Alright I'm out...

[Finn666]

damn you guys…always taking things in a complete different direction!

I like it though...but I guess Lando won't 

[injunjack]

I think I might have repaired that differently. Can't be sure though as I usually shoot from the hip when I take my sewing machine out….

[Megatron1505]

We don't own a sewing machine IJ, so it was an old piece of material and a needle and thread job.

[injunjack]

Mega, you really should get a sewing machine, even a used one. I herited mine from me granny. (Though it's a "modern" Singer from I think late 70ies). They come in handy in all sorts of stuff.

Whaaaaaaaa!?!?! Why?? So stupid.

[Chris]

Does seem like an odd match.  Might have to buy some Filson stuff, just in case things go sideways when Chai gets there.

Dear Mr. Idiot at the Madrid Airport:

The machine that you just walked through 4 times is called a "metal detector".  It detects METAL.  So your pocketful of coins will set off the alarm, requiring you to dump the coins into a container, put the container on the x-ray belt and for you to pass through the strange machine again.  This will also happen with the oversized ridiculous metal belt buckle you are sporting.  And also due to your FUCKING keys.

Thank you.

I love a good laugh in the morning…...thanks

Trying to set up an Iron Heart fan page on Face Book.  God, how I hate Face Book….....

[TinMan]

ditto…..  I hate it also,  I use it every once in a while to see what my kids are doing.

Can't stand facebook.  I deleted mine in 2007.  It was good decision.

[Megatron1505]

Facebook has it's uses, like anything in life so long as you use it, and it doesn't use you, then you're on good ground.

What made me sit up and listen was when I was perusing the site with a mate and realised that the FB like button (on every product page) gets hit many more times than the twitter or the google ones.  That suggests to me that there are a load of people out their who  actually do like FB, so I'm doing my best to embrace it…...

[mankarat]

I think i can promote IH more in the FB, so, its a good decision G…

I will agree with you there.  I am sure it will get you more coverage.

Alright, so people texting while driving is obviously a horrible idea, but I have run into a ridiculous amount of people lately who insist on texting while walking from place to place.

There they are walking through the hall texting, up the stairs texting, taking a shit texting.  Not only this, they are slow as hell doing it.  Apparently, to put that effort forth to the phone, it requires walking like an old person on ice.

I mean come on.  I am pretty sure you can put your phone down long enough to stop texting in order to walk from your desk to the bathroom.

Just because you want to look important on your phone does not mean I need to be 5 minutes late for a meeting.
