broadly interpretable is broadly appealing

i would appreciate seeing a poster that was just a giant "blow up" of the approval stamp.

re: refrigeration - a protip i learned from the amish community:

1 - get giant pieces of styrofoam, or lots of insulating material

2 - build a building out of it

3 - cut ice all winter long and put it in there

4 - enjoy your fridge.

enough ice and insulation and it'll last you all summer.

feel free to spike her coffee with cucumber juice.

wut?

seems like you'd have to start with "now" and work backwards, otherwise you'd never be able to start writing - or it would look something like this:

that was stupid

time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana

figured i'd drop this here - mods feel free to re-locate to a placed deemed more suitable.

i don't watch too much TV (no cable - 1 channel) but it seems like the o'reilly factor would be a good "Back Door" into the media.

i don't have internets at home, but would be willing to call the radio show with some sort of bullshit story.  it would be cool, methinks, if this was organized - i do have satellite radio, so should be able to catch the show and calls and stuff.  i figure the screeners can only think a story is bullshit for so long before they start taking it seriously.

from the site:

you can call "The Radio Factor" live on the air at 1-877-9-NO-SPIN (877-966-7746) weekdays from noon to 2 p.m. ET

so, who's gonna pick the day to call and the "story" to call about?

maybe hit hannity, et al. too?

principia is the only religion i know of that gives you an "out"

the last thing you read in the pentabarf is that a discordian is can't believe what he reads.

not: follow these commandments, OR ELSE!!!!

i curdn't help it.  this thread was bound to get jacked anyway.







'Kay, so . . . good puns come   from age

fake cheese was not a gouda idea

dunno - haven't decided what kind of siding to put on it.  the roof and trim are green, so red would be pretty dang christmas-y - but, it's ultimately up to the wife.

BUILT A BARN!!

This is a hole – it's 54" deep and about 14" diameter.  I dug 20 of them.  It sucked.  Yes I am aware you can rent augers.  I borrowed a tractor with an auger on the back – finishing the hole by hand still sucked.  There's 6" of concrete at the bottom.




Here are some poles.  Getting them in the hole without caving in one side was kinda tricky – especially with the really tall poles.  Getting them in just the right spot and plumb was a bitch.



Lesser known fact:  The boards connecting the poles are called girts.  This part was fun – but all the nailing screwed up my wrists and gave me carpal tunnel.  (Pro-tip: don't use hammers with steel handles – use wood.)



Here's some trusses up.  We mounted a beam in the bucket of aforementioned tractor and used it like a crane.  Worked pretty slick.  Climbing around on wobbly trusses that aren't braced up to anything yet is kinda scary.



Here's some more trusses up.  Lesser known fact:  the boards that are nailed to the truss are called purlins.  If you squint real hard, you can see some temporary purlins in this picture.  (like my T-shirt?)



Booya – gots a roof on the sucka.  Had some help with that – thank god. 



Here's another shot – see what I did there?  That's a third garage door.  That will come in handy when there's shit in the back of the barn that I want to get out and there's cars parked in front of the other two doors.




And looky here – it's the inside.   

if you want a real change, change your mind.
