Corphibian with 157 miles

Post by whc03grady » Mon Dec 07, 2015 2:36 pm

It's air-cooled, RR, and goes in the water. It's not a Schwimmwagen, or even a Ford, but I'll take it.

HOWEVER, amazing ol' America circa 1962 also had unbelievable smog, dangerous cars, lynchings, rampant child abuse, mob hits, a lot of bombs, pockets of severe poverty, rampant sexism, lead paint galore, an ascending Richard Nixon, and the damn chicken war that made VW trucks too expensive.. . .

Naw, we are doing very much better in a lot of ways . . . but that bores people.
Nixon was a paragon of rectitude compared with the Krazy Klown Kar Klatch tootin' their xenophobiphoneys.

I got a feeling that thing would be at the bottom of the lake faster than you can say "Corphibian."

First, by reflection, which is noblest;
second, by immitation, which is easiest;
and third, by experience, which is bitterest. -Confucius
