Don't watch this if you're even a little bit afraid of heights!

You wouldn't get me up there.

joannie

Up didn't seem to be the problem; but down looked like it would be a little rough.

HRQ

Dang. I was expecting to see a photo of a certain Forumite standing next to a vehicle that looks like a station wagon pretending to be a pick up truck.

ray a

Funny, we were kind of thinking alike.

allsteaks

The pickup really is a pickup but the Forumite you speaketh of may have scared away the faint of heart!!
If I'm reading you post correctly that is.

HRQ

I think Jim drinks in the mornings...

Q, is it the forumite who is standing next to the station wagon the one who is pretending to be a pickup truck? How does one pretend to be a truck? Is he making truck noises? Just trying to understand what you said above.

I would love to have an early 70s El Camino SS with a big honking 454 in it. Make it black. Then I'd scare little girls putting around in Saturn Vue's blowing off their doors.

HRQ

Read the sentence again. There is nothing wrong with my sentence structure. I clearly stated that the station wagon is doing the pretending, not the forumite. Perhaps I should have said the wagon was [b][i]impersonating[/b][/i] a pickup truck. That would have been a better choice of words, and we all know that YOU know all about impersonators, RP. x;-) I will post those photos, if you push me too far.

Little girls driving Saturn Vues blowing off their doors? Why would a Vue driver blow off her own doors? I think it is YOU who drinks in the mornings, not Jim.

El Caminos and Rancheros are ugly. Nothing can change that: not a cool paint job, not a roaring engine, not even pink flames and turbo doors.

[i]Disclaimer: Ray is my friend. All teasing is good natured, not spiteful. Ray is not actually grumpy. Ray is also not a female impersonator, although I can't blame you for thinking he might just be. Ray usually has good taste in cars. Today I am starting to doubt that, but that is OK, I will get him back in line. He is still my friend, as far as I know, anyway. Price does not include taxes and fees. Patent pending. Supplies are limited.[/i]

Not to mention a case of Mt Dew. El Caminos haul.....

An "El Camino" is also one of many affectionate names for a popular men's hairstyle known as the mullet.

Please note that he wore his finest tank top for this photo. Note also the slightly dopey, satisfied smile of a man free from the burden of introspection or employment.

That's a tough enough walk, but to do it while looking through a camcorder viewfinder... that's nuts!

sonny

Not for all the tea in China. . . . . .wonder what the death stats are. .?

ritaanz

Why? Why on this green earth would anyone do that?

Paul made me say that.

ritaanz

Frank what happened to you? I remember you as a nice guy. Are drinking Ray's Mountain Dew?

Paul in Cannon Beach

Don't pull me into your shenanigans, monkeyboy. I think I have shown I can get into trouble enough all by myself.

Frank is feeling feisty because he thinks after this fall the liberals will rule the world, or at least the country. He's hoping for a cabinet position working under Hillary.

Paul in Cannon Beach

Frank e-mailed me privately and told me he is really a life-long card-carrying member of the Republican party and he only pretends to be a liberal to annoy Ray.

ACU Frank

Here's my card...

Paul in Cannon Beach

Sheesh Frank. That website actually charges $100 for a tiny card that reads "Card Carrying Liberal".

I guess that is what happens when liberals run things.

Its cheaper to be a conservative. A compassionate conservative, thank you very much!

HRQ

I think I know where to send my ex on vacation...

Paul in Cannon Beach

If that's the high road people speak of, I am not taking it...

lnelson

how about this place?

Why would anyone want to do that?

cnghr

I've seen that "sky restaurant" thing on t.v. before. I can't imagine why anybody would want to do that. If you hoist me that high up in the air, dangling from a crane, the last thing I'm going to be able to do is eat, much less actually enjoy it!

ACU Frank

Having thought *that* over, I think I'd rather be one of the diners than someone on the ground directly below them!

It reminds me of the time I was watching this bungie jumping rig at a festival. When the rather well-built young lady in the tube top got to the front of the line, several men moved into position to verify the notion that the tube top wouldn't hold as well as the bungie cords.

They were right... but they also got to wear her lunch and a half-dozen beers she had ingested.
