A*N ACTUAL CRAIG'S LIST PERSONALS AD*


*To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown Savannah night
before last.*
*Date: 2013-11-27, 1:43 am . E.S.T.*
*I was the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you
demanded that I hand over, shortly after you pulled
the knife on me and my girlfriend, threatening our lives.
You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings.  I
can only hope that you somehow come across this rather
important message.*
*First, I'd like to apologize for your embarrassment; I
didn't expect you to actually crap in your pants when
I drew my pistol after you took my jacket.. The evening
was not that cold, and I was wearing the jacket for a
reason.. my girlfriend was happy that I just returned
safely from my 2nd tour as a CombatMarinein
Afghanistan .. She had just bought me that Kimber
Custom Model 1911 .45 ACP pistol for my birthday, and we
had picked up a shoulder holster for it that very evening.
Obviously you agree that it is a very intimidating weapon
when pointed at your head ... isn't it?!*
*I know it probably wasn't fun walking back to wherever
you'd come from with crap in your pants. I'm sure it
was even worse walking bare-footed since I made you leave
your shoes, cell phone, and wallet with me. (That
prevented you from calling or running to your buddies to
come help mug us again).*
*After I called your mother or Momma as you had her
listed in your cell, I explained the entire episode of
what you'd done. Then I went and filled up my gas tank as
well as those of four other people in the gas station, --
on your credit card. The guy with the big motor home took
153 gallons and was extremely grateful!*
*I gave your shoes to a homeless guy outside Vinnie Van Go
Go's, along with all the cash in your wallet. [That
made his day!]*
*I then threw your wallet into the big pink pimp mobile
that was parked at the curb . after I broke the
windshield and side window and keyed the entire driver's
side of the car.*
*Earlier, I managed to get in two threatening phone calls
to the DA's office and one to the FBI, while mentioning
President Obama as my possible target.*
*The FBI guy seemed really intense and we had a nice long
chat (I guess while he traced your number etc.).*
*In a way, perhaps I should apologize for not killing you
... but I feel this type of retribution
is a far more appropriate punishment for your threatened
crime. I wish you well as you try to sort through some of
these rather immediate pressing issues, and can only hope
that you have the opportunity to reflect upon, and perhaps
reconsider, the career path
you've chosen to pursue in life.. Remember, next time you
might not be so lucky. Have a good day!*
*Thoughtfully yours, **Semper fi,*
*Alex*

Thanks, Mitch.  The residue isn't wax but excessive orange oil furniture
polish.  I had some luck using warm water with a little dish detergent,
applied with wrung out rag and then wiped dry.

You sure did!

In fact, you said,

 Turpentine on a rag, outside.  Wipe it down, scrub it, whatever, to get 
 the old nasty stuff off (if indeed it is oil and not varnish or 
 shellac).  You can then put on more oil (tung oil or boiled linseed
 oil) or a Watco danish oil which is more like a varnish that you wipe
 on. You wipe it on, let it sit a few minutes, then wipe off the excess
 and let it dry.  You will want to do several coats, maybe a day in
 between but not a lot longer.  After a coat or two you might want to
 hit it with 400 or 600 grit sandpaper to take out the nibs, last time
 put on a thinned coat (mix in some of that turpentine), let it dry,
 then use some  steel wool and paste wax to buff it up, let it sit a
 few minutes then buff with a soft cloth.  Will look awesome.
 
 Or just give it to me.

My 300TD is now the proud owner of a refurbished drive shaft assembly, new

The disks were getting ragged and the center mount was torn free with a crunchy

Re: [MBZ] Quiet List?

2014-04-30 Thread arche...@embarqmail.com
I was driving my '83 300D beater through Crystal RIver which is a short 
distance from the outer edge of the tidal swamp that makes up the coast 
of this part of north central Florida when some big sea bird (probably a 
pelican) dumped a huge load of white feces on the hood.  I was on the 
way home so I didn't stop to clean it off.  By the time I arrived at the 
house, the pelicans present had dried and was barely removeable with a 
garden hose.  It stained the evenly oxidized blue finish of the beater, 
and as everyone knows, there is no way to get stain out of oxidized 
paint besides letting it continue to oxidize until the paint has 
powdered off and the stain is gone.
There are many advantages to having a Mercedes daily driver with 
oxidized paint.  No one envies me for having a Mercedes, and thieves 
don't even think about breaking into it since there is little likelihood 
of anything valuable being inside.
So you see, Randy, there are always problems with our old Mercedes.  
It's just that many are hardly worth discussing.


As far as discussing current events, Amanda Knox has once against been 
declared guilty of murdering her room mate by an Italian court.  Does 
anything think she  is guilty?  Not guilty? Personally I think she is 
guilty.


Mr. Sterlings team has been barred from playing in his league because 
Mr. Sterling said some bad words in private.  How is this justified in 
light of the Constitutions freedom of speech?

Re: [MBZ] Quiet List?

2014-04-30 Thread Curt Raymond
Actually my fleet has been chugging along nicely. The '84 190D has responded 
well to some highway flogging. You might remember I had some complaints about 
cold starts on it, after making the run to work a couple times and once to have 
breakfast with Fred its much improved. I order some diesel purge in my last 
order of VW parts which should finish the job.

The Jetta seems like it needs a glow plug or two, I put in a new glowplug 
harness which got the check engine light to shut off for awhile but its back. I 
need to get under the hood with the multi-meter. Apparently rounding off the 
flats on the glow plugs is very common on these so I'm nervous. Car starts 
perfectly, but its been so warm the glow plugs don't even come on.

The search for a Ranger replacement continues. Next to test is Nissan, Frontier 
and Titan. If we like it I'd consider buying a new Frontier, you can get them 
for around $25k which is nice and its all the truck we need.

Today's job for normal life was to convert my formerly corporate cell phone to 
an individual responsibility that the company gives me a stipend to have. 
Looks like my useage is low enough I'll actually be ahead $10 or $20/mo on the 
deal.

I feel your pain in regard to the bird issue. I had a similar scenario 
with my car a while back. My paint is not oxidized but it is apparently 
enamel without clear coat. The spot is still visible after washing etc. 
I have not tried to rub it out with some compound but that may help so I 
do have intention to try it.


As to the basketball ban, I could not agree with you more.

The whole politically correct nonsense is becoming a problem. The media 
loves this stuff and any poor soul who defies the politically correct 
agenda is hung out to dry.


Is it ok to be a bigot so long as you don't say anything that might give 
you away?


My basic feeling is that the black people are a  whole lot better off 
with a situation where they know who the bigots are than they are with a 
situation where  people keep their opinions quiet.

I was driving my '83 300D beater through Crystal RIver which is a 
short distance from the outer edge of the tidal swamp that makes up

(probably a pelican) dumped a huge load of white feces on the hood.  I 
was on the way home so I didn't stop to clean it off.  By the time I 
arrived at the house, the pelicans present had dried and was barely 
removeable with a garden hose.  It stained the evenly oxidized blue 
finish of the beater, and as everyone knows, there is no way to get 
stain out of oxidized paint besides letting it continue to oxidize 
until the paint has powdered off and the stain is gone.
There are many advantages to having a Mercedes daily driver with 
oxidized paint.  No one envies me for having a Mercedes, and thieves 
don't even think about breaking into it since there is little 
likelihood of anything valuable being inside.
So you see, Randy, there are always problems with our old Mercedes.  
It's just that many are hardly worth discussing.


As far as discussing current events, Amanda Knox has once against been 
declared guilty of murdering her room mate by an Italian court.  Does 
anything think she  is guilty?  Not guilty? Personally I think she is 
guilty.

1. I'd want to do those mods after I bought one.
2. I know exactly how the car was treated.

Sometimes little upgrades are just their way of giving a present to their

Menards certainly has an extensive assortment of screws. I do like some 
of the specialty ones intended for serious wood building. Available in 
quite long sizes, big self drilling threads, big heads with built in 
washers, and the torque  drive too, if I recall correctly. Not all that 
expensive either.

My 300TD is now the proud owner of a refurbished drive shaft assembly, new

with a crunchy bearing.
It is difficult to type whilst under the car, wrenches in hand dodging rain
drops.
