Anybody ever notice that there are "three" hosts on "Two Guys Garage" on Speed Channel????  SignatureScott W. '66 HCS Mustang 289 '68 Ranchero 500 302 '69 Mustang Sportsroof 351W ThunderSnake #57 http://home.comcast.net/~vanguard92/ > Anybody ever notice that there are "three" hosts on "Two Guys Garage" on > Speed Channel???? They have been working the bald guy into the show for the last couple of seasons. I wonder if the tall guy has had some medical problems. He started to look a little tired to me a couple of seasons ago at about the time the bald guy started showing up. > Anybody ever notice that there are "three" hosts on "Two Guys Garage" on > Speed Channel????

Two of the guys own it, the other is just a bum who hangs around asking stupid questions. SignatureZombywoof Si vis Pacem, Para bellum Yes. But worse than haveing 3 guys on a show called Two Guys, have you noticed they NEVER have an "oh sh.t!" moment or a bold that won't loosen, and the car starts on the first crank after installing the nitrous wet system with a 24lb blower/turbo combo with optional superduper jet pack. Of course no dyno tuning needed as well! Great show, but certainly entertainment; with the operating room cleanliness and ease of installations it makes it super obvious they have normal car guys set up the whole thing and have the hosts come in for the last 1 and 3/4 turn of the rachets and torque wrenches. I got REALLY upset when I saw Sam Memolo pushing "The Tornado". I though with so many good products for I just CAN'T believe this guy is pushing *this* POS. > Anybody ever notice that there are "three" hosts on "Two Guys Garage" on > Speed Channel???? I like the way they never have a job take that ever possible giant leap sideways.... you can eat off the shop floor, none of these "broken" cars ever leak, none ever have a frozen bolt and none have intermittent problems. I never watch the show but I would think that, if they want a third body in the shop, it should at least be some "eye candy". >I like the way they never have a job take that ever possible giant leap >sideways.... you can eat off the shop floor, none of these "broken" cars >ever leak, none ever have a frozen bolt and none have intermittent problems. I do indeed have a friend who's shop you could conduct surgery in. He is way anal about a place for everything and everything in its place and has got mops & buckets along with plenty of Quick-Dri. More then one Muscle Car has puked its precious bodily fluids all over the floor, but they do not stay there for long. From the interior shots I've seen of Jay Leno's working garage it is also a rather clean & tidy place. >I never watch the show but I would think that, if they want a third body in >the shop, it should at least be some "eye candy".

Not that it is a bad thing, but you get my drift. I appreciate the input. I truly am wound tighter than a snare drum. I'm only laid back when unconscious (and even then, only sometimes). The 'nym just seemed awkward. For now, I've changed f.k.a. to a.k.a. At least it's not "d.b.a.", right? ;) Speak NOT of him, I know.... And do I -ever- have a thing for tan little belly buttons.

ALRIGHT THEN damnit Now DON'T GET ME GOING, or I'll slam another Tuesday brew, and take aim at some poor sap. It's been a while, and the bloodstains on my rusty cam are flaking off.

KJK > : > You will always be "That Punk Kid" to me > : > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > Yea yea yeaaaa..... > sheesh... you aren't so tough. Don't think so? Thankfully, many people underestimate me. It gives you an advantage. I was slamming 40s, getting chased by cops and fighting skinheads in NYC with my friends when I was 15 years old. Believe me, I learned a thing or two. Some cokehead once had to make his point clear to me with a snub .38 inches from my chest. I technically stole a car when I was 14. I brought it back; my friends and I just used it to learn to drive a stick. I think we roasted the clutch a bit. I've been to jail. I've had to stand toe-to-toe with BIG guys who could kill me, and not blink. I told a whole room of guys they could bring it if they wanted, and laughed because I couldn't believe I actually just said "bring it". I'm not totally proud of all that stuff, but I also never get messed with by people who aren't complete idiots. I know some sit around, all day, looking for victims. I never look like a victim, and hopefully I never will be. The occassional bar idiot, I let be; I don't want to spend the night with this jerk in the county tank. I could break his freaking jaw, but why get an assault charge? I've found that your eyes, your posture and your walk do more for you than anything ever could. Tough is a state of mind. > KJK : > : > You will always be "That Punk Kid" to me : > : > [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] : : Tough is a state of mind. ... actually....

I htink you told me once, but I don't keep that stuff stored, not memory. KJK > : Tough is a state of mind. > > ... actually.... > I meant that *I* was not intimidated by your tongue in cheek humor about > going off and riling things up. I know you weren't. I just went off on a rant. You see, there are these twerps at work, with whom I've repeatedly tried to make nice. They are narrow-minded little boys and girls who don't seem to have an original thought among them; they see that I am carrying a little weight, and ride a moped to work most of the time, and since I don't know their pseudo-street slang BS or their inside jokes, I end up the object of ridicule, like others. Oh, and I have a receeding hairline. Always good for cheap shots. This sometimes gets me quite pissed, because I don't do a thing but be polite to them. I know they're just insecure brats, but it still grates my nerves, especially when I'm wound up more than usual and am in no damned mood for it, and just want to work then go home. The simple fact is I outmatch them in many ways, like many other simpleton shitheads who talk trash about people. They know I'm educated and well-spoken. All they see outwardly is soft-spoken me at work, acting as if I didn't notice their little slams because I don't want to get into it with them, on any level, and just want to do my job. If I were my old self, a few of them would have had their cars trashed by now. But I'm not that angry now. I've actually mellowed with a little age. > here, have a cuppa cocoa and relax a while. Yeah. Or another beer. This time of year is always emotionally challenging. Sorry, I ranted again... I'll cut it out > How the hell old ARE you anyway? I htink you told me once, but I don't keep > that stuff stored, not memory. I'll be 33 on Dec. 30. I was basically left to my own devices in large part from 14 on, long story short. Things weren't terrible at home, but they sure weren't that great. It was lonely there, so I found older friends, grew up fast, and lived a fairly dangerous lifestyle for several years from which three of my friends didn't survive, others ended up in rehab after rehab, and still others ended up hooked on crack and sh.t. I thankfully snapped out of it and went to college and grad school etc. SignatureObie a.k.a.

The best episode I ever watched was them installing a Holley CFI.. for some reason, I, then, got the impression they werent gonna show me anything I wouldnt learn sooner and better on the 'net. But they certainly werent as bad as "This Old House" in never getting crossed up. On the other side of the coin.. the show on "Flipping houses",,, these people are supposed to be Pro's, yet they seem surprised to find - inevitably - that they have to replace all the floor joists and foundation because of rot. SignatureYeh, I'm a Krusty old Geezer, putting up with my 'smartass' is the price you pay..DEAL with it! AND... always run over budget AND get shut down by inspectors pretty regularly... : > I like the way they never have a job take that ever possible giant : > leap sideways.... you can eat off the shop floor, none of these [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] : inevitably - that they have to replace all the floor joists and : foundation because of rot. > I like the way they never have a job take that ever possible giant leap > sideways.... you can eat off the shop floor, none of these "broken" cars > ever leak, none ever have a frozen bolt and none have intermittent problems. > > I never watch the show but I would think that, if they want a third body in > the shop, it should at least be some "eye candy". All that doesn't really matter, when you have the high dollar epoxy floor cover that kind of stuff wipes right up! SignatureOh, you are out of your rabbid assed mind.- KJK >Yes.

It's far from how things usually go. And the equipment they use is far form what the average Joe has available in his garage. >I got REALLY upset when I saw Sam Memolo pushing "The Tornado".
