New England Off Topic and Banter as Most Brilliantly Proposed by Cape Cod MINI

[holdenontoit]

Alice B Toklas was a "special" recipe for the brownies that leigh tayler Young baked up that were later devoured by Peter Sellers and his intended and her parents, in what was for me a memorable stoning of some very straight people- Hilarious!( remember there was a reference earlier to some brownies?)

Never heard of 'em.
We were lucky today...Julian sent me to his buddy Ron Barrett to tow it. Very nice guy. Repeatedly made comments about how he doesn't like being in the city and had to get out of here...hah. Towing charge for him to drive from newberryport down to boston and tow out to gloucester on a nice flatbed was only $125. I'll be recommending him that's for sure.
Anyway I was worried that he would get lost in one of the worst sections of boston, but I just happenned to pull right next to him on 93S on the way there.
Now it's in Lee's hands. I did a search and found some others recommending him as well in other forums ("good work cheap"). And hey, he seems to be website-less as well Maybe he will barter...

Don't bother. Surely 3M's built up an immunity to most chemicals by now.

That's way more effort than I'm willing to put into this. But don't worry, your calzone is on its way.

Next time make them at my place, just use the tap water, I got enough crap in there to kill an army of people. We are supposed to go on city water soon. If I can ever find my report from the company that did the testing it is a good laugh. Arsenic, radon, radium, heavy elements, MBTE, and uranium are just a few of the things found the wells outside my condo, and all above state or federal limits....and just think I bathe, wash clothing and dishes in that stuff...

What the water part or the bathing part?

We wonder about you more every day. This is a guy who blew out his knee bowling, broke up his parents' wedding anniversary evening to pick him up at the ER, and every day he drinks and bathes in water laced with gasoline additives and heavy metals. You're not in the 3M category yet, but you're getting closer. Much closer.

PS I'm assuming you bathe every day, right? Because normally I'd recommend that, but, with that water you've got, maybe you might wanna hold off...

I figured I would be in my own category as 3M and myself are unique...thank god to that...

As for the bathing, yes every day, until my skin falls off, turns a different color, or turns translucent...

Geez... I go away for a day and you people just let that statement sit there?

Fun day at the track, even though I got passed much more often than I passed other people.

I got a scary fast ride in an instructor's spec Miata (a race prepared Miata with the same horsepower as my Cooper).

Video forthcoming...

1) Too late, Secco (I think) claimed them.
2) Yesterday was Monday. Do you not have a job?

At the strack events at NHIS, there is frequently a guy who takes very good pictures and then sells them to the participants as either high quality JPG images or prints.

So, which (if any) of the following do you think I should spend some money on?

The high-res images are very good and do not contain that watermark / logo...

Forgive me father for I have sinned...it has been weeks since I posted on this forum.

That said...I'll vote on the photos.
I think #3, & #4 are best. I like #4 a bit better than #6 because it seems more dramatic coming straight at you and you are in the lead over a Miata Also like the fact that the barriers are in the photo. I like #3 as a single shot because it gives the sense of action and that you are going at some speed. Just my .02.

[holdenontoit]

I like #13 because you are ahead of the other car that is going in reverse......... :~)

[jwardell]

My favorite is #4 because you are beating a miata despite 3 people, #3 is the best for the car and driver by themself.

[MetalMiniMayhem]

not to change the topic in an OT thread, but... ever have one of those really F-ed up dreams you just can't explain, but for some reason you spend all day either A) cracking up about it B) pondering it or.. C)Disturbed by it...?

I've been cracking up all day because I had the funniest damn dream.... not even gonna go into detail.. you'll al just think I'mmore twisted than I already am...

[MetalMiniMayhem]

oh.. BTW.. this one is for my friend Jeff... he loves to catch other people's spelling errors.. this is for you, buddy!
