Any big plans for you today? -
What's the POD for this lovely Saturday MG and Fatum? We're heading for the swap meet, hoping to find some cheap, good reads. Hoping to find a sander too. Any recommendations?

If you're looking to get used power tools at a swap meet, it's important to get one that, er, works. Make sure the previous owner isn't trying to unload his/her problems onto you.
(Knowing you, you'll probably end up getting a used Craftsman power sander.
)
Plans? Hmm... my summer car needs a wash bad, so I'll spend some time doing that today. Then I'll probably head out for dinner with my usual kaki this evening.
What about Fatum?
Edited to add: Are you planning on getting an orbital or belt sander? -

To be sung while walking along Geyland Lorong 23
On a dark wasteland highway coolly wind in my hair
Warm smell of kopi-o, above rising by air
In front inside the distance saw I shimmering red lantern up
My head grew heavily and my sight grew weakly
I had to stop for the night
There it was located in the entrance
I heard the mission bell
And I thought to me,
' this could be skies, or this could be hell '
Then they showed above light up a candle and them me the way
There was voices down the corridor,
I imagined heard it say...
Welcomel to the hotel 81

CLASSIC! -
The swap meet's at the sports arena. We were there a couple of weeks ago scoping out the bargains. You should have seen some of the stuff some people were trying to offload. Not with a 10 foot pole man! Re: sander. You know me well.Originally posted by Meia Gisborn:Where's the swap meet taking place at?

Didn't see any at Sears at a price I was willing to pay for so we're heading to their repair place to check out reconditioned selections.
Did someone say car wash?
I love washing cars. That's why I wasn't here yesterday. Spent an hour washing and detailing my car. *peering out the window, noticing Hubby's dirty car, oooh!!! lemme at it!* -
Orbital. I'm refacing the kitchen cabinets in the new digs. I cannot cannot stand oak. Thinking of a cherry stain... *excited at thought of finally being able to take power tools to house*Originally posted by Meia Gisborn:Edited to add: Are you planning on getting an orbital or belt sander? -
Oooo! Oooo!! Double feature at the drive-in! Pirates of the Caribbean and Cars. Looks like we know what we'll be doing tonight.

2) Two border agents guilty of smuggling undocumented immigrants for bribes from a smuggling ring. *GRrrrr!!!* Here's the kicker: They also pleaded guilty to filing false tax returns in 2004 by failing to report the bribe money as income and by failing to pay taxes on the bribe money.Originally posted by jetta:1) Navy/Marine data found on public web site.

Too dam*n funny. -
Blardy hell. Why can't you be my neighbour??? Then I can let you wash my cars to your heart's content. I'd even be willing to tip you.Originally posted by jetta:Did someone say car wash?

Don't spend too much time at the swap meet. They can potentially be very addicting, especially when you're spending time trying to hunt down the very best bargains! -
You *have* to read this:
Tour de France: last U.S. bastion
UNION-TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICES
July 8, 2006
Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sentinel, noting the carnage at the World Cup and Wimbledon and before that the World Baseball Classic and the Ryder Cup:
“Our favorite uncle is feeling down. Real down.
“Red, white and singing the blues.
“His stars are falling. His stripes are fading.
“Another birthday just came and went, and he's starting to wonder why he can't run as fast or jump as high as he once did.
“'I don't know what's happened to me,' Uncle Sam says sadly. 'I can't compete anymore. I'm nothing but a Yankee Doodle Dud.'
“What happened to you, Sam? Everywhere you go, everywhere you turn, all you see is a star-mangled banner. Old Glory used to preside proudly over international sporting events, but now she flies at half-staff, mourning the death of American dominance.
“My country 'tis of thee,
“We play sports just like Aunt Bee!”
“The final, fatal blow came on July 4, when the Great American Hope – hulking 230-pound Joey Chestnut – was taken down by 160-pound Japanese legend Takeru Kobayashi in the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest on Coney Island. Kobayashi has won six consecutive titles and has turned American wiener-wolfers into chopped sushi.”
Trivia time
What was the last country not from Europe or South America to make the final of soccer's World Cup?
Next he'll try for a birdie
Sanjay Kuttemperoor doesn't believe his skill as a golfer had much to do with his two holes-in-one within about 35 minutes last month.
The 38-year-old Brookfield, Wis., resident accomplished the feat at Treetops Resort in Treetops Village, Mich., on June 24 using his 8-iron on both shots. The first ace came on the 150-yard fifth hole, the second on the 135-yard ninth.
He's played about 25 rounds of golf in his life and has never broken 100.
Kuttemperoor got the aces while playing with Rick Smith, the swing teacher who works with Phil Mickelson and has coached Vijay Singh and Lee Janzen, among others.
“I've never seen anything like it in my whole life,” Smith said.
Kuttemperoor said he had been too busy to play golf since his two-ace day, but he can't quit now.
“I still haven't made a birdie,” he said.
Parting shot
Here's one of the 10 reasons ESPN.com's Bill Simmons is a World Cup fan but not necessarily a soccer fan:
“I like watching anything that lets you say, 'Hey, these guys are the absolute best of the best.' That's why pro soccer will never catch on here: Nobody wants to watch a bunch of second-rate guys playing a sport that isn't that interesting in the first place. Fundamentally, it can't work.”
Trivia answer
None. Every World Cup finalist has been from Europe or South America. -
