Ll Tire Adventure

[leechlake]

No problem on the tires.  Here's what's happened so far.  I mentioned to the wife I needed new tires and she asked how much they cost.  I told her about $275 a tire and she gave me that look, you know the one.  Being a professional at these matters I told her that at least I needed rear tires but that would limit my choices since they'd have to match the front tires.  Obviously she balked at me needing tires and the fact they have over 60k on them didn't impress her.  I mentioned that when she got new "run flat" tires this Winter I didn't say a word since I wanted her to be safe.  She got one flat tire and the guy told her she needed 4 new tires since her car is AWD.  She told him just to give her two rear tires.

At this point the fact that I'm driving around on worn out tires and she got new tires hasn't impressed her but I don't care that much to battle about it.  Frankly, I'd rather blow a tire than argue about it.  I have done my research and I'm in a quandary of the Dick Cepak tires vs Mickey Thompson's.  Any advise would be appreciated, I'm sure they both will work fine but let's make sure they are bomb.  I ain't heading to the 'mocking spot on stupid looking tires.  Thanks.

just tell her you wear the pants in the family and your getting the tires you want. tell her REB said so!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's right, dang it!! You wanna be a bad custom truckster, everyone knows that MT's are the choice of raging motorheads everywhere. Make sure they throw in the Autographed MT hat, too. (just don't ask for a recent pic of him, he was murdered in the 80's)  I just had to remind the NRA again today that my new hat better be here soon, or I'm gonna pull my membership.

"Chick Tips" with Smurfy and Reb.  New radio show 'CCO may start airing late nights.  6 guys who live in their parents basements will be the nightly callers and the whole audience too.

If I wanted to put the heat on her I'd just tell her I'm cutting her off until I get new tires.  That's what Dotch would do and effectively I may add.  Us sheep ranchers have to stick together.

3 words: wide white sidewalls. Chicks dig them! 

[leechlake]

Great tips. I can hop in this scooter at the grocery store and pick up Grannies too. 

[RebelSS]

HEY!!! GET OFFA MY SCOOTER!!!!!!!!!!! And put yer shoes on, ya nutcup!!!!!!!!!! 

 

Hey Dotch, you ever see these guys down here? We used to beat the doors down at the old Outrigger Lounge to see them. Dang, they're good!!! Wore myself out dancing to them. Bet I saw them fifty times.....we used to follow them around in the Summer, wherever they were appearing. Bet you've seen them...or a few of yer relatives have.....

you said you didn't use a scooter because you were too bad of a driver and knocked stuff over in the store.

Man...you guys are old.  I'm up here listening to Katy Perry and embarrassed and you guys are watching reruns of "Sha Na Na".  Also, quit derailing my tire post.  I'm going to hit the sack I think I've got some dreaming to do.

[RebelSS]

Dreaming?!  You've been woolgathering all day!!!  Think about that one...HEE!  

[leechlake]

I dilly dicked around all day and at 530 I accidentally hit the "Golden Ticket" on a huge thing at work.  I was getting my oil changed and some guy called me and I answered only because I had nothing else to do.  Bingo!

80% is just showing up!

They were in Mankato a while back and they may have been in Bugtussle when I first moved here. They are bomb! 

 

[delcecchi]

I went to the outrigger a few times, before it washed away.

[Boar]

Hey dont you have to be so tall to ride that ride.?

[bobberineyes]

You best get yourself some spinners to go with the tread!!!melding and mocking at its finest. I can see it now LL,  pulling into the Katey Perry concert,  base is pumping spinners are spinning and you grinning...

[Boar]

Your definately not in a tire store, Is that Catlyn jenners new chain of transgenders men stores, The Transition. The city has gotten to you LL.

[leechlake]

Boar-  I'm not kidding when I tell you that my daughter did some sort of pageant thing last year and some person did hair and make up for some of the girls (btw it wasn't "free").   Let me try to get this correct but the person was born as a boy but had somewhere along the line thought of himself as a girl but he dressed mostly like a man and had a man name but "she" preferred you used a feminine pronoun when referring to him...I mean her.  

My wonderful daughter thought it was as normal as the sun coming up and non judgmentally figured it out immediately. I'm still confused on it.

How a tire post turns into a gender identity post is beyond me but that's how it goes.  I may go get some big fake boobs today instead of tires.  Frankly I've heard they don't cost much more

Reb, I think your band still shows up at The Surf in Clear Lake once a year. Not sure if It's the Winter Dance Party / Buddy Holly celebration every year or not?

Ok now that you derailed yet another thread LL, I am going to add to the fire you started.  My buddies and I were goose hunting in Minnewakan ND about 30 years ago.  We went to the local bar of course every day after hunting.  There were 4 of us.  They liked us coming in and made a crockpot of soup for us every day.  Noone else could have any till we had eaten.  It was hilarious.  There was 2 guys running the bar.  One guy called himself Tex and the other was a little chubby and wore plaid shirts and jeans like any other guy.  We said hey what's your name and he answered in a sort of feminine tone Bonny.  We all looked at each other and tried not to laugh our you know whats off and said, what?  He or she said Bonny again.  Well we didn't know how to handle this new to us situation so we just shut up.  You have no idea how hard that is for us to do.  Of course we were giving each other funny looks.  We then talked about it every day and saw facial hair on Bonny and just couldn't figure it out.  Then Tex told us he and bonny lived together.  Oh well, things are slow in ND that time of year.

I was waiting for the girl named Sue to walk in......

Adds credence to the old saying, "ND, where men are men and so are the women." 

[eyeguy 54]

I thought it was...  Bugtussle, where men are men and sheep are nervous.  

I did not marry a man !!  LOL     

[Dotch]

As I pointed out before (probably in the tire thread), when I was a resident there, I spent 3 years performing exhaustive research on North Dakota women and my analysis concluded that the aforementioned adage not to be true, at least phenotypically. I heard stories about Minnewakan though.
