  1. @Guard Dog Welcome back! We decided to replace one of the ceiling fans, which is normally a nothingburger, but this fan was attached to an 18' ceiling with a 5' down rod, which turned this job into a somethingburger. I have 6' of scaffolding, and I borrowed another 12'...and then I sent my buddy up to the top to connect the wiring. I dont mess with anything I cant reach from a 6' ladder. Its done and looks great. 60" wingspan, LED lighting (so I shouldnt have to climb up there to change bulbs) and apparently its "smart" if I download their app.

  3. Yeah I dont recall seeing GM since the last time this topic popped up.
  4. Over the holidays we were gifted an 8-pod hydroponic grower: FIRINER Herb Garden Hydroponics Growing System - 8 Pods Indoor Gardening System with LED Grow Light, Plants Germination Kit with Pump System Automatic Timer, Adjustable(19.6") Ideal Gifts for Women (amazon.com) (ideal for women? wtf?) and one recent drunken night we decided to set it up. We bought seed packets and set up basil x3, cilantro x 2 and Beefsteak tomato x 3 and Im happy to report that all but one cilantro has sprouted! But I also had a lot of leftover seeds so I drunkenly wandered around the house placing Beefsteak tomato seeds into a bunch of other various potted plants my wife has around the house. Loe and behold! 10 more Beefsteak tomato plants have sprouted in those planters too! So I guess Ill try to corner the market on Beefsteak tomatos. *It makes me lol to say Beefsteak tomato.
  5. I should get one of those abdominal shockers and see if I can zap my way to a 6-pack. I dont have much bodyfat there so maybe electrocuting my way to more muscle mass would yield results. Maybe another one for whatever that muscle group is that gives you the pelvic "V" too.
  6. Maybe riding the Jungle Cruise attraction at Disneyland in the early 70's left an indelible impression on my wee mind.
  7. I know its not the case in SA, but whenever I think if Africa, my mind instantly conjures the image of being on the African Queen, riding down some river, dense jungle to either side, was that a rustling in the bushes!?, suddenly darts are whistling through the air crossing the deck from both sides!, arrows and spears make a thud as they stick into the deckhouse!, in the distance...an ever present sound of drums. Fade to black.
  8. I dunno man. I saw on the news that Africa has the highest percentage of blow dart violence of any continent in the world! Does the SA UHC provide free access to tree frog antivenom?
  9. Slow cap on the reference.
  10. Immigration / asylum = potato / potahto. Cant get in legit? Then suddenly claim oppression. Its genius! I myself have felt oppressed for over half a century and I would be open to greener pastures. Can anyone recommend a country with the following criteria: UHC, UBI, an average temperature ~80F, I dont have to learn the language, and ridiculously affordable housing? So far I can only come up with Cancun, and to a less affordable extent, Cabo. I dont think they have UBI either but I could probably let that slide due to the significantly lower cost of living.

  12. I cant believe I watched that whole Soulja Boy video...it was hypnotic.
  13. @Keyrock Only the unicorn left to go?
  14. I keep wanting to watch Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia but then I see it has 15 seasons and it takes the wind out of my sails. Aint nobody got no time to catch up 15 seasons.
  15. SEE! All we need is UBI, UHC, UFH and UFE and the extremisms will get all snuffed out.

  18. Gary Rossington. The last surviving founding member of Lynyrd Skynyrd.
  19. This is currently a problem Im having with my laptop. I bought another 8GM RAM to install, and the installation video looks easy peasy, but watching the dude wrestle the back off the laptop has put the fear of the Flying Spaghetti Monster into me.
