You Guys are Great

[anotherbob]

My dad used to have a wheelbarrow on which the label had a warning that said “Not for highway use”

They’re out there, man. They walk among us every day ?

I want that story. How did that happen. What does that even mean? My theory is it's a raisin cake warning. Raisin cakes where partially fermented pressed grapes that during prohibition had a warning not to add water and store under specific conditions as it would turn into wine. Did the image have extra wheels on the feet(?) and a rocket on each handle?

Haha, I had the same thought. My guess would be some idiot tried to tow one behind a car with a load in it. I also desperately want to hear the story of how/why this label became necessary on a boat I saw in Whittier....

another possibility is the lazy guy at the wheel barrow company added it as part of his busy work.

After reading this thread I emptied my 'ignore' list of its content of one member. I dis-membered it.

I wanted it too.
Appears there are a few different stories:

Some people were trying to use wheelbarrow wheels as spares on their motor vehicles.

Of course there are a few news stories about peoplle in small cars dragging them while sitting in the trunk...

And on youtube, there seem to be a community of people putting small engines on them...

Incredible.

I just checked and there are only four members I ignore here. That means the rest of you don't say things that give me a headache resisting the urge to try and explain why you're an idiot. Just saying if you're reading this pat yourself on the back.

Not on the list yet.

I only have 2 on my ignore list and one of them left the family (or got voted off the island, not sure).

As I get older the tolerance for stupid gets lower and lower. Based on my experience, the VAST majority of pipe smokers are intelligent, contemplative, contributing members of society.

Or grouchy old farts that have earned the right to be such...

Wait...what's going on here.....Why can't I read the post from the OP?


J/k... I think you're a pretty swell guy, too!

Block away, life's too short to smoke bad tobacco and read posts from morons.

 

[AcesAndEights]

I knew this would be a fun read the moment I opened it. And I must say, y’all didn’t disappoint!

I agree, you guys are great!

(Hope a few of you can see this…)

No need to ignore, just scroll with your middle finger.

 

[tklee]

? I can see this post. Thank you! ??

 

[monty55]

That's pretty funny... I didn't even know there was an Ignore button till I read this thread. lol

that's got nothing to do with the internet or this website. It's because you're one of the worlds few illiterate people who can write articulately.

Wait, if you ignore someone, they can still see your post. You just can't see theirs, and they can say whatever they want about you, and you'll never know. Testing... 1... 2... 3... testing... testing... can you read me?

it's great. Once you realize it's not a punishment or even rude, but a tool to allow you to enjoy a forum without people that mentally stink it up for you. The funny part is I still read a lot of their posts but having to actually click on the button to see blocked info some how is more tolerable. It's like the difference between the taste of medicine and eating a bowl of soup that tastes like medicine.
The truth is like most people here I don't agree with everyone here on everything. But it's not a bother. But some people it happens and I find it hard not to shout back. I don't want to do that. It's never because I disagree but I just feel their (I feel is a key to understanding what I am trying to say) explanation is so stupid, puerile, or fundamentally blind. Confession I have argued with people I agree with over how dumb their reasons are for feeling the same way.
But the thing that amazed me is how rare that is. That's what's really amazing.
