duct tape and zip ties fix everything

 

Whoaaaaaa there LtRex.! Do you think that we all just fell off the turnip truck? Just like Miniola said, why can't we try to keep the faith and enjoy each other's company? Why does this offend you so? I think there are a few beers left, go have one and relax... If Apple is really busy this holiday why would you, or anyone else want to hurt her feelings or risk upsetting her and ruining it for skillet?

I like believing, I believe in good karma, I believe in looking younger than your age, I believe that people really do win the lottery and I also believe ...it ain't over til the fat lady sings!!

And speaking of that I have eaten WAAAAAY too much and the holidays aren't even over yet. And just to show how old I am, my husband and I are thinking of starting the Scarsdale Diet after my family leaves and things are back to normal.

 

That really sucks. I mean really, really sucks.

On another note, and somewhat related: Would you rather make the fix, or garage your baby all winter long?

I've noted from another thread, that garaging the MINI is popular to protect it from damage, but where I live... if I did that I'd only drive Viola for about three months out of the year, and I don't think I could live with that.

What say you Free Classic Mini folk?

 

 

"As the Mini turns" will continue as long as WE BELIEVE... I don't hear any fat ladies singing!!!!

Skillet, bummer about the bumper! (say that 10 times really fast after drinking what number of beers are left on the wall)...

back to the age thing, You only as old as you act! so i'm still quite young and my MINI just made me younger!

Pass the Tums please...

If you think that I am offended by the notion of someone receiving something as a kind gesture in ANY way, you are very much mistaken! Why you would ever come to the opinion that I find this whole idea offensive is simply insane!

And Miniola writes:

"You're totally bumming me out, man! I had wondered why you rolled your eyes on # whatever post... "............. "I don't understand why you want everyone to know that you are right and have been from the beginning. "

 

I am not the sharpest pencil in the box, but I can read the writing on the wall. Regardless of what some of you may think, I am a very kind, giving person. I have been earning a living since 1977 by serving either in the military or law enforcement; why, cause I don't like people being victimized.

That being said, I hope the Classic Mini appears. In the mean time, before you think its time to criticize me, read this thread again and direct your energy in the correct direction!

 

LtRex, no hard feelings. I've had my share of skeptics over here on my end (in person).

Drum roll please: Martha leaves the 27th



Sandy's been busy, and she says as soon as Martha is in the air, "we can get on with the plan"

 

Skillet,

That is a great plane GIF!!

Let's get Martha in the air, or DRUNK!

 

SKILLET,

Hey buddy, believe me (!), I would love nothing more than to sign on one day and see a picture of you standing beside your new Classic! I hope that happens!!!!!!

 

I think we all just want the holiday magic to happen for skillet, so no offense taken (at least from me). It would just be too cool to see someone get such a gift. I'll be the first to admit I am ignoring certain facets and just

@miniola - I laughed at that incident for the rest of the day, and shared it pretty much with everyone. Those "revelation" moments are rare, indeed.

 

PARTY TIME!!!

 

You said it and that is where the rest of us are right now, also. Pages back Skillet was told it would happen until after the Holidays! So you are reading the "commercials". We are waiting for the show to continue.
Merry Christmas to you too and grab some popcorn and join in - won't you? We are all sending good vibes to Skillet....
Ready for the holidays? What branch of the Miltary?

 

More christmas cheer !

 

OMG SpitfireMKI, how in the world did you unearth that video of Gemgirl, Miniola and myself???

 

what code are you guys using to embed video's ?

 

Yeah how did you get it that video of us I thought that was locked away!
by the way i had to return the wreath and ***** after that dance!!!

 

 

Such an epic thread...

I've got my fingers crossed for you skillet! If it can happen at any time of year, it will happen at this one. I'm sure Christmas Magic will come through!

 

 

To embed video from YouTube, you must get the number from the video and put it between the following code:

(YOUTUBE)XXXXXX(/YOUTUBE) <---- replace ( and ) with [ and ].

You can find the number at the end of the URL of the YouTube video.

For instance, the video below is at the url:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHtgXi-B9dA

The number you would put is VHtgXi-B9dA.

 

Tim Burton style christmas music (who happens to be friend of the family )

 

here is one of my all time fav's

 

cabwy- The rule was... if one from the group got caught she's not allowed to disclose anyone else's identity.

I'm not admitting to any part of that!

Well ok, so I kept the ***** but the that's it. Wreath too small to cover junk in the trunk.

Spitfire- this was scary! It was like the Latino version of KISS combined with Gillman (Creature From the Black Lagoon) and I was expecting Nacho Libre to jump out in his leotard and tights and scare us with his too tight tights. Yuck-y! Thanks for not putting us through that.

And Santa exclaimed as he drove out of sight...
FREE Mini's to ALL...
And to all a good night!

And BTW- Lt.Rex- we still need some kind of story about when you realized you were old.

Merry Festivus (Funny... Seinfeld... also about nothing but about everything!)

 

That means one of you is "Angie", one "Tara" and the other "Helen"

That equals the Pontani Sisters ! MMMMMmmmmmmm ! Yahoo !
