I would have to actually do stuff that would cause bodily harm to win the award and since blasting away at the keyboard isn't dangerous enough I will be unlikely to win the award

I have done many, many stupid things and hurt myself many, many times. But much like the Highlander, it would seem I am immortal.

There can be only one.

Giving the award to threads loses its appeal after 1000.  Then it's just sad.  Which is still funny.

I can now nominate myself (almost)
I just dragged my unfinished cab indoors (building took place outside the house, 15 meters away)
With no one to help me, and 10 meters of grain terrain between the cab and house, I decided rolling the cab on two boards, replacing them, fore and aft.

For one thing, the ---smurfette--- is heavy.
For the second, dark clouds above were just perfect for getting an award.

Luckily, It did not rain. I wonder if I would have posted here anything if it would have.

Not unless you left it out there.

The cabs can get wet, they can get hosed down and cleaned with water.  You just can't saturate them.

I wonder who wiped your asses and drooling when you were 150 posts old. or do you get it done now also when you're 6500 posts old - down geriatric lane.

Why don't admit for once that

sometimes there's a man who, wal,

he fits right in there--and that's

When you start your own website, playing god is one of the priveledges that comes with the starter kit. 

Now everybody stop talking to c64 so he gets back to working on his cab.  I wanna see it get finished before he achieves a banning.  He's not grasping that the guy who pays for things makes the rules whether you like it or not.

listen = mp3 jukebox

manage = roms\emulators manager

actual frontend size is 800x600
