Grace Delete / DefaultUser / WorldsWorstDomainer will personally thank EVERY SINGLE post in this thread UNTIL someone says something about post count and gets too obsessed about reputations and starts gaming the system etc.

^ That has happened so no more ...was fun while it lasted.

Johname will personally LIKE every post in this thread until he doesn't

No racist, sexist, homophobic material that woudnt be acceptable in the 70s please.
We are ok with boobs and we are ok with men with abs (or whatever it is that makes them attractive). Ogling is healthy. Violence, not accepting that it is shallow and non-meaninful judge of people etc. is not. The most important virtue of this thread is respect for all.

Here are some topics that this thread has had:

333491.jpg


cars+and+girls2.jpg


formula-1-cars.jpg


a-lot-of-dogs.jpg


The following subjects are
BANNED

1383930930_kim-kardashian-560.jpg


So Kardashian related material is not allowed - even gratuitous boobs or bums because no one wants to see or hear about them.
your-political-views-democrat-republican-politics-obama-libe-demotivational-poster-1241176580.jpg

POLITICS OF ANY KIND IS A NO NO.
Especially if it is demeaning to the liberal elite or the conservative morons.

I suppose Anarchy is ok

I AM PERSONALLY UNDECIDED ON SOME POLITICS so things like the below?
I think the crowd should decide.

good to see you JN

She just happens to be one of some poppers I follow, like this dude
Wow- good to see popping still alive and well, freaking awesome video! Pulled in the fam to watch him, simply amazing. Made me remember, scrolled thru some of my old youtube bookmarks, found this dude


Then before attack, they usually do ancient herding calls:
LOL nice

Now that ice water dip..campfire afterwards, still in bathing suit. Hardcore. Wonder if it would entice Bri to go for one last polar bear dip?

**

Beautiful day here..wonder if Dawg had it yesterday, notice we always get Dawgs weather day after..or the leftovers anyways. Its like clockwork.

Speaking of boneheads, my bonehead company decided to forgo real world training for new hires, so now I'm expected to teach them how to navigate through an app that is supposed to give a blueprint of what these poor souls will run into in the front lines..
And they wonder why our turnover rate is at like 80%.

Wonder what kind of tool Bri would implement in this kind of situation? A "work hard, not smart" strategic method, versus a tough guy bonehead "get er' done" strategy.

Have found, lying flat on back, using force from chest has less demand than working with arms above head, which has less support. The lying flat on back method no good for ceiling work, however, unless one builds a platform of sorts first..
The Twitter quote from @Kenny was referring to driving in screws overhead manually , which is not easy, really have to be in great shape to do it all day...great forearm work out for two minutes..

Rarely, do I ever use hand tools except hammers on any job, there is a power tool for every thing!

Use a freaking power screwdriver!!!
Better yet, for drywalling over head...think production..

or any 14+volt drywall gun

Yeh well, these people have priorities, you know. Focusing on the stuff that really matters..

Next up, taxes getting raised. We need more officials monitoring the tweets from the twits. Meanwhile, infrastructure crumbles..

It's going to get to the point where putting an ! after your sentence, or making a point in CAPS or (god forbid) BOLDED CAPS or even worse BOLDED CAPS UNDERLINED WITH ! will be inflammatory or offensive or insensitive or whatever and the police will be monitoring that.

We are already in Orwells 1984.

Ok stopping now, don't get me going Gilsan. Besides that post probably belongs in politico thread.

Another classic down, finished Things Fall Apart - https://www.amazon.com/Things-Fall-Apart-Chinua-Achebe/dp/0385474547

Now, time for that Bukowski run I was talking about. Actually, started 2 days ago. He mentions some authors/books he likes. What your favorite author likes. One was:

https://www.amazon.com/Hunger-Penguin-Twentieth-Century-Classics-Hamsun/dp/0141180641

Hunger by Knut Hamsun. I guess Knut is better than Oral as far as first names go.

"First published in Norway in 1890, Hunger probes the depths of consciousness with frightening and gripping power. Contemptuous of novels of his time and what he saw as their stereotypical plots and empty characters, Knut Hamsun embarked on β€œan attempt to describe the strange, peculiar life of the mind, the mysteries of the nerves in a starving body.” Like the works of Dostoyevsky, it marks an extraordinary break with Western literary and humanistic traditions."

JB's Literary Corner

Making some progress, this year finished:

Things Fall Apart - good book

3 different Bukowski books - quick reads, poetry mostly about beer, women, racetrack, life

Hunger - the one I mentioned above. Not as hardcore as I thought it would be but good. Just a man trying to keep his pride while being dead-ass broke most of the time, sometimes desperately so

To The Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf - I hated reading this one. "Cited as a key example of the literary technique of multiple focalization, the novel includes little dialogue and almost no action; most of it is written as thoughts and observations." That's why. A lot of rambling about not much of anything.

That was warmup, for this:

Now, I'm reading a big boy book. 780 pages, only doing 10 pages a day because it's the smallest font I've ever seen. You'll find this book on any top world lit list.

Einstein said of this book - "that for him in 1919 was the supreme summit of all literature. It remained so when I talked to him in 1937, and probably until the end of his life."

Freud - "the most magnificent novel ever written" and was fascinated with the book for its Oedipal themes."

It's The Brothers Karamazov by the great Fyodor Dostoyevsky.

Plot:
"The Brothers Karamazov is a passionate philosophical novel set in 19th-century Russia, that enters deeply into the ethical debates of God, free will, and morality. It is a spiritual drama of moral struggles concerning faith, doubt, judgment, and reason, set against a modernizing Russia, with a plot which revolves around the subject of patricide. Dostoevsky composed much of the novel in Staraya Russa, which inspired the main setting. Since its publication, it has been acclaimed as one of the supreme achievements in world literature."

It's an excellent book, smooth read, but a long one. 180 pages down, 600 more to go.

Good stuff, JB.
You're building quite a library.
Congratz, and keep it up.

Peace,

Few threads discussing old domains, oldest dates.
But nothing will beat this

I got a couple of these. Updated before they were even created, and even before the Internet was created, and right around Dawgs 50th Bday. Who will figure this one out? Not even the sleuthiest of the sleuth will..

If Linux made a car, it would be made from parts from the scrapyard and outrun anything on the road.
