mk published one. I cannot recall the name.

I will never tire of linking to this, either.

If Hubski ever gets together and does an online campaign, we have to play one of MK's games.

I felt bad because you had just said something serious about being in the hospital and about your health. Anyway, I'm still sitting in the airport. Still awake. It's 2:26 a.m. and I have two more hours before, apparently, I can go through security.

it's quite surreal.

it totally was a dick maneuver on MY part! I was up late finishing a thing for work and when I saw lil surface and mention IRC I was like "Hey.... I could throw some toothpicks in my eyelids for a few minutes....

alas - a few minutes late I was drifting HARD. I felt extra bad for the same reason lil did - you dropped some serious shit and we both peaced out.

I did crash... and crash hard. It's the new normal. Up 'til late, up early. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

I figure the time zone issue is also why we've never gotten a group Civ or EU4 game going.

It'd have to be play-by-mail, which sounds glacial.

Although, I'm slowly realizing that if my face-to-face group is going to keep playing together, we're probably going to have to go that route. One of the core members is now working 10-13 hour days 6 days a week...

It is an awesome story and an awesome game and only someone as awesome as you could contain both and you know it.

The other day I was looking at a Mustang and thought how shit they are for off-roading.

kleinbl00  ·  2597 days ago  ·  link  ·  

We were on roading you pleb. But yes. They are shit for off-roading.

Growing up it was common knowledge that a Mustang had the same wheelbase as a Bronco and the conversion was pretty easy.

Whaaaaaaaa-

Camaros fit on Blazers, too. it is known.

There were prolly a half dozen of these in the Espanola valley. I decided to be difficult and put a Triumph TR-7 on a Scout chassis, which involved cutting 15 inches out of the frame. Of course over in the UK they just use Landys which makes it hella simpler.

I can always tell when March Madness is in town.... all of the boys from Nebraska and Kansas show up in these.

Is that black body an... Opel? Lancia?

kleinbl00  ·  2596 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Well, I'll tell you this: 3/4ths of the fitments on Lotuses were TR-7 parts, 11-moving-part 3-position-switches and all. So there's that.

Thank you for that link. I had read it before, but I just laughed till there were tears in my eyes. Needed that.
