Except that ain't a nut, it's a bolt.

Poetic license?

That ain't a nut, it's a bolt?

[Benfea]

8. That's easy enough.

Nut:


Bolts:

[In_The_Wind]

10. D'oh

I know what a nut looks like.

And I do believe those are carriage bolts.

but :dunce:

[billyskank]

11. ROFL

:loveya:

[In_The_Wind]

12. What?

I'm not being obtuse, I 'm just totally uninformed.

[billyskank]

13. I've no idea either

I'm just happy to see you :loveya:

[In_The_Wind]

14. Oh.

Cool!



:loveya:

[billyskank]

18. I am quietly stealing all your smileys

I hope you don't mind. :)

[In_The_Wind]

20. Honestly , I don't mind at all.

I would give you the key to the vault but


well :blush:

well :evilgrin:

[billyskank]

23. Goodnight Joani!

:hi:

:hug:

[In_The_Wind]

25. Sweet Dreams

:hi:

[Oeditpus Rex]

15. Uninformed

and under-dressed.

One of these is not a bad thing. Can you guess which?

:evilgrin:

[In_The_Wind]

17. .

:blush: We can discuss this matter in depth privately.

3. I personally liked the Atlanta Black Crackers

[Oeditpus Rex]

6. I don't know why some Negro League clubs

felt they needed "Black" or something in their name.

Black Barons. Black Sox. Black Yankees. Ebony Aces.

It's kind of like when women's prep and college team names are preceded with "Lady." Why aren't they just the Volunteers or whatever? :shrug:

[Blue_Tires]

32. the reason for that was

at that time in many Negro League cities, they simply adopted the name of a recognized local white team...i.e., the New York Black Yankees...There was of course a white counterpart team...

There actually was a minor leage team (all-white) called the Atlanta Crackers...

The Birmingham Barons exist to this day and so on....

4. I like the name Kalamazoo Golden Kazoos too

[Call Me Wesley]

7. But the bolt goes into the nut,

and that's why it's always missed if I buy something from IKEA. :grr:

[Oeditpus Rex]

9. Let's not drag sex into this

[Call Me Wesley]

16. Sex? There's no sex.

There's no sex in baseball, there's no sex in IKEA, and there's really no sex in nuts and bolts. Check out Home Depot, you'll see.

[skygazer]

19. Ah, but there's sex in electrical connections

Where you have male and female ends connecting to form a new whole. :blush:

[Call Me Wesley]

21. I know ...

My uncle, who once owned an electrical business, had this definition as his company logo ...

P. S. That was my 4'000 post I guess. ;)

[Oeditpus Rex]

22. Yeah, and those suckers

have two or three "things."

What's up with that?

Aliens? :shrug:

[skygazer]

24. Decadent

That's why I won't do electrical (that and because I always seem to get zapped).

[Oeditpus Rex]

28. I've had worse experiences with automotive electrical

Caught a coil arc once while setting the timing on my old Chevy. One second I was leaning over the fender, the next I was on my butt on the lawn.

And it's unwise to grab a timing-light inductor while it's on the plug cable and the engine is running. :silly:

[bertha katzenengel]

26. Yep, that's a good one. My personal fave: the New Hampshire Fisher Cats.

Affiliated with the Blue Jays.





(lousy web site, no good graphics)

[maveric]

27. Do they play in Nashua? Manchester?

I remember the "Nashua Yankees", AA club when I was a kid.

[bertha katzenengel]

29. Manchester - stadium is at One Line Drive

Dig that address. :7

[maveric]

30. It doesnt get much better than that Bertha. As for baseball addresses.

You grew up an Angel fan, I take it? Remember Bobby Knoop, Don Mincher, Rick Reichardt, Jose cardela and Bubba Morton?
For some reason, ever though I was in Boston, I loved the Angels and Dodgers back then.

Dean Chance won a Cy Young for the Angels too.

[bertha katzenengel]

31. I remember Bobby Knoop well; he was their 3rd base coach for years.

The other names are familiar. Remember Jimmie Reese? Lord... I'd go to games early just to watch him hit pepper and infield. Bless his heart. He was a roommate of Babe Ruth's; he was still in the dugout well into his late 80s.



It's hard to be a Halos fan on the East Coast. :sigh:

:pals:
