re: Pros vs Joes

Posted by gumbo2176 on 5/22/24 at 8:57 am
I like watching some 6 yr. out of high school former athlete who didn't even get a scholarship in spots try to go against retired pros. Reminds me of the "Married With Children" episode where Al is filming a sports commercial and gets beaned by Steve Carlton, used as a tackling dummy by Ed "Tool ...

[quote]I am actually a lot more surprised when NFL players don’t go broke. It’s the culture.[/quote] Same with a lot of retired boxers who earned huge sums of money during their careers. Mike Tyson earned $685 million in his career and filed for bankruptcy in 2003. Evander Holyfield earned ...

I found it entertaining even though not very accurate in the portrayal of boot camp during the WWII era-----or any era for that matter. In my opinion "Full Metal Jacket" nailed boot camp in that era of time with R. Lee Ermey as the Drill Sgt. and the rigors he put his recruits through....

That "TV World" one with Liberace made me laugh. What he'd want in a woman is all the so-called "Trans Women" of today's culture. You know, chicks with dicks. True story. One of my aunts loved Liberace and she absolutely refused to believe he was gay. Hell, even my 10 yr. old self knew ...

Daube. Slice it thick, make a red gravy and let it cook down for a good couple hours and then add the meat to cook down for another hour or more. I find the longer you cook a red gravy, the more mellow it gets and it's not as acidic. Eat that over pasta and make garlic bread and a nice sal...

re: Best trap for outdoor rats?

Check out the traps made with 5 gallon buckets half full of water, a wood ramp and a stiff wire from one side the top of the bucket to the other with soda cans skewered on it and covered in peanut butter. U-tube has a lot of videos on this type trap. Rodents climb up the ramp and try to access ...

re: Wood Ceiling choices?

Posted by gumbo2176 on 5/20/24 at 11:49 am
Yep, T&G pine would be my choice. You can either stain and finish it with some type urethane or just finish it without stain, or prime and paint. Personally, I'd opt for unstained with a satin polyurethane finish to see the natural grain of the wood. ...
[quote] Are the daily "its hot" threads already starting?[/quote] I'm left wondering how many of those posters never had A/C growing up or attended school without A/C. I graduated in 70 and not a single school I went to from K-12 had A/C and lived in an old shotgun house that had no A/C----...
