I just got jolted from my hammock by a loudspeaker blaring a grand-opening announcement from a little yellow airplane. The car and truck ad blasters are quite enough noise, thank you very much. My peace is thoroughly disturbed. How modern will Loreto Get?

An orange juice can full of steel wool placed over the barrel of a .22 makes an effective silencer. :biggrin:

How DO you come up with this arcane information? I have to say that I am very curious to know about the childhoods of some of the fellows on here...somehow the boys seem to get more of this kind of knowledge than the gals do... :lol:

They're having a car stereo contest at the marina... Saturday, I think.

We have a neighbor that I'd bet on. A very modern car stereo.

BOOM BOO BOOM BOOM :lol:

The cardboard tube from a roll of toilet paper will do in a pinch. Duct tape makes it a bit more durable.

You do have toilet paper there now, right?

eetdrt88 - 6-8-2006 at 08:21 PM

Bruce R Leech - 6-8-2006 at 08:43 PM

Bruce,
Take the little sheet ,poke your finger through the middle, wipe, and then use the tissue to get rid of that brown stuff stuck to your finger, and discard.

I once tried to make a joke about which person it would be better to shoot, the town crier or the tamale salesman. Unfortunately most of the guys at the mechanics garage hangout thought I was serious. They said I should bring it up at a junta (official Ejido meeting). The unofficial vote at the garage was to shoot the town crier. The tamale man is around more often and makes more racket but he's got good tamales.

Wern't you ever in Boy Scouts.
How to use toilet paper
1. fold the sheet in half
2. fold the sheet in half again
3. tear a corner off the folded up sheet of TP. Save this corner it is very important
4. when you unfold you have a hole in the middle for you finger.
5. use the paper to clean your finger.
6. Use the corner piece to clean under your fingernail.

Oso - 6-9-2006 at 07:21 PM

You both forgot the essential last step:

7. Rinse finger in buddy's canteen.
