Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

Actually hit a pothole about a foot deep and 6 feet long at 65-70 mph. Buddy’s wife coming back from ski trip hit the same pot in a Grand Cherokee and damn near lost it.
Yeah I read the article. And watched the video. There was a pothole. But the fact remains the driver did not have the correct setup and that contributed or was the primary cause.

It was bound to happen sooner or later. The pothole was unfortunate but a semi passing them on the downhill would likely have caused it as well. All the judge needs to see is the door sticker and the sticker on the trailer and he’s now facing a new charge. Colorado has little tolerance for overloaded trucks.

I see way too many half tons towing too heavy of loads and many without weight distribution hitches. And many rv places that will sell anything to anyone. And people who will put most of the weight too far back in the trailer.

The old TV show “Hunter“ was an excellent show for hearing the awe inspiring moan of the mighty Thermoquad!



Anyone who lives here knows there is almost no similarities to Surry Co. Not nearly enough rocks and the trees here are mostly all hardwoods 🫡

Man I miss those old cop cars that had hubcaps.
Come across a police cruiser with just one hubcap missing, wasn't no threat, wasn't going to chase you down.
Come across a cruiser with all four hubcaps missing, now that guy he was going to give you a run for your money.
Of course this is what I was told as I would have no first hand personal experience in these matters.

Back when the Blues Mobile was just off the big screen... early '80s... our town was running a Chevy Citation and an Aries-K as their cruisers. Do you have any idea how awful a Chevy Citation Cruiser was? I was still in HS then... but the officers HATED those cars! And you could outrun the Chevy Citation on foot. It would make it only so far before breaking down.

The 1970s, the decade that fashion forgot! Although, the 1960 and 1980 were very good for music, etc.
The '70s had a lot of good music, too. Forget Disco and that soul crap. But you had a lot of great Southern Rock. Punk and New Wave. The Who, Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd... dozens of others from Aerosmith to Zappa... were in their prime.

Yeah, the 70's sucked for a lot of stuff. But not for music... movies... some great TV...

And you could buy a brand new Colt M16, full auto, for about $600 plus $200 stamp. Just 'sayin.

In 1984 brand new in the box colt manufacture 16s were under $500. I think it was about $460 if memory serves me correctly.

Quanah Parker was the last Chief of the Commanches and never lost a battle to the white man. His tribe roamed over the area where Pampas stands. He was never captured by the Army, but decided to surrender and lead his tribe into the white man's culture, only when he saw that there was no alternative.
His was the last tribe in the Staked Plains to come into the reservation system.
Quanah, meaning "fragrant," was born about 1850, son of Comanche Chief Peta Nocona and Cynthia Ann Parker, a white girl taken captive during the 1836 raid on Parker's Fort, Texas. Cynthia Ann Parker was recaptured, along with her daughter, during an 1860 raid on the Pease River in northwest Texas. She had spent 24 years among the Comanche, however, and thus never readjusted to living with the whites again.
She died in Anderson County, Texas, in 1864 shortly after the death of her daughter, Prairie Flower. Ironically, Cynthia Ann's son would adjust remarkably well to living among the white men. But first he would lead a bloody war against them.
Quanah and the Quahada Comanche, of whom his father, Peta Nocona had been chief, refused to accept the provisions of the 1867 Treaty of Medicine Lodge, which confined the southern Plains Indians to a reservation, promising to clothe the Indians and turn them into farmers in imitation of the white settlers.
Knowing of past lies and deceptive treaties of the "White man", Quanah decided to remain on the warpath, raiding in Texas and Mexico and out maneuvering Army Colonel Ronald S. Mackenzie and others. He was almost killed during the attack on buffalo hunters at Adobe Walls in the Texas Panhandle in 1874. The U.S. Army was relentless in its Red River campaign of 1874-75. Quanah's allies, the Quahada were weary and starving.
Mackenzie sent Jacob J. Sturm, a physician and post interpreter, to solicit the Quahada's surrender. Sturm found Quanah, whom he called "a young man of much influence with his people," and pleaded his case. Quanah rode to a mesa, where he saw a wolf come toward him, howl and trot away to the northeast. Overhead, an eagle "glided lazily and then whipped his wings in the direction of Fort Sill," in the words of Jacob Sturm. This was a sign, Quanah thought, and on June 2, 1875, he and his band surrendered at Fort Sill in present-day Oklahoma.

Yeah. But then you had the Bee Gees, KC and the Sunshine Band, the Village People and more than a few other disco homos. I all but stopped listing to anything new in the early 70s.
