There is some interesting stuff here. I especially liked the Infancy Gospel of Thomas. Jesus was a mean little bastard. Someone should start a cult based on all of the available writing by the early christians. It would be a lot more credible than any mainstream branch of christianity that I know of...

The only junkyard I know of in oak ridge is fox auto salvage. They have a lot of newer cars and they're expensive. Every junkyard I've visited around here has been overpriced. It's something to do with supply and demand and the abundance of rednecks in this area. Lambert's on clinton hwy is my favor...

It depends on the type of head and how the gasket fails. If compression is escaping into another passage, it can erode a channel in the head. I've only see this on aluminum heads. If too much metal is eroded away, a machine shop can't fix it. Another possibility is, if the blown head gasket caused t...

I don't buy the stuff about the hands not being able to support the body's weight. I've skinned and butchered quite a few animals. Skin, muscle and tendons are a lot tougher than you might think.

As far as I know, all of those volkswagen buses were air-cooled, and none of them had much power. I don't know much about volkswagons. I'm much more familiar with american junk. An econ...

Does anyone else find it odd that the vast majority of people who post here appear to have similar political views? Before I read this site, I would never have guessed that the democrats have a goth constituency. I personally won't vote for a demican or a republicrat.

Thanks for all the greetings and self-restraint. I've been too busy lately to keep up with my stories, but it seems that not much is going on. Some of my favorite characters haven't been very entertaining. It seems to go in a cycle, though (perhaps monthly), so I'm sure something entertaining will h...

Hi, I'm new here. I've known about this site for some time, and I occasionally read threads. I find a lot of the threads interesting, especially when there are mentions of or links to xanga sites. This site, along with your xangas, makes a pretty good soap opera. Such a variety of characters... good...
