Both Sirius and XM applied with the FCC to install repeaters in HI and AK, way before the merger, but I don't know if it has been approved. I can't find any more info other than a rumor that XM and Sirius will launch another satellite each (this was before the merger) to increase signal strength...

Hey, cool! Sirius and XM have completed their merge. Now there are a bunch of new channels on XM, and the playlists have been freshened up and expanded on my favorite channel (XM Chill, channel 84). Same price, more content. Can't beat dat! :cool: How has the merge affected your listening?

Yeah, and you just know that the pikies were elbowing each other as Turkish drove away: "Watch this, mate!" :rofl3:

*party* :band: Happy Birfday!! :band: *party*

In the movie "Snatch", Jason Statham's character "Turkish" visits a pikie (gypsy) camp with his sidekick to buy a caravan (camper trailer) and they meet Brad Pitt's character "Mickey O'Neil", who offers them a "dag", which is how "dog" sounds in the pikie dialect. :cool:

Yep.

$2.05/gal. today in Panama City. Keep on droppin'!

My father flew those in WW2. He was a carrier-based Naval Aviator. He said that plane was the hardest to land on a carrier because you can't see due to the long nose. It's like flying an engine with wings. The Japanese pilots called the Corsair "Whistling Death" because the Corsair had much...

Yeah, he must be a mutt, he doesn't look like any specific breed I've seen yet. I think tonksy is close, with the Australian shepard - he looks like he's got some of that in his lineage. That would explain the smarts, and he's not lazy - he almost always looks alert like in the pix.

With bacon, for the Bricktop's pigs reference. :cool:

:elaugh1: Karma is a bitch . . .

True dat. But I live way out in the boonies, and EVERYBODY lets their dogs run loose. You could say, "Ya can't swing a cat without hittin' a dawg around here". :lloyd:

I guess some stereotypes are based on reality. Cab driver beaten up by carny at the National Peanut Festival in Dothan, AL. A woman may have been involved. Dothan is a small hick town about the size of Panama City. It is located in an area known by locals as "The Wiregrass" (which they...

Most cars' fuel pumps are inside the fuel tank on the bottom, to keep them submerged in fuel to cool them. The theory is, if you let the fuel level get too low, the pump will overheat and eventually burn out. I asked my mechanic, who is a Ford and ASE certified Master Technician, if there was...

Don't worry, Obama will Change that for ya soon.

I checked the "Lost Dog" flyers on the bulletin board in the Vernon post office, but no joy. He didn't have a collar on, so it's possible he was abandoned. I will send a photo of him to the pound and post a "Found: Dog" flyer in the post office with his photo in case someone is looking for...

Note the dates of the posts. Most of the pics were probably hotlinked and the links are now broken/invalid.

It's really not as bad as you make it seem. It's one thing to read internet message board rants and slanted news media articles and believe you have a good idea how people down here feel, but it's another thing entirely to live amongst the citizens of this great nation and hear their views and...
