Oh come on Harry. Two things. One, I didn't write the joke. And two, most people do consider corn a vegetable. Plus I thought it was funny and "corny." Scott

Thanks Jim. Rub it in. Scott

How about some real "corny" jokes? Q: Why didn't anybody laugh at the gardener's jokes? A: Because they were too corny! Q: How did the tomato court the corn? A: He whispered sweet nothings into her ear. Q: What did the corn say when it got complimented? A: Aww, shucks! Q: What does Chuck Norris do when he wants popcorn? A: He breathes on Nebraska! Q: What does moldy corn flakes have in common with Charles Manson? A: They are both cereal killers! Q: Why shouldn't you tell a secret on a farm? A: Because the potatoes have eyes and the corn has ears. Q: How is an ear of corn like an army? A: It has lots of kennels. Q: What do you get when a corn cob is run over by a truck? A: "Creamed" corn. Q: What do you call the best student at Corn school? A: The "A" corn. Q: What do corn use for money? A: Corn "bread." Q: What did the baby corn say to the mom corn? A: Where is my pop corn? Q: What has ears but cannot hear? A: A field of corn. Q: What did one ear of corn say to the other ear of corn? A: Don't look now but I think someone is stalking us. If corn oil come from corn, what does baby oil come from? One day two corn cobs, who are best friends, we're walking together down the street. They stepped off the curb and a speeding car came around the corner and ran one of them over. The uninjured corn cob called 911 and helped his injured friend as best he was able. The injured corn cob was taken to emergency at the hosipital and rushed into surgery. After a long and agonizing wait, the doctor finally appeared. He told the uninjured corn cob, "I have good news, and I have bad news. The good news is that your friend is going to pull through." "The bad news is that he's going to be a vegetable for the rest of his life." A guy walks into a doctor's office. A banana stuck in one of his ears, a corn cob in the other ear, and a carrot stuck in one nostril. The man says, "Doc, this is terrible. What's wrong with me?" The doctor says, "Well, first of all, you need to eat more sensibly." After a minor mathematical error on routine report, a worker's boss tried to belittle him in front of his peers. Angrily she asked, "If you had 4 corn cobs and I asked for one, how many would you have left?" Quickly he replied, "If it was you who asked, I'd still have 4 corn cobs." Okay I'm sorry for that. I got these jokes off of jokes4us.com. They are bad. And there are more waiting on their site. Scott

Hey! Copy cat! It can't nice down there, if it's nice up here. Can it? Doesn't seem right. Presently the temps here are in the upper 60's. For late October this is great. Normally around this time of the year, I'd be wishing I had the money to retire, and spend my winters in Arizona. Those thoughts maybe delayed a month or two the way this fall is going. But, being this is Minnesnowa, the hell will come. Late January, early February it will be so cold the windows will be frozen shut (hopefully). And Russin Roulette will be looking like a game that might just be fun. Isn't that a cheery note? Back to the here and now. Back to living in Paradise. Scott

Very kool! I like it. Scott

Very kool! I always loved Rat Fink. Great job on the painting. Scott

Looks kool. Scott

Greg, what did you post above? I could not get it to down load. Scott

I still think the rise of 4-doors in general, is partially because of things like car seats for kids. It's a pain to install both the seat and the kid in the backseat of a 2-door car. When car seats became a requirement for carrying young children, fewer people bought 2-doors. And there are a lot of guys in the hobby now days taking their kids or grandkids with them in their collector car. 4-doors makes that a lot easier. In the old days when I was a kid, and we weren't buckled up, much less in a car seats. People like my parents bought 2-door cars back then because they felt their kids were safer with only 2 front doors. No back doors for the kids to play around with and/or to fall out of the car with. Scott

I'm happy with what Round 2 is doing with all of their model brands. I love most of the old kits they've reissued so far. Especially those released under the AMT and MPC labels. Scott

It's October 23rd in Minnesota, and it's warm enough to open some windows around the house, letting in the fresh warm air. This is almost heaven! Scott

That's cool. I like it. Scott

By the way, the Automotive Acronyms I posted above, I forgot to mention that I got them out of a great book called "Car Crazy"' by Dean D. Dauphinois and Peter M. Gareffa. I don't know if the book is still available or not. It was published almost 20 years ago. In 1996 by Visible Ink Press. It's a fun book with a lots great automotive trivia in it. And here is another humours one I'd like to share. It's titled Excu-u-u-u-u-se Me! "Actual excuses for auto accidents, taken from insurance-company records:" "Coming home I drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I don't have." "The other car collided with mine without giving warnings of its intentions." "I thought the window was down, but I found out it was up, when I put my head through it." "I collided with a stationary truck coming the other way." "A truck backed through my windshield into my wife's face." "A pedestrian hit me and went under my car." "The guy was all over the road. I had to swerve several times before I hit him." "I pulled away from the side of the road, glanced at my mother-in-law, and headed over the embankment." "In an attempt to kill a fly, I drove into a telephone pole." "As I reached an intersection, a hedge sprang up, obscuring my vision, and I did not see the other car." "I had been driving for 40 years when I fell asleep at the wheel and had an accident." "I was on my way to the doctor with rear-end trouble when my universal joint gave way causing me to have an accident." "As I approached the intersection, a sign suddenly appeared in a place no stop sign had ever appeared before." "To avoid hitting the bumper of the car in front, I struck the pedestrian." "The indirect cause of the accident was a little guy in a small car with a big mouth." "I was sure the old fellow would never make it to the other side of the road when I struck him." "I was thrown from my car as it left the road. I was later found in a ditch by some stray cows." "The telephone pole was approaching. I was attempting to swerve out of its way, when it struck the front end." "I saw a slow-moving, sad-faced old gentleman as he bounced off the roof of my car." - Scott

I love these year by year kit reviews. Always fun to see what was available and how these kits evolved. Scott

Now that's funny! Scott

Is the Pontiac one your referring to is this one? Pontiacs: Poor Old Norwegian Thinks It's A Cadillac Well as half Norwegian, I'm only half offended by your racists thoughts. To offend the other, Finnish half, you can mention that Chevy Impalas are considered by Finnish Americans as a Finlander's Cadillac. Oh great! Now I've offended myself, by tell you how to offend me, by telling these two jokes. I'm going to take this one step farther. Growing up, my Norwegian born mother, who met and married my father (100% of Finnish decent) in Duluth, MN. Claimed that back like 100 years ago, Superior, WI across the bay from Duluth had signs on the beaches that read, "No Dogs, Finns (people of Finnish decent), or Indians (Native Americans/First Nation people) allowed on the beaches." Which is rather odd considering the number of Finns and Native Americans living in and around the "Twin Ports" at that time and now. Plus, she wasn't living there during that time. But, things being a little different 100 years ago, she might have been right. Either way, the idea of this sign always hit right with my warped sense of humor somehow. A little over 10 years ago my youngest sister married a wonderful guy, who happens to be Native American. He and my sister then bought a lake cabin. Which got me thinking. So, I asked my brother in law, Rich, if he would be offended if I someday had a sign made for their cabin that said the above. Well, Rich has a good sense of humour and understands my warped one. So he gave me his blessing. Two years ago I found a sign maker at a sports show in Superior, WI out of all places, who made me such a sign. There was only one problem I could see with the sign. Sure Rich is an "Indian." And my sister Michelle is half Finn. But, they do not own a dog. Rich said that was okay. The neighboring cabin has dogs that like to come over and visit their place when they're there. By the way, I did not ask my sister if she would be offended by the sign. With her I didn't care. But I didn't want to offend Rich, because I like him. Scott

At least this one is a little bit easier to read. I'm amazed this guy is on eBay with racist comments like he wrote in this one. Or the foul language. Scott

A month or two ago, Cadillac announced they would have this feature available on productions models in two years. I'm a little leery of it. But in this litigious society we live in, it must work. Else they wouldn't be putting it out on the market. Scott

I've always like 4-doors. Especially pre-war 4-door convertibles, and post-war 4-door hardtops. Scott

That is one of the classic "where is gas cap" scene from a movie. Scott

Okay as I was posting the above, Bill dropped in the second photo. That one convinces me it's real. And I bet by looking at the lower photos, it is a modified Austin. Scott

But, what is it? And is it real? The more I look at the photo now, the more doubts I'm beginning to have too. Scott

By the way, do cows squirt milk through their noses when they laugh?

Why thank you. I think? Scott
