I don't think so, unless they perfectly matched the side grain to the end grain. What I see on the top edges is beveling but my experience with veneers is limited to being gopher on a $12,000.00 desk project (my main creative input was to suggest that the woodworker call with regards to applying veneer to complex…

In most cases 1 - but there are a couple albums out there that ran parallel grooves so there could be up to 2. A TSA agent asked me what those black cylinders in my bag were and I responded "78s for an old Victrola" - didn't phase him; I could not tell if understood a word I said or if he just wanted to watch me…

The confederate sword episode turned out to be a set-up between the 'owner' and the appraiser, the story was fake and that particular appraiser was banned from the show (and his rep. with others was pretty well ruined).

Ooh, Badtz-Maru figurines!!! Do you have any left?

I flew from B.A. to Seattle with no meds, wide awake with pain in my hands, feet, elbows and knees and yet, your story leaves me feeling sorry for you - I at least had the ex-Mrs. Grumpy next to me.

Wow, you managed all those words without making any sense, proving a point, or even entertaining anyone. I think you may need to take some classes in writing, logical thinking, but first, you might look here to know what not to write - http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/ - they have a list 42 ways not to argue.…

There is something very beautiful that happens here in western Washington. The ground is super-saturated with water and as the water freezes it is forced out in odd crystal arches and other shapes.

Write the index first so you know where everything goes.

I was just thinking of Smalley - great thought.

That was done:

The Straight Dope tested this; Cecil reports that running got you less wet. His test was walking with a sheet of paper and running with a sheet of paper. Here is a link:

Everclear is 95% pure grain alcohol - that would work twice as well.

One fake tree for 20 years versus 20 real trees grown in monoculture concentration camps, ruining the soil et c. - you do the math

I am definitely going to make some amigara cookies for all my 'friends' but it will be for celebrating the new year closer to the coming apocalypse.

Bamboo species have specific life cycles; when it is time to flower and go to seed, the entire species everywhere in the world flowers, goes to seed and dies. If the panda does not have 2 different species of bamboo to eat, it will go with the bamboo. Just thought you might want to know that.

Sorry, that is too deep for me; Sunday Sign-off, Ryan Lanza, Robo-ketchup bottle, I am lost and will just nod and smile and wave good night.

I had to read that over time after time changing the letters until I came to 'p' then realized what you were saying.

Thank you - I am so used to not seeing this shit, that I don't understand when someone complains about the ads. Who on earth does not use AdBlock? and why not?

Rudolf the Red Knows rain, Dear. Rudolf first shows up in 1939 so it should not be included in the really old iconography; though, come to think of it he is getting close to 100 so in American time-frames, he is almost ancient.
