Add one of these and some wire and your almost there.


I think we need us an hillbilly espresso machine.

Something better than putting a moka pot on top of an iron held in place by a shoe (can't find the photo right now)


Hillbilly is such a dated & pejorative word - how 'bout redneck espresso machine? I can see a turkey fryer boiler, and maybe a 3200 psi power washer pump, and a cast iron frying pan portafilter - hmmm...

Nah, Mrs T wouldn't let me do that.

This squirrel's got a head start on the wiring plans.

There is always a winner ... the question is by "what margin"?

Maybe we need new classifications?

Winner: Plays well enough to deserve a win.
Loser: Doesn't play well enough to deserve a win.
Eker: Plays well enough not to lose.

So in the Pepsi Challenge; Coke may lose, but Pepsi just eked out the win.

Or, to bring it closer to home for some; Ohio State may eke out a win over Michigan, but neither team would ever be considered a winner.

Or, when Bama & LSU play; one team may outscore the other, but both teams are really winners.

So, would the Le Pepi/Le Tina matchup be a Big 10 or SEC type of confrontation?
