But the idea... It's kind of like when I was still in nursing school. We
drank apple juice out of (wrapped and sterile) urine cups. Gets quite a
reaction from onlookers.

Engrish is one of my absolute favorite sites! I also likes <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.wiggaz.com" target="_blank">www.wiggaz.com</a> -

Oh, don't get me started on MREs (Meals, ready-to-eat)! That crap could gag
a maggot. I have a pic of myself during 'Red Flag', which is war games. I
looked dyspeptic, but in all fairness, I was in the early stages of pregnancy
at the time (Got me out of a 10 mile maneuver in the desert)

Oh, yeah! Find your local Bling shop and ask them for castaways! I am
going to try that with my Hachiroku (I found out about a Northeast
Hachiroku assoc. in upper N.Y., about 59 miles from here!)

By the way, stranger, you always seem to come back in the 'Nick' of time! <!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

And you complain about me wanting to sting a few car wash droids
when they scam ashtray pocket change out of peoples cars. (Not doing
it, just figuring out how to make it work.)

Pot, meet Kettle. Kettle, Pot.

I like playing with people's heads a little too, and that sample cup
gag is a good one. If people want to believe, you can easily "sell"
Corn Syrup and Red Food Coloring as blood.

But you have to be careful just how far you go when playing mind
games on people, they can kill. Literally.

Have I told you the Roofer Initiation Trick that can backfire badly?
Short version: Someone on the roof (out of view) shouts "Look out!
Hot tar!" and NFL-style dumps a cooler full of ice water on new worker
on ground. Worker thinks he's just been drenched in 450F tar, the
nerve endings agree (because they can't tell the difference between
severe hot and cold) and the drenchee goes into shock and dies.

I like my 'hachiroku'! Best car I ever had!

hachiroku from the Japanese mean 8 6. The model number of the 1984-87
Corolla GTS as sold in the US (Or Levin or Trueno in the rest of the
world) is AE86. Say hachiroku or 8 6 to anybody under thirty and they will
know exactly what you are talking about. Same engine as your FX16,
slightly bigger body, hellatious for drifting.

I have two pix in my office of hachirokus drifting. Big billowing clouds
of smoke from the rear tires. They say "Out on a test drive, back in 15
mins" or "...30 mins".

These two kids came in, said Hi and one said "Here's the pictures", walked
over to the wall and took them down. I looked at them, and one said That's
my SHO you guys are fixing. All the time his buddy is looking at the pix
and nodding. I asked him if he knew what hachiroku meant. "8 6, Corolla
GTS" right off the bat. Told him I had one in my back yard. Eyes lit
up..."Don't even ask!" before he could say anything!<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

This isn't as deviant as the specimen cups, but people remark about the nice
wide strainer with the very fine mesh I use when I am emptying the oil from
deep-frying turkeys. I tell them that the guy who gave it to me's wife is a
nurse...
