  1. Nope.....the Afflack Duck, actually. "T'was ever thus."
  2. Well, I'm banking on the assumption that the Earth won't last past the year 5000.
  3. Really? Where? So all the folks mentioned in this Fox News article discussing the tipping point of oil are wrong? Absolutely. You might try listening to someone actually "in the oil business", like some of the small independent oil producers. "T'was ever thus."
  4. The wells of which you speak were forcibly capped, under the direction of the U.S. government. These wells can produce and did so regularly, until they were shut-down. The so-called oil crisis is purely a wag the dog kinda' thing. There is no oil shortage, there never was and likely never will be. "T'was ever thus."
  5. That could explain the global warming fantasy. Make it ala mode and it just might cool things off a bit! I can see the headlines now...."Baskin Robbins Saves Earth!" "T'was ever thus."
  6. Not everyone automatically buys into every fad or fashion shortage wolf cry. Global warming iis a much a farce as the so-called ol shortage. There's enough oil untapped, to power this world and 100 others like it, for eternity and beyond. The only shortages on this planet, are in wisdom and common sense. Can you be more precise about exactly where this eternal supply of oil is to be found. Underground, generally. It's in the exact same place as it was in the '20s, when the "experts" warned that there wasn't enough oil to last, 'til 1930. "T'was ever thus."

  8. Maybe a Lion Tamer. Rocket Surgeon.....yeah, that's the ticket! Maybe a "lert"? Not sure what it is but I see lotsa' signs, askin' folks to be one....they must be short-staphed so it oughta' pay decent. "T'was ever thus."
  9. They do too. They have: Heaven, Hell, Purgatory, and Limbo Can't get much lower than Limbo. I had no idea that dance had religious significance! "T'was ever thus."
  10. No.....especially while I'm standing atop a nearly endless reserve of untapped oil. When food and fuel become less plentiful than bullets, things will change....they always do. "T'was ever thus."
  11. Gotta' be careful....prepositions can get ya' slapped! "T'was ever thus."
  12. I've decided to protest old age, by burning my birth certificate! Ummmm....anybody have any idea how to light granite? "T'was ever thus."
  13. Mine's chillin like a villian too. Must be the boxer in him! Mine's lookin' at me like I'm some kinda' idiot. I asked him if he wanted to walk and he gave me the "You go ahead....tell me all about it, when you get back" look. It's down to 12F and dropping fast....maybe that has somethin' to do with it. "T'was ever thus."
  14. I got 'em all, unfortunately but for #10, I assume you mean "Freddy the freeloader"....but there was also Clem Kadiddlehopper. As for 12, there was another small car with the engine in the back and a trunk in the front.....the Corvair. Only 17....that was our best bug-stuffing effort. We coulda' got a couple more but we had to be able to drive through McDonalds. "T'was ever thus."
  15. [reply I am a whore for horsepower I tried searching but couldn't find anything on this, on the net but....back in '82 or '83, I saw a couple pics of some "experimental" bikes. They were in either Dirt Bike or MX Action magazine, like a "secret photos" thing. Some of Honda's engineers and mechs got together and kinda' on-the-side, built a CR900R and an XR1100F! The 900R was a V-Twin 2-stroke...2 '81 CR450R cylinders and it was on an '81 CR450R frame. The 1100R was a CB750 (street) engine, bored and modified into an 1100cc trenching machine. It had to have mag wheels, spokes spun out like spaghetti. I can't recall the hp ratings but they were huge!
  16. I suppose no matter who they are, a Dad's still a Dad.
  17. About the only desert stuff I ever kept tabs on were the Baja, the Barstow to Vegas and the Elsinore GP. I still remember Dr. Louis MacKey (hope I spelled his name right)....the "Phantom Duck Of The Desert" and how he took on the BLM and the Sierra Club. I think some of the BLM thugs are still in prison. "T'was ever thus."
  18. I never really understood hare & hound....isn't it basically an enduro? They go off in "minutes" and have checkpoints too, don't they? "T'was ever thus."
  19. It'll all come back. When the wheels become an actual extension of your arms and legs....you're there.
  20. Well damn, can't name 'em all!
  21. Wow....my heroes were, like....Joel Robert, Roger DeCoster, Rolf Tibblin, Ake Jonsson, Malcolm Smith, Johnny O'mara, Brad Lackey, "Professor" Gary Bailey, Heikki Mikkola, etc.
  22. I suppose roadracing was always a more familiar sport, more mainstream and more competetive but the early days of MX were much different...especially in the amateur ranks. Most had no idea what motocross was and the non-spectator-friendly track layouts, kept it from being too popular. It was almost like a cult thing here, not as popular as in Europe. Supercross changed everything...it still somehow gets confused with "motocross". Anybody here ever ride "observed trials"? "T'was ever thus."
  23. Seriously man, that's all there is.
