Useless Facts/Chit Chat Thread

[BigDaddyRog]

Rog obviously spends too much time on EBAY and has the last minute timing down to a science. it's all about that last second bid to get the best price.

I actually have a program that does that for me...waits till the 5th second before auction end and bids for me....I rarely lose.

I got this today from a company I had to buy a side view mirror from on ebay, thought it was kinda funny:

The clock flashes to 6:17 AM as you patiently wait in line at the drive-thru for your early morning coffee. All the thoughts of the oncoming day race through your head as you contemplate which flavor of coffee you are craving this morning. Before you know it, it is your turn in line, and it’s time to make the decision that will greatly affect the outcome of your entire day. You nonchalantly push the window switch to roll down your power window, and the only thing that happens is the deafening sound of silence. Instantly, panic ensues and you are hysterically clawing at the door switches and dashboard hoping that you don’t have to smash out your window for a coffee. You cry out in anger with your hands in the air like a prehistoric beast, but there is no hope for an easy coffee transaction. Your window regulator is broken. This leaves you with no choice but to shamefully exit your vehicle to get your morning caffeine fix, completely negating the entire purpose of a drive-thru window.
Sure this is an extreme case, but we have been there and don’t ever want to see it happen again. We can’t send you your dignity back, but we can send you the parts you need to make your window work again. Whether it is a window regulator, a window motor, or a window switch, we have it all. Just let your fingers guide you over to our website and take a look at all we have to offer. If all of your windows are working great already, we would still love for you to visit our site. Our headlight, mirror, door handle, and tail light selections get greater every single day.

That's really kind of funny. Makes me want to knock off my mirror so I can go get a new one

Hey Rog,

My 17-year-old friend, Jared, who's sitting next to me right now just saw your picture and says your daughters are pretty!

 

[ntsammy5]

That's all you need Rog!

Hey Rog,

My 17-year-old friend, Jared, who's sitting next to me right now just saw your picture and says your daughters are pretty!

Would he like to take her shopping?

you can also look for hideous pink carts...that is how i got mine, no one would be seen dead in that thing...good thing i painted it the correct colors

seriously, there is a guy in haines city that buys them bulk from courses and then resells them after he has slightly fixed them up...got mine for 535.00

I glad I didn't find a hideous pink cart. My DD14 wouldn't let me paint it if it was. She's into pinks, reds, anything really bright and obnoxious.

Funny enough, no one would want that cart now that you made it worse than the pink.....

I had to share, I just booked my first trip to the FORT! October 5-12, preferred.

I am so excited, I can barely stand it! 187 days to go!

I saw your April Fool's joke Gatordad, had me all the way till someone else figured it out. Good one.

Rog, the thing about the coffee from your parts company was hilarious

John, I think your site is great.

Have a great night all you guys. I've been reading your posts, as usual, I don't have a lot of time to chat. But I wanted to share...

OMG! May I copy that sign?! I think it could come in handy one day! You know, scare tactics!

Hey Pete... I saw this on Good Eats (Food Network) last nite & thought I'd try it out tonight. They are worthy of "White Castle"!!!

1 lb ground chuck
Garlic Salt
Onion Powder

Directions:

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, "plop" ground chuck on top.

Take a sheet of saran wrap and cover entire top of cookie sheet (meat & all). Roll ground chuck out to fit pan (will be real thin). Remove wrap & sprinkle meat with garlic salt & onion powder to taste.

Carefully lift parchment paper & double meat over onto itself (fold in half), and pull parchment paper off & lay back on cookie sheet..

Put saran wrap back over & roll out meat again to desired thickness. Remove saran wrap & throw away.

Take a pizza cutter & cut burgers into desired size. They will be square shaped.

Preheat electric fry pan or griddle to 350 degrees.

Cook burgers 3 minutes, turn, cook additional 2 minutes.

I used the potato rolls from Publix for my "burger buns". I also took american cheese & divided each slice into four quarters. I put one quarter of cheese on bun, then burger, then other quarter of cheese.

My "techno roller" was a can of green beans!!

They make the little "gut grenade" size burgers & are really yummy!

Thanks to Alton Brown of Good Eats for this.

Bon Appetit'

Wow - those sound great! I'm gonna try it!

 

[HappyCamper87]

Woo Hoo!!!!!!!

EXACTLY
I can always count on you for a Woo-Hoo!!!!!

That sign is great, I have a 15YO DD so I know what Rog is going through. My husband threatens to hang the first real boyfriend from the rafters of the porch as a warning to all the others.

Hey Deb those White Castle style burgers do sound GREAT. Thanks for sharing. YUMMY!

One pound of gr. chuck made 10 "mini burgers". My neighbors across the street were busy all day getting ready to head back north tomorrow, so I took a few over to them. She just called me to ask me to e-mail the directions to her so she can make them for her family back in No. Carolina.

Alton said to make sure you use ground chuck because you need the extra fat content. He was right!

Gotta love Food Network!!

I probably just have my AR-15 out "cleaning" it when the BFs start showing up.

You must listen to country music. Up all night just cleaning this gun.

 

[kc5grw]

Not really much of a country guy. Maybe some Iron Maiden, Metallica or some such.

All good music I listen to it all. But there is a country song out right now that talks about the dad staying up all night cleaning his gun waiting for his daughter to get home from her date.
