^ that reminds of DGs I've seen in areas of rural Ohio...outside small towns, in the middle of nowhere I've seen DGs..and the Misny billboard is definitely a Cleveland staple.

Moi aussi. J'ai toujours voulu visiter Montréal et Berthiersville (je veux voir le musée Gilles Villeneuve).

How come oldshurst442 never calls me "mon cher ami"?

If you like Ford trucks, tough to watch...

Top measuring tape is made by someone with dyslexia  

Very sad no matter who the maker is to have new auto's get hit due to a stupid semi truck driver. Wonder where this moron was that he thought he could block the tracks.

Wonder how much damage was on the train.

I used to work for a company that did refrigeration and HVAC work for DG. I have been paid to drive a ton of Ohio back roads getting to them. Was not a bad gig.

I like that color, along with Area 51 which looks a lot like TRD blue.

The Bronco looks very good as a base model. Which is the one I would want, because it comes with steel wheels, which are easily repaired if they are damaged off road. 

[Robert Hall]

I like the steelies also.  Really looking forward to seeing one in person up close.

Be interesting to see as the Ford pic looks to be a photoshop into the desert picture and true sunlight plays games on the blue/grey look especially on my Son's Jeep. Comparison is they might be close in color.

Chevrolet fans, want a Raptor equal? Yes you can as PaxPower now builds the Chevrolet Jackal as a Raptor Beating truck for those that want the ultimate off road Chevrolet Truck.

 

 

PaxPower Jackal the answer to the missing 442?

PaxPower V8 Raptor Diesel Raptor F150 Jackal SIlverado Ranger Raptor

Course some might like PaxPower Raptor conversion on the Ranger.

Thoughts on what a Russian companies idea for a two door Body on Frame blazer or K5 would sell?

William McKinley survived the Battle of Antietam (Sharpsburg) , the bloodiest day in American history, fighting near Burnside Bridge only to be shot by an assassin nearly 39 years later. Sometimes life's not fair.

[balthazar]

^ I dunno; it'd've been a lot more unfair if it was 39 days later.

Life is definitely not fair.  There are so many examples of this but one that really disturbs me is that a person who survived the 9/11 WTC attack died 2 months later when that flight between JFK Airport in NYC and somewhere in Latin America crashed in the borough of Queens.  Clearly, horrible for everyone in both events, but you want to cheer on a person who survived 9/11 to embrace life going forward after such trauma.

On a better note, it is very cool to open the mailbox and have a $6.99 Great Clips coupon staring at you right about when you are thinking of getting a haircut.

Its kinda sad...for his family. He the phoquer, if he drank and drove his car and killed his family...he deserved a life of hell a lot WORSE than just living in a garbage can, in a street called Sesame.  

Sesame is not a place for such a monster. A place full of innocent, adorable children learning ABCs and 123s. 

 

[oldshurst442]

Speaking of Sesame Street.

THIS is why censorship is NOT a good idea.  And the way we politicize and weaponize words nowadays for our own hidden agendas, the truth just gets eroded away until there is no more truth...

This video was done with humour when the dude done it a decade plus ago.  But in 2021, its scary...    I laughed hard, but then I thought about it...and Im legit worried about what our future holds if we dont smarten up...

The Count...

Count (Dracula).  Well...he counts stuff.  Anything and everything. To help kids learn their numbers.

 

The original song. But I bet you thought of another word, right?   Funny AF (as fuc BLEEP)  But with what is going on in today's political fake news world and ultra sensitive offended culture we are cultivating...     Scary AF!

Who ever bleeped out the word count feeling it brought back old cast systems of Count's who thought they were better than average people needs to see a shrink for mental help. 

THANK YOU, this is a basic song and clearly aimed at kids learning to count.

Curiosity, where is this bleeped version from as I honestly would not think it would be here in the US or Canada was it?

 Well...THAT is THE joke.

Bleep out the word 'count' on purpose to make it sound like The Count is well... for the shytes and giggles. 

I took that to a darker place than what it was intended originally.      Today's world is messin' with my mind!
