    I've noticed a trend...

    That whenever Liberal Democrats are confronted with an issue that they have no answers for, the general tone is that of talking down to the questioner and generally trying to insult the same. Wow! If that doesn't tell you who these people really are, I don't know what doesn't. At least I can...

    Boy, that didn't take long

    Less than a week ago, Katrina made landfall and devastated the LA and MS coast. Everyone here was shoulder to shoulder, helping each other and hoping for the best. It was good while it lasted, wasn't it? Carry on with the finger pointing and political b*tching...

    Brits driving Austrians bonkers over rude village name

    This is way too funny, I had to post this. Sorry about the long link. <br /><br /> http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20050828/wl_uk_afp/britainaustriaoffbeat;_ylt=AuTK9bI_jsBxdjRUOcPMo7sDW7oF;_ylu=X3oDMTBiMW04NW9mBHNlYwMlJVRPUCUl

    Do you play?

    I've been playing soccer for as long as I can remember and I learned from an early age how to play dirty. Does anyone else here play softball, baseball, football, lacrosse, rugby, etc. and have similar experiences? I play pick-up games now and then and it's a hard habit to get rid of...

    Runabout Renovation, by Jim Anderson

    Ordered it two weeks ago, picked it up yesterday and finished reading it this morning. GREAT book! I'll be honest, I was a touch trepidatious about the whole project but no more. Mr. Anderson lays everything on the line and tells you how to take care of business. I highly recommend it to anyone...

    Big day coming up for the Squall King

    I figured I'd start a new thread because the old "Can it get any worse" title seems to be an omen of bad luck and I want to keep it positive and the permanent thread for the refurbishment, I hope y'all don't mind! :D . The first weekend of August we're taking up the deck and removing the...

    Wanna see the ISS and Discovery?

    During dawn or dusk it's possible to see the ISS pass overhead depending on where you are and whether or not you have a clear sky. When the Discovery is docked, it will appear MUCH brighter and looks like a brilliant pinpoint of light rapidly crossing the sky. Here's the link, just follow the...

    Ripped off

    To make a long story short, my '89 Grand Am broke down a few years back and I called AAA. Alum Creek Towing showed up and the driver talked me into taking my car to the shop so they could fix it. I'll admit right now that I'm a blithering idiot when it comes to anything mechanical. Anywho, I...

    Just got a lot better!!!

    Got back from Cleveland about half an hour ago and we have a signed title in hand! WOO HOO! We met the crook and he was actually a really nice guy (for a crook.) All is smooth sailing from here! Now we just need to buy about a thousand sanding pads and get to work on the hull.

    Hi, my name is Erik...

    I figured this would be a good place to formally introduce myself. What better way than to tell everyone how dumb I am. I was invited to spend a long weekend with my buddy's family and some friends on lake Cumberland. We were set for a great time. 60' rented houseboat, 22' Four Winns open bow...

    Rotting Transom

    I'm really pissed. The damn hillbillies that butchered the boat the first time evidently recognized that the transom was in trouble. Did they replace it? No, they just bolted an extra 2x10 on and drilled through the rotted wood for the engine mount. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

    Can it get any worse?

    Just when everything was smelling like roses. My buddy and I went down to the Division of Watercraft today to do a title search and here's what the DNR guy came up with: The boat and engine are titled to two different people in Cleveland. We're having a hard time finding their phone numbers but...
