Time to Change Your Snark Plugs

[Noswad0208]

How is it you youngsters are so knowledgeable in the ways of the world? Better move out of your house now while you still know everything. And we northeasterners invented maple syrup, so we know a thing or two about wringing out the squirrels that fall into the sap buckets. I can handle your southern doughnuts. Send them. NOW.

Just messing with you, don't get grumpy you old coot. Y'all might have invented it, but we perfected it. We put lids on our buckets so the squirrels can't fall in.

Woohoooo!!

Dryer is back up and running. Belt was not even broken, just knocked out of place. Took all of 10 minutes to get it back on, running, and put together.

Bad part about this is i already told the wife... So i already had to deal with her "you did what?" look... The good thing is its fixed and didnt cost a dime, and now i know how to fix a dryer belt LOL

Thanks fellas for steering me in the right direction.

Yeah... If it's old it might be stretched a bit... Like a car's fanbelt. It might do it again. If it does, replace it. They're not expensive.

Wait...so does that mean if you want a number over 1000, you cannot get it? Serious question.

That is correct. This ain't Walmart. It's a thinly veiled dictatorship, and tradewater is really in charge.

 

[Noswad0208]

But you're still not getting my doughnuts.

 

[Guyon]

Wait. Y'all don't lick the squirrels? What a waste.

We lick them, but we make lolipops of their eyeballs first.

Hubris. Squirrels are idiots. They fall in when they burrow under the lids. But we have invented the lidless sap collection system now with our superior maple sap technology which pretty much vacuums the sap right out of the trees in a web of polyethylene tubing. Now it's just a trip hazard for unsuspecting humans.

And Gunyon - you lick frogs, not squirrels. You don't really even get syrup until you boil the sap down, and boiling the squirrels ruins the taste. Better to wring them out and fry their little backstraps.

We have polyethylene tubing too, but most of the big maple places hang out buckets for show, and some pay people to hang buckets and collect the sap.

Bah, y'all don't know good maple doughnuts. I'm talkin' Highland County Maple Festival doughnuts, made by hand, using fresh maple syrup that just got boiled down within the last couple of weeks.

Your maple doughnuts need a side of bacon.

Here's some REAL maple doughnuts..

They are still lacking bacon

These are so good that you can't eat them with bacon, you have to eat them and then bacon on the side.

Don't worry guys...I'm here to help. See, being a true donut connoisseur, I know that a real donut isn't some fluffed air, soaked in oil, really light creation covered with some ridiculous glaze that flakes off in your hands. Real donuts are of the cake variety. No cheese puffs here. After the cake donut, you top it with a maple icing that is then topped with applewood smoked bacon.

Anything less is just an imitation...

The bacon looks great, the rest looks disgusting.

See, that's just because you're used to having to eat 12 puffed air flaky glazed donuts instead of just eating one piece of heaven. I understand.

Where's Gus? We need a Canadian voice of reason here.

No, I'm used to eating 12 heavy, delicious, gooey, creamy doughnuts and nearly dying from bloating instead of eating just one and swearing never to do it again.

Yet it happens over and over huh?!

Do you have a photo of one of those "heavy" donuts cut in half?

I've been here the entire time saying it needed bacon! Take me off ignore

Oh wait, you said "voice of reason"....that counts me out

Where IS Gus? We have beers that need drinking! Hope he is feeling better. Last I talked to him he had one hell of a sinus infection.

If you use mesquite wood to smoke 'em.

I kinda figured. The overlords ain't gonna be overlords for long...

I'm going to go cry in a corner and try to get those images out of my mind.

Don't bother. Just let the sadness wash over you like a warm [redacted because it's too horrible to mention]

membership is now closed

Promises, promises.

Starting to look into light/laser combos for my pistol. Anyone got thoughts or suggestions?

Personally, I would get just a light and run lasergrips if they make them for your gun. Makes it much easier to work them independently. Also puts the laser closer to the bore axis which keeps the POA/POI closer together at various ranges. Though I haven't actually researched how critical that really is in this context.

Wait...so does that mean if you want a number over 1000, you cannot get it? Serious question.

Just recruit a few hundred more members and we'll be able to.

You are my new hero.

You are my new hero.

I can send you some, but I need some help...when I apply to get a Beckerhead number, and if I'm so graciously accepted, I need it to be over 1000.

hmmm...I may have to do that research and then verify the facts with my checkbook.



GSOM - great Terry Pratchett quotes in your sig. A loss to the world indeed.
