Ain't that the truth!

[Nick-B]

I'm confused!

Was the first post a joke or an accurate rendition of forum activities wherein certain posters get carried away, endlessly droning on and on with a series of pointless statements culminating in a totally off topic finale in a vain attempt to impress others with their psuedo-knowledge, thereby proving once and for all that it is totally safe to travel down the road with your generator running.

It has something to do with staying at Wal Mart over night

I think you can get Lites, lights, bulbs, and lightbulbs at WalMart without spending the night!

Larry: I think you are right on the mark. I need a drink after mulling over this post. O CRAP. I just remembered I am a Baptist and we are not allowed to drink.

EEK!
The W-word!
In more than one post!

And not in the Walmart thread!!!

I hereby respectfully demand that these "off-topic" (there IS a topic, right?) posts be moved to the Walmart thread, thereby contributing to its inexorable journey to the Bazillion Posts Mark.
