I guess I should tack on, "And yes, you probably blew the gasket on your thermostat"

Ok, edited to address thermostat.

Thanks @DucatiKiller

@zaid Your question has got people commenting. You're right, finding time to join in the conversations has been difficult. I was in the process of replying to you earlier and someone called to see me.

@DucatiKiller I will have to think of a few questions.

Lynn Crumbling

Does Ben ever stop in here?

He seems to be commenting a lot...

@HandyHowie Here's one of mine that wound up in the feed when the US had our first big snow on the east coast

Q: What is the most efficient method of getting your car unstuck from snow?

If your car is stuck in snow and you don't have any chains, what can be done to get it out? This can be an unnerving problem to have and it happens pretty easily with normal driving on ice. You wind up in a snowbank sliding into it at 10 mph or any number of scenarios. What are some tools I ca...

tools

It just went crazy.

I have nothing else that's come close in terms of votes.

Not only was it during the snow storm, it was during the peak season of January where we were seeing a ton of activity on the site. Things have settled down a little since then.

A: What actually happens when there is not enough oil in a car engine?

Engine oil does much more for an engine than lubricate. It provides cooling, cleaning, and a bunch of other chores. You already know engine function is degraded when you run out of oil. Let's see if we can run it down to make more sense for you how it happens. Let's say, for lack of argument, y...

I had a good run with that answer ... eclipsed my previous high score by a few in just a couple of days.

@ᴘᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 I remember when that one was soaring.

Lynn Crumbling

@DucatiKiller man.. those comments are brutal....

ᴘᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

@DucatiKiller - Both happened around the same time.

DucatiKiller

@LynnCrumbling The comments to Max's answer?

ᴘᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

@DucatiKiller - Oh, this hurts ...

Lynn Crumbling

10:22 PM

@DucatiKiller No, the comments on that YouTube video to Ashcroft singing...

DucatiKiller

That's the whole point. It's beautifully awkward.

ᴘᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

If you insist

DucatiKiller

LMAO....oh those. Yes, next level brutal...LOL

Lynn Crumbling

And, I'm out. :) Have a great night all...

Yes, those :)

ᴘᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

later Lynn!

Lynn Crumbling

10:23 PM

'night

DucatiKiller

later Lynn

@ᴘᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 You don't feel a little uncomfortable for him while you watch the video?

ᴘᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

Wow, Ducati, I can only take soooooo much of that ... had to shut it off.

@DucatiKiller - No. Not if he's stupid enough to do it in the first place. Whomever enticed him into singing that should have been shot (figuratively). If he did it of his own accord, he needed not to given up his day job.

DucatiKiller

LOL...it's a painful experience

Apparently he finished up a press conference with that number. Pretty bold.

ᴘᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

Uh ... bold ... yah, that might be one way to put it.

DucatiKiller

I wouldn't have the balls to do it. Get up at a press conference filled with reporters and sing. No way. I could talk but not sing....

As David Hobbs would say, "he has large attachments."

Dangling with the dingleberries

DucatiKiller

truth @ᴘᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 truth....

ᴘᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

:D

You are in a fine humor today!

DucatiKiller

It's the duck from @JPhi1618 It set me off

or should I say Duc?

ᴘᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

Made you fell all Duckie did it?

:D

Quack!

DucatiKiller

that's it man. Ducky.

Holy Crap!!!!!!

Someone is selling this!

How the hell does someone think that's a good idea?

here's a better link

WTF are these people thinking?

ᴘᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

10:33 PM

Haha, and whoever did it is stupid.

The put the swastikas on backwards

DucatiKiller

I'll bet you this is a 4chan thing

screw that

deleted it

doesnt need to be in here

ᴘᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

What they actually put on there are Roman party symbols, lol ... what Hitler used as a basis for his swastika

They found them in the Roman bath houses in England.\

Hilariously STUPID!

DucatiKiller

more than likely it's a 4chan thing

ᴘᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

I have no clue what 4chan is, and probably don't want to know.

DucatiKiller

4chan

4chan is an English-language imageboard website. Users generally post anonymously, with the most recent posts appearing above the rest. 4chan is split into various boards with their own specific content and guidelines. Registration is not required, nor is it possible (except for staff). Launched on October 1, 2003, its boards were originally used for posting pictures and discussing manga and anime, as the site was modeled on Japanese imageboards, particularly 2chan. The site quickly became popular and expanded, though much of 4chan's content still features otaku, anime, and other Japanese cultural...

4chan is a nerd fest

DucatiKiller

Indeed. Many of the worst things the internet has to offer.

David Winslow

its like the ghetto on the internet

Jonathan Musso

lol

DucatiKiller

It's a ghetto filled w/ privileged brats and script kiddies.

ᴘᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

Wow, the things you learn about at The Pitstop ... :o)

DucatiKiller

10:41 PM

It's just a virtual Horn of Bounty

just giving and giving till it hurts.

ᴘᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

Sounds more like a Cornucopia of Crap to me.

But each to his own.

DucatiKiller

so hateful. you clearly need a hug. :-)

ᴘᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

Ah, gee thanks ;-)

Just what I always wanted ... a big greasy hug from another gear head!

Woot!

DucatiKiller

starred

ᴘᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

@DucatiKiller - That's why I allow you to have "Killer" in your username ... Bwahahahahahaha!

Holy carp! There are over 2 Billion posts on 4chan

DucatiKiller

10:52 PM

It's endless river of crap flowing into an ocean of decay.

ᴘᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

What is funny to me is that it is an image based board, with over 2B posts, yet active content is only ~750GB ... they must dump a lot of old crap.

DucatiKiller

I think you can get to anything. The 'inactive" content is more than likely content that hasn't been seen for a <insert period of time> so it's just categorized as 'innactive'

ᴘᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

Sounds about right ... simply not a place I'm gunna attend.

@DucatiKiller - I told you about my writing gig?

DucatiKiller

yes, you did. Are doing some writing?

ᴘᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

I haven't received my first assignment yet ... getting a little antsy for it to pop.

DucatiKiller

11:06 PM

apparently you went through their process and got accepted.

ᴘᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

Yah, sorry, I thought I went through all of that. I've been accepted and should get my first assignment sometime this week. The first assignment give both them and us a chance to get to know each other and figure out if its going to work out or not.

DucatiKiller

Interesting, look forward to hearing about your first experience.

ᴘᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

Thanks ... I'm looking forward to it as well. Just hope it works out. Not that it will pay much, but could lead to bigger/better things.

DucatiKiller

Certainly, never hurts to give something a shot.

ᴘᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2

Ayup!
