Chicken wings = bar food. You can make then 1,000 ways and still not please someone. They are good but over-rated type of food. I can tell what I like. But that's not what others may like.

It's like the Mob. The shenanigans, cheating will stop.

I also heard "Ponies" up in Middleport good to. But, never tried them. Another Irish Pub...

Both. I need a jumpstart though. I can easily go both ways.

Like Gugny said. Yet... Extreme Early "Cosplay" type stuff for the freaks out there. Hard to take seriously.

I was wondering how they caught on fire! I thought something was short-circuiting... Yeah... I didn't look close enough, it was fast video, to see if there was a third rail. I wonder how that works with snow and ice... If it arcs or flashes, debris catches fire? Thanks!!!

Check out the train track catching fire in Chicago. Must be electric?

Got half right, leave hook at the top of the water column. But they have to stumble into the hook accidentally. You know, with their mouth always stuck open like it is, it's hard to bite. ?

Look it up. Preferably an .edu site, not your usual Wikipedia or at a @Cripple Creek BS "Sportsmen" sites... Those guys generally know jack-shist and spread misconceptions down through the generations. ?

??? Typical lawyer! Get with it my Man! COMMON carp feed off the bottom. Asian carp feed off the TOP of the water column, near the surface. Don't spread misconceptions. The top of the water column is the cleanest. Contains the least amount of toxins and the most nutrients. Virtually no heavy metals like Mercury (Hg) as found in game fish like salmon that prey on smaller feeder fish. Fish that eat other fish are generally more polluted than filter feeders like bighead & silver Asian carp. That be the truth. Common carp muck around the bottom. Silver & bighead Asian carp feed at the top of the water... Why silver Asian carp tend to leap out of water when disturbed by boat motors @ certain high rpm's. ?

Can we get aid like they do down South with hurricanes... We still have Fed aid being sent down there. Or... Do we have to dig ourselves out and collect income tax from our citizens?

Hottest was 104° here in Illinois, 1995 heat wave. My cd changer on stereo rig malfunctioned after we lost power (and A/C )... ? Muggy hot is brutal. Rather -40°... Can always heat up, but not cool down!!

-30°F, Arrowhead of Minnesota, Lutsen Mountains... Near Thunder Bay, Ontario. Sunrise over L Superior skiing SouthEast w/my son... January 2016... This run: It was so bad cold-wise... I covered my camera and goggles through the snow gun halfway through. Would have been doomed at those temps getting pasted with snow.

Co-worker just got back from Florida helping out cleaning up after hurricane (yeah, they are still fixing things)... He brought me back a jacket he swapped for a few work our baseball caps. It's a fleece lined short jacket. The guy down @ Jacksonville District (Corps of Engineers) called it a "parka." You gotta be kidding. That ain't no "parka." Parkas have hoods! It's a freaking spring jacket! Maybe it's the inside layer of parka under the shell. LoL! It would suck if a furnace goes down. It is now -10°F (actual temp). Exposed flesh becomes frostbiten in just minutes.

Speaking of "eagles"...You jogged my memory: Anybody mention this? ^^^^ (1968)

No. There is always peace in the Valley w/me. I am not a jerk. I am very easy... Contrary to what @BringBackFergy says. Don't listen to them. Don't listen to him about trucks and guys who quote lyrics too, but besides that, is a rather stand-up guy! "...Oh sure the banner may be torn and the wind's gotten colderPerhaps I've grown a little cynicalBut I know no matter what the waitress bringsI shall drink it and always be full, yeah I will drink it and always be full..." I always tip 20-25% no matter the experience. People like @Johnny Hammersticks worked hard servicing old battle axes like Old Lady Singer.

Gonna be another cold blast and some snow in the coming days. Funny... I almost 9 years old in 1977... But I don't really remember storm, I remember the 1976 Ice Storm more!

Gonna be a lot of stink there! LoL... Covered in trust fund baby cologne!

My older sister in Florida, theme song:

Cold tolerance is acquired. I just wore a hoodie to work today and it was -4°, 12° now. I am so screwed if i break down. I should probably throw a coat in my truck. I do have work gloves, hat, blanket, and chocolate bars... Probably should throw a sleeping bag too. But... Most important, got a phone to call my wife! LoL... She has heated seats and steering wheel! ?

You replying to me? Then man up and just do it. But if you want the last word because I didn't get the notification, then have at it. You simply don't know what happened either. I am throwing a lot out there. What we do know what happened is they were duped off the plane. Humiliated. Then their stuff flew away and left shut out of their ride home until the morning. That's pretty much documented and agreed with. How is that better...??

I like the change of seasons, the snow. Just not too much to keep you always shoveling. I just wish it would stay 15° from Thanksgiving to Easter... Then go right to spring. Snow, stay frozen.. Mud, the up and down sucks.

Don't feel your position so deeply and you won't feel the need to use profanity and react strongly to the stupid arguments you get yourself into on the internet. I simply side with the family mainly because of the airlines refusal to not give their stuff back. Again, I can agree with American Airlines decision if they just made everybody wait and got the family's stuff off. These are lives and emotions your fellow industry co-workers are effing with. Again, if people were really bothered by the smell... They can wait. Everybody work a little harder. Passengers want somebody removed simply over BO (very subjective) then the airlines can do the job right. Planes wait all the time when it suits the airlines or there are mechanical issues. Make these people whole, right then and there. Be fair and stop taking yourself so seriously. You make some good points, I understand what you are saying... Now meet the alleged smelly family half way. Everybody is in this together.

You have faith in your chosen field. That's admirable. Glad you speak for your profession. You should be a spokesperson. Agree to disagree. Don't you have a plane to fly. Now, lock yourself in there and speak when you're spoken too. ?

Nice! Mods helping Mods!
