  1. Huh.. I never would've thought that such a simple statement would make me giggle for so long! I must be tired. Thanks dude!
  2. Still haven't fished since Barnaby... September 14!!! Therefore.. I hate everybody!
  3. Well.. that's better than what I was thinking.. some sort of ridiculous 'toy'.
  4. There is a factory in Northern Minnesota which makes the Tickle Me Elmo toys. The toy laughs when you tickle it under the arms. Well, Lena is hired at The Tickle Me Elmo factory and she reports for her first day promptly at 8:00 AM. The next day at 8:45 AM there is a knock at the Personnel Manager's door. The Foreman throws open the door and begins to rant about the new employee. He complains that she is incredibly slow and the whole line is backing up, putting the entire production line behind schedule. The Personnel Manager decides he should see this for himself, so the 2 men march down to the factory floor. When they get there the line is so backed up that there are Tickle Me Elmo's all over the factory floor and they're really beginning to pile up. At the end of the line stands Lena surrounded by mountains of Tickle Me Elmo's. She has a roll of plush red fabric and a huge bag of small marbles. The 2 men watch in amazement as she cuts a little piece of fabric, wraps it around two marbles and begins to carefully sew the little package between Elmo's legs. The Personnel Manager bursts into laughter. After several minutes of hysterics he pulls himself together and approaches Lena. "I'm sorry," he says to her, barely able to keep a straight face, "but I think you misunderstood the instructions I gave you yesterday..." "Your job is to give Elmo two test tickles."
  5. Coming from someone with next to no experience... but likes to think he knows what he's talking about.. Roll top desks are where it's at..
  6. Funny. But you should know that I keep a big mean Rottweiler in the same room as my fly gear.. and only feed him once a month.
  7. A year and a half later.. wow, I almost forgot I posted this thread. Had to look back to see who the guy who was uttering threats Joe Dirt Style.. oh, it was this clown! Envy.. i'm sorry that my being offended by the mishandling of beautiful trout offends you. Errr, wait. No, i'm not. Feel free to PM me if you have a problem with that.
  8. I'm really digging Kate Walsh lately.. (Private Practice - "Addison"). Holy, hot 41 year old!! My wife's always like "your girlfriend is on TV".
  9. Maybe you should go back to elementary school and take Grammar again. If you finish, look up 'sarcasm' in the dictionary.
  10. There's no team in the league that I hate as much as Detroit! I was rooting for Calgary... but Kipper was weak again.
  11. Yes, you do. They're everything the look like they should be.
  12. Looks like an Alaskan Brown Bear eh? Versus a Grizzly.. Did a google search for "tumbler ridge + bear" and found one reference to this in a hunting forum.. but nothing confirming or denying.
  13. Yeah that Godard/MacIntyre fight was a beating.. I believe he got a mild concussion from that last punch. He's still wobbly in the penalty box for crying out loud!
  14. Even the crew cab Tacoma is no bigger than a 4Runner inside. Like I said, I NEED the 3rd row seating. It's not just a 'nice to have'. The trailer i'm pulling is ~3000 pounds when loaded. 4Runner can handle it okay.. Sequoia would handle it even better, Expedition would be no sweat. It'll most likely be a Sequoia or an Expedition. It's going to be our only vehicle, so we'll do everything with it. I've already looked into the fuel costs in comparison to the 4Runner. ~$440 more over the course of a year - about $36/month more, which isn't terrible. I thought about getting an old beater car for the daily driving stuff.. but registration/insurance/gas would cost me more than $440 in a year. Fuel economy would be better when towing, no question. I like the Sequoia's as well, but I don't like the fact that the Sequoia seems to be significantly under powered for the size of the vehicle. 240 horsepower is not a lot for a 5300lb. vehicle. And more importantly, for my price range I'd pretty much be forced to get a 2001 (the first year they were made) or 2002 . I can get a 2006 Expedition for the same price or less. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE TOYOTA RELIABILITY.. but at this point, i'm leaning towards the domestic. IF I had $60K to part with.. there would be no question. 2008 Sequoia (5.7L V8 making 381 horses *insert Tim Taylor grunt here*).
