Rotating opposite of the other planets, won't they somehow have to blame it on global warming

If its not hitting the earth or the moon, its not that exciting...

I think we need to start some sort of freak comet cult and apply for federal jobs.

I thought this thread was about my Uncle's new comet back in the early 60s. I always thought it looked like it came from China. If you remember them you know what I'm talking about.

Play then read:




^^^^The first vehicle which took me hunting was a sky blue Comet. I remember Dad taking the battery out a lot in winter to keep by the furnace then getting a charger to keep the amps up. A drop cord was plugged in by the furnace and run out the window. I remember a couple times waking up at 2am and seeing him outside in a blizzard chaining up for a 2hr drive to the mines.

Pard & I did this drive one day for kicks in summer. The elevations and grades are extreme IMO. I can only imagine the fun Dad and Uncle David had in the dark: Navigating untouched windy/steep grades in a chained Ford Comet. I'm sure most of it was in silence as to this day terrestrial radio reception is mostly shit.

Hit Kickin' Country--WKKW! (AM back then):

Thanks Dad. That is all.

--also he used to keep a baking sheet and charcoal lighter handy to slide under the oil pan.

THAT is all.

In these northern hills they used hot coals from the wood stove
back in the day.

I logged in NH and my boss did that with the equipment. Very little wind which helps greatly

High school classmate had one and we called it the VOMET for obvious reasons, LB

Another comet memory growing up , we had a "can" of comet in the bathroom for washing up after a long day on the farm . That grit cuts the grease faster than a comet car.

"Tiffany" got sprayed by a skunk one night on the walk back home after a rabbit hunt. A mixture of Comet and two cans of tomato juice does nothing to deodorize a dog. It tends to piss a mother off. I disremember how Pard & I were able to have the house to ourselves and try this nonsense.

Tiffer was a beloved member of the family and smart as a damn whip: She was visibly depressed by the new restrictions in the house and never again had a skunk incident. Her Comet/Tomato Juice bath may have helped educate.

She never developed any skin conditions as Pard & I changed the bathwater several times (once after a slathering of vinegar) and Mom would always add olive oil to her "Gaines Burgers": My lord that dog loved leftover spaghetti and breakfast cereals...

Dad used Comet instead of Lava when he got home from work: Not just on his hands:

40hrs my ass.

That is all.
