  1. A word on that: I had gastric bypass surgery this past May 30. It's now part of my new diet. I eat two of them a day to get protien. I have lost a total of 120+ pounds. No more high blood pressue. Dibetes is in complete remission. No more snoring/sleep apnea. No more back pain (2 herniated discs from 1994 injury) because of weight loss. Many many problems have gone away, not to mention the fact that I feel FUCKING OUTSTANDING!!!!! If eating Chobani removes man points, so be it!!!! Besides it tastes good, especially when you dump some high-protien crushed granola into it!!!!
  2. Where shall I send the bill for my flatscreen cleaning as it now has chobani yogurt all over it?
  3. I would want to get confirmation from the Factory on that- they will have ALL of the original build/spec sheets.
  4. This is what REALLY happened......

  5. www.lasermonks.com It's a monastary that recycles ink cartriges to run the monastary- they have some pretty decent prices, too.
  6. Know why California has so many Lawyers and New Jersey has so many toxic waste dumps? New Jersey got first pick........ They are either your best friend or your worst enemy. I wanted to kill my Ex-Wife's Lawyer when we were getting divorced, and just wanted to hurt my own lawyer real bad. I had a lawyer to represent me when I had to medically retire as a firefighter. She was ok. Just cringed when I had to write the check. Then, just this past year, the (new) wife and I had to sue the school district to get our son the special education that he needs- that they are required by Pa. law to provide (but were refusing.) Had to sue them using an Education Lawyer, who was a godsend. School District wound up seeing the error of their ways and settled before we hit the courtroom. She is on our christmas card list.
  7. ahhhh 10-4 on that. It's time. My parents had good luck at Lowes, they picked up a floor model for cheap.
  8. I dont think thats going to happen. I know I told Ben this joke once, but in case if you missed it- "Whats the difference between a green banana and a Detroit? They aint worth a shit until they turn (cat) yellow!!!!!
  9. Before you go and get a new one- clean her out and disassemble the inside of the freezer to get at the fan assembly that blows the cold air around (and down into the fridge.) Last year we thought our fridge took a shit but a friend saved me by suggesting I do the same thing....... Get at the fan, and see if it has seized up or is really stiff. All I needed to do was take the fan/motor assembly down to the local appliance shop and they put it on the test bench- yep sure enough it took a shit. So they ordered me a new one, took 3 days, and they even pressed the fan onto the new motor shaft for me. Only cost me 60 bucks. In the meantime neighbors kept the food cold for us. Mama also took the time to give the whole fridge inside a good through bath with hot soap and water and then a weak bleach wiping.
  10. no no no no no dont hold off....in fact bump the recipe up to 5lbs.....works all that much better and quicker, trust me!
  11. Yes, this is an industry-accepted practice for 2-stroke Detroits.
  12. I am on the 21st anniversary of my 21st b-day!!!!
  13. Varmint-Cong.......
  14. Mark, this is true however if used for that purpose it should only be after emptying the crankcase of oil and giving the whole oily thing a good through steam cleaning, wouldnt want to pollute 12 miles of shoreline.
  15. Take the 4 lb block of C-4 and place it on the side of the engine block, stand back about 1000 yards and detonate and that should un-stick the rack and cure the oil leaks as well.
  16. No, violence would be taking a 20lb sledge hammer to it.
  17. Morgan Freeman's statement about these random shootings.... "You want to know why. This may sound cynical, but here's why. It's because of the way the media reports it. Flip on the news and watch how we treat the Batman theater shooter and the Oregon mall shooter like celebrities. Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris are household names, but do you know the name of a single victim of Columbine? Disturbed people who would otherwise just off themselves in their mothers basement see the news and want to top it by doing something worse, and going out in a memorable way. Why a grade school? Why children? Because he'll be remembered as a horrible monster, instead of a sad nobody. CNN's article says that if the body count "holds up", this will rank as the second deadliest shooting behind Virginia Tech, as if statistics somehow make one shooting worse than another. Then they post a video interview of third-graders for all the details of what they saw and heard while the shootings were happening. Fox News has plastered the killer's face on all their reports for hours. Any articles or news stories yet that focus on the victims and ignore the killer's identity? None that I've seen yet. Because they don't sell. So congratulations, sensationalist media, you've just lit the fire for someone to top this and knock off a day care center or a maternity ward next. You can help by forgetting you ever read this man's name, and remembering the name of at least one victim. You can help by donating to mental health research instead of pointing to gun control as the problem."
  18. Hmmmmm.....I figure about 3-4lbs of C-4 should do it.
  19. mmmmmmm Hayward R Model......I'm horny!!!!
  20. Recently overheard when Vinny was sitting on Santa's Lap: SANTA: "And what would you like for Christmas, little boy?" Vinny: "I want a kickstand, or some oak cribbing, or some high lift jacks, or some counterweights, or some fat chicks for counterweights............
  21. Merry Kwaanzaa!
  22. There is a plumbing outfit around here that has a fleet of those van-chassis trucks with the high cube body...The back doors have a print on them of a guy standing in the door, showing the shelves fully stocked with tools, parts and supplies. You really have to look hard to see its not real!!!
  23. Anyone ever see this? This is sorta truck racing......I'd like to have this set up under the hood of the FWD.....
  24. I671's were available in the mid-1940's I believe (back when Detroit was known as GM Diesel.) They were especially popular as a marine engine for their ability to run backwards. The Philadelphia Fire Department had three fireboats that all had four I671's that could be clutched in any combination of propulsion/pump drives.
  25. Many many firetrucks had I671's.....Including my volunteer outfit's 1978 Hahn, which had the first I671T (turbocharged) that Hahn ever installed in one of their trucks. Yes, the loud, obnoxious, smoke-blowing, oil-dripping, two-cycle lawn boy wanna-be mechanical assholes came in inline and V versions. The scavenging blower on the inline versions were mounted on the sides.
