I bet you are the biggest redneck in Ireland! (If you are not, just lie and say you are.... or you will ruin the image I have of you)

Hobie has never heard of a flea circus? I can't be friends with you anymore Hobie. You are way too cultured and sophisticated for me.

Maybe he knows he can't win but he's hoping he can get the fines reduced.

The original ones did! Here's David Attenborough showing a couple of performing fleas. The one we saw is worked with magnets, pulleys and showmanship to feed the kids' imaginations. It looked virtually identical to the one in this video.

That's nuts! I don't care WHAT they did ( unless they killed somebody!), NOTHING deserves THAT! McLaren is trying to be as good as Ferrari! HA!! Good luck with that!

Today is March 17th, and I live in Ireland, so it won't surprise y'all to know that I went to the St. Patrick's Day parade this afternoon. It probably also won't surprise anyone that it rained on and off for a lot of the day. It obviously wasn't on the scale of places like Dublin, but the kids in the parade seemed to be having a good time despite the weather. After that, we saw a genuine old-fashioned flea circus! Hopefully the weather will be better tomorrow so that I can go on the Ferris wheel and antique carousel.

The Dukes And replied to his own post! Unless the thread needs kick-starting after a long period of inactivity, can we please take turns? Also, Skipper, please post something we have a chance of replying to. "Jerry Dandridge (Fright Night) and Regine Dandridge (Fright Night II)" does not fit into the easy to reply to category. I'd have to google those names even to know who they are. Keep it simple!

Hobie went from waltz to vampire? Okay, we'll just go with Skipper's response and I'll say..... TOM and JERRY

RIGHT NOW: I'm watching The Dukes of Hazzard with Johnny Knoxville....on cable IFC 5:45-8 pm...central

WHAT is a flea circus?? ( surely there are no FLEAS involved!)

(Season 4 Goodbye, General Lee)Waylon Jennings:(About Bo & Luke's temporary yellow car he called "Old Yeller"."Friends, she's got the might. But I don't think she's got the moves."(Car makes jump successfully.):"Well, I reckon it's all in who's in the driver's seat."

There ya go Roger. Since my local Iowa boy isn't good enough for you. I'd have to look tomorrow.

In The Hazzardville Horror, the bad guys stole and melted SILVER

(Season 4 Trouble at Cooter's) Waylon Jennings:"That was old Rhuebottom's General Store. Boss Hogg foreclosed on Rhuebottom's to use his store room to warehouse his stolen merchandise. Boss eased his conscience by sending Rhuebottom a turkey. And it was spoiled."

Well despite what I said...looks like Denny Hamlin is going to try to fight his fines and penalties. Good luck with that...as I said, he came out and admitted he intentionally wrecked Ross Chastain. Which is against the rules. So, I don't know what he thinks will happen by appealing the punishment. Time will tell.

You guys should watch more Formula 1 if you think $400k is a big fine. Last year, the Red Bull team was fined $7m for breaching the 2021 spending cap, and have had their aerodynamic testing time reduced. The Aston Martin team was also found guilty of a lesser charge and fined $450k. Both pale next to the fine given to McLaren in 2007 over the Spygate incident. McLaren was found to be in possession of technical data belonging to rivals Ferrari. They were fined $100m and excluded from the Constructors' Championship that year. From what I could find online, it looks like they ended up paying about $31m. These and other F1 fines can be found in a list here.
