66, I wish you could have been with us. We had snow, sunshine, snow and a lot of walking.

Hambone did not fish at all. He hung out with the wife at camp the entire time. Tell girlscout to call me and let me know what time to pick him up for our fishing trip tomorrow.

The thread got deleted if I remember correctly. Here's the gist of it:
- a woman rides with Ryder glasses and somehow falls on her face and cuts her nose.
- blames the Ryder sunglass company and her husband goes on the offensive by spamming forums looking for other parties similarly injured
- person gets roasted, flamed and broiled here for the thread

I'm sure if you do a google search for "Ryder sunglasses lawsuit injury" or some combination like that you'll find hits on other forums. I'm sure the tone of the replies will be similar to what occured here.

That's hysterical. I would think a few cuts would be the desired outcome instead of loss of vision.
