...:001_rolle

Ray is right. Given this thread's generally preschool-esque disposition, we go by tee-ball rules. Both teams always win. No losers. It's all about the love of the game and a lack of hurt feelings here in TAT. Now let's all shake hands and go out for pizza pi. (Coach Ray's treat. :wink:)

Nah. He's simply expressing his agreement in a disagreeable way. Can't we all just get along? (See custom title, above. Plus, I want pi.)

3 slims, two that work, one that will once I find another door
several gems

and a bunch of bits and pieces.
I will be posting pics soon (after I get around to taking pics), I'll be needing some help ID'ing most of it, a lot of of heads and base plates that I'm not sure what they are.
a either red or blue tip...impossible to tell, upon receipt the tip was red, but the handle had been painted black! craziness, I tell you...
I really want to kick myself for not taking before pics, but surely ya'll can understand if my excitement kicked in before such thoughts did

I coached him all the way through until High School. He's one of those kids that is like a sponge when it's something he likes. This gave me the opportunity to teach him collage moves at age 11 through 13.

This year he had 104 tackles, 5 sacks, 9 forced fumbles, 2 fumble recovery's ans 17 blocked passes. This kid is an animal.

Hello Taters... still kicking.. just distracted and off target.

One of the local elementary schools had a fire. They are now squeezed into my middle school. We are gladly working to make accommodations, just trying to work things out.

Sincerely though, sorry to hear about your daughter -- I'll keep the prayers for peace coming.

Speaking of that... a quick calculation shows that this thread accounts for approximately 24.105879975752677308547181248737% of your posts. :tongue:

And you know what happens when you divide that by 7.6731399114419533470308478360832, right?

And Jac, what sort of plane is that?

It's a '46 Aeronca Champ... My parent's gave me a tailwheel Discovery Flight (my instructor just got the Champ a couple of months ago, so I'm kind of his first tailwheel student) for my birthday. I didn't get to use it 'til just this weekend, due to weather* and scheduling, but I now have 2 hours of tailwheel time logged. And let me tell you, if you're ever feeling a bit too sure of yourself, go try to learn how to fly a taildragger... it'll humble you right up!:lol:

It's a great, classic airplane.

*As you can see, weather was almost a factor that day, too... it was really foggy that morning, and by the time we were ready to go, it had lifted everywhere except the direction our destination was in:001_rolle . So we went up around the pattern and climbed some to see just how far it extended, and it turned out to be just a strip about 7 or 8 miles wide; most of that was over a dry lake bed, so we decided it would be safe enough to just fly over it. My first VFR "on top".:cool: It turned out to be a beautiful day, though (see the picture below)...

I can't help myself, but every once in awhile after my wife has forgotten about it, I'll bring up "the word" and we have a big laugh, like a couple of drunken monkeys. This last weekend we were checking out one of the local junque shops and they had an LP of "silly songs". Yes, you guessed it. We now own our very own copy of "Surfin' Bird."

Fennel, saffron, and licorice Pernod liqueur flavor this hearty chicken stew. Plan ahead to marinate the chicken overnight. The marinade is used in the stew, so do not toss it.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour, 15 minutes
Ingredients:
4 tomatoes, peeled, cored, seeded and chopped
2 large onions, quartered
4 garlic cloves, crushed
4 large fennel bulbs with feathery leaves attached, coarsely chopped
3 Tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup Pernod licorice- flavored aperitif
2 pinches saffron
1/3 cup fresh thyme
4 bay leaves
Salt
Black pepper
4 chicken legs with thighs attached, skin removed
1 pound boiling potatoes, peeled and quartered
2 cups chicken stock
Preparation:
The day before: combine the tomatoes, onions, garlic, fennel, olive oil, Pernod, saffron, thyme, bay leaves, salt, and pepper in a large covered casserole. Stir to blend and add the chicken, stir to coat the chicken.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours to blend the seasonings.

At least 1 hour before you begin to prepare the dish, remove the chicken from the refrigerator.

Stew the chicken in its marinade, covered, over medium heat, stirring from time to time, for about 30 minutes.

Add the potatoes and chicken stock, simmer until the potatoes are cooked (30 to 45 minutes).

Taste for seasoning and serve stew in warmed shallow soup bowls.

Yield: 4 servings

Actually it was v .56se but if you want to run it in a larger population environment, the Frankenstein module isn't necessary, you can also substitute Alucard.count.rom or in more arid climates, mum.e is acceptable. Personally, I forgo all those and avoid the whole thing by installing the Politician module... I believe the one I run is the arrog3nt-pr1ck deamon. It appears to be the most popular choice in European nations, though it is certainly gaining popularity in the U.S. and Canada as well.

Okay, here's a Shortest Thread Exclusive!

A few months back, two of our members, myself and profsaffel made what is arguably the 3rd worse pirate movie ever made (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JvUzUjrC0s)--I'm looking at you "Cutthroat Island" and "Ice Pirates"-- deemed by critics as "missing something." Well, after careful review, I've finally figured out what it was missing.

It needed more Benny Hill.

So, without further ado, I present to you The Fountain: Benny Hill Remix (http://james.nerdiphythesoul.com/bennyhillifier/?id=8JvUzUjrC0s)

OMFG!!! I laughed my chili onto my computer screen! Micah, this is damned funny. How can we get this on the rerelease? :lol:

Our 'pirate movie' is definitely better as a silent film - anytime you cut out my lines it doubles the value of the movie - and even the sword fight sequence is incredibly better. The funniest part is watching us run around the woods with the Benny Hill synced perfectly to it.

I'm going to see if I can move TAT beyond the drama (I leave for two days for another job interview/campus visit and the whole place gets stressful -- what the heck?!)...

Super Bowl -- Two questions:

1) Who's gonna' win? (and while you're at it, post a score in James' shave stick thread for a shot at another guess)

2) Most importantly for some (including my lovely wife) what are you watching during halftime? (The Boss, The Kitten Bowl, the Wipeout Bowl, etc.?)
TAT drama? really? :rolleyes:
felt likehttp://thefamilybiz.org/ezboard/emoticons/kick.gif
who's gonna win?
I'm picking the Steelers, their one of my favorites, but really I'd like to see the Cardinals win, I just feel Pittsburg is gonna be too much for them defensively.
halftime, I usually ignore it, we usually have a youth super bowl party and do a devotional and share time during half time, but there wasn't any interest this year, everyone is either out of town or got other plans, so who knows.
I posted a 27-17 Steeler win in the shave stick thread, so we'll see...I base that on a dream I had where the score was close going into the 4th, an Arizona turnover led to a Steeler momentum shift and scoring spree...guess we'll see in roughly 24 hours...
