That is...quite awesome, Uncle Jeremy!
Done this many times, ages ago. Have to remember that one for April fool's day. Like short sheeting and such. Now, you have to put a sticky not under someone's mouse or unplug their little receiver to get their attention. Then there's the BSOD screen saver....that's a fun one.
I thought that "nalgene" was the trade name for the plastic they used.....and SS is NOT plastic! Then again, what the hell do I know? Answer: NOTHING! (just in case you were in doubt....)

My understanding was Nalgene was the name of the company that made the plastic bottles and then they spread out into other materials. But then again, I'm right there with you on what I know.

All the SS bottles we have here will no longer stand up straight....ALL of them have very misshapen bottoms from being dropped, left in the cold and god knows what else. I'll stick to my Camelbak bottles, thank you. And the valves on those SS caps.....SQUEEEEEL! I'll take the regular plastic Nalgenes. At least I know I won't get my tongue stuck to them in the cold weather.

Becker field bag on the exchange in "gadgets and gear" (individual section) if any of y'all are interested...
That's a bit much for hanging streamers. Plus I just cleaned that bathroom.
Oh I totally walked through them and just said "Oops, forgot to duck!" and left everything for them to pick up.
Well, back in the days, dormitory and military toilet seats came in "Industrial Black Bakelite" or some such material. Black kiwi shoe polish and a little elbow grease would put a "lovely" just cleaned shine to the seat, but...... when you put a 98.6F bottom on it, well.... use your imagination.
I thought about a thin film of petroleum jelly on their door knobs, the toilet seat, and the handle to the fridge. we do have another dude roommate so I'm trying to avoid collateral damage. Another goo one for getting chicks is snap-it's under the toilet seat.
The plastic wrap is a good opener and leaves me somewhere to go from there. I have a good idea to bring them to their knees if this prank war gets crazy...

A Spanish teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.
“House” for instance, is feminine: “la casa.”
“Pencil,” however, is masculine: “el lapiz.”
A student asked, “What gender is ‘computer’?”
Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether “computer” should be a masculine or a feminine noun.
Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.
The men’s group decided that “computer” should definitely be of the feminine gender (“la computadora”
because:
1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic.
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else.
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for possible later retrieval; and
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.
(THIS GETS BETTER!)
The women’s group, however, concluded that computers should be masculine (“el computador” because:
1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on.
2. They have a lot of data but still can’t think for themselves.
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time, they ARE the problem; and
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.
The women won.

Except it's actually la computadora, AFAIK. Which means, women always think they're smarter than men. But men are the ones with binary logic built in. Women use fuzzy logic...which computers were invented to understand.

On the recommendation of AIG through Knife Journal podcast I gave the guys at Knife Thursday podcast a listen. Good information in episode 4 with Cliff Stamp talking about the different knife steels.
Now if those KT Bucketheads would stop flipping/flicking their whimpy folders every two seconds, it would be a more than stellar podcast.
Irritating for someone to be constantly doing that.

Oh no its time for the Jeep smack downreal Jeeps have round headlights. No for real the coil spring suspension rides way better and articulates much more. My TJ is a 97 and it has the 4.0 straight six. KBB says a 97 TJ in good shape is $4500 now Jeeps do run high but you can get a TJ for 4-6k Of course I am still jealous of Murphs 06 Rubicon thats sort of the pinnacle of the Wranglers.
Aww, I'm blushing. Coil springs make a way better ride.
I've not had any issues so far, but there are plenty out there that have.
Just ask Ark.
Now let me get this straight. You offer to pay less than what he's asking for it? Good lord, if this catches on it could be huge. I'll bet Murphy came up with this.
Ssssshhh, it's an insider secret.
The wombat is a proud and noble creature, a worthy representative of BK&T.
No, not worth $6,500. I didn't even pay that much for mine 9 years and almost 100K miles ago.
I'm sorry to say this though, but if you're worried about the interior on an old Jeep you're doing it wrong.
The very reason I herculined mine years ago. Clean up is a snap, especially if you never clean.
Anyone want to come sew for a couple of weeks?
You're still pinching too hard when you near the tip, friction burns are serious issues. Fix it before the gathering.
so there.
Very nice Daiz!

I think the Rubicons had beefed up front-ends. Prolly less likely to have issues than the X.
ok, I'm going to BED finally!

Awesome !
, Birudashi is CONFUSED!!
I took two sips (maybe three!) before putting the plug back on the crack bottle. Holy moly, this is good. I don't generally drink sugar water, but... maybe I'll have it like bourbon.
Hell, I'm confused. So it's not real beer? !
Had Southern Tier? When i was down in P'cola, my buddy and I went on a mission to pick up four bottles for another guy. I bought one for kicks and giggles. I figure Candy Beer Murph can chime in.
Southern Tier is fantastic, but I've not had that one yet. How was it?
Somebody is getting ready for the Ruskies.
Soft drinks confuse Murph. He can't understand drinking something that doesn't get you drunk.

Mostly true, I am vaguely familiar with coffee.
There's more than just the Irish kind.
So I hung saran wrap across the doorway of my roommates door but it is super hard to work with, especially if you're trying not to wake someone up. However she does wear glasses so maybe she won't notice the waves in it. Hopefully it's not very light out when she gets up.
