Happy Birthday Scott!

Scott, have a good one!

Och! and be carefull with the Romulan Ale while you're celebrating!

Happy, Happy Birthday.

See, I want you to have twice the happiness of those others.

Yes but I offer Romulan Ale...

Happy Birthday, Scott!

Happy Birthday, fellow Southerner!

Happy birthday, Scott!

Happy Birthday, Scott!

Have some confetti:

.`,','.`
'.`,'.`,

That makes me think of ASCII art that my friends and I did back in college.

Man, I'm old.

Happy classic Birthday

JP, I think most of us remember ASCII art and we are not old, just well seasoned

No, you're pretty much all old.

Happy Birthday, Scott!

I'm a Gemini, I usually do!!

Thanks

I hope DHL is more careful with deliveries marked FRAGILE: GLASS than they are with our speakers.

So did you send me some to my work or home? Just want to know if I should go home early.

Scott

Good thing I have a party hat to keep the confetti out of my hair:

Thanks everyone!

*Hic*....*burp*...!!

err...I have a confession to make, Scott...

...*burp*...

Mark drank all your beer.

Hey, Scott, I forget. Did you ever tell us the origin of your screen name? What classic are you referring to?

Have an awesome birthday!

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, you look like a .... Oh, never mind.

Sorry I'm late to the party, Scott. Perhaps I'll stop and get some spicy shrimps and wash them down with Turbodog to celebrate.

Cheers!

Abita Turbodog, been a while since I had one of those. I also recall a Rattlesnake beer from New Orleans, I think.

(Googled it, yep, that's it. Cool link to a "Molecular Expression": http://microscopy.fsu.edu/beershots/beers/rattle.html )

Molecular Expression, wasn't that Negative Orange's first single?

I'm not sure, but I bet CV has the commemorative radium-infused plastic ball and toothpick set to prove it!

That one had me chuckling, well done!

We're getting closer to needing Turbodog to wash them off as well!

Thanks, Tom!

Origin of screen name (and avatar, too)... So many, many years ago I bought a ski boat and it had an AMC 401 V8 running the jet drive. Most folks on the water with jet boats usually run Ford or Chevy big blocks. Thinking I had a small block, I'd get lots of requests for races, usually to impress the other guys girlfriend with how fast his boat was. What they didn't know was that my motor was built pretty well and about 25% of the time I'd beat them. The rest of the time is was pretty close, but I just couldn't get past the high end power of a big block. So the usual questions followed:
"What's in that thing?"
"An AMC"
"You mean like a Gremlin or a Pacer?"
"Yeah, kinda"
"Ha ha ha ha ha"
"Keep laughing hotshot, I just beat you!"

Ever since, I've been a fan of the underdog - Hence the Underdog avatar.

I'm also a gear head and have a project car waiting for time and funding; An AMC Rambler 770 Classic 2-Door. Given the good performance of the 401 I have in the boat, I planned on putting a 401 in the Classic, hence "a401classic". The motor plans have since changed a bit, it has morphed into a stroked 401 now displacing 424 ci with a roller cam and I have 2 turbos ready to feed it. I'm targeting 750-800 hp.

So that's the story. Thanks for asking, J.P.

Scott

Cool, I'm glad I asked!

Wanna race?

....brings a bicycle to the shoot out.

I'm sure to win... My tricycle has more wheels!

What am I up against?

For some reason this was the tricycle that came to my mind

Uh, my ... hot air-powered ... bipedal hominid.

Never mind. You win.

This is all Mark's fault, somehow.

Oh no. Way too advanced. I was thinking of the forward version of Yoshi's race

Scott

Scott, Happy Birthday, and keep that beer brewing!

Scott, happy belated birthday. Sorry I'm late, I haven't been on the forum in a while. All the best!
