General Discussion / Soccer has a chance!
July 09, 2010, 04:38:13 am
Yes, I finally believe that soccer will become a major sport here in the good old USA, quite possibly bigger than any other sport.

Why? 1 hour on ESPN last night was dedicated to watching LeBron James say that he is going to play for the Miami Heat.

Pro sports here in the USA is no longer about sports and competition. It's about money. Not just money for the players, but for the owners, politicians, and other peripheral people.

The sad part of it all, for those of us who have to go to work today and pay taxes, is that pro sports in the USA is being subsidized with hundreds of millions of tax payer dollars, and enhanced by anti trust and monopoly exemptions.

Yee haw! Go LeBron!

General Discussion / It's Friday... Yippee!
July 02, 2010, 03:52:44 pm
Bubba had long heard the stories of an amazing family tradition.  It seems
that his father, grandfather and great-grandfather had all been able to
walk on water on their 21st birthday.  On that special day, they'd each walked
across the lake to the bar on the far side for their first legal drink.

So when Bubba's 21st birthday came 'round, he and his pal Jim Bob took a
boat out to the middle of the lake, Bubba stepped out of the boat ...and
nearly drowned!  Jim Bob just barely managed to pull him to safety.

Furious and confused, Bubba went to see his grandmother.

'Grandma,' he asked, 'it's my 21st birthday, so why can't I walk 'cross the
lake like my pappy, his father, and his father before him?'

Granny looked deeply into Bubba's troubled eyes and said, 'Because your
father, your grandfather and your great grandfather were born in January, when
the lake is frozen, and you were born in July, you dumb a$$.'

General Discussion / I know it's not Friday

I've seen this before and just happened to run across it again.

I wish all commercials were this clever.

It has nothing to do with upholstery, weather, oil slicks, cod, snuggling, etc. It's just so dawn cute!

General Discussion / double sided tape
June 16, 2010, 05:25:39 pm
Hello,

Does anyone use double sided tape, down the sides, for the outside back on furniture? I use metal tack strips.

Check out this video: corner pleat at 1:50 (no double sided tape but interesting), and the double sided tape at 2:10.
