Good to see it's finally getting a release though. *foghorn*
Oh, definitely. I have such fond memories of watching that show, but for $80 (and that's 20% off) I'm not sure they're that fond :lol:

Just do what I do. Download it now so you can watch it and then buy it later when the price drops. I know that's not strictly legit, but when you're short on cash, it's what ya gotta do sometimes (and yes, I do eventually buy most of the stuff I download if it's available).
I'm not a glitch, I just have pixlexia.

Or just not be an entitled greedy guts and wait. You don't "gotta do" anything when it comes to entertainment. You aren't going to die. :roll:

I have this stump in my yard that is essentially petrified (axed it and just does nothing, the axe bounces off...). So, I was going to burn it. So, I light it on fire, but it just won't take off - I decide to douse it w/gasoline straight from the plastic can. Apparently, there was still enough of a flame present that it jumped from the stump, up the flow of gas and straight to the can - I panicked and dropped the can, now the flame was inside the can and basically a 5 gallon bomb sitting there.

In my quick thinking, I ran to get the hose...proceeding to spread the fire through our grass and to the tree line.

My daughter, 9 at the time (very serious, very smart, very much the parent when she and I are together) starts crying and screaming at me to turn off the hose. "Dad, stop it, you don't know what you're doing. STOP!" She runs to the garage, grabs one of my big work blankets, gives it to me, and I put it on the fire and suffocate it.

Long story short, like I said, i've had 3 really close calls the past couple years and my neighbors had what is tatamount to an intervention, where they asked me to please not have fires and to get rid of my burn barrel. The 4 of us live on a private road in the woods, so we're pretty close about stuff like pets / noise...and apparently fire :mrgreen:
Alright pyro stop useing gas to start fires use kerosene if you insist on burning the stump put a circle of rocks around it water that area down real well keep hose near by take a old paint brush and paint the stump with kerosene well then lite a paper towel roll add fire. This way you don't have to worry about flash ups or exsplotions

Nono, Mike needs to just stay away from fire. This has been established. :lol:

Smile: Watching step niece and nephew.

Ticked: Have to watch step niece and nephew.

Good kids. Especially now that they're watching a movie. Still takes a ton of time and energy. I don't know how parents do it.

Try having six younger siblings, one of which is mentally retarded. Two kids is nothing.

I have yet to meet a parent that knows 'how to do it", they just do. It's a weird thing that I have yet to wrap my head around, and mine will be 2 in October. It's the most rewardingly terrifying thing I have ever done in my life.
