With the new Car Show season coming up, I thought it would be a good idea to offer up the HotKarz T-Shirts for sale online. Even better, because of the soft economy, I also thought it would be nice to offer them at half price - just $5.00 each, plus $2.50 to cover packaging & shipping.
These shirts are heavy cotton T's, printed front and back with the HotKarz.com logo and this '56 Ford on both sides.
Currently, I have S, M, L, XL and 2XL. But running out of 2XL, so be quick if you want one. When these shirts are gone, they're gone.
You may order securely online at www.intellibiz.com/shirts.html
On the other hand, I am looking for a few items. I am looking for quanties of pint and quart canning jars with rings (lids optional). Also looking for a .22LR rifle, either bolt or semi. Also looking for a good log splitter, hydraulic, prefer at least 20 ton but will look at others.
Someone asked - jokingly, I hope - if the .22 is for turkey shootin'. Not hardly - my family would disown me for that. They are almost members of the family (no pun intended). But we are having woodchuck problems. I plan on changing that in the spring.
Questions? Email me at ptwoodycrew@aol.com

Bonny Eagle
We received Bonny Eagle's show information today. It is now posted on the MAINE EVENTS page and the 2009 Calendar.
This years' date is May 17th. It appears there are 35 categories this year according to the online registration form. It's hard to believe they have FOUR classes for Tuners, but only 3 classes for the biggest categories - Street Rods and Trucks - and nothing for the 2000 and up (unless you have a Tuner).
Later!

Non-Science
It is truly amazing what some folks will believe, and even more incredulous that so-called scientists pave the way to idiocy.
Here is just one example, taken from a recent news article:
"Fossilized bones from a pregnant whale show that the water-based animal gave birth on land. The rare find provides a vital scientific link in the evolution of the seafaring mammal."
First, it correctly states the whale was pregnant at the time, then incorrectly states it had already given birth. It had not.
This is nothing less than a HUGE leap to a ridiculous assumption. As stated in the story, the remains were found just onshore, and the baby whale had not yet been born. Rather, the fetus was turned around (breach), which gave the appearance the birth was more like the birth of land mammals rather than sea mammals. Hence, their conclusion that this is a missing link that proves sea mammals evolved into land mammals.
But here is the problem, which I refer to as the GHOST HUNTERS theory. In those cases, some folks ASSUME a ghost simply because they have a lack of information, or they perceive the information incorrectly. In many instances, the Ghost Hunters (on SciFi) easily debunk what at first glance appears to be paranormal activity.
In the case of this whale, the so-called scientists, in their desire to prove evolution, overlook a lot. For example, that spot may not have been dry land at that time in history. Or perhaps, as still happens today, a sick whale will beach themselves.
And that is particularly true in the case of a breach birth, as this one is.
A whale that is experiencing a painful breach birth will often beach itself. The fetus of this baby was in a breach position, and the whale found just onshore. So just why is it that the scientists have jumped to the unlikely conclusion that the whale, experiencing a breach in an act of evolution, crawled onto the beach for the purpose of giving birth to a new land-based species. Absurd.
Call me old fashioned, but if I see a beached whale that is in a breach condition, I simply think the whale, in trouble, beached herself in an act of suicide, as animals will often do when suffering. Whales and dolphins do that all the time.
I think this belongs right up there with raptors devolving into Thanksgiving dinner.

???????????
So, I'm sittin' in the coffee shop again this morning and the conversation turned to cosmetic surgery, and how American's have become so vain. It started by a comment about Nancy Pelosi as being the Botox Queen.
George said, "My aunt just had a tummy tuck, but I think it was a waste of money 'cuz it's not noticeable - her drooping juggs get in the way."
"My wife recently had a facelift," claimed Robbie. "Now it's like kissin' a piece of sheetrock."
I tried to keep myself from envisioning that, and wondering how Robbie knows what it's like to kiss sheetrock.
One thing led to another, and the topic turned briefly to religion. Carl said, "I'm gonna be pissed if I die and find out their ain't no God, afterall."
"Not as upset as you'll be if you find out there is," I quipped. "You haven't exactly been a Saint Theresa."
Naturally, the conversation then rolled smoothly to a discussion on AIDS. Robbie said, "We need to do more to protect folks from AIDS."
"Absolutely, " bellowed George. "Them damned aides were the only ones who read that stimulus bill, and told those bums in Congress to vote for it. We need protection from them damned aides."
OK, George. Let's move on to another topic. I quickly steered everyone to focus on a less volatile topic - the turkeys in my yard.
Unfortunately, the mere mention of turkeys immediately brought back the subject of politics.
'Obama should have assigned the entire $787 billion dollars to the Department of Agriculture," said Robbie. "He apparently believes money grows on trees."
So, I once again tried to steer the boys in another direction.
"Did anyone see the video of the mysterious object falling to Earth in central Texas the other day?"
"Yeah," said Carl. "Reminded me of that Chicken Little story. You know, where he went running around yellin' 'The sky is falling'."
"Just like Al Gore," quipped George.
"Just like Sean Hannity," chuckled Robbie.
And the conversation again turned into politics.
Normally, I would enjoy a political discussion. But being one of the few conservatives in a definitely Democratic state, discretion is often the better part of valor. I wolfed down the donut, and gracefully exited stage left.
And I thought to myself that sometimes it is better to just let them have their slugfest, then return later and pick up the pieces.

Getting Old is...
This in, from our resident funny guy, Dale Chasse:
A lady goes to the bar on a cruise ship and orders a Scotch with two drops of water. As the bartender gives her the drink she says, 'I'm on this cruise to celebrate my 80th birthday and it's today...'
The bartender says, 'Well, since it's your birthday, I'll buy you a drink. In fact, this one is on me.'
As the woman finishes her drink, the woman to her right says, 'I would like to buy you a drink, too..' The old woman says, 'Thank you. Bartender, I want a Scotch with two drops of water.' 'Coming up,' says the bartender.
As she finishes that drink, the man to her left says, 'I would like to buy you one, too.' The old woman says, 'Thank you. Bartender, I want another Scotch with two drops of water.' 'Coming right up,' the bartender says. As he gives her the drink, he says, 'Ma 'am, I'm dying of curiosity. Why the Scotch with only two drops of water?'
The old woman replies , 'Sonny, when you're my age, you've learned how to hold your liquor. Holding your water, however, is a whole other issue.'
'OLD' IS WHEN... Your sweetie says, 'Let's go upstairs and make love,' and you answer, 'Pick one; I can't do both!'
'OLD' IS WHEN... Your friends compliment you on your new alligator shoes and you're barefoot.
'OLD' IS WHEN... A sexy babe catches your fancy and your pacemaker opens the garage door,
'OLD' IS WHEN... Going braless pulls all the wrinkles out of your face.
'OLD' IS WHEN. .. You don't care where your spouse goes, just as long as you don't have to go along.
'OLD' IS WHEN... You are cautioned to slow down by the doctor instead of by the police.
'OLD' IS WHEN. 'Getting a little action' means you don't need to take any fiber today.
'OLD' IS WHEN... 'Getting lucky'means you find your car in the parking lot.
'OLD' IS WHEN... An 'all nighter' means not getting up to use the bathroom.
AND 'OLD' IS WHEN... You are not sure these are jokes?
