Who ever heard of Katanas City?

No, I meant instead of Mai Tais.

[Augsburger]

Mai Tais go with luaus and beaches, katanas are for choosing who picks up the dinner tab,yes?

Slapstick is often as hard to portray online as sarcasm. I understood, I just took advantage of Katanas looking similar to Kansas.

Although I thought you meant Katanas instead of fencing foils.

I understood you, as well, and saw the joke.  And I did originally mean fencing foils.  Because katanas are much sturdier.  I just thought I'd go in a different direction, because funny.  To me, anyway.  I mean, what could be more disjoint than katanas instead of Mai Tais.  Unless there's a cocktail called the katana, which there probably is, which undermines the joke, so...I fail. 

Hilariously, hilariously fail.

There must be a cocktail named Katana. If not, you need to invent it.

It'd have to be sharp and a little dangerous.

Set up a third date for tomorrow.  Tacos and live music (the best rock band in St. Louis, two years in a row!).  Date two was last night.  There was PDA; I don't know why I still carry this stupid Palm Pilot.*

*Come on, that's funny.

That's an easy recipe; ether in a jar, and a lit match.

That's a lot dangerous, he said a little.
And yes, that was funny.

Do you want to lose an eyebrow?

See?

You're ruining one joke, but helping with another.  So I give you a brownie point.

[EdipisReks1]

I like mine better.  WHOOSH!  Oh no, my curtains are on fire!

[Dusty Chalk]

Yours is more like a Molotov cocktail than the kind we drink.  "Did you put something in this?  I feel funny..."

I am pretty jaded, when it comes to drinking, after all.

Made the mistake of not giving the Jeep a real proper look-over before taking it out for its first bit of dirt today. Missed two things: a. the tires are rotting a bit more than I had previously thought and b. there are some very subtle locking lug nuts on the wheels for which I don't have the key.

Made it over all sorts of rocks no problem but took a root at one wrong angle and ripped a 2" gash in the sidewall. Couldn't patch it and couldn't swap the spare. Had to leave it out there for the night since the sun was already setting. Should be an interesting tomorrow.

It's at 33.111887,-105.967308 if you want to look.

Bummer about the abandonment.  Hopefully the rescue tomorrow goes ok.  

[Voltron]

Good luck Lt. Catcoon

[Dusty Chalk]

Yeezh.  I'm glad you survived the walk back.

[Emooze]

This is a classic example of why you never go offroading alone. Was with three other folks and they gave me a ride home.

 

 

 

[Emooze]

Stupid rims don't have enough space around the lug for a traditional lug extractor. Had to go with a sacrificial socket. Rescue successful

[n_maher]

Glad to hear it.  Also, now's an opportunity to upgrade tires.  I'll have to replace mine this year at some point (40k on the stockers) and have been struggling mightily given how few, basically zero, miles of trails my Jeep is likely to see.

 

On a personal note - I met with the local Home Theater install company today to talk about the addition.  Progress has been lagging horribly but it's coming up on the time to get things wired and given what I was quoted to have the shop guys do it I'll be having someone wire all of it for me.  It was shockingly low.

I have a tire guy who can usually beat anyone else, if you guys are interested.

Brent's tire guy...

^ Oh crap I just emailed him for a price on some race rubber

When in Rome ...

Technically on Sunday, not today.

[ironbut]

That should be very cool!

I went to Charlotte for a race when I was a kid (don't remember which race?) but it was very impressive!

TV really doesn't do racing justice.

Enjoy!

[Voltron]

That should be a blast Jim! Have a great time.

 

I got a box of Texas beer plus one bad-ass SOB from Utah and chicharones! I should do more half-assed legal work for Naaman because this is a sweet payoff.
