Off-topic Talk Where overpaid, underworked S2000 owners waste the worst part of their days before the drive home. This forum is for general chit chat and discussions not covered by the other off-topic forums.

The best threads on this site are either in The Dumpster or The Back Lot, except
possibly this gem (even allowing the glaring errors), but I am biased.

Then we have the stutlifyingly stupid use of so called acronyms such as LOL, and ROFL.

This goes beyond brain dead and into the area of brain removed.

Al worked for me for a time but really had no idea of what was being done, he kept muttering about inventing "the intercourse" and "global warbling". His people have helped him enormously since that time and he now sells the absence of carbon all over the world.

And before you (continue to) mock me - I have never once worn tinfoil and do not know a single word of Klingon.

By the way, the project car - and I know everyone is as excited as I am - is now running, whoopee etc, there will be pictorial representations soon.

Splendid. Now, we've thoroughly gone into the proverbial weeds, topic-wise.
