Did you see the thread where SG said "blanketly"?

I cracked up.

that may be true but together you're some sort of super anthropologypsychologyfeministqueer expert

 

[Lancecastor]

Is there a "Stump the Experts" thread in the making?

That's an awful thing to say about our single-amputee Members, Sunstruck.

Interesting confession from someone who has a Mini Cooper as his Av.

True but to be honest the new cooper is a world car. The parts list comes includes just about every country in western/northern europe. The Pentagon engine is bulit in Brazil and was a joint design project between Chrysler and BMW back before Chrylser was bought out by Mercedes.

I know some things about cars, mostly older cars - not the 80's and newer cars - things like the engine in TR3s and TR4s was a tractor engine, and the inline six in a Jag came from a lorry (truck) IIRC.

I have spent much more time working on fuel injected vehicles then I have on carb cars. I could rebuild a carb but fine tuning one would be well beyond me.

I like some Brit cars and bikes, they have character and the style is interesting. I also used to mess around with American cars; I used to have some pretty trick setups for Chevys; I had an Offenhauser manifold and three one barrel carbs on a 236 inline six, several multi- carb setups for a 348/409, and some equally trick stuff for a 396/427.

Then there was the time I cleaned out a Corvette collector's garage for him and got all kinds of kewl stuff including a '61 Vette body (sans front end and frame). I wish I had kept that stuff, but I was poor and stupid then. Of course, if I had invested the time and money into the stock market instead I would have made even more money - but where is the fun in that?

Cars are way cooler then the stock market but cashing in all your stock to buy a cool car is even better.

...amputee Members...

Interesting choice of words, Lorena.

Sorry about that Lance. I'm sure they can sew it back on. Look to Bobbit for inspiration.

Ack. I should have specified the pencil and paper, gather 'round the table sagging from the Doritos and Mountain Dew, grab your Crown Royal bag with all the polyhedral dice and your character sheet and slay ye some dragons type of RPG.

Bullshit. Piercings for one.

I tried that a couple times in college.

Trying to gather 4-6 people together for hours at a time is just too much work.

Exactly.

I'm not an expert.. I've just had a lot of them done

Dammit, that's MY job.

Two experts are better than one..

 

[Starfish]

Okay, but you give good advice about piercings. So?

You need to make your way down here, then. I've managed with friends of mine once a week (excepting the Holiday Season) regularly for 8 years with a side game on Thursday nights for the last two.

You'd definitely be welcome. I can tell you that now.

 

[Pyper]

thank you darlin'
i would say pyper is the anthropology expert and i know more about psychology and queer/feminist theory.

I would say that's about right. I'm glad someone noticed.

Don't see many ppl claiming expertise in this field I'm guessing.

No offense, Jim, but if I were going to take a Lit trip, it would not be to play D&D.

 

[Freya]

I pretty much know nothing about everything.


I will welcome some expert's opinions on how to spend the $200 cheque I got today though.
