What's the WORST thing someone said about your Cobra?

[Fred Douglass]

Everyone,
This one was witnessed (at least in Stage II) by lotso Carpenteria citizens: A lady in a bright red Miata was in the starboard lane at the lights just outside the main (large) mall and she YELLED over: "Is that the new Miata?" I just pointed to the P-lot, made a right-hand turn from the left lane (I still was on Jamo's insurance ---just kiddin' Ronster) and followed her into the mall. Parked next to her car---hence this strange comparao---the Butler looked (and probably was) SMALLER than the Miata. She repeated her question and I responded "Why yes it is...". She then said "What are those loud pipes?" I said, "Oh, just aftermarket add-ons---mostly for looks..."

Your wish is my command---we could go farther down the food chain---the Leeside, p'raps? Lunch could be 4-6 Sapphire G&Ts.....BUTT.....The main ideas were: 1) to see some of the bipedal organisms, and 2) take you to Blake (Deep Submergence Lab) to see "Jason" (Ballard's robotic submersible). And therefrom to steal some pahts for our cars! 3) the Pete C entourage stays at the "Cliff House" (in-laws' renter with unparalelled ocean views, and then 4) heads for Casa Phreddie in Five Islands, Maine and points Eastward thence..

Casa,
Agreed, BUTT I hope to GAWD that someone taped these two beauties from the Man Show: 1) the "talking" deer tied to the station-wagon fender and 2) the "men's fashion show" in wh/ they featured a revolting nose-hair wearing black socks, a red Speedo and black lace-up chews AND a retiree from Port Charlotte (Fla) with color coordinated everything right down to the colostomy bag.... I am going to check "Movies Unlimited" (1-800-4-MOVIES) to see if they've got a "Best of the Man Show" compendium.....!!! NOTE to all movie-buffs---this is the greatest VHS/DVD warehouse on the planet.

Hal, Jamo,
It's 8 degrees F outside now---and I STILL can't wait to pop open the shed and fire her up!!!! Remember the Cushman scooter ride in "Dumber"?

Everyone,
By the way, the Miata woman continued her original question: "Is yours smaller?" Jamo, you already KNOW the deadpan mime that followed.....let's just say that I hooked my vestigial thumbs into the waistband of me shorts....yah, you got the picture...(It brought down the House).....
