The Coffee Shop / "Mission Impossible" squirrel!
« on: February 21, 2011, 05:54:55 pm »
The Mission Impossible Squirrel
This takes place in East Texas near Lovelady. The owner of the yard added each piece of the Rube Goldberg contraption slowly so that when the squirrel learned one section and got the nuts, they added another section. Finally, it ended with what you see on the video! It took place over two-weeks to get to this point.
Darn, those East Texas squirrels are something else.

The Coffee Shop / A Pirate goes into the seaport tavern....
« on: February 21, 2011, 05:30:51 pm »
SO, A PIRATE WALKED INTO A BAR .. . ..
A pirate walked into a bar, and the bartender said, "Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. What happened ? You look terrible."
"What do you mean?" said the pirate, "I feel fine."
"What about the wooden leg? You didn't have that before."
"Well," said the pirate, "We were in a battle, and I got hit with a cannon ball, but I'm fine now."
The bartender replied, "Well, OK, but what about that hook? What happened to your hand?"
The pirate explained, "We were in another battle. I boarded a ship and got into a sword fight. My hand was cut off. I got fitted with a hook but I'm fine, really."
"What about that eye patch?"
"Oh," said the pirate, "One day we were at sea, and a flock of birds flew over. I looked up, and one of them pooped in my eye."
"You're kidding," said the bartender.
"You couldn't lose an eye just from bird poop."
"It was my first day with the hook."

She replies, "Dr. it is 'Miss Jones"...

"Well then, 'Miss Jones', I have some distressing news for you!"

The Coffee Shop / WHY guys prefer 'guns' over WOMEN!!!!
« on: February 19, 2011, 12:35:03 am »
#10 - You can trade an old 44 for 2 new 22's.
#9 - You can keep one gun at home and have another for when you're on the road.
#8 - If you admire a friend's gun and tell him so, he will probably let you try it out a few times.
#7 - Your primary gun doesn't mind if you keep another gun for a backup.
#6 - Your gun will stay with you even if you run out of ammo.
#5 - A gun doesn't take up a lot of closet space.
#4 - Guns function normally every day of the month.
#3 - A gun doesn't ask , "Do these new grips make me look fat?"
#2 - A gun doesn't mind if you go to sleep after you use it.
And the Number One reason
Why Men Prefer Guns over women.....
#1 - You can buy a silencer for a gun !

General Scroll Saw Talk / NEW Source!!!!
« on: February 16, 2011, 09:59:40 pm »
Today i was in the vicinity of the "Habitat for Humanity" ReStore in our fair metropolis....
IF you live in a large metropolitan area and the local "Habitat For Humanity" organization has a "ReStore" outlet then please check it out for the following!
I purchased some Bamboo flooring strips for $.75 each...
Some 400 grit sandpaper, best of the grade for $2.00 for 3 sheets of 9 x 12
A clamp on work light that retails for $6.95 at H-D for $.75
Those of you with 'planers' can get flooring strips that can be planed down for less that $1.00 each...
The place is full of bargains!
I will be keeping an eye out for a double door system to replace my sliding patio door...the one I saw today was only $200 and the comparable door at Lowes that I priced recently was $825.00!
There are bargains to be had, folks...we just have to search for them!

The Coffee Shop / Be Careful when being a Good Samaritan!
« on: February 16, 2011, 05:03:41 pm »Did you hear about the guy who was in a bar about as drunk as it's
possible to get.
A group of guys notice his condition and decide to be good
Samaritans and take him home. First they stand him up to get to his wallet so they
can find out where he lives, but he keeps falling down.
He fell down eight more times on the way to the car, each time with a
real thud.
After they get to his house, he falls down another four times getting
him to the door.
His wife comes to the door, and one guy says, "We brought your
husband home."
The wife asks, "Where's his wheelchair?"
