Thanks Fal-Pal! And if I ever accidentally turn an old jeep upside down, I hope our new IK SweetWillyRollbar will be there to save me!

Congrats to SWR, whatever it stands for!

I might be totally off, but I always figured the name meant...

This was the "Willys"! It was the first "Jeep" taking the name later, very versatile, and first mass produced 4WD vehicle!

The thing on the back sticking up in the picture is called a "roll bar", which is there to save you if you accidentally roll your vehicle over, being an off road vehicle.

The roll bar was not standard, but sometimes was added on later because the thing had no roof, and the roll bar can keep you from crushing your head if you end up upside down.

And that's pretty sweet, and so is our resident poster SweetWillyRollbar!

I might be totally wrong about one of my favorite poster's name, but that's what I always got from it!

Either way...

Yeah, it's a Melvins song, which is possibly a reference to what you're talking about

It is.

Well, I went to YouTube hoping there was some cool song about Cruft, and I found that there's some company name Crufts that sponsors dog agility competitions.

Since this was a really nice surprise find I'll link one:

Crufts sponsored my old dog, Siouxsie, in a competition. It was cool, she had a green vest. Siouxsie was Best Dog Ever.

OMG did you call the rest of your dogs the banshees?

Still seeing "standing wave ratio".

I don't remember anymore who it was that changed my brain to see this but whoever you are, I still resent you.

I'll post a really lousy, but exciting to me, 6h probe pigre in a few hours. I hope everybody is excited to see it.

Lmao the cats were The Banshees. They were Milo and Eloise, and Eloise's sole surviving kitten, Monkey. Monkey is an odd cat. All the others have since passed, but my kid still has Monkey. He likes to be carried upside down.

I am going to do this for you. Once I'm in front of a computer. Also, does anyone have the gif of that on hand?

I have an idea for a thread that I'm going to post soon.

Yay yay yay! Thank you very much.
