Fried Chicken Erasers: Pretty much the same thing in taste and texture:

"See me, feel me, touch me, heal me" sang the Who.

Job had it kinda rough too.

The ideology that makes mediocrity a virtue, that inferiority, by some strange magic, becomes a sort of superiority. (paraphrased from H.L. Mencken...and just so we're clear, I don't agree with everything he believed.)

Good to know. The future is secure at last.

Absolutely perfect proportions and stance. You're pretty good at this.

One more time, for all those whose initial response is to denigrate anyone who criticizes any of their cherished but poorly thought out beliefs...THERE IS A PLACE FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES IN A RATIONAL TRANSPORTATION MIX. But TRYING TO FORCE EVERYONE TO COMPLY WITH A TOTAL PHASE-OUT OF ICE VEHICLES IS IDIOCY. WE ARE NOT READY. Both California and Texas, just citing two states out of 50, are currently incapable of keeping up with EXISTING DEMAND on the grid in peak circumstances. If the generating capacity isn't there NOW, what magic flock of winged rainbow-striped unicorns is going to swoop down from Lala Land and build the required upgrades in the near future?

Snopes? Really? It's not that I disagree with you...and if you'll look, I posted a little winking face after the header, which generally indicates a joke, or a tongue-in-cheek statement. But thinking Snopes is the final arbiter on anything is absurd. They've demonstrated their bias countless times, and it's often painfully obvious. They also sometimes get things dead wrong.

But think how much money you saved on gas...

Seems to be working. Had some significant lag earlier this AM, but it's OK now. 9:36 AM EST

"Useless" is often the best description of upper management personnel in both private and public sectors.

Looks great. I'll be starting a restoration of a gluebomb one of these shortly, and your build here is certainly inspiring.

Just got in a sad little Franklin Mint 1/24 '49 Ford woody. Filthy, missing a few bits, but never dropped and so cheap as to be un-pass-up-able. The model looks much better in person than in the photos. A little spit and polish, and some parts-box replacements, she'll be fine.

If you're thinking of casting copies, I'm in for one, whatever the cost.

Horsepower is something you can never have too much of, 'cause you can always throttle-back.

Only thing really jumps out at me as missing is Revell's original Stone-Woods-Cook Willys. Not an easy kit, but definitely an icon of the "gasser wars" period.

Cream, Chastain Park Amphitheater, October 28, 1968; front row seats.

Baseball would have been a more attractive career option when I was a kid if salaries way back then had been proportionate to what they are today.

You just made my day.

Things like this often turn out as ungainly messes, but you managed to pull it all together with pleasing proportions. Nice work.

The way things are going, they'll be stars at the SEMA show in not too much longer.

Years from now, it'll be interesting to look back and see how...or if...Western Civilization recovered from the looming death-spiral.

4GC is a 4 bbl. Those would most likely be 2GCs, common tri-power (3X2) carbs.

Still in ATL. Moved one 26 foot truckload to Az. last July, worked out there on the house until early November, have been back in ATL wrapping up business and packing since then. Trying to be finished moving by Christmas. We'll see.

Forum response has been intermittently slow past hour or so, and it just popped up this massage when I tried to open the "irked" thread: [[Template forums/front/topics/topic is throwing an error.
