The real question is why the star wars characters NEVER CHANGE THEIR CLOTHES! Does everyone in this galaxy far, far away not smell that stench?

Yep. I caught it. You have to work your way back through the thread....

Mea culpa, I did write “all” in my first statement when in my head I said “most”.

I’m not ignoring what you are saying. It’s clear that you get incensed when someone mentions the “midwest” and talks about how water from that region impacts the South. Instead, you want to focus on your teensy little corner of Wisconsin and how the water there flows north. Good job focusing on the tree when you are…

Yes. MOST of the water in the Midwest region of the United States flows into the Mississippi River basin. Perhaps you have fought so hard for so many years trying to convince people that SOME rivers flow north (yes, they do) that you completely ignored the facts. The Rockies proved a barrier to the west and the…

It is apparent you do not work in water resources and have difficulty interpreting maps. The Missouri River basin empties into the Mississippi. The Ohio River basin empties into the Mississippi. The Arkansas, White and Red River basins all empty into the Mississippi.

Considering that most of the “Midwest” is in the Mississippi River basin, you can see why it is common for Southerners, especially those living near the river, throw the term around. The “Midwest” states are highlighted in red. The Mississippi River basin is in blue.

Just sayin’.

The tentacles can be up to 165' long and can survive for a long time if they are broken off the body. If a pneumatophore (the “gas bag”) is seen anywhere on the beach or in the water, it’s best to put on some shoes and stay out of the water.

All the rains in the midwest eventually work their way to the south.

The worst second-hand minivan I almost bought was filled with the stench of puke. We couldn’t smell anything when the a/c was on and the interior temp was frigid. Five minutes in the sun and the smell almost set off a chain reaction that would have killed any residual value remaining in that van. The salesman wasn’t…

Spilled milk in my wife’s car which made its way through the back seat down to the floor. Stewing in the locked car during the hot summer months produced an unholy smell of putrid milk which no amount of scrubbing could eliminate for long. I stopped short of ripping out the interior and starting over. Instead, I hit…

This is more common than you think. A friend of mine has a small farm. A creek cuts through the lower 20 acres. Several times a year someone goes mudding down the creek and when they get to his property they discover it’s too deep to continue down the creek, it’s too narrow to turn around, and the sides are too steep…

That’s not a dog, that’s clearly a wild carrot.

Every state I’ve worked in requires a license issued by a state board in order to practice engineering. Many states have reciprocity agreements, but many do not. In order to practice engineering in a different state, an engineer must pass an exam which highlights the differences in that state’s laws.

I’m old enough to have played the original Team Fortress and later, TF2 and Counter Strike. I had a gaming revolution once my son got old enough. There’s nothing better than teaching your progeny how to circle-strafe and later, the finer points of Dust2.

I’m glad you posted this. I was in a wreck in my first year as a driver, injuring five people. I didn’t receive a ticket, but all five sued for damages. Only two of the five were found to have a case, the others were faking injuries. The two insurance companies went head-to-head and mine ended up paying around $28k in…

Nah, all wheels good!

Nice farmer’s tan. It appears you forgot the shirt you normally wear under your vest.
