Yeah, that whole "dopey unshaven guy who can't do anything right" line of advertising has always seemed odd to me. Superbowl ad update: Clint Eastwood has made an official statement regarding that "controversial" ad he did for Chrysler. Clint said (as most of us already knew) that he is not an Obama supporter, and that the ad was not meant to be some sort of pro-Obama spot, or even political at all. In fact, he opposed the auto bailouts! According to Clint, the ad was supposed to be just what it looks to be if you don't overanalyze and read things into it: a pro-America, "let's all work together and get this thing up and running again" theme. The "halftime" reference was obviously a football reference, not a reference to the "halftime" between Obama terms. And he donated every penny he was paid for the ad to charity. Classy guy.

One year??? That's mighty generous of you, pard... (that's "Texas Talk!")

Send the person a note, tell them you have other people interested, and tell them if they don't respond within a day you will asume they are no longer interested and you'll move on to the other guy. You've waited WAY too long already. I would have sent out that message after a week or two.

All you have to do is test the paint on some scrap plastic. Simple!

Careful so you don't fall over...

And how, exactly, does this have anything to do with the "Under Glass" section, which is where you posted it???

Just in case any of you guys don't know it, that is a real car! I mean real, as in it was actually made by a company and not by some deranged guy with no taste in his back yard! http://www.diseno-art.com/encyclopedia/strange_vehicles/mohs_ostentatienne_opera_sedan.html

Have you ever gone to a dollar store and looked at the toys? Some of the wording on those packages is hilarious! There is definitely something getting lost in the translation!

I'll give you that one, Cliff! You and I disagree on football vs. rugby, but I agree that calling the Superbowl a "world" championship when only one country is involved in this "world" championship is pretty lame. (No Canadian teams in our NFL... they have their own league, CFL, and their "Superbowl" is the Grey Cup. A few players have played in both the CFL and the NFL, but so far no crossover of teams). Same for our baseball "world series," only two countries (USA and Canada) have major league baseball teams. Not much of a "world" series. American/Canadian football is becoming more popluar abroad, though. Maybe not down under, but in England it has a fairly loyal following. In fact, the NFL plays one game per season in London at Wembley.

I agree... Clint Eastwood is about as independent a thinker as you're going to see among the Hollywood set. If he actually thought the Chrysler ad was nothing but a thinly-disguised Obama campaign spot, I seriously doubt he would have done it. You can read anything you want into the ad... there's more than one way to interpret it. But I would feel pretty safe betting that Clint is no Obama pitchman. BTW... he donated all the money he was paid for that spot to charity. Very classy.

I've had packages left unannounced at my front door by both UPS and USPS. I tend to come and go through my garage (it's attached to the house) and not by the front door. There have been times where I have found a package laying by my front door, completely soaked from rain... probably had been laying there for days! I had no idea they were even there!

Sorry, Cliff, but there's no way you're going to get us Americans to drop football and suddenly become rugby fans, any more than you and your guys would suddenly become NFL fans. To each his own...

And there ya go, Cranky. Back to you...

HAH! Joke's on you, smarty pants. It's an EXT, not an ES.

Sorry we got your thread so far off track, Cranky. Shane and I will lift it back on the rails. Ready Shane? On three. One... Two... THREE!

Hey now... no politics!

This forum, no doubt.

You are also a fun guy! Duuuuuuude! Maybe I can start charging you an "amusement tax?"

Well, see now, you can be a fun guy! Dude! Next thing ya know we'll see you posting in the "Favorite Songs" thread!

I guess these days what they use is basically harmless. Progress, ya know? My guess is the actual paint itself is way more harmful than the propellant!

Yes I did. Call me crazy. Or better yet, call me biased and unfair. You wouldn't be the first.

You got it, dude. Duuuuuuuuuuude!

Come on, Mike. You know exactly what I mean... It's bad enough that I have to play these silly word games with some people in the name of "moderating" this place. Do you really have to jump in on that, too?

Actually that was for Andy's benefit. He thought CO2 was what was used as propellant, I was trying to let him know he was wrong. Wasn't meant as an answer to any of your posts.
