South Texas Water Tank

Take a look at what shows up at a South Texas stock water tank in dry weather.

For those of you who have never hunted in South Texas , sometimes we post motion detector cameras at our feeder/tanks to see what is going on.

  1. Thursday is already looking up!

    Leon, if your horse can’t figure out how to use this contraption, you probably need to eat him.

    I spent a large part of my yute heaving bales of hay into one of these contraptions for the purpose of feeding cattle.

  3. We don’t need no steenking badgers!

  4. Deepak Chopra’s tweets still appear for me. You guys sure he went private?

  5. They must be close to the coast cause I heard one of those hombres say something about sunny beaches.

  6. MOM, DEEPAK CHOPRA IS FOLLOWING LAURA!!!!!

  7. I don’t follow him – but perhaps you do Lauraw? I went to the link you gave yesterday and it just had a private message. Could not see.

  8. you wouldnt believe what critters show up in a urban enviroment

  9. He probably thought Lauraw’s tweet was empowering/serious. lol.

  10. they arent????

  11. J’ames – I would invite the kids over to swim … but yikes, that house was perfect.

    *looks at shabby furniture

    I can share that with you guys, but I don’t know these folks that well

    (that’s weird, isn’t it?)

  12. Morning, cool kids.

  13. Maybe she was being serious, Krow.

  14. I follow him- but I could see his tweets yesterday before I started following. Hm.

  15. not really car in, im about the same way

  16. Morning Cyn. What’s on deck for today?

  17. Cyn, Laura’s stalking depok chopra, or some such nonsemse

  18. i am always entertained by laura’s tweets and articles

  19. Hey (from the last poat) I start my days at 5:45. I just don’t fool with you people till after 8.

  20. He probably got mocked (by you) and changed his status.

    Good job Lauwaw. @@. Thanks a LOT.

  21. ?? But he’s not following me and I can still see his tweets.

    I think you people must be crazy.

  22. GOD I wish I knew what Deepok Chopra was tweeting right now. Alas, it’s gone -for me -forever

    *collapses in a heap of despair. Sharts a few stars.

  23. I can see his tweets too. He probably shut it down while he cleaned up his tweets, since I don’t see the one mentioned.

  24. What do you mean by “YOU people”?

  25. guilty as determined by a state psych board

  26. Day two of school and the youngest is NOT FUCKING HAPPY about the new school. Major meltdown last night.

    Yay.

    I may have to put in a call to Deep (he lets a few of us call him that).

  27. You people know what I mean by you people.

  28. Aren’t the Olympics still going? Where are the humping Olympic numbers for this poat??

  29. every time chopra gets going, i get a severe headache and after he stops i have to pat my wallet to make sure its still there

  30. Who shit a star? I don’t see anything in my timeline.

  31. cyn i have seen one wiff of Olympic joy.
    like jimmy carter or the UN , its an exercise in absurdity

  32. You guys can’t see this?
    https://twitter.com/DeepakChopra/status/230820520340377600

  33. that is some weapons grade crazy right there

  34. I can see all his stuff, and I am now following him.

    In my pickup truck, I am Rutherford B. Hayes

  35. Leon, you are over-thinking the horse feeding.

    Chuck the bales into the feeder and let the horses tear it out. Breaking up the bales and threading them through the grates is like pre-chewing their food for them.

  36. Carin, I’m sorry that Deepak Chopra blocked you. Want me to talk to him about it?

  37. The crap in my cat’s litter box is more profound than the crap Deepokdouche says.

    You just have to follow him. ga. I don’t know if it’s worth all that. I mean, the shit he writes on Huffpoo always made me lose a few IQ points. What could he do to me on Twitter?

  39. What could he do to me on Twitter?

    no more than any other idiot can do on twitter or facemoron. I follow libs on twitter that are MUCH worse, haven’t done me any harm.

    *picks nose

  40. HA – I tried to follow and it said “You have been blocked from following this account at the request of the user”

    WTF did I do?

  41. Car in was blocked! You win!

  42. Leon, if your horse can’t figure out how to use this contraption, you probably need to eat him.

    We don’t have a “him” horse. Only Maaaaaaaaaaares.

    Chuck the bales into the feeder and let the horses tear it out. Breaking up the bales and threading them through the grates is like pre-chewing their food for them.

    If I do that, they starve and then get bitey with each other. I’m a big-hearted sap, so I hate seeing the quarterhorse bullying the appaloosa.

  43. Ha ha ha haaa
    Holy crap, that’s awesome.

    He or you must be having technical issues, because that is just wrong.

  44. Just remember, leon, cook the horse low and slow. It’s tougher, and needs to simmer a long time.

    Bonanza has been doing it for years.

  45. I HAVE TO KNOW WHAT HE’S TWEETING RIGHT NOW

    Funny, because a few minutes ago I could have cared less.

    Weird.

  46. He probably cut off any new followers.

    Yesterday’s mocking was too much, I imagine. Thin-skinned little pussy.

  47. Sign up a new twitter account, easy peasy.

  48. Yes, I’m sure I drove multimedia giant Deepak Chopra to protect his bullshit tweets from the whole world with my little snarky comment.

  49. I’m reading Deepak’s retweets. I can’t believe his wisdom is blocked for me.

  50. Lauraw, the power of the hump comes with great responsibility. Use it wisely.

    in one retweet he mentioned twitter trolls. Apparently you’re not the only one. Imagine that?

    shocking.

  51. I think the record holder for Twittersnark butthurt would still be Keith (who?) Olbermann

  52. I said here that he shits the cosmos

  53. My day just went in the shitter. I am the cosmos Compos.

  54. Good one Pups

  55. Why the interest in Deepok Chopra? Is Deepok Chopra a Lutheran?

  56. in one retweet he mentioned twitter trolls.

    Oh man I would love to see that. Just went down his timeline but couldn’t find it.

  57. Yes, he’s a Lutheran. From the Minnesota Chopra’s.

  58. Dang, I misspelled Deepak’s name.

    It’s actually spelled दीपक चोपड़ा.

    In other words, the scientific method begins with an hypothesis, which is then tested by experiments and actual data. Most of us learned about this in high school.

    I wonder if this guy has a real high school diploma.

  78. It’s just so unbelievable that he’s been mocked to the point that he’s blocking absolutely everyone. Shocking, really.

  79. I’m gonna go ask my flowers if Deepak is an idiot.

  81. You didn’t make that tree Dave, The government made the forest it is illegal for trees to fall there.

  82. Say what you want, I get results.

  83. I asked my palm trees if Deepak was an idiot. They said yes.

    But they also said that they were counting on Barack Obama for their survival. Apparently they think that Barack turns on the sprinkler system.

  84. Well, you didn’t build that, Michael. Who else will turn it on?

    Pretty soon you’ll have to make a $3 donation for your trees.

    My mom has a couple of Chopra’s books. She appreciates his mystical wordthoughts.

    She sometimes critically analyzes every word out of my mouth and pounces on me when she finds any little defect in reasoning.

    But this guy can pour bullshit out of every pore and she’s mesmerized.

  92. Well, he’s getting paid lots of money for said thoughts, so he must know what he’s talking about, right?

  93. Oh man, Oswald Bates. This one is better.

  96. Good morning, Thurries.

  97. “After a long day of packed lines and jammed drive thru’s, the manager of Chick-fil-A on Michigan Street in South Bend, came out to a crowd of more than 100 people and told them, there was no more food. He told FOX28 the ‘response to the appreciation day was overwhelming’ and that ‘there was no way to be prepared for what happened throughout the country’. He says he will be working long into the night to figure out a way to open his restaurant for breakfast Thursday morning, there’s just no food left.”

    I wonder how many Chick Fil A’s had this “problem”.

  98. Why so respectful? My shirt would say “I built my business, SCOAMF.” With a pic of Jugear’s nose in the air.

  99. I wonder how many Chick Fil A’s had this “problem”.

    Hot damn, that’s just awesome. I’m sure we’ll hear about LOTS more in the coming days. I’d have cheered when the manager came out to say that the food was all gone.

  100. I used to work in South Bend.

  101. And they have the big “Kiss In” coming up on Friday, too. I’m sure all those attending will be buying a lot of food.

  105. yannow, if it is actually true that Mitt hasn’t paid his taxes for 10 years, he really needs to drop out of the Presidential race and lower his sights just a bit.

    For example, perhaps he should consider campaigning to be US Treasury Secretary instead.

  106. Silly wiserbud, we don’t even know if he uses Turbo Tax.

    *vetting FAIL

  107. Mitt should hold a press conference and release his college transcripts. And his birth certificate.

  108. Shhh, he’s gonna do that at the convention.

  109. Obama govt is so secretive that when Obama farts, Valerie Jarrett and David Axelrod inhale it all to prevent any whiff of scandal leaking out.

  110. Mitt should hold a press conference and release his college transcripts. And his birth certificate.

    Tacky, but I like it. He should have Sununu do it.

  111. I hope I have grossed yall out. My work here is done.

  112. How is Sununu healthwise? He should be VP.

  113. yannow, if it is actually true that Mitt hasn’t paid his taxes for 10 years, he really needs to drop out of the Presidential race and lower his sights just a bit.

    You know, this story has SUCH legs, because the IRS always let’s rich folks get away with paying zero in taxes.

  114. I am sure Obama campaign already has Romney’s taxes for last 10 years, stolen by some IRS employee. They know exactly what they want to hit Romney with. That is why they are not relenting on this.

  115. Valerie Jarrett and David Axelrod inhale it all to prevent any whiff of scandal leaking out.

    Harry Reid is a vile human being and anyone who carries that accusation forward is just as vile (See: Roger Ebert)

    Excellent poat Jay! It made me lolz in my work pants.

  123. But WIser, there MUST be something to it or Harry wouldn’t have said it. We need to see those tax returns.

    I learned this from a dipshit on face douche.

    Even if he didn’t break the law regarding his taxes,
    (I have to look this up again so I get it right)
    I don’t think Romney is doing anything illegal with his taxes. Just unethical. I don’t think he’s paid any taxes. Truly RICH folks don’t pay. Ask Leona. Americans need to know that.

    It’s not illegal. It’s unethical. but he didn’t pay any. Got it?

  124. Me thinks he’s already paying *handsomely* for his hate-filled heart.

    It’s not enough. He still has fingers with which to type.

    It’s not illegal. It’s unethical. but he didn’t pay any. Got it?

    Guilty until proven innocent.

    Nice country we had here for a while, huh? Damn shame we allow people like Harry Reid to actually hold a position of power, as opposed to cleaning the rest rooms at a Chik-Fil-A, which is about all he’s really qualified to do.

  125. What happened to Roger Ebert? Did he say “the dinner is on me” to someone who snorted bath salts?

  126. Cancer.

  127. Guilty until proven innocent.

    Yea, because I’m sure all these folks demanding the ten years of tax returns are going to vote for Romney if everything is on the up and up.

    Right?

    Nope, the puppet masters are frothing up their base, to bait ROmney into releasing them. Which at that point they can point out 1) how rich he is, 2) which charities he gave to, 3) etc …

  128. Harry Reid is a vile human being

    You forgot pederast.

  129. It’s impossible for rich people to pay NO taxes. I assume Face Douche friend is referring to federal taxes. Which I highly doubt he would be able to pay none either, since he pays dividend taxes (to the brokerage firms handling his portfolio). Maybe income taxes, since he doesn’t work regularly and refuses salary on the jobs that he DOES take, would equal zero.

  130. You forgot pederast.

    Yeah, I had heard that Harry Reid is a pederast somewhere…

    Not that surprising. I mean, just look at the little troll. You just know there are some homeless illegal-immigrant Mexican orphan boys in his past. Who are now dead and buried in the Nevada desert.

    The only difference between Senator Pat Geary and Senator Harry Reid is that Sen. Geary was found with a dead female.

  131. Face douche friends is an idiot. She also said she loved John Stewert so much (in this same debate) that she would like to fornicate him over and over.

    Which I found kinda weird.

    She bailed from the debate after I brought up the IRS. You know. It being their job to insure people pay what they owe.

    But LEONA HEMSLEY. @@.

    Neatly forgetting the fact that she went to jail.

  132. She also said she loved John Stewert so much (in this same debate) that she would like to fornicate him over and over.

    You should link the video of Stewart trashing Reid over his vile remarks.

    Yeah, the guy who donated every penny of his father’s inheritance turns around and cheats on his taxes, even though he has political ambitions and is an extremely well-known public figure.

    I guess I need to remember that the left ALWAYS, ALWAYS ALWAYS accuses others of doing exactly what they, themselves are doing.

    Where’s Harry the Pederast’s tax returns? Did he write off the cost of the candy he used to lure children into his windowless van? THE PEOPLE DEMAND ANSWERS!!

  173. The comments at that link are stupid. Feminazis all up in arms that the women are REQUIRED to normally wear skimpy bikini bottoms.

    Uh, don’t you think if it was a serious issue, all the WOMEN that compromise the WOMEN’S Beach Volleyball governing body could probably get that changed.

    Look, Kerri Walsh and Misty May might not be supermodels, but they’re butts are more than nice enough to wear bikini bottoms.

  174. Oh, yeah, don’t read the comments at that link. They are monumentally stupid.

    Men cover up and wear more clothes because God didn’t make us pretty like He made women. Women are like corvettes, men are like pickup trucks.

    Even still, wasn’t there a pretty big ruckus over Bush doing that? He couldn’t have done it any more perfect, and the lefties still went insane?

    The carline for the middle schoolers was AT LEAST 60 cars long. Fucking insane. It will get better though; it has to, or I’m gonna get out there and show them how it’s done.

  188. Leon,
    Wendy got their foot inserted in their own ass, and KFC wanted to get a piece of the action too.

    BTW, I have never eaten at CFA. Planning to do so this weekend.

  189. MJ’s not allowed to poat that picture any more.

  190. I’m smoking a boston butt and OMG is it turning out good.

  191. And to think, all this time, I just thought Bert and Ernie were roommates.

  192. Gas prices going up again. Just shy of $4z

  193. Carin – You using the rub recipe that I gave you?

  194. It’s close but I couldn’t find that email. It’s as close as I could remember.

  195. Ga. I think some travel team is preparing to kick my son’s team off of their own soccer field.

  196. Woot!
    Clear up to 74 here, today. The weather guessers are calling for mid 80s for this weekend (SeaFair).

    Oh, the asshole from the CFA video got fired this-afternoon.

  197. Everyday I lean on a lamp post. . .

    http://youtu.be/3mt_HTeERRg

  198. Any of you people ever read automobiles reviews? It is maddenning. Almost all amateur reviewers and many professional reviewers make two fundamental mistakes:
    1. They find issues with vehicles that those vehicles are not built to address. They would review an offroading 4X4 SUV and complain about the bumpy ride and lack of smooth road manners. The review a Hummer H2 and moan about the low gas mileage. They review a race car and complain about the lack of a diaper changing station.

    2. They focus on things that are trivial in the grander sceme of automotive things, and reject the vehicle based on that. They complain about how the weather and traffic feature of the in dash navigation system sometimes does not predict local weather accurately enough. What the FUCK is that? You are reviewing a car. Focus on the goddamned handling, safety, price and looks. Fuck the weather alerts.

  199. Crispy, do you have a link to the CFA video guy firing?

  200. They REALLY need to address the peniswheels.

  201. Tushar,

    http://tinyurl.com/ckdv5n9

  202. Crispy, this guy is supposedly a college lecturer in addition to the job he was kicked out of. Fat chance the college will give him the boot. But one can dream.

  203. If he were an ordinary employee I’d have a problem with it, but being a CFO, an officer in a company comes with certain expectations of decorum outside work, so I understand.

    I don’t believe he should have been fired, and I disagree with people calling for him to be fired, that said I certainly understand. He embarrassed his company and that’s that. Once I heard he was a CFO I pretty much expected it to happen.

  204. >>I don’t believe he should have been fired

    Dave, what other choice did the company have? Once a guy steps in chicken poop, you can’t let him walk on the carpets at the corporate HQ. Besides, with his outburst, he has proven to be a potential liability for the company, even if his recent actions were to be overlooked. He made the mistake of declaring that he does not have any gay in him. So now he can’t even claim discrimination.

  205. Maybe this college he lectures at will have him bronzed & set on a pedestal.

  206. Ten bucks says that mother bastard did that on company time. Another ten bucks says that upper management wasn’t all that happy with him beforehand. I mean, anyone who can be a a dickhole like that to a total stranger is going to be dickhole squared to his subordinates.

    I bet there are people partying at this instant.

  207. Ha ha. Vante website still lists El Douche as the CFO. Their IT team is slow.

  208. Did anyone ask Harry Reid about raping his daughter? A guy in Nevada told me that he’s an incestuous rapist.

  209. It would have been true justice if he’d been an HR manager, though.

  210. MJ, for some reason, Reid’s daughter is tight lipped about this.

  211. Someone should ask her. It’s the seriousness of the charge that is important.

  212. The usual lefty sites think the Obama people have his returns and will leak them.

    Remember senator Jack Ryan? Yeah, neither do I.

  213. Oh, btw, he identified himself as the CFO of Vante on YouTube.

    Big mistake.

  214. The fact that the douchebag attacked someone making minimum wage, for something the CFO said. Ga. You know, the irony of the situation is too much.

  215. Liberals aren’t very smart.

    Things Jefferson said #leventy

  216. I hope there is some employee with integrity at Harvard who has a copy of Obama’s records, including, I suspect, him claiming to be a foreign student, in his hands that he is willing to leak.

  217. I heard that Harry Ried is into that Furry shit. That’s just what I heard, I don’t know for sure.

  218. I have something I would like to leak about Obama.

    *sharts*

  219. I’m quite pleased with myself. Herself went out to Ohio, yet I’ve still managed to shower, do laundry, make myself dinner and get the dishes squared away. I’m gonna be quite the catch for a cougar!

  220. You let her take the new ride, right?

  221. Tushar
    CFA nuggets are to die for
    End of Public Service Announcement

  222. >>You let her take the new ride, right?

    the car that has 20 penises on it? Herself would smack Chief upside his bald noggin.

  223. I went out to the Apple Store a bit ago. My iPhone started making a buzzing sound in the earpiece, so they gave me a new phone.

    Anyway, I got a look at the new MacBook Pro with the retina display.

    Motherfuck. I want one.

  224. They’re pretty cool, but they’re mucho expensive. If you get the penis wheel upgrade, it’s like 3 grand.

  225. Two days ago: 1 egg
    Yesterday: 2 eggs
    Today: 4 eggs

    Eggsponential growth!

  226. Eggs ‘cuse me?

  227. Starts at $2200, but those Retina displays are awesome.

  228. I’m about to get the Mrs. one of the new iPads with retina display. It’s teh awesome.

    We’ll probably just use the old one for a doorstop or something.

  229. I have the iPad with the retina display. That’s why it’s going to be difficult to control myself.

  230. Me too. I didn’t realize how nice the retina display is until I took the iPad with me on a business trip.

  231. Where can I find the CFA video?

  232. I don’t have a retina display on my iPad. :-(

    On a high note. . . NO I DIDN’T LET HER TAKE MY RIDE!!!!

  233. MJ, I have the wireless keyboard because I don’t like the virtual keyboard for long documents. I can log in to the screen of my work computer just like I was at the office, and access every file I have, then work on it on the iPad.

    I will never lug another notebook when I travel.

  234. I see Carin has some new cross trainers. . .

  236. >> Dave, what other choice did the company have?

    Oh I’m talking about the cosmic “deserve”. Being an asshole doesn’t mean you deserve to be fired. And I would not have agitated on the outside calling for it either.

    That said, I absolutely understand it, as an officer in a company you are held to a higher standard (I am, I’m a Senior VP and CTO). If I had done that, or even reversing politics and done it to say, some 19 year old girl OWS kid, been a total douche to her and videoed the thing, posted it on Youtube, well I’d expect to be fired too. For embarrassing my company and being a senior exec. I don’t blame the company one bit.

    Incidentally, while I’m at it, this guy, what a fucking idiot not to understand that was gonna happen.

    Now if I were a line worker, one of the troops so to speak, I’d feel differently. But when you’re part of the public face of your company in a position of leadership, well sorry, different standards.

    If I were the CEO I would have canned him too.

  237. Just like my CEO would have canned me.

  238. My wife has my camry this week. It has left me very sad.

  239. I still think the CEO and board were looking for a way to can that dick. His type has wrongful discharge suit written all over his doucheface, though.

    He just fired himself.

  240. Thanks.

  241. We have an 04 Camry that’s still kicking ass, 120,000 miles later. Perhaps the best vehicle I ever bought.

    I feel your pain Leon.

  242. Eh, speculation about speculation is a silly exercise. They could very well be like minded progs, but also businessmen who understand it’s hard to make money when you have an asshole on the executive team.

    He did fire himself. The rest of it, who cares?

  243. PFfft 120,000.

  244. Altima had 150k on it when my negligence finally killed it.

  245. He probably spent an hour, and who knows what in gas, to extract 16 oz of water and a wax cup from CFA.

    He’s the CFO? I would have fired him too.

  246. Scott, I fully expect this thing to make it to 200k without major work. I did have the front end joints and shit rebuilt last summer.

  247. 116K on my Elantra, and I haven’t even put brakes on it.

  248. No road salt.
    I used to know a car guy that would vacation for free every year in the Southwest or Mexico.

    He would buy 3 classic cars and bring them back.

    I’m about to get the Mrs. one of the new iPads with retina display. It’s teh awesome.

    We’ll probably just use the old one for a doorstop or something.

    I hate you all so very much.

  250. Oh yeah, scott. I’ll bet cars in the north last 1/2 as long just because of that.

  251. Things have gotten better Jay. Stuff doesn’t rust as much as it used to.

    The new Ford trucks have aluminum frames. I hope they are coated with something bionic.

  252. I gots a new Pupster mobile.

    http://pupster.files.wordpress.com/2012/08/img_20120802_200325.jpg

  253. What Dave said on the Chick-fil-A douchetool.

  254. No, I won’t help you move.

    The 92 Camry in the background will be gifted to my Father in law.

  255. Having never had to deal with it, I can’t even imagine what road salt must do to the frame and undercarriage of a vehicle. Gotta be awful.

  256. Wow Pupster, that looks way cooler than the perv van.

  257. Very nice, Pups.

    I had a 2005 Tacoma in that same configuration. Loved it but it was 2WD, which was fine in Texas but not so much here.

    I wound up with an SUV after playing wheel-of-car with the wife, but I’m thinking about going back to something like that Tundra of yours.

  258. Yeah, Dave, that’s a mess.

    Nothing like having to get your car washed all winter long, either.

  259. Speaking of trucks, I talked to my bud that has the new F-150 with twin-turbo “Eco-Boost” engine. The premium for that engine was $1,700!
    He really likes it. Better mileage, more power, much less maintenance.
    It’s a real nice truck, but I couldn’t pay $40,000 for a car anymore.

  260. Wow Pupster, that looks way cooler than the perv van.

    Look who`s talking.

    http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/17klf1rjsyncxpng/xlarge.png

  261. Pups I’m still struggling with my next truck, whether to go Tundra or stick with Chevy.

    Goddamn government. I love my last two GM trucks.

    fuck.

  262. The Tundra’s made in San Antonio, IIRC. Do it for Texas!

  263. I really like it, Andy. I was looking at the Tacomas at first, but with the gas prices now you can get a V8 Tundra for less.

  264. Fuck GM.

  265. *looks around for hostegettes*

    I’ll come back.

  266. I added that Vante bit in the headlines at the mothership.

  267. And in the time it took me to compose that, fucking Ace posts on it. Fuckhole.

  268. I knew I was buying used, so Toyota was really the best choice for me.

  269. Sweet Tundra, Pup. That was my choice if I was getting the pickup and the wife was getting the commuter car.

  270. Here’s Obama’s schedule for tomorrow:

    10:30 am || Receives the Presidential Daily Briefing
    11:00 am || Meets with senior advisers
    11:45 am || Delivers remarks on the Bush tax cuts

    That’s it. That’s all.

  271. Every time I have to haul something that’s a pain in the ass to get into the SUV (like, say, a couple of doors from the Home Depot) I mutter under my breath a little.

    I could solve the problem with a little utility trailer, but where’s the fun in that?

  272. OK, it’s time to test out one of my new booze rocks. BRB.

  273. I love my Tundra Pups
    Is yours a 02 or is that a 04 grill?

  278. This just in: cooling sweet, delicious Scotch with a frozen hunk of … ummmm … granite? … works pretty damned well.

  279. Awesome truck, Pupster!

    **gives pups a high five, and scratches him behind the ear**

    Dave, go for the Tundra or a F150. Fuck GM.

  280. Maybe I’ll just keep rebuilding my 06 Silverado forever.

  281. Last year, when my wife trashed the 12yr old, 160K Corolla, in a moment of weakness I purchased a Rav4. I should have gone in for a 4Runner. The minivan is at its half life(6yrs). When that van goes, I swear I am getting a 4Runner. The last vehicle I will ever buy.

  282. Before anyone even thinks of buying a truck other than a Toyota, pl see these clips.

  284. Chief,
    Did you see my note @8:29 about the F-150?

  285. Heeeey Boo Boo!

  286. Men cover up and wear more clothes because God didn’t make us pretty like He made women. Women are like corvettes, men are like pickup trucks.

    I like pickup trucks a lot more than corvettes.

  287. Pups, nice truck. RAWR!

  288. Hey beasn, from last night, there are actually a couple pics of me and said fountain in the St. Louis meatup pic folder.

    I look like an idiot. Which is appropo, since I am one.

  289. Those Rav’s run forever Tush and Highlanders have the highest resale of any Toyota

  290. VMax, I don’t care about resale. I run cars till they get totalled or fall apart. If my corolla hadn’t crashed, I would have used for 15 to 18 years easily.

  291. Heh, someone is using Shine On You Crazy Diamond in their gymnastics routine.

  292. I want my next vehicle to outlive me. I don’t see anything except Toyota trucks doing that.
    Rav4 and Highlander are not trucks. They have car bodies.

    I don’t think I will drive a pickup, so Tundra and Tacoma are out. Landcruiser and Sequoia are too expensive. FJ cruiser is fun but impractical. That leaves 4Runner. It fits the bill

  293. For some strange reason, I found this humorous, but then, I’m easily amused…

    http://tinyurl.com/cb8ulbk

  294. 4Runners are nice but Tundras have lots of room for a family like yours and all the stuff you can fit in the bed.
    You are right.

    Alternately Nissan doesn’t get much love and those Xterra’s run and run. For quite a bit less than the Pathfinder.
    I am unsure what frame they use.

  295. XTerra and Pathfinder are both body on frame. Great trucks. XTerra is a bit small though. Pathfinder is interesting.

  299. *waves to all the lurker Morons from the HQ*

    Feel free to delurk, but please bring vodka. And ice. TYIA.

  300. FUCK. SHIT. FUCK.

    oh, sorry. Hi again.

  301. The only thing I have done to my Tundra is brakes batteries and tires. In 11 years of ownership.They did early on redo my entire front end under warranty because I complained about the rotors warping under heat.

  302. I learned to drive in a manual transmission, 1980, piss yellow Toyota Corona wagon.

    That was a terrific car.

    And if you folded down the back seat, it was roomy enough to play hanky panky with Suzie Rottencrotch.

  303. I learned a manual transmission in a 3 wheeled Cushman golf maintenance cart, mounted on the steering wheel like God intended, in 1977.

  304. I learned to drive in a 67 ford pickup with 3 on the tree in Dad’s Orange Grove.

  305. I learned a manual transmission on a gov’t truck that was 3 years older than me.

  306. Well, I’d originally learned on an old Fordall tractor, but the clutch on that was a bit more forgiving than most cars.

  307. Learned in a sassy red Mazda RX7 in the parking lot of Oral Roberts University from the Army dude I was dating. Fun!

  308. The car too.

  309. ORU?
    Really? Wait RX7′s with that Wankel were cool.

    I have successfully helped 6 girls to drive a stick.
    No euphemisms.

  310. Oral Roberts University

    That’s just begging for a joke thread on what majors are there.

  311. I have done something I am sure none of you will ever be able to learn to do: i drove a stickshift and rode motorcycles successfully on crowded Indian streets.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjrEQaG5jPM

    In India, we learn to share the road.
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=im60QAAbE3s

  312. MOM!!! Vmax is trying to say his euphemisms aren’t euphemisms again!!1!

  313. That’s just begging for a joke thread on what majors are there.

    There was a lot of oral worship there, that’s for sure.

  314. What about his little-known cousin Anal Roberts?

  315. I learned to drive in a ’59 Chevy wagon(9 pass) with 3 on the tree when I was 10 and we went fishing in the mountains in Oregon. We got off the pavement and I told dad; “I bet I could drive this!” He replied; “I bet you can’t!”
    Then he got out and got in the right seat!
    I had been watching closely the clutch/shift interaction for a while.
    I “could” drive it, and was allowed to ever-after!
    I was very proud.

  316. He and his cousin don’t usually see eye to eye. They take opposite positions mostly.

  317. It just occured to me… It’s probably going to be a very uncomfortable at the annual Mormon meeting this year if both Mitt Romney and the pederast Harry Reid attend.

  318. If you’re a little boy, yes. Very uncomfy

  319. Hahahaha illegal zombies!!!! I love it *waves to wiserbabe*

  328. What’s email?

  329. Wow, Obama is going all in with the “Millionaires pay a little more”. Just saw a completely bullshit ad about Romney adding trillions to the deficit, while King Putt will have a “balanced approach”, reducing the deficit.

    “Calculated Deception. That is the central theme of the Obama campaign. Calculated Deception is the term I use for Obama’s rhetorical practice of trying to take advantage of what he calculates the average person does not know, and his party-controlled, so-called mainstream media won’t rep”

    It’s a must read.

  383. I’ve been amazed at the audacity of Obama’s statements – I’ve never seen a politician who can pee on American voters’ shoes and tell them it’s raining with such gall. Of course he couldn’t pull it off without the MSM at his side.

  384. It is infuriating.

  394. I thought people like him didn’t care what others thought.

    The more you know.

  395. I also sort of assumed that an “Ageless Body” wouldn’t acquire a huge potbelly when it got older, but Deepak disabused me of that notion.

  396. When I speak, my words are tools to repair the cosmos. – Deepak

    When I run, I listen to Tool. – CaRiN
