It's a picture of someone removing or installing the second firing pin spring cup on a Glock.

Because 44.1 oz is the point where blatant excess crosses over to gluttony. What if the Hokey Pokey really is what it's all about? -
I admire, and have been moved by, many bands and artists. Choosing a favorite is difficult because my taste in music crosses many genres, but ultimately, I have to give the nod to Pink Floyd. I was lucky enough to see them perform live twice. The first time, at Hughes stadium in Sacramento during the Momentary Lapse Of Reason tour, was on a night when rain threatened the entire time, but thankfully never materialized. However, the low, dark clouds that covered the stadium made the laser light component of the show absolutely surreal. The bed prop (paying homage to the album cover), that raced above our heads on cables strung above the stadium floor, appeared out of the clouds accompanied by distant lightning and a thunder clap. The timing was impossibly perfect and drew oohs and aahs from everyone realizing they had just witnessed something truly amazing and perfectly magical. The band was also flawless, making it a truly memorable 2nd date with my then-new girlfriend who is now my wife of 20 years. The second time we saw them was at the Oakland Coliseum during the Division Bell tour. While the perfect weather may not have lent itself to the spectacular natural show we had in Sacramento, the band and the elaborate production did not disappoint. Particularly memorable was the performance of Great Gig In The Sky. The song seemed to go on into eternity, and that was fine with us as we were enjoying every second of it as if they may have been our last moments on earth. Both shows made for that kind of a night that you hope will never end, and they still rank, respectively, as the #1 and #2 concerts that I have ever attended.

Transexuals, of course. Is it rude for a deaf person to talk (sign) with their mouth full of food? -
Wow, just wow! I thought that picture would be almost impossible to guess, but you got it. Well done! I post something that actually looks like a dildo, yet no one guesses dildo. Simply amazing. Here's the full image.

^ Nice work!

WooHoo! Being a mechanic has helped me twice now. This is NOT what it looks like. You can guess "Dildo" all you want, but this is NOT a dildo. If it were a dildo, I'd feel kind of sorry for whoever was using it, as it's pretty small. I will be surprised if anyone guesses this one. For what it's worth as a clue, this image has been rotated.

Yeth, I can thay Roth Swith without a thmile. Why is lisp a word that makes you notice someone with a lisp when they say it? -
It's the primer pump you had to replace.

I believe I've heard or read before that people have varying levels of sensitivity to specific tastes. Maybe I'm just particularly sensitive to whatever is different in Pibb Xtra, and it's a flavor, or combination of flavors, that I don't care for. I most certainly can tell the difference though.

Hurley has always been a character that's easy to like. Daniel coming back seemed inevitable, and it's probably a good thing that we have an expert on time travel back to hopefully offer some explanations. We get a nice back story on Miles and that's great, but what I don't care for is how long it's taken to get so many of these character back stories, and how unclear it is as to what they actually have to do with each other. Some of the characters whose back stories were told long ago have now essentially disappeared from the overall story. Among the more notable (at least to me) would be Locke's dad. Yeah, I know Sawyer killed him, but death doesn't seem to preclude anyone from popping back into the story at any time. We also still have Walt and Michael floating around who-knows-where. Claire has been largely ignored for a while now, as have Bernard and Rose, Anna Lucia, Charlie, and many other characters that just aren't popping into my mind at the moment. All those characters had their back stories told in such a way that we could make an emotional investment in the character, only to have them put up on a shelf. The problem that I see them running into to is: There will be far too many intertwined stories to wrap up before this show ends its run. That being the likely case, why did they waste our time by elaborating on people that, in the end, won't be able to be included in any finality of the show simply due to the excessive number of characters involved? Unless, maybe, they have some great unifying storyline, I can't help but think that the ultimate ending is going to be a let down.

I believe what you're thinking of is called a "gun".

Because they couldn't let people have their cake and eat pie too. Why do we drive on a parkway and park on a driveway? -

How Often Do You Go To Your Local Park?
Mechanic replied to sfmmrules!'s topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
We go to SFDK about 5 or 6 times a season. I didn't go to CGA at all last year, and don't have any plans to go until they add something good. We also usually go to Gilroy Gardens and Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk at least once a year. Much like the OP, if I lived in Southern California, I believe I would be at either SFMM or the DLR much more often than we visit the parks closer to us here in NorCal. -
Were the seat part to fail, it would indeed become an unintentional dildo. Anyone that guessed dildo would therefore be correct.

I thought it was for "stress testing". Ok, that's it for me and the ACE jokes. For a while at least. -
Post your milestone coasters

#50 was Deja Vu at SFMM. That's it for my coaster count at the present time, but I do hope I can add to it soon.
