    Bah

    Hello...

    Go pinch a plastic drinking straw...

    Now go get a 24" to 36" x 20 foot PVC PID (public infrastructure discharge) pipe and a couple of propane or acetelyne 'cold grave' heaters...

    Take the works to the auto crusher and BOOM - there is Bob - not my uncle...

    The end of the day looms near - thoughts not so clear...:)

    Kinda' like a constant camber - hot molded - smash hull...:)

    War? What war....? Plain piracy to rob from a decaying Spain the few remaining colonies.
    "Captain Henry Glass was on the cruiser USS Charleston when he opened sealed orders notifying him to proceed to Guam and capture it. Upon arrival on June 20, he fired his cannon at the island. A poorly equipped Spanish officer, not knowing that war had been declared, came out to the ship and asked to borrow some powder to return the American's salute...."
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish-American_War
    But, because the divine justice exists, then the USA got Castro.

    Cheers. :)

    Can Of Nuts

    Hello...

    Watching an ABBA documentary - not sure how I feel about that really - I never went for the blonde...

    Also wondering whether the old bathtub pop pop theory could be scaled up a bit - I do not know of anyone who has tried - or maybe they did and for obvious reasons - we did not hear from them again...:)

    See http://www.nmia.com/~vrbass/pop-pop/ ...

    Why do my even semi serious posts always drift to the south...

    Oh well - that is the nature of discussion - I imagine...
