Thanks to the Church of Christ, this couple will soon become the parents of some child.  Can you say "Mother?"  ... "Father?"

And some say biblical doctrine should be left to each individual\'s personal interpretation!

As we graduated from Go-Karts to 348 tri-power Chevies, we all had to have a cool set of wheels.  I remember a friend of mine had "Hell on Wheels" painted on the side of his \'56 Ford.  It got away from him one night and he took out about 600 feet of board fence.  The car was \'totalled.\'
 
Some of us guys were hanging out at the old Super 98 station when he came walking into town one evening and Eddie yelled out at him, "Well, I guess you\'re hell on shoes now!"  :icon_lol:

Software Talk / Linux 101

I have recently loaded CentOS onto my other computer and am running it as a Gnome Workstation.   The installation went smoothly but I have a learning curve ahead of me mastering the UNIX based file system and command line operations.

If you are beginning LINUX as I am, I’d like to offer my condolences to you along with this tutorial link:

Also, here is a glossary of terms that will help you to find a place to begin your educational journey:

Come learn with me and I’ll cheer you on (for those lightbulb experiences) and maybe you can show me some pointers.  Right now, I’d be happy if I could just learn enough LINUX to back up my hard drive.

Open Chat / McCullough Twins on Alchy
« on: February 21, 2008, 12:40:51 PM »
A friend of mine was running a pair of McCulloughs on a light frame with alcohol.  He was in the groove on about the 15th lap at a contoured asphalt raceway when he went to sleep breathing the exhaust off the leading cart’s alcohol engines.  They caught him on tape as his front wheel climbed onto the lead car, he flipped end-over-end through the hay bales and slid to a stop upside down.  They thought he was dead because his body was limp while the cart was tumbling.  A little fresh air and he awoke from his nap, wondering why everybody was standing around him and why he wasn’t on his cart  :eyepop:
