Quote HistoryQuoted: You mean Jncos? If not these were cool as fuck for a little while when I was a kid. If you didn’t have the jeans, you at least had a shirt. Looking back, I’m glad I never had any. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/501885/B7302E6C-92BC-43A6-9DF2-4C3E5F138FC4_jpe-1714151.JPG You can still get Jnco jeans. |

Quote HistorySo what happened to them? Was in central Texas about 20 years ago. Made it a point to go on a little wilderness trek, with the Express purpose of spotting a horned toad. Or perhaps a rattlesnake. We have rattlers here, but wanted to see a Western DiamondBack. Didn't get to see either, but did get to see a road runner. I asked around, no one I spoke to knew where to spot a horned toad. |

Quote HistoryFriend of mine has one of these but the design is a statue instead of the house Two surprising things: 1) those lamps are generally worth several hundred dollars or more 2) there's a guy on ebay whose entire business is making pumps for them when the old ones wear out. Send him a picture and he knows which pump you need. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: My grandfather qualified for that. Lied about his age to enlist in the Marine Corps is 1945. Used the GI bill to attend the Citadel and commission in the Air Force. Was both an F86 Sabre pilot and some sort of "Combat Controller" type role in Korea. Flew the F4 Phantom in Vietnam. He also was heavily involved in the bombing of Laos and Cambodia, often doing "off the books" flights out of the Philippines that he never talked about till the 1990s. He won the Distinguished Flying Cross twice, once in Korea, once in Vietnam. My father and I have most of his medals, his Class A uniform, and his helmet from his F4 Phantom days. RIP grandpa, one of the most bad ass motherfuckers I've ever had the privilege of knowing. Sorry for the thread hijack.

I ran it to my car radio with a cassette adapter and had to keep it on a pillow in the passenger seat because if you hit a bump, it would skip. I miss that car - ‘78 Thunderbird. |

The kid's father found out he was hiding it in the basement. He tried to wrangle it and got bitten a few times. They're not as the ad portrays. They are much larger. It was quite the affair. Man thats crazy; they shipped a live monkey through the mail? Before 1968 Gun Control Act, you could have your gun shipped right through the mail to you too. |
