Is it EVER red? What if it's under blue spotlights?
(actually, I just bought a blue LED lamp (21 leds), and it's got SUCH a narrow spectrum, it's genuinely disorientating)
OOOOOOOOH, here's one I REALLY REALLLLLLLY boggle about.......
What happens, when on lap 100 of the Indy500, or at 5am at Le Mans, or heading up massinet towards Casino square in Monte Carlo at 185mph, 2/3's of the way through the Grand Prix, that you are leading..........when your balls itch?
I mean I KNOW, that, at least in an F1 car (and proably CART and IRL too), your bollox and ringpiece are 1" from the road and the points of loading for any transmitted shock, but it would seem a tad over zealous to seek out one of Monte Carlo's excrutiating manhole covers just to scratch them.
FFS even in a GT/LeMans/Tourer/Nazzer,WRC where you CAN take your paws off the wheel for 2ms, there's a fucking huge crotch belt betwixed the irritated scrotal condition and it's autodigital treatment.
I do recall this FABULOUS exchange from the Hungaroring Qually in 1998......
Walker:"poor old Heinz Harold Frenzten's racing with a terrible tummy upset today, do you think that will affect him much Martin?" Brundle:"It can sap your strength a bit, but he'll be fine as long as the brown flag doesn't come out"
That reminds me, once (in my racing days) I was 5 days constipated. Went on this trip for a race in San Fransisco and ate this pizza with 3 inch thick cheese (which really did me in). Did the 5 mile race 2 days constipated (ran the slowest I ever did in my life.. came in 132 out of 140, I think)... then we went to Yosemite National Park... (interesting note: national parks do not sell laxatives)... simply remedies like bran and prunes weren't working....
came home finally and took some laxatives.... talk about relief...
but the question I had, how long would I have lasted like that naturally... or would I have died naturally without laxative medicines?

This is the only question mankind has not found an answer yet. Number 6 said that to Number 2 when he succeeded to destroy the mighty computer of the Village.

French Fries French Toast French Kissing French Dressing French Manicures
Interesting ideas.
Why a French letter is a capote anglaise ? Why a French leave is to filer à l'anglaise ?

i have read schroedingers kittens, but what in the hell are you talking about? lol.

You've been keeping yourself up at night with a trick question-- Neil Young didn't write, record, or perform it.
You can get some sleep now.
i'll be damned. you're right! i could have sworn neil young was in america. well, i feel much better about him now, knowing he didn't sing or write that piece of sh*t.
Will March and April ever arrive ? Will I ever feel something above the temperature zero ? Will grass grow again ? How do birds survive ?

DUST is very nasty to get rid of and usally made up of dead skin cells in the home! FLUFF was a brilliant DJ. Glad to have been of service.I asked for the ASK ROCKET to be made UNSTICKY but it was DELETED.Even better.

But he also released Living With War.
