I always confuse Piers Morgan with Pierce Brosnon.

How very dare you!  

That’s my favourite Bond you’re talking about. 

Yes. We are all obliged to have one over here. 

Pierce Brosnan is nobody's favourite Bond.

Glad you said it, and not me.  Maybe he will listen to his own country-men.  Daniel Craig is the best Bond.

Also wrong. Roger Moore, although Daniel Craig > Pierce Brosnan.

Let's tidy this loose end up.

Lazenby doesn't count, neither does Niven.
Dalton - second stringer because PB was unavailable
Connery - great role model for the woollen garment industry, less so for those who advocate against violence in a domestic setting 
Moore - hilarious, a national treasure and inventor of terrific ice-cream on a stick refreshments  (probably apocryphal)
Craig - benefitted from much better films, casting and production.  Check-out Layer Cake for peak Craig. 
*DELETED*

I think you'll find that wholly correct and accurate.  

Layer Cake was first movie I saw Daniel Craig.  What a great film!

Also, I fixed your description of the various Bonds.  You were so close until the last line.

Some more outdoor kitchen stuff arrived.  Was hoping it would all arrive at once, but they have utilized almost every carrier I know of, plus some I have never heard of to ship everything.

Do you have Laser Ship around you?

They are very entertaining to watch.  It seems as if they have vehicles that are barely road-worthy.  They will throw it in park on a 4 lane, 55mph "highway," open the sliding van door (usually 90's vintage Ford Econoline), grab your laser printer, run across the street and across your lawn to make the delivery.  Meanwhile traffic is now snarled near your business or residence and the driver has to then try to cross this street again with the added congestion.

This screengrab from their website does not represent my experiences with this company.

Haha!  No, but our last mile contracted Amazon drivers sound about the same.  Busted windows, missing hub caps, muffler deletes.  I imagine the use the vans to sell speakers at malls during off-hours.

My local rug guy has a huge sign that reads, "Buy rugs not drugs" when selling out of the local American Legion parking lot. I'm sure he has an eight ball of booger sugar and some blotters if rugs aren't you're thing. Never trust a rug sign...

When I was 16, my buddy's girlfriend's dad was a cop.  One night while we were hanging out at her house, the cop/dad went out to my car and stuck a magnetic sign on the passenger side that I did not see until day 2 of driving it.

It was all offical looking, except for the fact that I drove a red 1986 VW GTi.

Today I got a Shun meat cleaver, honing rod, and, of course, a bag of Rockwood from stlcharcoal.  I also took the tip about the Shun warehouse deal last week and picked up a slicer.

saluki2007

I’ve always loved the thought of having a meat cleaver in my small collection. The thing that holds me back is the practicality of it. What would I use it for?  What’s your plan for the blade?

I'm 100% Shun now.  One thing about them and their 16 degree VG Max steel is they don't want you to use on hard food or bone.  The cleaver is a tougher AUS8 and I mainly used my old cleaver for cutting squashes in half, like butternut and spaghetti.

The slicer is also AUS8 and will be used as a carver, and I won't worry about hitting bones. It's also very flexible and can be used to fillet.

I was at Lowes Sunday and a guy was buying the display 24" Kamado Joe. My son and I stuck around to see how the Lowes guys were going to get it in the truck.  I started talking to the new owner and learned he paid $500 for it and it's normally $1,200.

I went in to ask the Lowes grill people about it and they confirmed. They were totally surprised it would ring up at that price and they recently got the display. One of the workers wish he knew it was $500 because he would have bought.

I called around and could not find this deal anywhere. Actually, a bit relieved because I do no need another ceramic grill/smoker.

Going do the paperwork on this thing before the weekend so I can get the tax credit

Their large version was selling around $350 a month or so ago.

tax credit @ColbyLang?  Looks share BTW

ColbyLang

You can write off the sales tax on a new vehicle. Don’t have to take delivery of it. Have VIN, won’t give up my trade in until we actually receive the Bronco. 

BigreenGreg

Merry Christmas to you! Pics of course upon delivery.

Never heard that. Thanks @ColbyLang
