You'd have to be some sort of a contortionist, with that funny bendy-backward, double-backslash bit..... I'll watch! :rofl:

I was binging Dexter and remembered my first major internet search.

Using Netscape, I searched, found, and printed the Unabomber's Manifesto when it came out.

Words amuse me, especially amusing typos. I was reading something about an actress today and it said, "she struggled with drug addition".

:laugh: Yea, I can see how that might be a problem. Generally when you start stacking your illicits it's a pretty big problem.

Not that I was expecting to see many given the dictator was shot in 1989, but my "classic BMW count" after a week of travels across Romania:

- E28: 0
- E30: 4
- E34: 4
- E46: Tons

I was looking too.

Lots of nice new cars across the country (tons of really nice ones in Bucharest). Fun trip. Highly recommended place to visit.

I sure wish I had an E28 or 911 here:

It's bad enough that I have to watch an ad before playing nearly every YouTube video. Is it too much to ask for that ad to be in English?!

Yes ad's on youtube & waiting for google analytics before a web page load piss me off. But I now have more respect for V1 radar detectors. I'm cruising to work & minding the speed, flowing with traffic. Right after I get on the hiway, the behind me arrow lights up & it starts blapping. I think it's another cars radar detector or something behind me like that. I don't see no cops. Then about 2 miles up the road, suddenly there's a cop in my rearview with his lights on & I'm in the way, so I change lanes, as do 2 others ahead of me & he gets on to where he's going. My trust level for this radio receiver just went up another notch.

You may be bat-shit crazy.

You may also be cat-shit crazy - fo' real.


And, very randomly, this picture was leaning against a column in my parking garage this morning. It must have been a strange weekend in the parking garage.....

I've been in my current patrol area for just shy of three years and not once has Chip the Doberman ever been out of his pen...until today. I didn't know an old fat guy could be so fleet of foot. I mean, it was like a sequel to Chariots of Fire except with a better soundtrack. To add insult to injury, I stepped in a big pile of Chip the Doberman's poo while hightailing back to the truck.
