The guy that made it the farthest on America Ninja this year was NOT bulked up or cut at all. In fact, he looked pretty normal compared to most of the competitors.

Good for him... I wish they still televised the ranger competition. That stuff gets intense

I saw a local TV show that reported on an arm wrestling contest. It was held in Oregon at a local bar that was where the local loggers hung out. A bunch of scrawny local guys just crushed the big time muscled up "professional" arm wrestlers. I don't know if it was a parody or real but it was amazing.

Joe, write down what you want to say. Make sure you start it out with "I wanted to talk to you but after lifting everything here..."

Jelly Bryce was a natural shot. Rob Leatham is pretty darn good. Chuck Norris is actually very good with a revolver. The guys on Top Shot are pretty good as well.

The problem is my speech turns to what can only be described as a drunken lou ferrigno after being hit in the head.....when it's actually speech and not grunts

Evening Y'all. Lets hope it doesn't rain on sat. I am going to stretch the 7 to 1k, meters. It's hard to find a place that open in this neck of the woods.

Anybody else read this and feel like there is a whole lot of not smart going on?

Yep, that guy's story sounds like stories I heard from guys whom later admitted they were living on Vicodin at the time.

I've had a few break downs, and always wreckered to the repair shop.

My Boxster S threw a rod at an autocross. Didn't over rev on downshift but it went when I got back on throttle exiting a corner. The Boxster was still under warrantee so I called 1800Porsche. They sent a wrecker to flatbed it to the dealership and offered to give me a ride, think I got a ride home from Glen instead so I could stay at the autocross. The first thing Porsche did was check the black box data log and determined it was nothing I had done to cause the failure. Porsche replaced the motor and gave me a loaner to drive while it was being done.

The most upsetting part about the Boxster S breaking down is one of the guys let me drive a new track optioned 350Z for my second set of 4 laps and I beat my boosters best time by a full second.

And another hump day comes to an end...or three.

Having the proper equipment is a good thing.

Just jam some wood wedges in there, Joe. You're tough, right?

Good Morning folks.

I had another almost comical conversation with a client yesterday. I felt like exclaiming "who's on first?" at one point.

He wanted the impossible. He wanted a print of the road from one intersection to the next intersection along a section line road. The two intersections are one mile apart. 5280 feet shown on a print at a scale of 1"=100' would be 52.80 inches. To show all of the intersection and a little past the end of the intersection a 60' wide print is perfect. He wanted the detail of 1"=100' but he wanted me to keep the print size down to 32 inches. :confused: :confused: :eek: I explained it again. We went around that circle a few times. "Who's on first?"

Essentially he wants me to put a gallon in a pint jar. Our supply of magic fairy dust is still on back order. I had to set up the print job program on a 32 inch page and show him he can see any 1/4 of the mile but not all of it in 32 inches. And this dude is an attorney! :eek: :eek:

Everyone knows Who's on second, not first. Get with the program fella! ;)

That's why you smile and hand her the note.

Glen, that sounds like an order a friend had while working at McDonalds in college. The woman asked for a hamburger with cheese so he charged her for a cheeseburger. She did not want a cheeseburger and was only going to pay for a hamburger, but with cheese on it. He tried to explain that was a cheeseburger but she would have none of it.

To the person in front of me this morning. If you can't keep up with the semi on the on ramp, maybe you shouldn't drive.

With both kids in school and Jenny working our yellow lab was getting lonely at home so we brought home a Beagle mix. He seems to be doing OK with the change of homes. I bring this up because he is hilarious to watch play with her. He will take off running so she will chase him, then he does a monkey roll to change directions. Over, and over.

I bet his math skills are perfect at adding up his bill to the client.

One of our pet peeves with law suit cases is the lawyer on both sides are paid major bucks, the client is looking for huge amounts of money and they just gasp and choke it we tell them it might cost $750 for a photo shot from an airplane and camera that cost us way more more than the average house of today in the nice neighborhoods.

flipper35 09-11-2014 08:16 AM

You don't need math skills to have your administrative assistant work up and hand out your bill.

Maybe you could have done a scroll for him?
