I'm extremely serious! So serious that at this moment, I'm speaking with a well-known modder who's also interested in the idea! This is happening

Aw you gotta let the pioneer get in on this

 

[rwechsler]

OMG, not only is he serious, he has figured out a way to do it. This is kind of scarey.

and exciting.....but still, I am thinking you might be pulling our leg a bit?

EDIT: just read your last post. Now, I am getting excited. You do know that Hill Giant made the
video as a joke, right?

Not pulling your leg at all! I'm serious about this, I think it could be really cool!

Aw you gotta let the pioneer get in on this

I've gotten 2 warnings now for discussing "outside issues" b/c I posted pics of some beautiful glass art that I wanted a drip tip designed off of, so I've gotta tread lightly and cover my bases! The irony here is that I'm actually a friend of Bill, have abstained from drugs/drink for close to 2 and a 1/2 years now, and am actually in school at UCLA to become certified as an alcohol and drug addiction counselor!

A simple poem that I received in an email today...

The More
By Jan Rice

The more you give,
The more you get -
The more you laugh,
The less you fret -
The more you do unselfishly,
The more you live abundantly –
The more of everything you share,
The more you’ll always have to spare –
The more you love,
The more you’ll find that life is good and friends are kind –
For only what we give away, enriches us from day to day.

A woman and a man are involved in a car accident; it's a bad one. Both of
their cars are totally demolished but amazingly neither of them are hurt.

After they crawl out of their cars, the woman says, "So you're a man; that's
interesting. I'm a woman. Wow, just look at our cars! There's nothing left,
but fortunately we are unhurt. This must be a sign from God that we should
meet and be friends and live together in peace for the rest of our days."

Flattered, the man replied, "Oh yes, I agree with you completely! This must
be a sign from God!"

The woman continued, "And look at this, here's another miracle. My car is
completely demolished but this bottle of wine didn't break. Surely God wants
us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune."

Then she hands the bottle to the man. The man nods his head in agreement,
opens it and drinks half the bottle and then hands the it back to the woman.
The woman takes the bottle, immediately puts the cap back on, and hands it
back to the man.

The man asks, "Aren't you having any?"

The woman replies, "No. I think I'll just wait for the police."

 

[Torqueguy]

Ouch! That one hurt Stormy!

I like the one about the guy that tries to out run the cop.

The cop chases him til the man runs out of gas.

The cop gets out with his gun drawn and says "get out of the car"

The man replies, "sir, I can explain, my wife ran away with a police officer last month and I thought you were trying to return her"

Ok, ok, I know, it's an old one, but so am I!

A prisoner on a life sentence had been digging for 15 years. Finally one day he breaks the surface, looking around he sees that he's in the middle of a playground. "I'M FREE! I'M FREE!" he shouts. A little girl standing nearby shouts back, "BIG DEAL, I'M 4!!"
