Dave great story, and Uncle Buck is a great flick.

"Here's a quater, now go downtown and have a rat gnaw that thing off your face!" Uncle Buck.

"You should see the french toast, I couldn't fit it through the door."

sORRY, i JUST LOVE THAT MOVIE.

One of our favorite moves too. It sucks you in every time. Now days it usually plays on one of the more commercials than movie channels. so we TIVO it and skip the spam.

It never gets old!

I have been told that backfires are really tough on the exhaust valve. Back before locking steering wheels, I had a '66 Ford pickup. I used to turn the key off for a couple seconds while coasting past someone, then turn it back on. The backfires were spectacular and it was fun to watch the people jump. My dad, from whom I learned that reprehensible behavior :RollEyes2:, once blew his muffler right off doing that.
