funny pic thread

[mudpuppy]

^^^I'm more interested in how the UPS truck got there. Was he baja-ing down the riverbed (Go Dale!) or did he simply back into it?

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

^ That pic has to be some kind of chop job.

Or its a "hey, I got drunk the night before my wedding, stole this sewing machine hotwired that UPS truck while the driver wasn't looking, drove it up a dry riverbed and crashed it into the bank; Now I'm standing here in my tux taking this picture; if only that driver and those cops knew...."

the sewing machine at a wedding doesn't phase me at all - I have stood in enough weddings to know that the brides and bridesmaids dresses never fit right, and some family member has volunteered to provide alterations on the spot. "Call Aunt Lucy, she has that travel sewing machine that works great"

This guy is a groomsman or usher (red boutonnière, not white) that showed up as he was told, 4 hours before the wedding even though nobody else did and he won't be needed until 10 minutes before the wedding. He was sitting around, trying to stay out of the way and figuring out where he could get a drink when aunt Lucy asked him to run down to her 85 Buick and get the sewing machine - primarily because the female wedding party is currently in various states of undress. The groom has not shown up yet.

The fathers are standing around outside, smoking and watching all the commotion. The photographer has migrated out to be with them since they are paying the bills.

The street is closed for a public works project and the old UPS guy thought he could navigate the sidewalk so he backed down the sidewalk because G-dammit it's Saturday and I'll be dammed if I'm going to walk farther than I have to. Unfortunately the transmission has some play in it and putting it in park wasn't enough. He slid right down the hill on the tall grass.

Interesting...could you go into a little more detail?

why yes, I can -

That certainly explains the UPS truck...but I am still perplexed by the dude in the tux holding a sewing machine.

I'm telling ya, the wedding party explanation is probably dead-on. People always have weddings at those old campus halls.

ODB, I plan to build a BBQ with some of those blocks. I have a few questions:
1) How many such blocks should I use to build a 3 X 5 X 1.5 foot BBQ?

2) Could you deliver that number to me?

3) What is the UL number of those blocks so I can determine fire resistance rating of them?

Wasn't this a construction depth question? Maybe that's why the guy is so pissy...

So being green is easy?

^^ Easier than being a fluffy, white bunny in a ski hat, apparently.
