Ugh, Frannie just pronounced Orono "ah-RON-oh" in The Stand. For crying out loud, it's Stephen King's alma mater. Couldn't his son (one of the producers) have done him the courtesy of insisting she say it right? For shame.

(FYI, it's "OR-un-noh.")

Per your FYI, maybe Orono should have been spelt Orunno. And why did you add a 2nd "n"? Shouldn't it be "OR-un-oh"?

I would ask Frannie, specifically because she said she didn't do it. Usually the kid who "says" they didn't do it "did it". ;) :D

BTW, The Stand sounds familiar. Never saw it.

    The Stand is Steven King.

    I actually ended up mixing some a few hours ago. 3% Peach Gummy, 0.5% White Peach, and 0.75% FA Pear. I've used the FA Pear a few times before and really like it for adding sweetness and juiciness to a mix.
    That sounds good. Is that the whole recipe? Or did I miss something?

    Friends insisted i go with them to do Route 66,none of them did it before ( i had 2 times already) and they wanted me and my English speaking skills (none of them spoke a lick of English).
    So i kinda had them in the grasp of my hand to ask for what i wanted,well...i told them i would go only and if only we rented out a 1958 Plymouth Fury to do the trip.

    Lo and behold they agreed so my 3rd Route 66 trip was done with that marvelous...beautiful...spectacular vehicle ;)
    Is that the trip where you and the police officer pranked your friends?

    My very first car (1976) was a 1969 Plymouth Fury III. Similar to this one.

    It shouldnt be hard...I guess the previous installer had overtighten them....hope u didn't tighten them a lot now cause I guess you gonna change them the next time :p

    The plugs were tight but it was the long plug boots that go down into the valve cover that were a pain.

    Nope,that was my second trip.
    In that one we were 5 so we rented in Chicago a Cadillac Impala convertible,can't remember the year of the car thou,think it was a 58' or 59'.

    Still remember my first car,was in High school in Canada and just got my license,pops took me back to the front of the restaurant we owned and showed me my first car:

    1.jpg


    A 1970 Chevy Nova,cost him like 350 bucks (back in 1992),he got it from a client of our restaurant that owned a car dealership.

    Best advice my pops gave me is: don't be a dumb kid and get a new char when you just get your drivers license, get a used one...use it,abuse it,make mistakes and learn properly to drive.
    After a couple of years sure get a new care but a new car just when you get your license? no way jose.

    True story,friend of mine from high school got a Dodge Viper as his first car...well he was a ..... and a showboat...hit to much gas,lost control and hit one of those garbage pails made with cement with a plastic cover (to take out the bag) it actually tore it off the sidewalk and crashed thru the window of a restaurant.

    Thankfully no one was seriously hurt but after that i went to my friend's home,talked to his had dad...and to his face i called him a mormon (remove the m in the middle,don't know why that word is censored) hehe

    Yep,totally agree.


    The Bachman Books? totally a must read for everyone,specially the long walk and the running man.
    Schwarzenegger's version of the running man? total disgrace...i hated it.


    And i am a HUGE Stephen King fan,just so you get an idea of how much of a fan i am let me tell you this.

    King and I voted in the same polling place in Bangor. Saw him there a couple of times.

    I can confirm that he is tall.

    Once I got the first one off and grabbed a new plug, I realized that the auto parts store gave me the wrong ones. They were almost twice as long and not as big in diameter. So I took them back and got the right ones and finished the job.
    I am always surprised if I work on a car and don't bleed a little (and curse a lot) Did it run better? How did the old plugs look?

    I noticed a few minutes ago that I screwed up my rendition of the pronunciation and have edited accordingly (to "OR-uh-noh"). Unfortunately, my mistake has been captured in various quotations of my post, so my shocking error will live on.

    I'm sure our Fran knows I was talking about the character Frances Goldsmith in Stephen King's The Stand, but I hereby offer a heartfelt apology for my unintended slur. She's a compassionate woman. I have a feeling she'll forgive me.

    I felt like it ran better. The new plugs measured about .035 and some of the old ones measured as high as .050. They were dirty but no real deposits or anything on them.

    Of course I forgive you. Was just my attempt at silly.
