    I don't know about ruining their day. Might be the most exciting thing happened around there in a while.

    Arrrrrrrrrrrrrgh! I went to buy more plastigage at the local NAPA. I had explained to the worker the stuff is fragile. The last stick he has he goes and breaks it in several places! I will have to remember not to have him sell plastigage in the future. sigh.

    Plastigage for those of you whom dont know is a tiny plastic wire. Easily broken when handled poorly. You install it between a bearing surface. Torque the bearing. Then remove the cap to the bearing and using the paper sleeve measure the deformity of the plastic.

    Opa (Greek: ώπα) is a common Mediterranean emotional expression. It is frequently used during celebrations such as weddings or traditional dancing. In Greek culture, the expression sometimes accompanies the act of plate smashing.

    Over the centuries, breaking plates has become linked with the Greek concept of kefi (high spirits and fun). Some say that it wards off evil spirits. Others maintain that plates broken during a wedding reception symbolise good luck and a happy, lasting marriage.

    I suppose, since he didn’t have any plates near, that plastigage might work..in theory...

    I estimate somewhere between one and one and a half million misquotes tried to attack Casper coming through the communist state yesterday.

    Score=

    Casper - 1.5 million
    Mosquitoes - 0

    We have a little fishing tackle and bait shop in town that sells more Tshirts than tackle.
