Why do roaches always die on their back?

That because the survivors flip them over to steal their sneakers and wallets.

Not a whole lot there but it's

And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Looks like you didn't spend much time prettying up the floor in the new shop.  :P

BTW...if he's as good cranking handles as he is with a broom...

he needs a raise. [laugh]

Now, if he can get some plates to spin on them... then I'll be impressed.

Floor would have cost a ton to do.  I think I had $1k into the last 1600sq/ft and we're in a 5600 sq/ft room now.  No math needed plus we were short on time.

I couldn't believe he was able to balance those brooms like that.  Never seen that before [laugh]

Well, I suppose it's good to have goals, right?

That is one fine machine shop you have there.  I am going to give you a break from hearing about how you should make suppressors, and mix it up by saying you should make Vincent (or round case bevel head Ducati) motorcycle engines.  Yes, you need facilities to cast parts too, but you've always wanted a foundry right?   ;D

Go ahead...put notions in his head. [laugh]

Do not let my wife read about putting in a foundry.  She loves that stuff.

Mainly she wants to setup a spot to cast jewelry (lost wax) but I could see here scaling up.

She does that sort of thing [laugh]

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.
