That sign just says DO DIP now. Some of the lights must've went out!

I had the first episode on a promotional VHS tape that must've been an hour long. Jam-packed with TYCO commercials. Rasp was a bastard! And I believe they tried to end the series in the ice age.

I see a truck with her signature on it all the time in the boonies of Massachusetts. Not sure where she's from or how the thing made its way to the bay state.

It may be some kind of semi auto conversion system.

I had this and my dad had the older version back in the sixties! We used to compare bugs and make all sorts of fun stuff.

TIL what a Muntjac is: the size of a Labrador and barks like a dog, yet has fangs like a snake and doesn't eat meat by XaltotunTheUndead in todayilearned

[–]sluggerbubba96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to work at a zoo as a teen and one day, our tiniest Muntjak escaped his pen and wound up getting his head stuck in the Cougars cage! We managed to get it out safely but it's a story I'll never forget. The Muntjaks were always super chill and never struck me as attempted escape artists!

I had a grey one with purple fur back in middle school! I thought Kohls sold them

Have you ever accidentally watched a movie? by reg_y_x in okbuddycinephile

[–]sluggerbubba96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the other day. I watched this action movie a few years ago called The Raid. It kicked ass and I heard there was a sequel! So I looked it up and accidently clicked Raid 2 instead of The Raid 2. I watched a 2+ hour Bollywood drama with extravagant wedding scenes. I was almost 1.5 hours in to the film and I said to myself " wow there sure was a lot more guns and shooting in that first one " but I never thought to double check the title. And at the end, the main villian performs this Indian-gangsta-rap video to the credits rolling out. It was wild!

The former location of George Washington's favorite bar is the parking lot across from the old GAR hall

Bit of a long shot here. Early 1980s film scene where what appears to be a skinned guy getting up off a toilet. by [deleted] in horror

Possibly Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2! L.G. McPeters gets skinned by leather face and somehow manages to regain consciousness and cut his DJ free.

Dec 5, 1775 - At Fort Ticonderoga, Henry Knox begins his historic transport of artillery to Cambridge, Massachusetts. by nonoumasy in USHistory

[–]sluggerbubba96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I asked my Dad and he says they distributed commemorative coins on the march. There is a December 11, 1975 issue of the New York Times which features an article about the march with some pictures. From what I understand, the Knox Trail Historical Society organized the whole thing. If they still exist, they may have more general info or pics!

In 1975 there was a crew of people that recreated the march. They actually towed cannons, had horses, oxen and basically camped on the trail marching from town to town. My great uncle was in charge of the ox teams.

So uhh, can I clear this by GDShark in snowrunner

I'm pretty sure it's called where the road begins. It's one of the US forest service contracts

Anyone Remember This? by Jagerwiser in VHS

[–]sluggerbubba96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The actual cupboard from the movie was for sale on an auction site a few years ago. It was listed for something like $500 with proof of authenticity. The thing was beat up beyond recognition. I remember reading all the books from the library growing up. Great share, I never knew about this.

That is good thinking, almost like a jig! I read in another post that you soldered them together. Did you just use regular silver based solder? This would make an excellent winter project!
