Oh no!!! We're caught in the Female Catch-22 loop!!! If she is to be obeyed, then you can't call her that because she told you not to. But if you can't call her that, then you don't have to obey her and therefore you can call her that. However, calling her that implies she must be obeyed and you're back to "you can't call her that."

Oh Nooooo! I've just gone cross-eyed...

Good on ya, Mate! Progress on the Slocost! Waitin' on pictures, Bro... Wanna see what you've done! Give my regards to SWMBO for helping out, that's really cool!

ANZAC Day... Same idea as our Memorial Day. God Bless 'em, heroes, every one...

Now that's a picture I won't get out of my head for a long time. I can picture a fat, naked man being lifted kicking and screaming and being dunked in a tu


Sorry Gonzo I didn't mean to hit so close to home there.

And for the record I have not once ever seen JD being put in the tub, not even on that YouTube video floating around.

I was fine with that picture in my mind. It actually was an engine on a bath crane.

Then I read:

Now I picture a fat naked man sitting in my engine bayin place of my engine. I'll never be able to lift the hood again without that sight in my mind. THANKS!

Hi JD ....ANZAC Day... Same idea as our Memorial Day. God Bless 'em, heroes, every one...
yep exactly the same..pity there are getting less and less of those galant hero's..very year we have a dawn parade in Auckland this year they say 10,000 people turned up at 5 o'clock in the morning where the last post was played..Great to see alot of younger people turning up..my son who's 27 went to his first one and laid a flower at the tomb of the unknown soldier

Glad I can be of service.

That's definitely be the right picture for that crane. That itty bitty jack wouldn't begin to raise Gonzo's fat, naked, sweaty, dirty body anywhere.

This is disturbing. As hard as I try the god of googles can't find any pictures of a fat naked man on a crane, but they sure can find lots of naked fat guys. DO NOT GO THERE!!

Oh dear!! my wife is a Geriatrician. She's seen a few of those cranes. When she was a resident she did some house calls. One was a 750# guy in Maryland. That had to be moved with a fork lift. He was featured on one of those " fattest people shows"
