"Safety First" they preach! That is until production falls behind schedule - then it's in the gutter.

For those that live on the go (they live in their Lincoln). . . Lyn-Dor Industries announces the Mark XXXXXL (0) Window AC unit and back-up generator. The back-up generator runs off back-up lights, and whatever gasoline you can siphon from someone else's tank at night when nobody looking.

This is truly a fourth world (urban decay) solution to the modern cost of housing.

Tales have been told that there be a witch that uses such a vessel as transport to nether regions, we must use caution lest she cast a spell of confusion, or worse, succumb to her evil charms and become a slave to her every wish....like mowing the lawn...the very thought makes my skin crawl...

No wait,,,,that's just an incoming call.....nevermind...

With two bathtubs made of brass, the witch would rub them together to make stormy weather, and lightning would shoot out of her arse. They called the wind Maria.

My favorite band, totally unheralded, and when Lowell George died, they could not replace him, unless they used two singers . I saw them many times, and have all of their stuff. Good for you, being another Feat Fan. As Lowell George said, " Don't you know, you are over the hill, when the mind makes a promise that the body can't fill…" Look for his last solo album, --"Rosarito - " I live by the beach..eating and drinking tequila…." Good stuff..Thanks for the memories.. mac

hmmm, a lady in a tub in the middle of nowhere. instead of breaking it, climb in and get clean with her. I don't find that concept hard at all.

Re: Caption This...

You ain't wrong.

The Challenge Question and all has gone down the boot.. CR4 usual banter has just gone. Many members of long standing are no longer here. There is no good humoured fun, the after work 'giggle over a beer' is no longer here. It ended when IHS took over what had been a love of labour by various employees. The corporate idiots did not understand.

Well, that's me done, but everybody knows it. Chris Leonard and others created this place. IHS have pancaked it.

Oh, annoyed at me ? This place did once drive traffic to Globalspec (call it what you want). If you think I am wrong, just ask why so many people have left. Nobody departed wanted a free lunch, the majority (self excepted) had made a huge input that could drive traffic to IHS..

It isn't rocket science. A freindly forum where people have banter and chat leads to people making contacts and swapping info.

Yes, my spelling and grandma is crap. Sorry IHS dudes, that matters not.

Apart from banning me, do any of them have the balls to explain how they would like CR4 to work ? Do you want people joking, do you want it very serious and technical ?

I'll play by whatever rules you want, but it helps if you make it clear.

"There is no good humoured fun, the after work 'giggle over a beer' is no longer here. "

I disagree. I see stuff that gets posted here all the time that makes me giggle. Usually its the OMG giggle I normally have when watching epic fail videos on YouTube but a giggle no less.

The difference is that in the "good old days", we used to giggle with rather than at.

'With' 'at' whatever. I prefer to not limit my range of topics to giggle at.

It just takes away from the sweet savory ridiculous nature of life as I see it.

In response:

There once was a man from Boston,

Who bought himself an Auston.

He had room for his ass, and a gallon of gas,

But his balls hung out, so he lost 'em.

OK, so I guess the question should actually be why has the "Caption This" section not been listed in the "Latest Blog Entries" section of the CR4 front page?

There was no photo the week before. Normally... the week's submission is there first thing in the morning on the Friday. This submission was posted only 15 minutes before I posted my message at 5:00 PM, I had not seen it.

I also stopped receiving the CR4 Daily Digest email after April 22. That feature, now not present, may explain a drop in participation.

There are three pictures waiting here, however, this computer has discomnockerated itself, and while rebuilding the system, the ability to post both pictures and smilies has been lost. :-(
