My wife has that with one of our neighbors. They are oblivious to
their barking dogs outside when anyone walks by.

heh I don't have a problem with him. It's the other way around. He's
scared half to death of me and that's working out real well for me. I don't
hear a peep out of that that guy. Intimidation works

If it's convertible. Can you go out and fill it with the garden hose,
before the tow guy moves it?

OK...stupid question(s).

If you don't have a problem with him, why have you intimidated him to
the point where he's afraid of you?

If you don't have a problem with him, why has the misfortune related
to his bimmer made this the best day of your life?

P.S. You have my sympathies if this truly is the best day of your

Nah--they are not dumb. I was thinking the same thing. And obviously it's
not really the best day of my life. I'm sure that would of been back in my

I wouldn't own one but the are nice looking cars. Too pricey for me, and my
neighbor apparently. I still drive my 1998 Toyota Tacoma and will until the
wheels fall off. Car pmts. are a thing of the past for me. He was living
beyond his means. Seem to be the thing to do around here. Seemingly everyone
here (Austin) has a Lexus, Infinity, BMW, Corvette, etc.... I just never got
into the status car thing. I'd much rather have another dirt bike and a
trail to tear up. :-) Or a boat.

has repeatedly refused to do so on the grounds that it is too late. In 1943,
as a 17-year-old, he and 39 other resistance fighters were sent to Germany
where they worked with dangerous chemicals, some dying within a few months,
and only four of the group were still alive as of May 2009.[16]

Dunno about dogs, but those ultrasonic tapeless tape measures sure do a
job on cats. Accidentally nailed the house cat with one, years ago, and
he hid for hours. First time I ever saw a cat do a standing back flip
and land running the opposite direction. Took a week before he would get
anywhere near me again.

Oh, dopey me. I only parked them on the Las Vegas Strip for ten years.
What do I know? Part of that ten years was from 68 to 70 when they were
looked at as a foreign piece of ****. Then from 82 to 90, when they were
better. But we called them Beemers. I've probably driven more of them than
you've ever seen. I even got to drive the Beatle's psychedelic Bentley.
They didn't own it at the time, Dr. Lonnie Hammargren, a local brain surgeon
did. But, hey, you know more than I about such things, so call it whatever
makes you happy.

Can't lay hands on it right now. My MIL bought it at IIRC Big Lots for
about $3. Two of our dogs go running when we hit it, but the other just
tightens his jaw a bit. It is blue, and about 1.5" x 1.5" x 3". 9v.
battery. I will post when I find it. Just got home, and things are all
over. I have seen them in those catalogs that my MIL gets with all that
crazy stuff in them.

I have a chihuahua. They are stupid. Really stupid. She does the same thing.
I really don't have the heart to use it on her anymore but the damn thing
works. I think those collars are more appropriate for large dogs.

Did you ever see if it works on yourself? It would really suck to use it on
a dog next to a dog that didn't have one on that continually barked. It
might cause some serious psychological damage.

concentration camps in some of his factories.[14]
A documentary aired on German TV in 2007 claimed that Quandt not only used
slave labour, but also sidestepped postwar recrimination. BMW itself was
not
implicated in the documentary, and the firm has made no comment about the
Quandts, but claims to have confronted its own wartime history via
independent research projects.[14] The Quandt family responded by pledging
to fund a research project into the family's Nazi past and its role under
the Third Reich.[15]
Former Danish freedom fighter Carl Adolf Sørensen (b. ca. 1927) has been
asked to meet with the Quandt family and possibly receive compensation,
but
has repeatedly refused to do so on the grounds that it is too late. In
1943,
as a 17-year-old, he and 39 other resistance fighters were sent to Germany
where they worked with dangerous chemicals, some dying within a few
months,
and only four of the group were still alive as of May 2009.[16]

You should remember your tame Nazi rocket scientist Werner von Braun
(dec) has blood on his hands too.

Oh yeah, but I didn't have a choice in that purchase. He was trying to build
rockets not flying bombs. That was Hitler's side of the equation. He was
more than willing to disassociate himself from the Nazis at the end of the
war, but he was a big cog in the machine. The rocket program was particually
ugly because it ran so long into the end of the war, when things got
desperate. As I recall, he was appaled by the brutality. I think he felt
trapped. Interesting article about him on wiki. I've always felt conflicted
about Werner von Braun. He wasn't like the other high ranking Nazis. It was
a good thing he evaded the Russians and ran towards the Americans.

I take it you don't like your neighbor?

Don't know about you, but I don't like anyone who owns a BMW. They have a
Mercedes wannabe complex, and act out. Hey, I can't help it if they can't
afford a Mercedes and have to settle for a Beemer.

A Beemer is a BMW motorcycle. The BMW car is called a Bimmer.

Oh, dopey me. *I only parked them on the Las Vegas Strip for ten years.
What do I know? *Part of that ten years was from 68 to 70 when they were
looked at as a foreign piece of ****. *Then from 82 to 90, when they were
better. *But we called them Beemers. *I've probably driven more of them
than you've ever seen. *I even got to drive the Beatle's psychedelic
Bentley. They didn't own it at the time, Dr. Lonnie Hammargren, a local
brain surgeon did. *But, hey, you know more than I about such things, so
call it whatever makes you happy.

It seemed like an incredibly minor detail to me. Chalk it up to: Who really
gives a ****?

My brother is a beemer fanatic..... ****ing Nazi!

OK, so how does parking them or driving them have anything to do with
what the fact that you called them by the wrong name?
