This first one seems to predict the internet and some of my experiences with it
:"Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance." - George Bernard Shaw
It's easy to doubt yourself once in a while:
"Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong." - Oscar Wilde
Maybe because my age is currently the same as the answer to "Life, the Universe and Everything" I can relate to these:
"I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by." - Douglas Adams
"A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools." - Douglas Adams
I recently found this one: "People who are unable to lie, think that everybody is unable to lie", Kafka.Here's what George Bernard Shaw had to say about liars:
"The liar's punishment is not in the least that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else."

I've just read a couple of articles which speculate that Brad Keselowski may just get a six point penalty as that's what Martin Truex Jr got for being too low at Texas. The previous penalty would be irrelevant because it's a different infraction. It would drop Brad from 8th to 10th, just a few points ahead of Jeff Gordon.

So I for one am happy with that....and upset about the whole JJ deal. But will keep my opinion to myself on that topic...
I'm surprised they don't have an overhead camera angle to make things easier to see on restarts. In the Monaco Grand Prix last week there were a few occasions where drivers cut chicanes during overtaking moves. In F1 there's a rule that if you gain or keep a place by going off-track, you have to give up that place. If JJ had just been told to give the place back rather than getting black flagged, it might have worked out better.
Though Hoss, you will be happy to know that Ricky Stenhouse Jr, as of right now, is leading for rookie of the year. So far beating out his girl friend, Danica Patrick.Do you want to re-phrase that - you make him sound like Chris Brown.

I'm going to steal the whole title again
.I don't know if this track is dubstep or drum and bass (or should that be drum 'n' bass?). Either way, I think it's the first of its genre in this thread.
The video contains some '80s-style arcade machine action.

After the whole incident David got out of his car and talk or confront Ryan about it.
I thought both drivers handled the incident with a lot more restraint than you see most of the time (no raised fists or thrown crash helmets).
Ricky looked like he was on for a top ten finish after the last restart, but I suppose I can be reasonably happy with 13th. He did get the 'Lucky Dog' after the Gilliland/Newman crash.
I'm always amused by the commentators making a big deal of the engines revving to 9,000 rpm. Some models of Honda's 2-seater sports car the S2000 revved to 9,200 rpm. F1 engines are currently limited to 18,000 rpm, but have been taken to 21,000 rpm in unrestricted testing.

Garrett, your drivers are starting either side of Ricky - they'd better not hit him at the start

There's already a thread for this in the 'James Best / Rosco P. Coltrane' section:

Duck Dynasty
in TV
There are a lot of things on the history channel now that I'm not sure counts as history. LOL.I'm old enough to remember when MTV showed music

Thanks for the updates, Garrett. I was only able to watch the race up to the first red flag. I've caught up with some of the incidents on NASCAR.com.

Duck Dynasty
in TV
For anyone in the UK or Ireland who's interested in watching Duck Dynasty, it's coming to The History Channel on Thursday 30th May at 10 PM. I'm not sure how it counts as "history", but you can read more here:

The white letter tires make me think this car is from the 2005 movie. I can't see the damage or the scrapes too clearly, but it looks like it could possibly be the one detailed in this article.

There's only one motor race that matters this Sunday - to quote Jenson Button: "Monaco baby"

Roger, it sounds like you've been unlucky - computers aren't always that bad.
I have mainly good news to report. My replacement laptop arrived today, and I'm nearly back in business. I just need to tie down what I assume is a software setting that's intermittantly interrupting my internet connection. :)/:(

I saw a floorplan ones on wekke's photobucket account, I might have it saved somewhere on my local hard drive.
Follow the link I posted and you'll see Wekke's floorplan (it's on page 2). Alternatively, it's here:

Do someone remember a thread about the farm's floor plan?
I think Roger posted something 'bout it.
I think the thread you're after is here. Wekke sketched out his version of the floor plan, and there was some discussion about the number of bedrooms/bathrooms. I might have a look myself when I get my own computer up and running again.

Sadly, today's post is another tribute. I've just read that Ray Manzarek, co-founder and keyboardist of The Doors, has died at the age of 74. I've posted several Doors songs before, so I'll stick to thread rules and link this one to the previous one (Ray is the one with glasses):
Love Me Two Times - The Doors

... do we really need the top posts on the side?
You can easily get rid of the sidebar by clicking on the double arrow. This also has the benefit of giving more width to the regular forum, and thus reduces the amount of orange on-screen. The ads that I object to are the ones inside the first post on each page - they wordwrap the text and scale all images in that post to 740 px wide.

Thanks for the update Garrett. That rain delay ended my chances of being able to stay up for the finish. I think I dozed off after the first 20 laps and woke up to see Ricky's crew patching up his car. At that point I thought it best to get some sleep. It sounds like I didn't miss much.
I'm still not sure that I see a reason for this race. To me it seems to be pointless in more than just the scoring. It's very early in the season to separate half the field, and the fact that the rules get changed nearly every year, and have to have a long explanation before the race, indicate to me that NASCAR are still searching for a way to justify this event. That just my £0.013 (today's rough Sterling equivalent of two cents
). -
It's also mentioned in the episode guide for 'One Armed Bandits' on the HNet home page. There's even a small picture:

I wonder if a toasted sandwich maker would fix it?
I wrote this last night as a joke, but I was looking for solutions for someone else's computer problem earlier when I came across a video on YouTube that recommended taking out the main board and baking it in an oven. My suggestion doesn't sound so mad now

Roth, feel free to post additional maps/aerials etc., but can we stick to CDoherty's location numbering system - it will help to avoid confusion:

But I agree with the text at the top of the picture

I thought they might have used one of the impound yard signs from the show to decorate their workshop, but it doesn't match any of the screengrabs I have. Maybe they got the props department to make one in a similar style.
