What's with the whole "Overland" craze? Driving to your accounting job downtown in your Tacoma with tent, shovel, jack, gas cans, propane tank, etc.

Is there some alien invasion/Armageddon stuff ready to go down at any minute that I haven't heard about? Do you realize what that's doing to your MPG with gas prices as high as they are?

Just curious.

"Cock tailings” was a term used to describe the mixture that was created when tavern owners combined the dregs (tailings) of nearly empty barrels together. The resulting mixture from several barrels would then be sold at a discounted price.

Why are 2 piece pool cues made with joint sizes listed in a SAE thread pitch and tip diameters listed in millimeters? No satisfactory answers in a pool forum I visit, other than it's just the way it is...

That sounds like the bicycle industry as a whole. Imperial and metric... With Italian, English and French thread pitches.
Also JIS (Japanese).

This happened over a long period of time. Maybe it's the same with Pool Cues?
