LOL Ponder! Did you make that Hula Hoop picture of Smithers??? I LOVE IT!!! That is so funny!!! Go ahead and market it....I'll buy it!
Green Acres - Thanks for the jokes...They were a hoot!
macca....keep on countin' and clickin' -
About Nascar - I too was a fan years ago...back in the day when the average joe could buy a ticket for $23.95 (which we thought was pricey) and before they took racing out of N. Wilkesboro where a lot of those fellas started out running moonshine. Harry Gant and the Skoal Bandit was my pick! #33!

Yep..........just 243 hits to go before Christmas !!!!!!!!!!!
Monty figgered out yesterday that each youngin' is worth $400 worth of goods when clearin' customs. He never realized his Monti-ficating would be worth so much. Them customs dudes still are strugglin' with the mana, deer cigarettes, and vociferous Mexican masssages (didn't know you could bring them home!!!). The boy is doin' some plannin'.
Love the "Ponderapond Beer Belly & Invadaspace Protector". Better patent that one !!
Those Were The Dayzzzz, Oh Yes Those Were The Dayzzzz

Cracker, we could do a whole thread (is that the word I mean?) on the good ole days of racin'... Back in the days when it was just some good ole boys trying to outdo each other. Before they realized there was mucho $$$$ to be made!!!!!!!!!!!
I can remember Fireball Roberts (I was just a young'in but he was my first favorite.) I had several, changing only when they were no longer racing for whatever reason, but could never get back into it after Davey Allison was killed in the helicopter crash... That was more than 12 years ago, and I just haven't had the heart for it any more. Plus the sport has changed. Jeff Gordon was the beginning of the end. They learned they could market that look and persona. If I had to choose a favorite now it'd probably be Junior or Tony, but they're getting sanitized too.

 It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas.....
Can't get me anymore Steve-O!
You know I saw a Garfield cartoon once....Garfield is standing outside a closet and is holding a coat hanger...
He flings the coat hanger into the closet
When he opens the closet, the coat hangers have multiplied and filled the closet
I am thinking that Monty might have some coathanger blood in him.... Last edited on Dec 24th, 2005 01:25 pm by Cracker Jax

Yes I made the pic complete with the 1970 style suspenders that my dad had and probably still has.  We need to come up wit a sweet name for that thing that has a nice ring to it.

Okay, guys, even though we've had our "word for the day" -- "personal space" -- I liked Merriam's for today, so I'm including it. We like luminaries.... I didn't realize it was of Mexican origin. Learn something new every day.... Might as well. If you're alive, might as well keep in interesting.
The Word of the Day for December 24 is:
luminaria • \loo-muh-NAIR-ee-uh\ • noun
: a traditional Mexican Christmas lantern originally consisting of a candle set in sand inside a paper bag
Example sentence:
More than one neighborhood in our Texas town is lit by luminarias lining the streets for the annual Christmas Stroll.
Did you know?
"Luminaria" is a fairly recent addition to English; the earliest known use in our language dates from 1949, about the time that the old Mexican Christmas custom was gaining popularity among Anglo-Americans. In some parts of the U.S., particularly New Mexico, these festive lanterns are also called "farolitos," which means "little lanterns" in Spanish. We borrowed "luminaria" from Spanish, but the word has been around with exactly the same spelling since the days of Late Latin. The term ultimately traces to the classical Latin "luminare," meaning "window," and to "lumen," meaning "light." It is related to other light-bearing words such as "luminary," "illuminate," and "phillumenist" (a fancy name for someone who collects matchbooks).

Hey, macca!
I'm glad to hear you're a NASCAR fan! Did you ever get into drag racing? Young Pappy used to go to Rockingham every now and then. My hero was Dale Pulde and the War Eagle. Funny Cars were my favorite!

Pappy! Dig those dance moves! (You know what they say about men who are good dancers....)
I never got into drag racing, but my sister and her family did! Her (now ex-) husband did some racing himself, but just for fun, I think... Others in my family still follow, but it never made any sense to me. A lot of trouble for a little payoff, I think. Kind of like eating crabs or lobsters.

Yeah Steve that’s a good one. I have already got a starter beer belly going so that’s probably gonna work out just fine.
Oh for you guys who want some Road Rage flash cards for the next holiday, go to Roadrage.com and check out that booklet. (Caution if foul language offends you, you might want to skip that road rage link)
I bought it for my brother and a few other friends last year but my Bro is the only one that uses it on a regular basis.
Cracka did the UPS man ever come with your new gadget/ present?

Yeah, a lot of trouble for not much payoff, but MAN! Young Pappy had a 66 Mercury that he rebuilt one summer. Finally got it running, didn't have a license plate or mufflers, but I couldn't resist giving it a quick test drive. Ran out of gas in front of a highway patrolman's house! Pappy had some dance moves that day! Ran to the gas station, filled it up and was gone in 60seconds, just like Vin Diesel. Pappy's older and wiser now. Well, older anyway. Pappy's energy is gone in 60 seconds now.

Dang, Ponder. You must be doin' somethin' wrong, son!
Actually, it does that to me sometimes too. But I'm used to that kind of rejection.
