DamageINC Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Haha just wishing everyone here a good '07 - be safe this weekend for Gods sake!!! May the next 12 months bring you wealth and happiness. OR at least a 6.4 that you're proud to say Ford puts in it's trucks. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Warman Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Happy new year to yourself, as well.... Ford has yet to see a smooth diesel launch... I sincerely hope that this one breaks the mold...... unfortunately, too many owners think that the modern diesel is the same one that Grandad had in his old Kenworth. I can't speak for anyone else but most of our "problem" 6.0s belong to those that have problems with any and every truck they own.... I think we'd see far less concerns if some owners had bought the truck the "need" rather than the one they "want" (while a diesel idling in the driveway might be "manly", viagra would have been cheaper). To all... a SAFE and happy new year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Bitches? I have been called a "son of a !@#!?$!" or my personal favorite, bastard! I guess that comes from expecting people to do as they are asked. Then again, I have been known to be a real prick for no reason at all! It's a part of my charm. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif As for a safe holiday, I am staying in with the wife and kiddie-poohs on amateur night but I will be cooking some good food and tossing down a "few" rum and Cokes! Then again, navigating through my house with all of the toys on the floor can be pretty hazardous too. Lego's under bare feet in the middle of the night top the list. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad.gif Happy New Year! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cheers.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Warman Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Ahhh, the ghost of Christmas passed.... Enjoy the squeals and giggles while you can.. They are a fleeting moment in our lives... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Enjoy the squeals and giggles while you can.. How about the suppressed screaming of four lettered words as I hop around in circles on one foot holding the other after jamming my toes on Dora's Magic Castle. The little one's think I am putting on a show and start to giggle and squeal. The "baby" has a plastic step stool that she puts at the foot of mommy and daddy's bed to climb up on. It is cute... I have now tripped over it twice on my way to pee in the middle of the night. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad.gif I suppose it will be funny to me in about 20 years!

Haha, make sure you get footage of this stuff and post it on the homepage. Save the really hairy stuff for when times get tough and then charge us on "per view" basis. (And I know all about the legos on the feet - I am gonna have to say that Matchbox cars in general, and ESPECIALLY Micro Machines are the most painful though.)

It'll be sooner than that my kids aren't even out of the house yet and I laugh at the memories of their sharp assed toys. its the constant music blaring night after night.

GregH Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 You know, my father once told me (many, many years ago) that the worst pain I will ever feel is stepping on a lego with bare feet in the middle of the night. This Christmas, my daughter got her first set of legos. Last night, I stepped on one for the first time. Circle of life, man... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamageINC Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 Haha, I think it's because they're usually on carpet, and when you step on it, even though it's flat, it "rolls" into the carpet and by the time you've got all your weight on that foot, the Lego block is practically standing vertical. (It's always the thick rectangular ones with 8 bumps on them). And then you become not-so-vertical. As for my New years - well, It was great. Although there was enough male nudity from a couple friends that I'd probably get banned if I went into details. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastendpowerstroke Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Lego's under bare feet in the middle of the night top the list I'll see your lego and raise you a pointy 1/2 inch tall hard plastic orange safety cone from my son's hot wheels set heal first on the 4th step down a of 13 oak hardwood stairs. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crybaby2.gif needless to say the wreckage wasn't pretty /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Warman Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Legos weren't yet in North America.... For my Dad, it was little green army guys.... The 50s were a decade of wonder and awe.... Imagine... a radio with NO TUBES... and it didn't take long to know that a radio with 11 transistor thingies was much better than a radio with only 7 transistor thingies....Auto manufacturers made a big technological advance going from 6 volt systems to 12 volts systems.... And now, cheap kids toys are more technologically advanced than cars could ever dream of being. Enjoy the feel of a small LEGO guy biting into the soft, meaty part of your foot... it's one of the few simple things left in your life.... /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smirk.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
