Interesting... I live within an hour of each of the "Big 3" and I've never heard of a Fiesta. Ford (and the others) must pick certain vehicles marketed to specific regions.

Yeah, wtf was that all about? Of course, she made the decision to answer it. Maybe sometimes she answers questions just so she can lurk here afterward to see our reactions. :lol:

patience people

^ Cornstarch and boulders, we're on a roll here. Much better than chemical dispersant and golf balls.

Thinking far outside the box, and way off into the stupid bin, but... jamming a few truckloads of cornstarch down the hole couldn't hurt. :wacko: And it's natural.

I didn't sneeze, but I yawned Someone should start a yawn thread. People yawning usually makes other people yawn, so...

Yeah, man-made disasters are a bit more despicable than natural disasters

:bigcry: Do you live near any of the coasts? Not that this really relates to the topic, but I found it interesting in that article when they were talking about Florida's tourism industry, they mentioned that Florida does not have any income taxes. I didn't know that.

^ Galarraga. And don't feel too bad, he got a free Corvette out of it. And even if he's not technically in the record books, people will recognize the achievement regardless. And as I've heard, his case is even more interesting because he would be the only pitcher to face 28 batters in a perfect game. :lol: But I agree, umpire Jim Joyce definitely acted in a classy manner, as well as the whole Tigers organization, and most of the fans too. Detroit rocks! \m/

Last night I had a 'eureka' moment in regard to a possible explanation for the whole solar system thing. I didn't go back and read all the posts, but I don't think it was mentioned here yet...

Wow, it arrived much sooner than I anticipated! This is so cool... Although the ink doesn't adhere to skin for very long, I put it on my hand. (And YES, my hands REALLY ARE that small.) And I'm still trying to figure out whether my Kitty is worthy of the WCSoA. :D

a/k/a fauxhawk

Galarraga was robbed! And the umpire is going to be back in Detroit today. I wonder what kind of "welcome" reaction he's going to get...

New picture from the Beehive posted in the R#42 blog today

:dance: New Roadie 42 blog posted today... :awesome: EDIT: Sue, you beat me by only 2 seconds I think :lol:

Forgive me if this sounds stupid, but... I thought guns were illegal over there?

Why... is it because you're afraid you won't have one much longer? :sad:... :cry:... :bigcry:

Actually, I've always thought the first picture in the Exhibition Room looked like the background during a very small part of their Live 8 perfomance with Richard Ashcroft (at the beginning, between 0:05 to 0:06). [ame= ] [/ame]

Now the saw that they were using to cut the well got stuck. Lovely. "Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen is saying that a saw has become stuck as it was cutting through a pipe on a busted well, stalling the latest attempt to contain the Gulf oil gusher. Allen said Wednesday the goal is to free the saw and finish the cut later in the day."

So I look outside, and at about 10:30 in the morning it's so dark that it looks like it's almost nighttime. Now there's thunder, hail, wind, etc. Normally I don't mind, but we're supposed to have our first softball game of the season this evening. :bigcry:

Once again, a question from a Carrie in the U.S. that is NOT me... I think that's at least 3 now in the past couple of months. :dozey:

^ Oz, you rock! (I still owe y'all the goofy pic I mentioned eons ago :whip:... I'll give you a hint, it also has a "Shaun of the Dead" theme :D)

:lol: Oh Will...
