Radio Knobs

And say hi to Catalina for me.

TV show: "My Name is Earl". Earl decides that bad thing are hapenning to him because he does bad things. He hears about karma (watching Carson Daley, IIRC) and decides to right all of the wrongs he's comitted (of which he makes a list). He then finds a $100,000 lottery ticket and is convinced that's karmic reward for mending his ways.

IMO, it's one of the better sitcoms currently on TV (it's on my MythTV box's record schedule).

Thank ye,

I have vaguely heard of the show, but I watch almost no TV. I do watch a lot of movies and Jason Lee is a great actor, imo. (Feverdog!). I wonder if he drives a miata. ;-) It also sounds interesting, I'll have to check it out.

The only non-PBS TV show I watch.

Well, I *do* live in North Hollywood and work in Hollywood. :)

I found a wallet once, with $225 in it. I tried to track down the kid who it belonged to, and when I couldn't I turned it in to the police. 30 or

60 days later (can't remember which) it wasn't claimed, so they gave it to me.

Yeah, it would seem a part needed now and then, and hardly a big space-taker-upper in the shelved.

I go an email today from my friend, saying he'd (miraculously, in my opinion) found the chunk that broke off of the back of the knob, and that it was not glued and clamped and drying. I hope that proves effective.

Heh. :)

He found it down in the rug today. We lost it a month or two ago. I believe we have witnessed a miracle.

That's probably pretty common, here in this medium where most peope can't even spell "lose". :)

Sunset Boulevard? ;-)

Excellent, and good luck with the hummer. Just be sure to check the package first.....

Pat

Ah. In that case, put it on eBay. Some fool will bid enough to buy two new radios.

Does the broken piece look like Jesus? Or Elvis?

It damn well better or else this thread will go on forever......

Mine split the inner part that slips over the radio shaft, I stuck the metal insert back in, fitted the chip back into place and pressed a small piece of plastic with the right sized hole drilled in it over the center part holding it together. So far it's held up well.

Ask your governator, he has one.

After those idiots paid several thousand for a "haunted" painting, it has been tempting to try.

My family has an old Victorian-style couch and I think that I can see an image of a woman wearing clothing from that time period sitting on it once every so often. ;-)

One of my favorites so far was the guy selling his air guitar. He listed the concerts that it had been played at, going back to many rock concerts in the early 70's. The condition was listed as excellent and there was no shipping charge. He got almost $20.00.

Pat

Ahhh, we are talking about the vehicle, my bad. :-)

Arnie has lots of Hummers. Didn't he even have one converted to a "green" vehicle?

Pat

Not me. My quip didn't have "hummer" capitalized. :)

I certainly don't want a hummer from Arnold...

Surprisingly, my friend said it looked like both. Probably just looked like Jesus in an Elvis costume.

Or Hollywood Boulevard. I used to live in Hollywood (I'm in NoHo, now) and you'd see the hookers working Sunset Boulevard until there were enough complaints that the cops rousted them...then they moved to Hollywood Boulevard. When they eventually got rousted there, they'd move back to Sunset Boulevard. Repeat, rinse...

That a good solution. I'll remember it for when his just-glue fix breaks. :)
