Foward Reverse is backwards

[MChalkley]

GlueGuy - Thanks for the detailed analysis but if you don't mind I'll wait for the rest of the story from Glennmac before I rent any paint from you... /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif Of course, I'd have to understand his answer, too, so maybe you better just go ahead and rent it to someone else. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Harv - So you're worried about the extra expense of purchasing paint that'll dry, eh? Maybe I'll just trade my EF-5 in on a bigger EarthForce machine, the EF-6. Then, you definitely wouldn' be able to afford the project. Still, it seems like folks are tripping all over themselves trying to get in on the job, so you shouldn't be worried about that. Before it's over, you'll have half the TBN membership contributing...

Hmm--3pt paint sprayer--interesting possibilities.

I DO KNOW that this is a great site/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif i don't know how it got from froward is reverse to the merits of 4wd, to renting pink paint?/w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif reminds me of the abbott and costello routine"who's on first" /w3tcompact/icons/hmm.gif. i do know that i don't care what size the tractor, if it has 4wd it is better than the same with 2 wd. OR DON'T I KNOW WHAT I DON'T KNOW? and there is an awful lot i don't know/w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

I think I know I'm getting a headache....or...am I, I don't know...maybe it's all in my head /w3tcompact/icons/hmm.gif . What do you think?? Or do you know?

This thread is certainly an interesting peregrination of non-sequiturs. I can't help commenting on Mark's tirade to the effect that one should not have opinions on the usefulness of a thingamabob unless one owns a thingamabob. Under that logic, Ghandi could not have had an opinion on anything. The Pope could not have an opinion on harems. Lincoln could not have had an opinion on slaves. Einstein could not have had an opinion on black holes. Bill Clinton could not have an opinion on 38D cups. And Mark could not have an opinion of Bill Clinton. Of course, I really don't know if I know the underlying knowledge of Mark's knowing statement--and ignorance is bliss.

I've always read Mark's comments to mean that he places more weight on the opinions of those who have owned a thingamabob more than those who have not.

Bill might not have 'owned' them, but he borrowed a set for a while. /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

glennmac - There may be more than coincidence in the fact that all of your examples, accurate and effective as they were, were centered around morals, ethics and conscience (excluding 38D cups, of course), whereas mine were centered around mechanical devices. Unless you made the quite understandable mistake of assuming a thingamajigger, never having seen one, was a moral principle. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

MikePa, however, highlighted the jist of what I was getting at. I should've had him say the first time. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

So, are you still in a blissful state? /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Only if he's still thinking about 38D cups. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

I think a pink EF5 would be so noticable, a thief would leave it alone, but Mary Kay sales people might ask to borrow it in real bad weather.
