Bushwack Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I'll give it a go.The thugs I see is a Buick Electra on the right (circa 1968-69). I can't determine the car on the left (a '57 Special or Century??). The car in the middle looks like a 1959 Electra. But can't be certain as some old guys are blocking the view.

padgett Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 If you do not know what a BlueBonnet is, you have never had a chicken fried steak done proper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Eaton Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Kit is from that western state that is about to slip off into the Pacific and has apparantly never been to Texas or listened to a country & western song.Bluebonnets are the Texas state flower and are abundant in the spring, when this meet is held.

Jim Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I think I recognize two of the people and definitely know the guy in the white shirt. He should also be wearing a white hat as he provides us with lots of good advice.My question is do they clean the Buick on the right with that mop and bucket?

padgett Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Now try it in EBCDIC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EDBSO Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Hi padgett. Thanks for making my head hurt. Barney should also understand EBCDIC. Can it be when I was young I programmed a PDP8 in Octal and actually knew what I was doing? Too old to clearly recall and don’t want to think about it.
