Y'all seriously never saw the greatest cop show ever ... 'Sledge Hammer' ???????

It was kind of a lampoon of the Dirty Harry flicks with a touch of 'Hunter' but with a 'Police Squad' twist.

Totally agree. He was hilarious.

Police Squad. Inspector Drebin was THE guy. If you don't know "Axe Cop" you really don't know who's out to protect us.

"Only $15/week" ... (like our other bills?)

"not available in stores" (no Ollie's out your way?)

"Women like it when you do that."

"We're National leaders. They take what we give 'em, Vladimir. Now, give us a kiss and I'll be on my way."

Women who think THEY have been the ones kissing frogs.

"SOME assembly required."

Every electronic problem is referred to as a short, when usually it's an open! .

And the customer with their new found expertise in electronics by announcing 'it's the resistor'.

And the customer with their new found expertise in electronics by announcing 'it's the resistor'.

These days...it's more like "it's either the power supply card, the wireless card, the display card or maybe the tuner card..."

Remember years ago all the high mpg gimmicks for cars like water injection and gas additives.

Water injection did increase power and milage,,,some times,,,,but,,,,you could get same results slowly pouring a Coke (no imitations or fruit flavors,thank you) bottle of water through air intake. Well maybe an RC or Nehi bottle would do in a pinch.
It only worked according to how bad valves and head were carboned up. My cars didn't need it because I blew the soot out on a regular basis.:checkeredflag: Did you ever take your dad's car out and blow the soot out for him?

That is downright untrue,insulting and uncalled for.

You must be a derailer

There are no GOMS (Grumpy Old Man Syndrom) on TBN

"I'll do it this weekend."

"I won't forget."

"You sat here and watched it with us." (talked 'over it' the whole 10 min I stayed)

IPhone keyboards are user-friendly.

"caps lock" button is something we really need.

/pine, are you an Amiga hobbyist too, or just Commodore 64? "card?"

I'm saying exactly the same. But the myth is that dismounting a cylinder, turning it around, and remounting it will cause the stronger and weaker forces to change direction.

I've heard this kind of statement many times, but it is wrong. "That's a nice dump trailer you made. But if you turned that cylinder around it would lift more."

Ah. I see what you mean now. Sorta talking about 2 different things... Yes extension is extension, no matter how you point it. I can see how someone could be confused by that.

Don稚 leave a car battery directly on a concrete floor.

I was thinking of the battery on the concrete floor right away, but it was already posted. It seems the opposite is true, the concrete mass stabilizes the temperature in the battery and makes it last longer.
