[mankarat]

@Giles:

When I met mankarat in Singapore, I asked him what mankarat meant.  I have forgotten precisely, but something to do with rust or corrosion.

Well it irks me that a fellow who contributes so much to the forum does not have an avatar, so I started to look for one for him.

I googled images for mankarat - the guy owns the page…...

Well thanks for your effort G
mankarat means. 'man' is the end of my name Abdul Rahman. Karat in Malay means rust or corroded. Long time ago Friends gave me that name when he saw my bicycle got rust because of saltwater (i work at sea)

My wife saw a picture in a magazine that inspired a new vision for our living room.  Guess who gets to rearrange the furniture, remount the plasma TV, reroute the cable and rewire the surround sound to bring said vision to life?

"Where do I start with this cable?.."

[madmonday]

sounds like my life.  i'll say a prayer for you. oh & it shows you have come to terms with your lot in life since you didn't post this in the rants 

[Chris]

Didn't even cross my mind.  I did consider whether it was more suited for "Random Questions", though.

Oh well, she's not getting off that easy either; she took the kids to a birthday party to keep them out of my way.  Plus, I just bought a whole bunch of toys, erm, essential tools at Home Depot.;)

[madmonday]

wait she left directions & left you to your own devices?  nah i get instructions while moving items, you are on a different  level where at least you are considered responsible enough to follow directions  :-\

could be good could be bad depending on how the room turns out

Both Flat Head chambrays probs sold… Should I just go ahead and order the fucking Wabash already?..  :-\

[rocket]

I would say yes straight away, but think it is better to first get the money in hand and go from that point…

[Seul]

That goes without saying…  On the other hand: why would I buy the Wabash now?.. Can pick it up next year when it gets colder again... Might just save the money for the upcoming new stuff...

[rocket]

you are right with that point…

[Seul]

Need that heavy knit jersey shirt… Cause I suspect that won't be re-made... Then it's the mock twist chambray and the pale blue chambray... And who knows what Triple Works might be releasing...

Damn you IH... Damn you to hell 

[rocket]

yeah there will need some decisions to be made. Personal the heavy knit jersey shirt will maybe be a easy pass for me, don't see that I need it, but as always that might change in a heartbeat…. just wait and see what comes

2 in the morning…comforting. missing a big scoop of vanilla ice cream  :-

time to search for a good movie now…any recommendations?

JCVD - Belgian movie with Jean-Claude Van Damme. Not a karate movie btw… Just a solid drama...

[Megatron1505]

A beautiful piece of cinema 

[Seul]

It's a good flick. If you want something classier, check ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA.

[Megatron1505]

I was being genuine (hard to tell I know), I genuinely enjoyed JCVD.

Ummm Seul this is one of the greatest movies ever made! I would say my favorite without a doubt!

[Seul]

Yeah, it's one hell of a movie…

Mega: oh suz cuz.. Glad you enjoyed it... How did you like Man Bite Dog (C'est arrivez près de chez vous)?.. One of the best Belgian movies ever made, that'un...

[Megatron1505]

Man Bites Dog is one of my favourite movies, I think the humour of it is amazing. On a side note, my favourite movie of all time is a straight up tie between The Big Lebowski and Old Boy.
