  1. You should seek a mental health professional ..... Oh, wait!!!
  2. I had my account restored over there, too .... and like you, it didn't take long to see some of the same old shit going on. NSP Rick and Patriotic Phill being two of the biggest offenders. And yes, I did chuckle at the Arctic Cat thread and your name being an option ... I may have even voted for ya!!
  3. Derp alert!!! WAFFLER ... FLIP FLOPPER ... whatever other stupid term you and your buddy likes to use.
  4. I'm chuckling at this comment because it was the first thing that came to mind. Shady for sure!!
  5. Nope ... this is Israel's sandbox to play in. Let them do it. And if they have to use weapons from the US, so be it. But direct involvement by the US is not needed, nor is it wanted by the majority of Americans.

    Bingo ... if Trump or any other Republican had the autopen, MC would be posting link after link from DUMBASS Underground, in a fit of (fake) outrage.
  7. Ironically .... Karen was so upset with how things were handled with the Mod team at HCS, she had the need to bail on HCS and FIT IN WITH THE CROWD to get banned, and come here
  8. Yeah ... just another day of Karen McGregor thinking she's EDGY (oh, and of course ... TOUGH!!) Can always put her back on ignore I guess. It would certainly cut down on the new thread view!
  9. I thought that was called www.democraticunderground.com ???
  10. Here's the last attention you'll get for this thread .... attention whore. I don't waste my time on worthless videos, unlike you. And I sure as fuck ain't gonna waste time on something John Stewart related. Have a nice day, douche!
  11. Jon Stewart ... What's next? You gonna link something to Colbert or Kimmel? You and your TDS peeps though ... we all get it.
  12. Well, we can't all fill up at airport gas stations and claim someone is lying about gas prices in this thread I mean, I'm sure there's zero stations in Connecticut selling cheaper than the average. Yes, that last statement is
  13. I hope you luck out, just like my buddy did. He's been looking for this sled for a LONG time. Our group is anxious to see him finish it, and have shop beers when he's ready to show it off
  14. My buddy's Facebook post from this weekend ... a little long, but a really good read!! 40 years ago a young man had to make a decision. He had just got laid off from Clevite (Federal-Mogul), he was having a baby boy, and getting married. Everything non essential had to go which included a 1979 Polaris TX 340 he bought new. He made up a flyer with a picture taped to it and stuck in on the bulletin board at the factory. A family friend by the name of Tom H. saw it and a deal was struck. The snowmobile had a new owner, that baby was born and time went on. Ironically enough my first ride on a snowmobile was in the winter of 1994 with Tom at the controls of his 94 XLT on Lake Pepin down at the Ice Drag races. I remember everything about that day. The thrill of conversing over snow and ice on a machine just blew me away. That’s also the day I watched the Budweiser Sno-King driven by Paul Groth make a few runs. The sound of that engine and ice chunks flying around is something that sticks with me to this day. In November 1997 Tom sold the 79 TX. When he sold the machine it was still immaculate and in great shape (despite his son Mike riding it!!). That was pretty much the end of the story as someone from the metro came down and bought it and nobody ever expected (or cared) to really see it again. Growing up I always looked at my dad’s old photo album with all his cars, trucks, and this one snowmobile he had bought. I often asked him questions about it and came to find out he crashed it the first day he owned it. He went to Smittys Marine and got a new belly pan, bumper, and hood. Problem was they didn’t have any 79 hoods available so he got a 78. Not a big deal and not noticeable to most but the paint was just a little different. Well that was the little piece to my puzzle I needed to start looking for this thing. He also had a local art teacher (Norton) do some registration numbers and pinstripes on it. I started getting into vintage sleds about 20 years ago and vintage Polaris sleds to be exact. I loved the 79s. The colors and designs were just so intriguing to me. I bought a very nice 79 TX from Chicago and figured that’s the closest I’d ever get to the one dad had. I always looked tho, I always compared every 79 I saw for sale to his old one. Like I said it had a one off hood and paint job so for me it was an easy “nope that’s not it” every time I ran across one. About a month ago after finally getting the kids to bed I was doing my usual auction and marketplace surfing. I always type in vintage Polaris or Polaris TX. A listing popped up that said “just listed”. It was a 1979 Polaris TX in Elk River that looked pretty roached out but I still did the usual investigation. I’ll be damned if it didn’t have a 78 hood on it! It also had registration numbers on the side that looked familiar. I had that same photo album from my dad up in my shop which is 300 feet up the hill from my house. It was pouring rain, 10pm on a Monday night but I took off running up the hill. I opened the album and matched up the pictures to the marketplace listing. There it was. I found it. I seriously found it. I contacted the owner and a deal was struck. The next Saturday morning dad came out to my house and we headed to Elk River. Told him we were going to look at a old Polaris that needed some work. When we got there the snowmobile was sitting in the front yard where it had been for what looked like every single day since November 1997. Along with the sled he had tractors and bulldozers sitting all over so my dad’s eyes were everywhere. He wandered back to the TX and stared at it for a bit. I pointed out the 78 hood and he agreed. Then he said “those registration numbers look familiar”. I pulled out the picture from my pocket of his sled and it matched perfectly. “You found it!” Yes dad I finally found it. The sled you sold 40 years ago because of me is finally coming home. Even though we have 2 other snowmobiles currently being restored this one jumped to the front and will hopefully be done in a few months. It’s been a fun project so far and about every 20 minutes we look at each other and say “I can’t believe we found it”. My plan was to wait until Fathers Day to show it to him but I knew he had to be there when we pulled it from the dirt. Happy Father’s Day!
  15. When DUMB_UNDERGROUND is your news source ... this is what you get
  16. All the fear mongering the MSM does, you'd think Trump has been responsible for putting the US in multiple wars - or looking to do so on a weekly basis. But yet, here we are, one full term and 5 months into a new term and still no wars. People are DUMB A F
  17. If he doesn't get beaten to death, hopefully he can at least become Bubba's best new "friend"
  18. Reading this, and the timing of it .... yikes! One of my best buds is scheduled to go under the knife in a couple hours for rotator cuff and torn labrum surgery. Granted, it's Mayo so one would hope everyone is competent there. But yeah, these stories are REAL, and shouldn't be in the good ol' US of A. Sorry to hear the nightmare was real for you, @polaris7541 I hope you get the pain relief you deserve, as well as the outcome you deserve!!
  19. Huh ... yet Walz appointed him to a position a few years ago. Is Walz really that much of a team player, he would appoint a 20-year Republican to a role? I don't know if he's a MAGA or not, but one thing I do know is ... he's a POS that deserves to be beaten to death in prison.
  20. Hot and humid weather sucks ... I remember as a kid, bailing hay on my uncle's farm and despising that type of weather. Still do. My wife likes that shit though ... to the point that I get fired up with her if I come home and the house is pushing 80 degrees on the thermostat. She thinks it's fine and will settle to have the windows open. I say F that, and get the air on ... we've got it for a reason.

    Thank goodness Trump wasn't born on December 25th ... you pussies would have a complete melt down.
  22. One Karen thread … 5 posts out of 6 by Karen. Nah - no attention whoring there. What a loser
  23. Who the fuck thinks there's a lot of people TRYING to live off $7.50 an hour? You??
  24. Hey, Karen McGregor ... I gave you the attention you always need, so for that ... you're welcome. Go knock someone's teeth out, tough chick
  25. Figure it out for yourself, attention whore. It ain't hard.
