I couldnt get the thought of Scotts Riibbs off my mind last week, the family and hung out at the house for a While on the 4th, so I hit Sams club and bought some of their massive ribs, bought some mesquit rub, used my the rotaiser for the first time, had that temp at 240* for about 3.5 hours when the ribs just hit the right temp. rubbed it down with some Sweet Rays barby sauce...wasnt bad.. Now that I figured out how to just keep the temp at 200*, I will be attempting another set ribs here in the future, maybe with a different rub.....and a little Jack Daniels oak barrel smoke...

Hope everyone Had a Great 4th!!!!

I'm not sure I know what it means either Kris, but...at least you've proven that you don't give up easily. And in any good relationship, you'll need persistence, and communication (and great sexx...ehem, I mean, what?..who just said that).
I had a cop friend who worked in DC and was tellin me that they used to let the ugly girls go and give the hot girls tickets..he said it was because the hot girls already got away with so much using the "helpless girl with *****" senerio so they would give them the ticket and let the ugly girls get away without a ticket so they would feel better about them selves I guess

And Lisa your right about what you need in a good relationship, those are 3 good points, I might put them in a different order though....

That's a cop I'd gladly buy a beer!! It's funny when people think they should get something extra for being attractive. I will say though that some guys will jump to do stuff for a good-looking girl, without them asking for a thing. That kind of guy's just a schmuck IMHO.

I guess you could sub either letter in there. I was having a good time, but I don't think I was having that good of a time.

That was a nice Duck too.

Of course I knew what you were talking about, I was just trying to pump some life into this thread. My wife always wanted a pet goose. Well I had a chance to get one while visiting one of my sisters in Kentucky. Her father- in-law had several of them and said I could have one and he would catch it for me. I was there in my motor home by myself and it was about 600 miles back to my at the time home in NY. Took the old fellow several hours to rope this goose. He brings it to me on a leash to my motor home door. I think, man, this is effin dumb!! How in the Hell am I going to make a 600 mile trip with a 30 pound nearly wild goose in my impeccably cared for motor home? Shower stall? Good idea, yeah right.....LOL.....That gooses new neighborhood ended up being at the first rest area off of I-71 that had a large picnic area, and I got out of there as fast as I could. Now you kids know what I mean when I say there is most likely nothing you can come up with to try in your lives that I have not already taken a shot at.

Hes a good guy and funny as hell too, I wont deny the fact that Ive done stuff for a girl, but I never jumped to do it and she had to ask for it, and I knew them and liked them or what not. Im usally an a-hole so I dont go around jumping up for girls.

Mark, after talking to you on here a bit, theres nothing that you could have done that would suprise me anymore

My mom did have some pet ducks when she was living next to a canal in FL when she was younger, the gators got most of them though.

That's awesome. I know quite a few women who slide through life mystifying people with their looks and charm. Unfortunately I also know some older women whose looks faded away years ago, and here they are, stuck. They no longer have their looks to rely on, and are completely clueless and unable to take care of themselves or complete the most miniscule tasks.

I have gotten a few tickets, gotten out of more than a few tickets. Makes me wonder which side of the spectrum I reside on.

We had some pet ducks when my dad lived in Grand Junction. They were okay, mostly just ran around the yard in a big line and quacked and ****t everywhere. He did have some of those little chickens with the hairy feet though. One little rooster in particular, named a$$****...would scratch at the ground like a charging bull and would chase everyone all over the yard.

I have had about 7-8 tickets and only gotten out of 2 tickets, both of those have been in the past year. One was for no flaps, I did play dumb on that one even though Troy had got a warning less than 2 months before. The other one was for forgetting to turn my lights back on after I left a stop light, I turned them off because I was blinding the guy in front of me.

Most male cops prolly dont follow that rule though and even though I missed the imfamous picture of you, from what Ive heard the others say I wouldnt worry about it...lol

Ive seen some of those women who just have good looks get married to a rich guy and everthings fine till they lose all their money and she has to go find a job, its usally a low paying office job. Happend to a few people I knows parents.

I tend not to wish people harm, but in cases like that (and the rare guy that qualifies too) it's not so much "harm" as it is a wish for a reality check.

You reside in the spectrum where you don't need the looks to get by; you've got the brains & gumption to be just fine; but still have it goin' on if you wanted to play that girl card quite easily.


Looks are great, and sometimes can be used to help "grease the wheels".... but it's the women with the brains & go-getter attitude that really gets a guy like me going! That, and a nice badonk-a-donk don't hurt neither!!!

Wow thanks Brendan, and Chris. & Cris, I swear the last ticket I got was because the cop didn't think a woman should be driving a truck like mine, maybe that has something to do with it. I think you need a pair of big rig mudflaps.

I'm the same way with men. I like ambition, intelligence, and honesty, and maybe a nice deep voice or Southern drawl . Those guys that have more mirror time than most women never did much for me.

Hehe...honky tonk badonkadonk. I have that as the ringtone on my phone. When Randy and I go out in public and my phone rings he just gives me this look that screams "why do you insist on embarassing me in this way". lol.
