MCM Ohana

MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. Im always on the look out for old store display fixtures like this that was discarded behind our local grocery store ( I asked first ) sometimes i have to sort them by the odd shaped boxs Also found this rotating display stand that works great for Hot Wheels/Matchbox
  2. I replied to your P.M.
  3. I have a stalled Pinto project that Id be willing to trade for. I believe it is a '74 with the big safety bumpers , it has a trunk not a hatchback I have the glass , bumpers, grill and tail lights
  4. The Buick from the real French Connection you posted reminds me of the Buick LeSabre from Fast Times at Ridgemont High . They could make a model series from that movie , a 1960 Buick , a green Gremlin an old VW bus a silver Z28 ect besides alot of cool cars/trucks in the background Loved the clip from the Flim Flam Man !
  5. Saw on the national news this evening that ebay is ' eliminating ' 10% of their workforce
  6. Some of these stories remind me of high school shop class and good 'ol Primitive Pete.
  7. A friend of mine drives a semi from Michigan to California every week , some times he goes through Hatch , New Mexico and brings me back a string of chilies like this The starting point of my chili recipe or other Mexican inspired meals .
  8. My boy , "Ace" ( one eye/one ear) flirting with his girlfriend , our neighbors cat from up the roads cat "Chickie"
  9. In an earlier chapter of my life I was the care taker / grounds keeper at a cemetery . At that time the cemetery did not have access to a back hoe to dig graves in the winter months so we stored bodies in the same storage shed we kept the ground keeping equipment in until sprig thaw and we dug the graves by hand. I got a $50.00 bonus for each grave i helped dig-it was always a 2 man operation , dig down around 4 ft. then place sheets of ply wood braced to avoid cave ins , the common belief is a grave is 6 ft deep but we dug them to 8-9 ft to accommodate the cement vault . There are alot of local legends and "ghost stories" surrounding this cemetery but i took the job anyway , never being a believer in such things and I found the work very rewarding and peaceful....and I needed a job. One winter morning I went there to get the snow plow out to clear the roads through the cemetery and found that the storage building had been broke into and a group of people had been there performing a Satanic ritual the night before. That is not my idea of a good time ! Even though I strongly dis agree in that practice and was offended on many levels , not to mention totally creeped out- I had to except the fact that there are these types of things out there. First i had to call my boss who in turned called the police , the police arrived within 10 minutes . I had to stick around for the next 4 hours with them answering their questions . Turned out this wasn't the first incident in our area either. For the next few days afterwards the cemetery was over run with concerned relatives of people buried there and curious Looky Lou's , which I thought was kind of ghoulish . One of the detectives made a disturbing comment - the act of these Satanic rituals is perfectly legal and with in their rights BUT the act of breaking/entering and desecrating a grave (yard) or human remains is a high crime. As I recall that happened in early February so it goes to show, this topic is relevant year round and not just in the month of October . After 2 years working there I came to believe I am prone to "attachments" by both good and bad energy.
  10. If you tilt your head a little to the left it does sort of look like the ghost of a 1987 Yugo though , Doesn't it ?
  11. Can this conversation be had without violating the forum rules about religion ? An honest open conversation about demonology and possession minus the trick photography and parlor tricks.
