    Default Strange!

    I logged on today and started reading a thread in FC about air/fuel metering. Suddenly I noticed there was a little baby fly in my screen so I reached up to smack it and couldn't. Very strange! So I changed the page and sure enough the fly went away. Went back to the page and there it was. Very strange!

    It was like the Apexspeed web page was being projected on some other screen that the fly was on then being sent to me. Very strange. Perhaps Apexspeed has a baby fly infested hard drive? Very strange indeed!

    And NO the fly was not under my screen lens.

    pretty sure it has something to do with a comparison of the amount of funds set aside for fermented beverages, while in a motorsport competition..................

    Not sure if you're serious or not, it took me a couple seconds to figure it out. Isn't it his (beer budget) avatar?

    This was before noon. Only thing I was drinking was Dr. Pepper. I swear it really happened just like I described it.

    For anyone who doesn't know what Rick is talking about (and really, it's not the first time ), it's one of the more entertaining avatars ever...

    Rumor has it that a monitor or two may have been damaged due to the infestation. Best avatar ever!

    I'm stumped. At least Rick won't try to swat it off of his monitor.
