Most FB groups are so bad. I’ve gotten kicked from a bunch for correcting some people, not being argumentative or anything. The Subaru Mechanics one is good for a laugh though.

Same IRL; a chain is only as good as its weakest link and a FB group is only as good as its weakest Admin/mouthiest Keyboard Kiddie.

That's a wicked combination. Congratulations!

Sarcasm is an inherited trait in the Hawk household.

This has been on our frig for more than 30 years. I used to practice daily but since the kids moved out I have to be very selective around my wife (or else).

I have often wondered about those framed autographed celebrity shadow boxes. You know the type that you see in places like a trendy bar or music shop. Items in places like the Hard Rock Café are likely real but created for that client. So, things like signed guitars are not “stage used” by the artist but are likely authentic signatures.


At the other end of the collectibles I figured the items like shadow boxes and signed records you see by the dozens in flea markets or on-line are mass produced. I believe those autographs are manufactured by using modern copy techniques like the infamous “auto pen”. So I've thought those are probably fakes.


Well I got my answer the other day at a local Fish and Chip shop where the walls are covered with many such pieces. What’s wrong with this one?

Some people don't appreciate sarcasm.

I don't know what their problem is but I'm sure someone can make a label for them.

Good old Linda Buckingham.

I really liked her work with Paul McCartney back in the 70s.

My work created strategic plan... that last 8 years. I'm sorry, but over 20 years I worked, not once seen an organization that had more than 4 yrs strategic plan before.

Make it worst, read all 69 pages of it, three times... it was all vague and bs.

It's only Tuesday and I got headache SMH

The Lotus Exige is powered by an Internal Combustion Engine.
Slot Cars are all powered by electric motors.
This plate would fit a Lotus Evija perfectly.

We have no such choice of plates in the UK. The Roat Transport Agency issue plates, however they keep back interesting numbers or combinations of numbers and letters sold via their auction site.. I managed to buy this one for my Alpine..
