Ok, I guess the facts are in. Since the rover landed on mars and began sending back information it has not found any proof of ESPN, Cold Beer, Porn, pick up trucks or Playboy on the planet it proves that men are not from Mars!!!!

If you don't dot every ( i ) and cross every ( t ) they will find a reason to deny it.  I have heard a few guys complaining about similar issues recently.

Being a mechanic for over 35 years there was one thing I did notice as newer cars and trucks came out. It seemed that miles were put on cars and trucks much faster than in years past. I decided one day to put it to a small test. Now this was not science by any case of imagination but just a simple test with 6 different vehicles. 3 cars and 3 pick up trucks. One weekend a couple buddies with a few friends and their vehicles and we got together and went to an old airport that was closed and we took a tape measure which took a lot of time but only way to be accurate. We marked off an accurate 1 mile stretch of 5,280 feet. Then each of us drove the vehicles around until each speedometer was at zero at starting point of the 1 mile beginning line. We drove each vehicle the 1 miles stretch 1 time. Only 2 vehicles actually read 1 mile exactly and passed the test. the other 4 vehicles turned 1 mile with anywhere from 100 to 300 feet prior to reaching the 1 mile mark. Now that may not be a scientific test but it does prove that most automobiles and trucks can and do rack up more miles on speedometers  than are actually on them. Now if you figure that most folks do drive more that means that their vehicles are going to add on more false miles in reality then are truly on them. I don't know if this if for the fuel mileage stats most companies like to brag about or if it is designed to get folks to trade more often. Don't know but I do know that most speedometers are inaccurate in how many miles are really on most vehicles...............jmho.   For those of you that may be interested in the vehicles that passed the test..........1 was 2009 Toyota Tundra 4x4 regular cab and the other was a 2010  Nissan Maxima 4 door sedan. Both with automatic transmissions.  The other 4 vehicles were all  American that failed.   Thought it was an interesting way to spend a nice Saturday.

If your looking for non liars in politics Robert you are looking for a unicorn. Can you name one real politician that has not lied about something at one time or another either in their candidacy or after getting elected please share that person with us...........Politicians are all (no offense meant) are used car salesmen and saleswomen. And all of their cars are one owners that a little old school teacher drove..................jmho 

Red touches on some very god points and we do have the power and we do need to flex our muscles and doing it at the bottom and working our way up the ladder is probably the most effective way to do it. Begin at city and county mayors and elected  LEO'S ( Sheriffs) as most or all County Sheriffs in Tennessee are elected I think all the way up to the Governor. Proof that we can have the power was proven in Colorado when they recalled and removed those state Senators for their poor decisions against 2nd Amendment. If we begin spreading the word that we need to get out and vote and if want to make it known who we support and don't support here in Tennessee I think we can make a difference. We need to get started as we have 2014 elections coming in about 9 months...................jmho

I think it's a great idea but how does it work as far as locations. Will there be several locations listed across the state where people can put the Items up to bid on and when a bidder wins can go to a local place to swap the articles. I think its a great idea for sure............... :up: :up:

Huckabee does have one thing going against him. Yes he was a governor but he was or is a minister and a man of faith which would work against him because many people fear religious figures and politics together.................jmho

If her facts were true how come there are so many women out their selling their bodies for the act of sex if it is all that ugly and evil to them? I think her opinions are her own and maybe 1/10 of 1% of all women feel the same but then that is my opinion. Yes there are many cases when a true rapist does force a woman to have sex unwillingly and I think men like that need to be severely punished in a way that will discourage their actions of committing that crime ever again but I don't think all men are rapists.............jmho

Hell, the Republicans are chopping the heads off of their own possibles and Obama has never quit his campaigning for the Democratic machine. He spend more time campaign on the campaign trail for the party more than he does doing what he was elected to do. Obama has never quit fund raising for his party and I don't expect him to stop any time soon. The thing that sticks in my craw the most is everyone has ghosts in their closet and the guy in the Oval Office right now has more than most and yet he was allowed to seal all of his entire past except for a few small ticket items that got out but no one bothered to challenge them. One being how is it that he is using the Social Security of a dead man in CT and it has not come out and been investigated as to how he got that number? That alone is federal felony fraud but nothing is done about it. If and I say if I was going to throw my hat in the ring on a conservative ticket I would first seal all of my records also.....................jmho  

Not great first thing in the morning with coffee. Glad I have several back up key boards cause I just spit coffee on the last one and some letters quit working.............lol............... :up: :up:

My sister in law sends me still shot pictures like those. When she gets bored she goes up to Walmart about 8PM and sits on the bench at one of the entrances and snaps photos of the more interesting ones. Walmart is truly a classy store and does attract so of the most upstanding citizens for sure. I try to not go during the later store hours if I am forced to go there at all which is more and more seldom these days.  I have figure out that if you really compare prices at store like if your looking for hardware you can find what you want at Lowes for a few pennies more. If you need milk go to Krogers or Publix and pay a few pennies more and you can avoid about 98% of these show folks...........jmho

To answer the title question of this thread. My guess is if there was going to be a regulation on underwear it would have happened back when the underwear bomber tried to blow up that airplane.............................jmho

They were just talking about the heist at the N Range Gun Store. They said 43 guns were taken many of them semi auto hand guns and then they added that several AR15's were taken but they couldn't leave it with just AR15 they had to add the words AR15 Assault Rifles.Ok I gotta ask are all AR15's Assault Rifles or are AR15's converted into assault rifles after they are purchased and certain modifications are made to the making them assault rifles. I'm not really a black gun guy except while I was in Nam and had M14's to begin with and then received the M16's later after so many issues with a swamps, jungles and mud............ Just Curious to see replies. They also asked that anyne that may be buying a gun from a person to call the police in Metro or Hendersonville and let them run the Serial numbers for them to make sure you were not buying a stolen gun.........DUH!!   My guess is none of those guns were taken to re sell. My guess is a gang made the hit to update or increase the gangs firepower but I could be wrong............. :squint: :squint: :squint:

You would think Bama would be smarter than that. Has something happened that would make them that desperate??????

I don't know but I have always had an issue that is worded with both the words   Good and cheap in same sentence.  I realize that many folks use it and I have often wondered how it can really work out to be Good and cheap. My preference if I were looking for an item I would prefer it to be  good while also inexpensive. Not picking on you for this RC3 because I have seen the same request many times made by others. Just thought I would see what folks thoughts were on the Good and Cheap would mean to them............. :ugh: :ugh:

I agree with chances R and  over the years I have had people ask me if I could or would actually shoot another human being?  I sometimes won't answer and other times depending on who is asking the question I will answer. In most cases it is someone that knows I have an HCP but does not know me all that well and don't know my history. As far as killing another human being. I spent 4.5 years in Vietnam so killing a human being was almost a way of life depending on your circumstances. Mine called for and required it if I wanted to come home and not in a pine box. When I tell a person that killing a human being is not something anyone that is just not an evil person never chooses to take another persons life. During my life as a military person in a war zone did not have much choice. I can still remember the first person I killed like it was yesterday. I can remember killing the last person I killed like it was yesterday also. Would I kill again? Not unless I had no other option but yes I would if I had to. Everyday when I wake up I hope and Pray that i have another uneventful day of not needing to use a firearm. I think everyone here that has been in the military and served in a live action war zone can relate to what i am saying. This may be a little off topic but I think it fits a little.............jmho

I didn't watch the video because I wanted to save those 2.5 minutes for something that might be important. I love that Tv commercial from that pistachio nut company where the little Korean leader blows up Rodman. I figure if Rodman keeps playing with fire he is going to get burned and it couldn't happen to a better person........................jmho

you beat me to it BigK.   Not only who would wear it but who would make it?  I think some of that story may be exaggerated because they added blunt force trauma to the charges but I closed my eyes and tried to picture a weggie from my butt around my head and it sounds virtually and impossible feat without underwear tearing at some point but I could be wrong.................jmho  

Just my :2cents: but all cars equip with fuel injection has a cold run injector that introduces extra fuel into the engine for a couple reasons 1st being it supplies the engine with the required amount of fuel for cold starts and also aids in supplying the engine with enough fuel to get it through the cold run cycle at a normal rate according to engine requirements. On extremely cold days that cold run injector will continue to produce extra fuel longer than in normal temperatures and once the motor warms up it is suppose to discontinue operation. Yours may be working beyond the point of a warm engine which in turn will cause dark gray smoke from unburnt fuel in the exhaust. The fact that the noise is louder than normal could be as several have mentioned above and you could  have a cracked manifold. I went through that a few years back on my jeep during some really cold weather. I was driving it after it had warmed up and it had began to rain and I hit a puddle of water and almost instantly the Jeep exhaust got louder signaling a cracked manifold. Son removed it and used nickel welding rods to seal the exhaust back closed. I didn't have a warranty due to age of Jeep. If I had a warranty I would have had it back the the dealership the next day. That is what warranties are for...............jmho

I don't know , but I look at things a little different than most but having my father wave good bye to me each morning would have made me feel good because I knew he loved me and one never knows when that might be the last time they see each other. That is why I had a policy in our home when my boys were growing up. It was no one ever went to bed mad at one another about anything. If their was an argument of disagreement about something it was always settled before anyone went to bed. I always saw both my boys off to school but they didn't ride the bus. I dropped them off at school before going to work.................jmho

I'm sure there are many privately own properties that are large enough to allow a gun show to be held that will be stepping up to the plate and they will be the ones that profit from holding the shows that the county will be losing..............jmho

I would never support any cuts in any budget that effects our troops. Now with that said, I would support a budget that, Cuts all salaries of all Congress men and women by 15% across the board, I would support any budget cuts that cut 15%  to all Senators, across the board, I would support a budget that cuts of 15% the salaries of any and all aids to each one of the people listed above. I would support a budget cut to any and all free world contractors of 15%. I would support a budget cut of 25% to any and all lobbyists actively working inside Washington DC for elected offices. I would support a 15% cut in the budget of the Secret Service across the board. I would support a 50% cut in the budget of Air force 1 and 2 usage. I would support a budget cut of 25% for all the aids to the First Lady since for some reason she thinks she needs about 1000% more aids than any other first lady in Presidential history. I would support a budget cut of 25% for the people caring for the Presidents two mutts. I support closing down Camp David completely. Now just to recap anyone or anything I know I may have missed. Lets make it easy and cut every budget pertaining to any thing I know I missed by 25% that pertains to anything even remotely connected to the services of any operation in Washington DC that is in any way remotely connected to any one elected by the people and anyone connected to them. If they feel they can cut the salaries of the most important part of our Government which is our Military Then it is only fair that We the People introduce out own budget package. If it was not for our Great Military and the people in it all of those elected officials would not have a job because this Great Nation would not exist.............Some one mentioned that President Obama should ahve not signed that bill until the Military part was removed. That fact that the part about cutting the Military salaries was in their was the main reason he was thrilled to sign it because Obama hates our Soldiers and has not tried to hide that fact by his actions towards them................jmho

The Tooth Brush Salesman >>> >>>The kids filed into class Monday morning. They were all very excited. >>> >>>Their weekend assignment was to sell something, then give a talk on salesmanship. >>> >>>Little Sally led off. "I sold Girl Scout cookies and I made $30" she >>>said proudly. "My sales approach was to appeal  to the customer's civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious success." "Very good", said the teacher. >>> >>>Little Debbie was next. "I sold magazines" she said, "I made $45 and I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them up on current events." >>>"Very good, Debbie",said the teacher. >>> >>>Eventually, it was Little Johnny's turn. The teacher held her breath. Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the teacher's desk. "$2,467", he said. >>> >>>"$2,467!" cried the teacher, "What in the world were you selling?" >>>"Toothbrushes", said Little Johnny. >>> >>>"Toothbrushes", echoed the teacher, "How could you possibly sell >>>enough tooth brushes to make so much money?" >>> >>>"I found the busiest corner in town", said Little Johnny, "I set up a Dip & Chip stand and I gave everybody who walked by a free sample." >>> >>>"They all said the same thing, ‘Hey, this tastes like dog poop’!" >>> >>>"Then I  would say, ‘It is dog poop.

I can't believe I actually watched that whole thing....................... :rofl: :rock: :rock:

Sounds like something Hillary would say!!!!   Like that great remark she made during the Benghazi hearings when she said  "What difference does it make now?"  I'm sure the families that lost Loved ones that night it meant quite a bit............jmho
