I had a girlfriend (I know, hard to believe) who referred to it as "squished bug green". I think she hit it pretty good.

Many is the time I've wished I could just hit some interdwerb troll in the face with a shovel.

Just a typical day in the world of internet experts.

Scott, Mr. Scott: beam us up, quick!

"Hair today, gone tomorrow" said the bald bullet-headed Bond-villain-lookin' bozo.

Tortured, convoluted sentences can often be the result of a writer being in too much of a hurry to pay sufficient attention to organizing his thoughts before committing them to paper.

...all the while texting frantically about nothing.

Onomatopoeia used to be frequently written with the "o" and "e" attached, "œ" , sometimes called a typographic ligature.

Oops. Didn't get my answer in in time again. Oh well.

Chrysanthemum is often shortened to "mum" when speaking or writing, due to the difficulty and amount of time consumed by dealing with words of more than one syllable.

OMG!!! OMG!!! A political endorsement!!! OMG!!! I'm going to tell my mommy!!! But seriously...tell us the story of her name.

Want and need aren't the same thing.

EDIT: Never mind. Life is just too short to waste on stuff of zero import.

Wow, wow, wow. Gorgeous model of a very important car.

Good looking build. Inspirational too. I've wanted to do one of these for a long time, as I really like the real ones. Too bad Yotyto never sold 'em stateside.

Does half Canadian count?

Just a thought...if it's really too rough to bring back as a stocker, it's still fodder for something custom. Some of my favorite builds have been rescued throwaways, slammed, chopped, sectioned, shaved, frenched, etc.

Looks like a real fun little build.

COOL !!! Bucket-list thing right there. I haven't been back to NS since I was little, but hope to maybe next year.

Besides cars, planes, trains, and machines in general, I've had a love for all things on the water since I was a small boy. One summer on Chesapeake bay, I fell for the Skipjacks, hard-working sail-powered shallow-draft oyster dredgers. I built the little 1/60 Pyro / Lindberg plastic Skipjack way back then, but it got away over the years. I've recently acquired another one. But the one I'm really looking forward to is the 1/32 Model Shipways Willie L. Bennett, all wood, and built up plank-on-frame, just like a real one. I'm also lucky enough to have a fairly complete wooden model of the schooner Bluenose (missing her sails and needing a complete re-rigging now) that my parents bought in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, before I was born. I have a smaller-scale plastic Bluenose kit that shows most of the rigging on the instructions. I hope to use that as a reference to restore the big one, and then have a new set of sails made. The big 70+ year-old wooden model was built by one of the retired guys who'd helped build the real one at the shipyard in Lunenburg back in 1921. A working fishing boat, Bluenose was also very successful as a racer, and is one of Canada's most cherished icons. I think she was just about the prettiest thing ever to be under sail. Bluenose was destroyed after striking a reef in 1946, but the full-scale replica Bluenose II was launched in 1963.

"Law" is a concept that's rapidly being replaced by "do whatever we say on any given day, no matter how illogical or illegal it may seem...and don't ask questions".

Say what?

Great stuff...and basically explains the way a very few wizard mechanics were able to run Hilborn injection on the street too, back when everybody "knew" it was impossible.

Postings overseas give a man perspective, and the twin convictions that stupid is everywhere, and you can't fix it.

I'd bet a dollar he's a troll with a fake name hiding behind a VPN.
