Posted: Wed Feb 28, 2007 2:09 pm Post subject: Well... apparently I bought a Grand National... |
|
|
took some doing though... had to go a few places to find it.
yes, sorry, I'm a hot wheels nerd...
actually bought three of them since that's all they had, I have a feeling it'll become more of a rare car than most other hotwheels due to the nature of the real car itself. GN owners will be all over these
i hate this camera.
among the others i bought and will keep in the package...
Datsun 240Z
Purple 69 Camaro Convertible
Red Line Baja Bug
Motown Metal 70 Chevelle
Shelby Cobra 427 S/C
Camaro #3 - Camaro Z28 (82-84 style)
07 New Model #2 09 Camaro Concept (silver)
Motown Metal 65 Mustang Convertible
1968 Mercury Cougar
Camaro #2 67 Camaro (with flames and opening hood)
Camaro #4 Camaro Z28 (78-81 style)
07 New Model #2 09 Camaro Concept (red)
07 New Model #1 Dodge Challenger Concept (orange)
Red Line #5 69 Pontiac Firebird (sparkly pinkish ... lame first run color)
07 New Model #7 Dodge Charger SRT8
07 New Model #4 69 Ford Mustang (Boss style)
1970 Mustang Mach 1
Hot Bird (2nd Gen Firebird)
still waiting on the #1 Camaro which is the last release for the series, but will be the only 4thgen Hotwheels has released in about 5 years (I had a few older 4thgen camaro's but they're open)
apparently, and this is just a rumor at the moment but its been floating around... all you firebird guys may get your wish... Hotwheels Firebird series will be the 67 Firebird, 79 Trans Am (bandit style), a GTA thirdgen (or maybe a firehawk, unsure of the year at the moment), and either an 02 WS6 or Firehawk
so... thats my random bullshit of a post for the week I guess.
having said that though, 12 months in Texas, one last apartment, and I should be the hell out of here by March of next year... packing this week and next, moving to a 1000 sq ft apartment with a garage (thankfully), and that will be that...
very eager to begin my last year here, its been nice, but its time to get the hell out. gives me ample time to fix my finances, save for a move and spend time looking for a house up in that area (depending).
sucks I'm probably going to miss a lot of good stuff this next year though, doubt I can fly up for cows this year either still going to try of course... heh. |

Nice find. I remember chasing down hot wheels. By the way nicely trimmed and clean finger nails.  |

He is remarking on the cleanliness of your fingernails in the photos of your new car.
probably in a half-joking sort of way.
It's the same baisic school of humor I have used here in explaining somthing you are allready aware of.
Often these types of humor are accompanied by a " " to make the reader aware of the joke.

now see what Schultz has done here is different, it's not exactly Irony or Sarcasm, but it is somthing....
He has said somthing he does not mean at all (which ususaly indicates Sarcasm or Irony).
He has brought somthing dumb I said a while ago up from the past and re-phrased it into a rethorical
question to insult me here.... brilliance.
anyway, I got to get to work, so thus endith todays lesson in humor. |

if you have to explain it, the joke is not funny or if you say something intending it to be funny and it is not.
this is called "barting it" |

I wait tables, and don't get the chance to work on my car too often...
the only time I had callouses was when I was playing bass guitar or chopping wood at my moms house (or remodelling the bathroom, that sucked)
have to keep things clean for the customers...
I went in after doing my lid and shifter because I wanted a pizza and they all looked at me like I was insane coming in looking all grungy (my day off clothing is hilarious, but y'all have seen it ) |

you guys don't realy "get" intelectual humor do you?
and yes I know, for someone with a verbal vocabulary that boarders on bombastic or pretentious I can't seem to spell to save my life...
Schultz, I thought you meant it rhetorically, so when I said you "did not mean" it, I meant that you did not mean it as a real question, only as a rhetorical one. sorry if I mis-convayed that. |
