Ha! If you can find a good joke anywhere, I'm down.
The brand name is Mobic, which actually sounds kinda cool and plays up it's intended use.
Mobic is much, much better!
As far as me finding a good joke somewhere, it is as likely that I find the Seven Cities of Gold of years gone by. Hmm, come to think of it, Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca, was tied to that myth. Cabeza de Vaca roughly translates to Head of the Cow, right? There has to be a joke in there, too. I haven't figured that one out yet either.

Exactly! And I keep thinking that I won't get back those minutes or seconds that I wasted reading and fretting about what I read.

Took it to the 27th Annual Trans Am Nationals today. Too many first year Trans Ams in my category...which will make it difficult. They aren't particularly well executed(meaning the cars aren't detailed so well) but because they are rare and famous/infamous it tends to sway the judging.

Quiet here today. Only posts in Nascar and soccer threads. Two which I have not/do not read. If you want to talk about me behind my back, those are both a good place to do it! ;)

I took a closer look today at the Trans Am's and I was a bit dismissive last night(ok, so I was biased). They were very nice cars. The final judging had me 3rd behind two to the three Trans Am's. I'm very satisfied with the results.

I'll be glad to set up a thread devoted to all things Jeter, if there was any interest. ;)
