Or even better....Kirby or Dyson? And the Grenada thing was a joke...since it wasn't much of a war, and it was a lame 70s Ford product. I know you dig your Fords.
Dyson is a joke compared to Kirby. Kirby doesn't just suck the dirt out of the carpet, it sucks the dirt through the carpet.

Any Kirby that takes paper bags (the early ones did not), properly refurbished, will last your lifetime and the lifetimes of many succeeding generations, considering how overbuilt they are. I picked up a 1971 "Classic" at a flea market for $20 and used it for many years before I upgraded to paper bags and power drives with a refurbished Sentria. I expect the Sentria to outlive me by many years.

The only downside to a Kirby, and it's not much of one, is that it weighs a metric crapton. Maybe the attachments are a little fiddly, too. But they are built to last and nothing cleans as well.

You should have been one of those Kirby salesmen. Remember them? They would come to your house and practically clean every surface to demonstrate the machine and its attachments. Try to get a Dyson employee to do THAT.

G&S, Tracker and Bones are no-brainers... Sambas win for the shoes.
BT for President!

I'm sure they wouldn't condone me telling the client to buy a 20-year old machine on eBay, just as good. 😁

Backside disaster sounds like a prison movie.

Dear MD,
Let's say you have 2 days in Subic Bay. You brought 100 usd, peso rate is right at 50:1. A "date" will set you back 1250p. Drinking San Miguel with a bunch of anchor clankers costs you maybe double that for 2 days. You've been on the boat for 3 months. Would you choose a Daytona or the barfine?

Sambas have no arches, right? Adidas Superstars. Now those are some sneaks.

If it was back when I was cherry boy/party boy…barfine.

If it was now…Deetoner.

Dear Mad Dog,

I was recently viewing a youtube channel called "famous people an' stuff," and the conversation turned to my autographed photo of THE FONZ. Long story short, I sent the photo to Uzbekistan to be authenticated by a guy named Slippin' Jimmy. There's just something special about him. It cost me 50 bucks to send the photo, so I hope it doesn't turn out to be a fake signed by Potsy or Ralph....or God forbid, Chachi. My question is: Do you think the Fonz actually started that juke box by hitting it, or was there a guy standing off camera holding the plug in his hand?
Respectionately,
santa bunny

@Mad Dog would you rather...

a. Respond to these thread queries OR

b. Jump in your beloved 2001 Ford Mustang Bullitt GT and head to the local skatepark (with"Enter Sandman" blasting on the radio, six pack of Dunkin' Donuts coffee close at hand, 1964 reference 105.003-64 Speedmaster strapped firmly to your wrist, and Vans Spicoli foldable sunglasses jammed in the left pocket of your flannel shirt worn rakishly over a Metallica "Ride the Lightning tee) to turn a few fakie frontside pop shove-its?

🍿

Apparently, for the 40th anniversary of J.I. Joe, the Hasbro Youtube channel is streaming the original cartoon live 24/7.
I'd care to wager that this is perhaps why @Mad Dog has been absent from this thread...he's too busy watching it...

I’m sure MadDog used to dress up as Wild Bill. 😉

Ugh. I can't resist...

Language NSFW, so be sure to turn it up for your coworkers to hear too.

Dear Maverick,

What would you do in the event that....
You see a tic tac shaped object flying all around your plane? It moves at speeds that cannot be achieved by any known aircraft and changes direction instantly, kinda like Tom Cruise in TG 2.

Also, would you do a fly by on the tower even if you knew it would result in a firm reprimand from a lovable but angry commander?

Signed,
needforspeed

Beatles or Stones?

Archer Archer
With those options...silence.

So, Simon and Garfunkel then?
