Jeep humor waiting room ( ** NO POLITICS ** )

I don't think I knew anyone personally who was guilty of having their parents call on their behalf.

Playing hooky because the weather is nice...different story. I've seen it done, but the risks are understood, and they usually burn a PTO or sick day.

In my experience, I have been called "entitled" for expecting the list you lead off with. THAT really bugs me.

Agreed. The first isn’t entitled, it’s what our goals as society should be.

And I think the entitled I’m talking about comes from lack of practise. Which is the fault of the older generation. We can’t get mad at college kids whose parents call, because they’ve never had to practice those difficult conversations or take ownership because their parents always called, or pushed the blame someplace else. If a 5 year old wasn’t expected to be responsible for his backpack at school, the 9 year old didn’t have to apologize for being disruptive in class, the 12 year old’s mum called to explain that the 2 week long project wasn’t done because they had hockey last night, the 16 year old went to the beach, but when McDonalds wondered why he didn’t show up for his shift, Dad said he was sick, the who is really to blame for the call to the professor? And in truth, who is actually the entitled one: the kid, or the parent who avoided any conflict with their child?

If you don't mind your smores having a plasticy gasoline taste.

Puts hair on your chest

Only real men eat their s'mores infused with carcinogens.

Very popular post revolution snack I hear...

¡Viva la revolución!

heh, I'll see how well my DIY top hoist does before doing anything else.

On that subject, the frame is built and the next step is standing it up and putting the roof trusses up.

Nice!

Pics please, when you get a chance?

I’m talking the old air cooled ones. My aunt lost one that way. Unfortunately the industry in the city at that time made the air stink something awful, so when she smelled car burning, thought it was just “Steubenville “ :cwl:

Oh yes, we had multiple Air Cooled VWs in my family. Bugs and Buses galore. I think the Camper Bus was the most popular amongst us. I barely remember them but I know I liked em.

Just a couple cement blocks, easier.

Duct tape, for better aerodynamics.

Hey, you get hungry, just throw a bottle of gasoline at your enemies and viola’, instant cooking fire for your favorite snack!

I'll put a few up on Monday, and hopefully it will be mostly done by then if not complete.

Good luck having that conversation with said parents...the same parents who ride us about participation trophies (that they gave us in the first place).

I prefer the Bond Villian approach. Tie your enemies down, gloat over the excessively convoluted way you're going to end them, then go have champagne and caviar.

Good morning, Dan

Good morning Miss Trina!!

Amen sister!

These parents are also the same type of people that call the police on other parents that allow their kids to go play outside, and explore the woods, or walk down to the playground when they're responsible enough. There is too much helicoptering going on.
