LOL no worries, the car is fine. I gave it a 200 km/h test on the way home. :D
-
Oh yeah? I saw what has happened...
Anyone cares to shoot me a personal email with a request for a details?.. only $10.15 a question....
All income will be donated for good cause.

I always enjoy those guest speakers. Remember Gabreski at the 2000 WB con in NC? What a blinder of an address he gave! A lot of what he said was also in his book that I bought.
I'll hold off buying Hornbeck's book just now from that weblink because we might get a chance to buy an autographed one at the con.
-
I rode in funked's car. I am secure in my masculinity.
Sooo... How many guys are going now?
lazs
-
Quite a few guys are going... SOB too.
MiniD
-
well... I'll be there. My son will be there too. he doesn't play but he wants to check it out. Will you be there deja? would be cool to see if my mental picture of you is even close.
lazs
-
You're scaring me lazs. Hopefully this mental picturing isn't happening while you're alone in bed with one hand under the sheets.
I'll be there. I'm driving down on Thursday and staying through Tuesday. I'm gonna be rooming with Pongo and SOB (giving SOB a ride down there).
-
LOL MiniD & Lazs! You guys... :lol
MiniD - are you coming down I-5? Remember, once you've crossed the state line, you'll be able to get SOB to get out to pump your gas. :D
Sorry, sorry - last time for that joke before we meet! ;)
-
Pongo? Now there's a guy I really always have wanted to meet.
San Jose is the closest airport? Hmmm.. ya never know; I'd get a chance to see Beet1e's very own vegetable too...
Maybe I should check the flights......................
-
Guys who fly for free piss me off.

LOL, the sad thing is that it's kind of a novelty to be able to pump your own gas. The only time you ever touch the pump in Oregon is when you're standing around waiting and they're helping everyone but you. Reach for that nozzle and pull it away from the pump and suddenly you have a swat team of gas attendants swarming your position! :D

DO IT TOAD :D

I've already told you - you're coming! You were undecided, so we decided for you. :D
BTW, a tomato is a fruit, not a vegetable. :D Shall you be bringing Mrs. Toad?
We thought of you today - walking past a house in the country when a ferocious dog-barking could be heard. Thought we were about to be attacked by a Rottweiler. Turned out to be a chocolate labrador - friendliest dog you could imagine.

I knew beforehand that a tomahto is a fruit. But I didn't wish to refer to her as your "fruit", especially since 90% of our dear readers are probably unaware of the toMAHto's true category.

ROFL! :rofl
Yes, tomahto not tomayto!
And with that, I'm retiring for the evening.
Toodle-Pip!
;)

So, you gonna make it old man? (yeah, that means you Toad :p)
-
deja... there is nothing wrong with picturing a bitter, prune faced fat guy while lying in bed if you are secure in your masculinity... After riding in funked's car I feel very secure.. I would even be seen in a mini cooper... well... that may be an exageration but...
You will drive right by my house deja... you better stop. don't piss me off fat boy!
Toad.... yeah! do it.
lazs
-
E-mail me your adress and directions lazs. Myself and the other slice of bread would be happy to pay you a visit.
MiniD

Why is Mini getting his own con?
-
well... deja.. I will see you at the con right? I can give you the 3 block, 2 turn directions from the freeway then. Yeah... bring the other fat guy too. I'll take the day off and order a dozen pizzas for you guys.

It's the AH con version of the "Special Olympics". The name seemed to fit better than most.

What's better than winning a medal at the Special Olympics?
Not being retarded
:p

It's doubtful.
I got more irons in the fire this week than a cattle rustler.
But, I'll give it another look after Wed. The should have a decent part of the stolen herd rebranded by then.

That's OK, the con isn't until next week.
