What about them?
The Colosseum had "retractable sun shields".
Like a movable tent.
Controlled by ropes.
They tried, to keep you in the shade.
The best they could.

That is true.
It is cloudy in England.
The best country, is the USA.
Mexico
Is too hot.
The USA
Is "the best piece of real estate" on the planet.
That's why
It is "New Jer USAlem".

Re: Hey Homeys, here is Mark Dreher, what can I do for you?
You know those sunshields you can put up on your windshield when you park your car to keep the sun off the steering wheel?
Translations for Brits: A windshield is a 'windscreen' or something, and the sun is a very hot ball of gas in the sky that makes things really hot and shiny.
Well, for some reason, they've been really really hard to find around here lately. I was able to find one, which is a folding metallic thing, but it's cumbersome and really crinkly and stuff and it's hard to put up. And I've been looking for them every time I'm in a store that might sell that sort of thing.
The two kinds I've had before were a plain cardboard (the one I had had a Bat signal) kind that you accordion fold. Similar to the kind I have now, but the cardboard kinds are stiff and easier to fold.
The ideal kind, though, is I think called a "spring shade," and it's a sort of fabric composed of two large flexible circles, connected together, that you can quickly and easily fold and unfold, so that it's small and portable but easily expanded.
But I was seriously starting to think maybe they were a safety hazard or something and weren't being made anymore, because I couldn't find one for the life of me. Until today, but like I said, they only had Tinkerbell themed ones. Which should be OK, because it would actually complement Matlock's car nicely, but whatever. If he doesn't want it, I'll just use it on the station wagon because I guess I am just secure in my masculinity like that.
So anyways, Matlock, if you want me to, I suppose I could make you a custom accordion sunshield out of cardboard and duct tape or something if you'd like. I could even put a giant jizzing penis on it if that helps.

Duct tape. It's all about the duct tape with you, isn't it?

NO.
There's also Sugru and metal tape and flashlights and burritos. But I'm not making you a burrito and flashlight sunshield, no matter how hard you ask.

What I use, for my Trans Am, is, a complete car cover.
You buy them at Farm Fleet, in Baxter MN.
They cost $45.00
OverDrive PolyPRO 3 Car Cover - Mills Fleet Farm
Very soft, water proof, sun proof.
Covers, the whole car.
A car like that, has to be protected, even in a garage, from "incidental light".
Which would fade the paint.
So
I go all out.
45 bucks, very nice.

Re: Hey Homeys, here is Mark Dreher, what can I do for you?
Yeah, Matlock has a "garage" for that. It cost more than $45, though.
The Tinkerbell sunshield was $7.
The cardboard screen should be doable using stuff we already have around, so the only immediate cost is my selfless labor of love. I just remembered that we have some glow in the dark duct tape, which would be a nice touch for the jizz.

Well, as I said, I have a garage too.
But, a car like mine, must be protected from "incidental light".
Which is the light, that comes in, from the garage windows.
Show cars.
Must be stored, in "complete dark".
Any light, that hits it, is "fading the paint".
To one degree, or another.
If you have to repaint, the car, the value goes way down.
An OEM stock car, in original paint, unfaded.
Is the most valuable.
Just, like it drove off the showroom floor.
That's what people want.
The Barret Jackson auction
Goes nuts, for an unfaded car, OEM, stock.
That is the most valuable.
If you paint it
It is a piece of junk.
As per them.

Your car sounds pretty fragile.
Can it go through puddles, or does that hurt it too?

Well actually, it is made of plastic, like a corvette.
So, no rust.
The only metal, is the hood, and the "upper rear quarter panels".
Once you got one of those, newer Trans Ams, you just don't "smash them", and they will last forever.
And a sun shade, you know, protects from fading.
They are pretty sturdy.
I was flying back from a hemp run from Minneapolis, about two weeks ago, and hit a big raccoon, at about 85hph.
It went BAM!
But no damage.
To me.
Never found the raccoon.
He disintegrated.
Like a firecracker
Going off.
BAM.

God, sits in my lap.
We drive, in a very awkward manner.
She likes, doing the steering, but not the pedals.
She steers.
And I have to do the pedals.
It's dangerous, but that's how we do it.
She likes ZOOMING.
As she calls it.
And zooming, is about 100 miles per hour.
She ALWAYS wants to go a hundred.
And expects me, to keep the car from flipping.
Which is very hard.
We go down the road, like an out of control carnival ride.
It's dangerous.
And scary.
But, that just the way God drives.
She don't care.
If it did not "take your breath away"
She would say, the ride sucked.
If your heart, is not racing, like you're scared to death.
She considers that "a failed ride".
She does some crazy shit, every time, we fire that car up.
If a person, puts on a left turn signal, and you want to go around, you normally would "go on the right".
She would not.
She goes
"Kick this son of a bitch, to the floor".
And pass him, in FRONT of him, on the left.
Suicide almost.
I have to go FULL THROTTLE, when I see see turn signal, and pass them
In FRONT of their turn.
They
Almost get killed.
And I
Almost get killed.
Every time.
It is unbelievable.
To drive with God.
She literally, is a MANIAC.
On a carnival ride.
It is unbelievable, actually, how she gets away with it.
Your heart
Feels like it is going to jump out of your chest.
If your heart ain't racing
And if you don't ACTUALLY think, "I AM GOING TO DIE, TODAY"!!!
She would say, "what a boring trip".
That was.
She is a maniac.

No it is not, except for the bumper/spoiler on front. You don't know much about your own car, do you? Do you know if you don't put some 710 lubricant in the 710 filler, the engine will die? Water is a good substitute lubricant, try that. Also, have you had the blinker fluid changed? If not, ask your mechanic to change it asap. I'm pretty sure there was a recall on that model for that.

How to "manipulate God".
How to wrap that guy
Around your finger.
We all know, how Jonah, got stuck in the belly, of the whale.
But HOW
Did he get out?
For THREE DAYS
He was crying out to God.
Save me.
Save me.
Save me.
But
That did not work.
Then, he changed tactics.
And he tried a prayer
"Thanking God"
For stuff.
A prayer of "thankfulness".
And that DID IT.
The whale, he had ENOUGH.
And spit him out.
Right, on the shore.
So
We learned
How to get "God over a barrel".
Thank him.

You must be reading
a different version of
the Book of Jonah
than the one in my
Bible. There is no "Save me."
Nor is the story
at all about "how
to get God to do stuff for
you." No, the book tells
how GOD schooled JONAH:
Given a mission by God,
He ran off, instead--
boarded a ship for
Spain, headed the other way.
God whipped up a storm;
the folks on the ship
sacrificed Jonah--throwing
him overboard. But
God sent a great fish
to SAVE Jonah; let him stew
three days inside.
Only then Jonah prayed.
Never "save me," but "Thanks, God--
I owe you, big time."
The next time that God
gave Jonah a mission, he
went, without question.
So:
"Manipulation"
Was BY God, OF Jonah, NOT
The other way around.

Of course, that's not the

Re: Hey Homeys, here is Mark Dreher, what can I do for you?
The expression that "Jesus arrives on a cloud"
Is probably, more of a metaphor.
Would not you think?
I mean, did you really expect to see a guy, flying around?
Like tweety bird?
Or Superman?
No, that is not too likely.
If you see Superman, "faith", is no longer needed.
Jesus arrives on a cloud, means "The Cloud of God's Glory", in the bible.
"And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the Lord, So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord". (I Kings 8:10-11)
"Now on the day that the tabernacle was erected, the cloud covered the tabernacle, the tent of the meeting, and in the evening it was like the appearance of fire over the tabernacle, until morning". (Numbers 9:15)
And what is that?
Why, that is "The Shekinah".
That I have been telling you about.
Here, is her photo.
Photos of the return of the "Shekinah" back onto the Earth again
I did come with a cloud.
Pictures.
And everything.
Thank you for asking.
