One day he nearly slammed it in my face. Not good.

So we set to make this right. We liberated a box of CCI rifle primers and some amazingly sticky clear tape. We pre-constructed an 8 foot length of tape with a primer set every inch. It got quickly applied it to the door jamb while the teacher was in the bathroom between classes.

So. The bell rang. The door slammed. And the door opened again with a deafening ROAR!.

They never caught us. :twisted: And that fooking door never slammed again. :mrgreen:
WINNER!!!!!!

Now why didn't this redneck think of that?
Agreed, this is fabulous. :lol: I like it best when the "punishment" fits the "crime".

. . . Okay, okay, I also like Chickens 1, 2 & 4, and when someone's room gets stuffed full of inflatable animals, those are pretty darn good, too. :D

Whoa, you have some of the Revenge books? My best ones never made it into print, "George Hayduke" fell off the radar (and has probably passed by now) while he was compiling one more book ....

Thats good!

We had a snowstorm on halloween eve I think it was 1998.
We got 3 feet of snow!!
Closed schools down for a week and most everything else for a few days until they found places to dump the snow they removed from streets.

Evening AntiM, Savannah, Patsh!

The popular guys in my highschool put tires on the entire flag pole, top to bottom. They were caught and arrested...and charged with some crime or another.
The detectives figured out a cherry picker had to be the only way to accomplish this and there was only one in the town, it was owned by the father of one of the popular guys. Total buzzkill....that was a public redneck highschool, meh.

I later transferred to an Aldous Huxley founded highschool....we won't go there entirely just yet, oh my fucking gawd! I will say IMHO (and real been there done that opinion) it takes more than a village to raise a child... Happy Valley was an utterly unreal highschool experience...and funny thing is.... I found some of us from that school here on eplaya and on the playa! Hilarious aye gang? (I won't say who we are unless you do!) Hahaha! I hear tell the new headmaster has done a wonderful job of cleaning that highschool up, so...it's all good, nowadays, phew! Naked ping pong with a monkey for P.E. class anyone? It was that wild, back in the 70's. Oops, I told some... :oops:

Hi Yggy!
You can ride with me on the trike this weekend... we're having an escort for a soldier returning from Afghanistan on Saturday, ending with a party at the American Legion, And Sunday, a benefit run for a dear friend and fellow Legion Rider, who is dealing with huge medical bills (fuck cancer).

Morning Patsh, Unjohn and YG. YG, that is just the cutest outfit!!! You'll have all the guys going Gaga!!!

Good work, Patsh!

Fall is in the air as the evenings here get cooler and the dark keeps getting earlier. Days are sunny in the 70s and that is the general forecast for the rest of the month.

Have a great day, kiddies

Well, I think you know you are invited to race with us in the Kinetic Sculpture Race in Ventura on October 19. We will be in the moon-buggy-looking vehicle on the left in this picture. (Both vehicles are mine, but the red one is currently in pieces.)

You and me both, Delle! 8) Maybe we can bring them along in our Bus and Bike and Fire Truck Caravan? Because I most certainly would work my fingers off to make this dream happen:

Florida, Carolinas, D.C., Rochester and crisscrossing in between.......culminating at the "eplaya" camp in BRC, which was a huge collection of Bedouin tents, little old travel trailers, Home made and factory, hexa yurts, school busses and a fire truck. it was sort of a circle arrangement, with a shade in the middle containing a bar, with all sorts of furnishings and accoutrements...........

sigh** I awoke before I found out if we ever left.............
HI yiggy, Patsh, MSky! and everyone else I can't see over the bar! :)

I LOVE THE BUS DREAM!!! I'm so in! It's been a fantasy of mine to travel around on a bus with friends as long as I can remember! (starts chanting, I do I do I do believe in dreams... I do I do I do!... )

Did somebody say road trip by bus?

Image

I've been trying not to think about Ygmir's dream. Every so often, my Kinetic Sculpture Racing gang talks about going to the Baltimore race (always the first weekend of May). With Millicent and the trailer -- maybe a double-deck trailer -- we should be able to bring a handful of entries. (Some years back, a group from Humboldt County made the pilgrimage with their entries in a contracted 18-wheeler.)

Fuel for the 6,000 mile round trip would be around $3,000 -- without any detours, which we would of course want to make.

In BRC, four 40-foot 20,000-pound rigs parked in a square, with mounting points on the roofs (ala Millicent), could support one hecka shade tarp.

Well, I'm going outside to blow Dust out of Millicent. I've been waiting for a nice day with a brisk breeze to help carry it away.

I would LOVE to see you folks head this way for the Baltimore race! And I could definitely help arrange a soft landing for you here, and maybe even somewheres else along the way. 8)
