Okay? Can you explain it?

In the next few days, I'll tell you the story of three legged pig. Scott

Every day this guy drives by a chicken farm on his way to work. One morning as he's driving by, there is a three legged chicken standing in the driveway. As he passes it, it comes out on to the road and starts pacing his car. He looks down at his speedometer and sees that he is doing 30 mph. He thinks wow! 30 mph is pretty fast for a chicken. Even one with three legs. He decides to get away from the chicken and speeds his car up to 45 mph. He looks over. And the chicken spead up to match his speed at 45 mph. So he bumps his car up to 60 mph. And guess what? He looks over and that three legged chicken is doing 60 mph! So he pushes his car up to 75 mph. There's that chicken doing 75, and not even breaking a sweet. Finally the chicken gets bored and takes off, leaving the guy in his dust. The next morning, as the guys driving to work, again there's that chicken waiting for him. He's do 30 mph. The three legged chicken does 30 mph. He push his car up to 45 mph. The chicken does 45 mph. 60. The chicken does 60. Finally at 75, the chicken paces him for a while. Gets bored and takes off. The third day, again the three legged chicken is waiting for him. They go though the whole routine they went through the two days before. Well, the guy is amazed and curious, and decides he wants to find out what deal is with this three legged chicken. So, he turns the car around and goes back to farm. He finds the farmer and asks him what's the deal with this three legged chicken? The farmer says, "You've got to understand I have ten kids and they all like dark meat. So, we started raising three legged chickens for more dark meat. The guy then asks, "Oh yea. How do they taste? The farmer says, "I don't know. We can't catch one! Scott

I have a variation on Harry's penguin joke. A guy has got a truck load of penguins he has to get to a zoo. Several miles before he gets there, his truck breaks down. Along comes Ole, who pulls over to see if he can help. The guy says, "Yeh, it's going to be several hours before a tow truck can get here, and I really need to get these penguins to the zoo. I tell you what, I'll give $50 if you'll take the penguins to the zoo for me." Ole agrees. They load the penguins into his car. The guy gives him $50. And off goes Ole and the car load of penguins to the zoo. Several hours later, the guy is still waiting for the tow truck. He looks off in the direction of the zoo, and sees Ole coming back, with his car still stuffed with the penguins. He flags Ole down. "Why didn't you take the penguins to the zoo like I asked?" Ole says, "I did take the penguins to the zoo. We had such a good time. And I still have money left over from that $50 you gave me. So now I'm taking them out for some ice cream. Scott

I'm sorry. I don't get this one? Scott

The more I see and hear here. The more excited I'm getting about this kit. It's looking better and better to me. I can't wait for it to hit market along with the Ford pickup. Now I'm concerned with how accurate the Johnny Quest Dragonfly will be! Good luck on that one Dave, since the plane did not appear the same in every episode. I hope nobody seriously complains about that one. Scott

I want the Kat from AMT statue! Scott

Wow! Impressive! Scott

Today I got AMT's Hindenberg kit. I've always wanted one. I'm very glad they decided to reissue it. Scott

You better start carrying candy on you James. Because when we find you, we're going to have to hang you upside down, and beat you with a big stick. Just like a piñata. And you know when you hit a piñata you normally get candy out of it. Oh, and don't forget. Besides the candy, have the rope and big stick handy, so we don't have to go searching for that. Scott

Tom Daniel kits. The Red Baron, S'cool Bus. Rommel's Rod. Beer Wagon. Street Fighter. Poison Pinto. Mean Maverick. Ice "T". And Cherry Bomb. Scott

I have seen snow in the mountains of Arizona one year, around Show Low, well before we got snow here in Minnesota. Scott

I hope I don't offend anybody with this following joke. It's about Jesus and Moses. But, it's not a put down of either of them or religion. It's just a cute joke. One day in heaven, Jesus and Moses are a little bored. So they decide to come down to earth to play a little golf. They get to first tee, and Jesus is going to go first. He pulls a club out his bag. Moses stops him, and says, "Jesus if you use that particular club on this hole. Your going to put your ball down in the sand trap." Jesus turns to Moses and says, "Moses I've seen Arnold Palmer use this club on this hole on TV. If Arnold Palmer can do it with this club, so can I." Well he hits the ball, and as Moses predicted it lands in the sand trap. Second tee. Again Jesus is going first. He pulls a club out of his bag. Moses again stops him. "Jesus if you use that club on this hole, you'll slice off into the ruff. Again, Jesus turns to Moses and says, "Moses, I've seen Arnold Palmer do this hole with this club on TV. If Arnie can do it, so can I." He hits the ball. Right into the ruff like Moses warned. Well this goes on. Hole after hole. Jesus picks a club. Moses warns him that using that club will put him into what ever hazard is on that particular fairway. And Jesus always turns to Moses, telling him he's seen Arnold Palmer do that hole with that club on TV. And if Arnie can do it, so can I. And every time he ends up putting his ball into that fairways hazard. Finally they get to 18th fairway. Jesus is again going first. He pulls a club out of bag. And again Moses stops him. "Jesus if you use that club here. You'll put your ball down in the lake." Jesus turns to Moses, "If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times. I've seen Arnold Palmer use this particular club on this hole on TV. If Arnie can do it with this club, so can I." Well he hits the ball, and it lands in the water. Now being Jesus, rather than walking into the lake to get his ball, he naturally walks on top of the water. There are two others golfers who see this, and one turns to Moses and says, "Who does that guy think he is? Jesus or something? Moses turns back to the guy and says, "No he think he's Arnold Palmer!" Again I hope this did not offend anybody. That was not my intention. I told this joke to some high schoolers a couple of years ago. They didn't get it at first because they didn't know who Arnold Palmer was. So for them, I had to change the story to using Tiger Woods instead. Then they thought it was funny. Scott

I forgot to mention AMT's '57 Thunderbird. One of my earliest loves, along with the '63 Vette, in model building. I thing every one I ever built, I painted light blue. With a light blue interior and white top. I also like leaving the engine chromed in that one. Scott

Some people can be so mean! Sure, rub it in. Scott

Dave is right about focal lengths of lens changing things. It my younger days, before college I worked for two different local camera shops. First Brown Photo. Then West Photo. I sold everything from Kodak Instamatics to Hasselblads. A lots of Nikon F-3s. The favorite 35mm camera of professional photographers at the time. Look at the difference in length, in the photo everybody's been using for comparison, of the model's two rear fenders. This photo was taken with a fairly wide angle lens. This type of lens will give a distorted image. I think Dave's photo comparison between the two Pontiac models is much better for passing true judgements on the new kit. And sorry to say Dave...... Just kidding, Dave I think it looks great. Scott

Okay, who is "Whoopie cat"? And how do I contact him (/her/it/them)? Scott

I agree. I still waiting for any laugh. Much less a good one. Scott

Okay, you guys convinced me. I went to eBay to find a Piranha drag car. The lowest price I found, on buy it now, was $19.99, plus $7.85 for shipping. Despite the price, I decided to buy it. By the way, what are the decal like with this kit? Are they similar to originals? And is body molded in clear, like early versions of the kit were? The trailer for me is no problem. I have a Fireball 500 in my collection. Though, in real life I would not use the other Piranha as a tow car. So I will not use it when it comes out, as a tow car either. Scott

You say it's not perfect? It looks pretty good to me. What is perfect, by the way? Scott

Furnace filters! I keep forgetting to pick those up. I'm surprised my furnace can ever warm up the house with as bad as the one in there now has to be. Scott

I like it! That is very cool. Scott

Three guys are sitting in a bar a couple of years after World War II. They start talking about buying their wives new cars. The first guys says, "I'm going to buy my wife a Kaiser and surprise her." The second guys says, "I'm going to buy my wife a Frazer and amaze her. The third guy says, " I'm going to buying my wife a Tucker. So f........." Need less to say you can finish that last part yourself. Still, I've always liked this joke. Scott

I've always thought, from the first time I saw the Ford Flex, it needed a wood grained "Country Squire" option package. It's ugly. But, I think it would sell. Ford is missing the boat on this one. Scott

I'd like to see a '57 Del Rio Ranch Wagon and Ranchero, plus a '58. Use to think the '58 Fords were ugly. Somehow, they've grown on me over years. But, the same has been said about me. That I'm an ugly '58 model, that grows on people after a while. Scott
