Hev! I'm so happy to hear your Frankenstein days are over. It's hard to hear how rough this one was, I feel like it happened to me! But you'll be like new in two shake's of a lamb's tail. (why does that sound kinky just because it's written on this forum?)

I've never told anyone this before, but my alter ego has a name. Theopolus Hellwick. A shadowy bearded sort who abides in the abandoned ruins of a monastery by the Spanish, just outside of New Orleans in the swamps. He appeared to me today with a fine holiday concoction. He lovingly calls it: The #745 Smokebox. Here's the recipe:
1 shot of chilled vodka
1 shot of chilled Kahlua
1 shot of chilled Bailey's Irish Cream
Stir in a glass and drink!

Hey Jon,
Go to one of the hobby and craft stores and get a paper crimper. Cut the top and bottom out of a beer/coke can, and run it through the crimper. I've built several buildings with tin roofs using that, and it works well and looks the same as what you are using. I think the roller/crimper cost me about 8 or 10 bucks, and there's always plenty of beer cans in the trash.

Capt. turk!! Thanks for the Tim Wilson's "But I Could Be Wrong" song!!!
:lol: :lol:
I guess I'm tired of Oprah Winfrey's ***
Tellin' me every move to make
And I'm tired of Martha Stewart's ***
Tellin' me how to bake a cake

And I've just about had my fill
Of Doctor ****** Phil
Tired of looking at Tiger's ***
And Shaquille O' ****** Neal

Paris Hilton could **** up a county fair
Just proof that you can be stupid
And still be a billion-fucking-aire

I'm tired of Simon's *** tellin' people that they can't sing
I'd fire Donald Trump's *** for knowing every ****** thing

Jen and Brad and Angelina's ***
I'm about tired of lookin' at them
And I'm about ready for Hollywood's ***
To run out of ****** film!

I'm tired of everything on TV
Everybody loves Raymond...
Except for ****** me!

I'm tired of that Lance's ***
In France ridin' on a bike
And I could purty much give a damn
What some actress's dress looks like

It'd be nice if Hip-Hop's *** would finally learn to play three cords
And I'm about fed up with Nashville's ***
And the "Hand-me-a-trophy" awards

Barry Bonds hittin' a bunch of fake home runs
And a fake-ass Larry the Cable's ***
And Git 'er ****** Done!

I'd like to watch football's ***
Without worryin' about T.O.
And I'm resolved to tell W's ***
Where the **** he can ****** go

I'd be the first to second
Tellin' the third world what the **** they can ****** do!
It'd be fun to watch Mel Gibson's *** gettin' whipped by the Jews

I'm tired of my own *** singing this ****** song
There's a lot of people's *** I'm tired of
But the list's too ****** long!

And I could be wrong...
OHH, I could be wrong!

Thanks to Kelly for these lyrics


The crimper you're talking about- is it O-Scale or G-scale, you reckon?

Thats true........
I chose brass instead aluminum, just because is brass of course and because I can solder it easy. Tomorrow I will show you a nice roof.

Maybe it's just me, but does anyone else seem to think a weird game of "checkers" is being played on the "other" side of the forum every time "I" post over there? :roll:
