  1. The Toyota must be used round the world. I remember seeing them used by the Taliban on the news. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  2. Certainly. Slower traffic to the right. Will use turnouts. People get frisky and a bit of road rage when somebody spends their life in the left lane. I spent a bit of time in the right lane up there with a 97 Subaru 4 banger and a little less with a Honda Element. Just wondered about the Toyota.

  3. Yep, I can live being passed considering the gas mileage with the 4 banger. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  4. This may turn into winter driving too, but it's 4x4 and chains are an option. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  5. This will be a 4x4 also. Thought about the fuel mileage with the 4 banger. Thanks Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  6. The only time I will go fast is to keep up with traffic on the highway. Rest of the time will be on dirt. Thanks. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  7. Is anyone driving a Toyota Tacoma with the 2.7L engine in the Rocky Mountains? Does it have the power? Not gonna tow or haul anything big. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  8. ERA always made copilots out of low -timers and then turned them loose as a single-pilot vfr captains. We had a kid working in baggage handling and refueling that picked up his ratings and flew a little as an instructor who got hired. That happened 2 years ago and more senior captains have retired since then. I sure liked the 14 and 14 schedule better than the 7 and 7. When you going to apply?

  10. Yep, and all those old guys that flew in Vietnam are starting to give it up. Should be lots of jobs for an offshore pilot. I heard you might even be able to duck the 1000 hr requirement at certain offshore helicopter companies. How you doin Buck? Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  11. Would you vote for a Republican if he or she slept with a Nancy Pelosi blow-up doll? Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  12. March 1948 Many will recall that on July 8, 1947, witnesses claimed that an unidentified (flying) object crashed onto a sheep and cattle ranch just outside Roswell, New Mexico. This is a well known incident that many say has long been covered up by the US Airforce and the federal government. However, what you may NOT know is that in the month of March 1948, exactly nine months after that historic day, the following people were born: Albert Arnold Gore Jr., Hillary Rodham, John F. Kerry, William Jefferson Clinton, Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein, Charles E. Schumer, Barbara Boxer. See what happens when aliens breed with sheep? This piece of information may clear up a lot of things. UNKNOWN AUTHOR Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  13. Sure would like to see convicted felons loose all their benefits including the right to breathe. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

  15. Maybe I'm wrong, but somebody working at Sonic is at the end of their rope and considered the "working poor" so I tip when I can. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  16. Swiss neutrality is a myth. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  17. The Swiss were neutral in WWII in name only. Sure they didn't send troops anywhere. They were too busy buying up looted gold from the Nazis and helping to keep them from going bankrupt. It's no secret where the gold came from. ***The swiss partnership with the Nazis didn't end there. From the Swiss, the Nazis received munitions, machine tools, and electrical equipment throughout the war. The munitions, in particular, worried Secretary Cordell Hull. In a letter to Admiral William Leahy he wrote that the Swiss were "materially decreasing the military effectiveness of our air attacks on the Axis." Leahy agreed. He replied that the Swiss were increasing Nazi munitions supplies "at the very time that the British and American combined bomber offensive is beginning to substantially affect German production of munitions." An Allied blockade of Switzerland was discussed, but never but into effect.ROOSEVELT AND THE HOLOCAUST Robert L. Beir with Brian Josepher.

  18. Good rant. Funny, we blame so much on the education system, yet little is said of poor parenting or no parenting. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  19. It's funny that 1-2 years ago, I would have been slammed by two dozen posters within minutes of saying what I said here. But now there is not a peep for several days and counting. Coincidence? I think not. I thought maybe you had a load of Moosehead beer and was just venting your frustrations to the max. Welcome back. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

  21. Best dump I ever took was at SLC. I sat down thinking about that cool custom of having multiple wives. Then I started thinking about the high cost of Christmas, birthdays, and bitching. It wasn't long before I had my best dump and quickly removed those thoughts from my mind. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  22. Yep, but just stand out in front of Walmart USA and watch em go by with the parents. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
  23. For what it's worth (aside from whether Canada has an adequate military), I don't see Canadians or their interests being subject to the same attacks, either on their soil or abroad, as either the USA or the UK periodically experience. Maybe it's because, internationally speaking, they generally mind their own business. That's not always a good thing, but it's worth mentioning. I believe the Royal Canadian Mounted Police broke up a terror cell that was plotting to bomb parliment and behead the prime minister. Sure, the terrorists were Canadians, but they all requested a copy of the Koran when they appeared in court. We weren't minding our own business when we rebuilt our enemies after WWII, and we have made blunders along the way. President Truman left office taking hits from both parties. People hated him worse than Bush because of the Korean War, but Winston Churchill knew different when he said,"You more than any other man have saved Western civilization." We and the UK aren't where we are today by minding our own business for sure, but I would like to think we have done a lot of good in spite of some mistakes that history may prove otherwise.

  24. Bush is more interested in catering to the Mexican and Saudi governtments than his own citizens. How can he sleep at night knowing that anyone can cross our borders? I think we go out this year with the second most do-nothing congress on the books. Corruption? Let's see if the democrats mean what they say. I think it's typical political bullshit. Hope I'm wrong. I almost immigrated to Australia years ago, and sometimes I wish I'd gone. Now i'm just going to immigrate to Montana. Canada is too beautiful to leave.

  25. It's too cold in Canada. West Africa is the next oil boom. You guys disarmed yourselves after WWII and spent all your money on "cradle to grave" entitilements, but don't worry, we'll defend you in a pinch. Tired of American politics? Don't watch those yankee channels. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
