MacGnG: if you went back in time to medieval England and discovered a McDonald's restaurant just down the road from a knights castle, what would that be called?

No, Sion. I'm not the president of Xena's fan-club. I like strong women, not women that pretend they're strong.

The tragic thing is that THESE days will be remembered as "the good old days by billions of people.
To me, the best soft drink ever was the original Coca-cola in a 12 oz glass bottle. The 1960's gave us the best damn American cars, the REAL golden age of baseball, the most amazing advancement in musical culture ever, and the true revolution in thought, word and deed. Most culture since then has been weak mimicry. I may have more comfort and convenience now, but MY good old days were the BEST old days. Got another question?

GSRIDER: imagine this scenario: a nice curvy mountain road. the speedo hits 110 as you come ripping out of the back end of a hard S curve, suddenly a dirty rat scurries out right in front of you. you lean hard, but end up plowing into the little bastard anyway. your front wheel starts that wobbling thing and you are sure you are going to bite it hard. you ease off the throttle and say a silent prayer of thanks that you chose to wear your helmet today. finally you manage to get the bike under control and pull over to let the shakes pass. your question: what do you think of leash laws?
uncle phil: what about your back? bender: as in booze or spoons? Fantasma: in the movie Fantasm, what the fuck was that little flying ball thingie with the blade on it called? grumpyolddude: Trans Am or Z28? aw who gives a fuck about those Generic Motors jalopies, gimmie a 67 Shelby GT, right? MacGnG: nice answer (although YE Olde MacDonald's would have been even funnier). I was looking for the word anachronism, but your answer works well enough. you may continue playing if you so desire.

GM fucked up. Generation 1 Camaro and Firebird were awesome! They had a stability that could handle as much horsepower as you could throw at 'em. The team that designed the F body from then on belongs in jail. They foisted a squirrelly ass-ended rattle trap on us, and a million lame-o's bought into it!
Ford didn't do much better. 1968 was the last GREAT Mustang. The Mach 1 era was plagued with lousy production control, rotting frame horns and tie rods/ball joints better suited to baby buggies than muscle cars. Yes, the 67 Shelby GT was/is classic. Personally, I'd like a '68 'Cuda convertible with a 340S Hurst package. The questions are getting better. Gimme some more? Grumpy Old Dude

uncle phil: "my back is back, as well as that little piece on the side..." so, phil, still shaving it?
Zooksport12: have you ever welded a beveled L joint? cybermike: is your TFP nickname intentionally generic, or do you just lack imagination? grumpyolddude: "Personally, I'd like a '68 'Cuda convertible with a 340S Hurst package." nice choice, although I kinda figured you for a GTO Judge man. so, what do you think of the 68 Shelby KR500 convertible? its my dream car, dont ya know. MacGnG: what part of "you may continue playing if you so desire" did you not understand? ok, ignore the sarcastic comment and answer me this: why do they call it hamburger "helper" when it does just fine by itself?

The Shelby KR is really sweet. How about a white one:
www.fraserdante.com/68shelbykr.htm Not a bad dream. Like I said: '68 and earlier, before the bean counters took over. Here's a purple coupe: www.thecarsource.com/shelby/1968/gt500kr.html (an I colorblind in my dotage? It may be brown.) enjoy! How about another question? grumpy

Unfortunately, once you see a giant Mexican squirrel, it's already too late! No one has ever lived tto describe the encounter. The only defense is: DON'T LOOK! If you suspect the presence of a giant Mexican squirrel, avert your eyes and run like hell... and teach you children to do the same!
This has been a public service announcement from the Mexican Peyote Bud Foundation. Any questions? grumpy

Loki: are you aware of the fact that your avatar reminds me of an especially vivid acid trip I once had?
grumpyolddude: peyote huh? so, tell me, is the puking part of the fun, or just a side effect that must be endured to get to the buzz? Minx: how do you feel about fur garments? what about PETA?

Greg700 was my original aol name when I was much younger. I think I chose 700 because I was saving up to get a remington 700. Go figure.

THANK YOU FOR ASKING SUCH AN EASY QUESTION. Care to ask me another?

uncle phil: you have to ask for each question. if you do not, I must assume that you dont want another. next question: what do you know about collectable victorian dolls?
Loki: ubi ignus est? Zooksport2: are/were you a high school metalshop teacher?
