2Kul4Skul was a three-day goof that caught you with your pants down.
Far cry from different names every month.

All I know for sure is that you're a football freak with Chicken

Quit playing around. You tell everyone who you are while telling
them your plans to be anyone else.

Sarcasm can also be used as an evasive manuever.

Sad, sad, sad. So now you re-define a word and I'm a dip**** because I
didn't know your private definition.

I'd say you're the one who doesn't know much. But that's because you
haven't worked on any of your old heaps for 20 years. If you ever were
to get busy with one of them you will find out that a lot can change in
20 years. Everywhere there's a water leak there's rust. All that
weatherstripping that isn't rotten but whatever it is, that's beem
letting rainwater into the doors and rear quarters, all the water
coming into the cowl and collecting in the rockers or getting onto the
floorpans through rusted out ventilation intakes, all the water going
into trunks through backlight seals that aren't rotten but whatever
they are, and weatherstripping that isn't rotten but whatever it is
--you've got rust in all these places.

And just what word are the rest of us supposed to use from now on to
describe 35-40 year old weatherstrip that's cracked, dried up, missing,
and otherwise not sealing, now that we know that only dip****s call it
"rotten"?

Are you asking for a phone number? I'll see if he's interested.

Deflection is your forté. Did you check those headers, as you threatened to
do, and what did you find? Are all Comcast users simply me, posting under
another pseudonym? Are all AOLers really Patrick? And are all twits who post
inanities through SuperNews really just CobraJet having a little fun?

Hey, HE STARTED IT. Hyla101 was an answer, not a ground-breaker. Although, I
must confess, trying to maintain a separate identity was a challenge, even
for this Gemini.

That 2- or 3-year period (way back when) was the high point of RAMFM - the
time that folks always point back to. Patrick was so young, Steve and Mike
ran the show, and CobraJet launched a series of "personalities" that set off
firestorms. (And, yes, the Troll Invasion.)

The latter half of the 90's is to RAMFM what the late 60s/early 70s was to
automotive legend. Now I'm just old.

Eagles fanatic, photography freak, piano player, and professional
graphics/layout exec. There would be more, but I'm also a Law&Order marathon
addict.

And now I'm a Froggy who's found Nirvana in a two-car garage. But it's Day
Seven, and I don't yet have a firm offer on my present home.

I was over at the new place on Thursday for a 2-hour inspection. The garage
appears to be their storage space - there's STUFF crammed around all three
walls. I promised Jean a set of storage shelves in a recess behind where
she's going to park the Escape, but I want the rest of the garage empty,
clean, and pristine. All that stuff that's in there now better be gone by
the time we make settlement. Ah, I have such plans...

It's difficult in a written medium, and I am constantly overestimating my
audience. I'll work on it.
