    bigbad4cyl got me in trouble

    I may have just received my first poof, but I need two clarifications. It's important because I was kinda proud of my virgin status.<br /><br />1) Am I a true poofedee if I didn't start the thread, and the whole thread got zapped? It may be important to note that my post was gone maybe 10 - 20...

    iboats spellchecker

    You all need to try Google's new toolbar. Relax, I don't work for them. Anyway, just downloaded it a couple of hours ago and it will spellcheck anything that you type on an on-line form. Works well so far.<br /><br />BTW, I almost had a typo in this post. How stupid would that have been? :eek:

    Congressional Black Caucus (blatant troll)

    I have been chuckling to myself about something that I feel the need to share.<br /><br />If Condoleezza Rice ends up running in 2008 against Hillary (or any other Democrat) won't the entire Congressional Black Caucus be in the position of campaigning against a Black presidential candidate...

    Dunaruna, I just went to St Kilda

    I promised that the next time I was down under I would give you some notice. Well I am babysitting my new boss (a POM) and he didn't give me any notice, so I thought I would just quietly sneak in and out and nobody would be the wiser. We spent the day walking around Melbourne and ended up at...

    Are you really a liberal?

    First, this is not a troll. I would much prefer that this thread fostered some intelligent responses, not hate mail . . . I enjoy good debate and good discussion. That to me is what Dockside Chat is all about.<br /><br />I have always called myself a "radical middle of the roader". Fact is...

    Take a look at this Dorado

    A good friend caught this fish last week east of Cabo San Lucas. Place called Rancho Leonero. The friend (in the picture) is 6'4" and around 280 lbs. to give you an idea as to this fishes size.<br /><br />

    What words do(es) your dog(s) know?

    Our labs know a variety of words and it is NOT all tone of voice.<br /><br />Our male (Bear) knows bowl, ball, bye bye, toy, treat, eat, potty, coyote, bunny, Molly (girlfriend) and our kid's names plus the F word . . . frisbee. We actually call it "F" as it is just not fair unless you plan to...

    Wild horses couldn't . . .

    be at our lake!!! Could they?<br /><br />Pictures from this last weekend at Lake Mead. First for us, we've seen Burros and Bighorn Sheep, but we had no idea these were there. I have checked since and they are indeed "Mustangs"; they were just too perfect, looked like they had just been...

    Anybody else having recent troubles with image hosting?

    Yesterday it was my avatar that disappeared. It was hosted at imagehosting.com, I switched to imagehosting.us and all better. I see today that they are back up and requiring registration, so I guess that explains that.<br /><br />Then today a pic I had hosted on tinypics.com went bye bye...

    Impedance and speakers

    I am buying my son some newer (for him) bass guitar equipment. He has outgrown his existing rig. The amp that I bought is capable of putting out 300W at 4 Ohms. I already have a cabinet capable of handling 400W at 8 Ohms which should work well, but I want to add another cabinet too. I'm...

    Wireless home network and printers

    I have 5 computers in the house and already have a decent Netgear wireless router thing. Two of the five are hard wired to the router and the other three are connected via Wireless B and G. I get good reception. My question is about adding printers, I have two, with both hard wired to two...

    Attempted Kidnapping, local 8 year old escapes

    On Tuesday evening here, in my usually very safe neighborhood, an 8 year old girl was riding Razors with her 12 year old sister. A low-life, scumbag, SOB (please enter extremely derogatory and profane term of choice here) grabbed the 8 year old (Zoe) and threw her in his van. This van had...

    Anchor problem - video

    I'm sure some of you have seen this before, but I've been laughing about it for years and just remembered I had it.<br /><br /> http://www.zippyvideos.com/162039070618115.html

    Big bucks and Good Ole competition

    This blows my mind. I don't know if it is true, but comes from a reasonably reliable source. Just remember these engines develop over 700 bhp, how they end up within one bhp is amazing.<br /><br />NASCAR Takes Engines to Examine UPDATE 2: Speed Channel's Bob Dilner reported on Speed News...

    I am heading to England on Sunday and going to miss the 4th this year, so I thought I'd do my own little fireworks display a little early.<br /><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><br />Happy 4th of July to all of you. :D

    Another tragedy - disturbing!!

    This one has been hanging with me for over a week. Didn't want to post at first, but with the Swimming Around the Boat thread and the housebout tragedy, felt I needed to. We were near here and know that area well, so it was a little too close to home for us. Obviously someone made a huge...

    Gang O' Iboats,<br /><br />I have been struggling with something that I need some help noodlin' on. Bought a new for me 2001 Bowrider last year. 23' 6.2 Bravo 1. It has twin 27 gallon tanks mounted under the gunnels. It had a fuel tank valve on it that was for either the port or starboard...

    Digital camera got wet

    I took a wave over the bow yesterday (freshwater) and the only victim appears to be my Kodak DX6490. I got a blow dryer on it pretty quickly (low) and there is no evidence of water now. Absolutely nothing happens when I try to power up. I have been to the Kodak site and the only solution they...
