You are all very funny and I recognize at least one of you from both real life and an additional site of cyberlife.

Question: Is this an equal opportunity club? As in men and women?

Can't be me; I don't have a real life. And yes, we are equal (except for those morons I disagree with).

It's geowit - we met at last year's Jim Thorpe Run and we both frequent another site called NEMINI.org on which my name is the longer version of the Otra acronym. LynnEI, you've got a good sense of humor.

geowit, I think you can still be a member even if you're not "ready to eat dirt" plus we know you're much too busy driving to do that.

You are not with the FBI are you?

Doesn't matter to me about the man/woman thing. I'm not really interested in either one anymore. Sure has relieved a lot of tension!

Nope no clandestine ops for me. But regarding that last statement - is mandatory for the OFMC or is it optional? I am laughing!

Who's talking about a distributor?

You sir, cannot be an official old fart! An OOF would know that SU Electric Fuel pumps used to have points in them!

Yep & an old fart would know to hit the carp out of it with your knock off hammer when it dies in the middle of downtown Hooterville at rush our.

What does SU mean you ask? Simple, Seemingly Useless.

Oh, it's vintage British. Anything like those old Lucas switches that had two positions -- off and flicker?

Why do the British drink warm beer? Lucas refrigerators.
What do you find when you move a Lucas refrigerator? An oil spot.
