nORMY…NormY…NORMY!!! Dude…you got the blue pill mixed up with da yellow pill!!! Geez…do I got to do everything.

Last transmission from Normy was sum-ting about burning up before re-entry…and I’m guessing he wasn’t talking about his Friday night date!!!

Normy…you have the “shrine” god hostage and that’s the reason for your – somewhat long temporary lapse in sound judgment…right…ah…what the hell…just remember “flaps down” and it’s all good eh!!!

Should we not have a “we laughed…we cried…we eyed each other’s HOT sisters” session here!!! Normy…Normy…Normy…why why why must you put us through this…Hell…you have one of the best network shows on air…CSI: Miami…is that not enough!...vrooom vroom, palm trees and naked women…why did you let OT get the best of you. You know, I went several years before I even realized OT was even there…!!! Normy…! Do what’s right!!!

Hmmm...maybe it's just heat stroke

My gas cap won't come off!! When I unlock it, it just spins. How do I get the cap off and what did I break? I'm running out of gas!

i WOULD suspect that the pawl is jammed in the lock position, or the spring has broken (unlikely). Try pushing down hard on the cap and unscrewing. If that fails , you will need to drill a hole in the red outer, big enough to get a rigid piece of wire through(1/16 to 3/32? depends on wire you have), about 3/8 to 1/2" in from the side; push wire through, and rotate cap until wire end meets a hole or something and you should be able to undo it - it worked for me when the key was stolen in shipping.
