It must have worked. You're on the good list, now.

I'm usually on bad lists.

Hey CM, Love the pic of the while Malibu that you posted in the drag racing thread.....

Nope, I'm at work. Just taking a little break and watching it rain.

At first I thought this was KJQ and his "friend" but then I read the caption. Awesome.

Pulitzer prize photo...and certainly worthy of that award..
This photo shows two power linemen, Randall Champion and J. D. Thompson, at the top of a utility pole. They had been performing routine maintenance when Champion brushed one of the high voltage lines at the very top. Over 4000 volts entered Champion’s body and instantly stopped his heart (an electric chair uses about 2000 volts).His safety harness prevented a fall, and Thompson, who had been ascending below him, quickly reached him and performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. He was unable to perform CPR given the circumstances, but continued breathing into Champion’s lungs until he felt a slight pulse, then unbuckled his harness and descended with him on his shoulder. Thompson and another worker administered CPR on the ground, and Champion was moderately revived by the time paramedics arrived, eventually making a full recovery.

The KJ and a "friend" story is funnier.

VUPD already confirmed he will hand deliver my special serial numbered one to my house.

 

[maansmit]

There are no lowers. It was all an elaborate scam.

Do you get a happy ending with that level of service too?
