I guess we'll let gramps answer this one now!  I think he'll be happy to show that he knows what "STP" means in 2008  ;D

I just e-mailed a coupon for STP,,,,That's it...... >:D

Actually, Ron, I'm curious if you have ever used STP; do you know what a stiff consistency it is??
It was really popular at one time, but I have a feeling that it may have been 5 years ahead of you? ?
Obviously, Gary is well versed in it's application and use.

So, PHIL, I may have missed it in an earlier post, but what is your age. ?
Do you identify with STP as an exceptional lubricant (but no longer necessary with modern synthetics)?

I know what it is. I was born in 64. If you really call yourself a Skier, then you would only think of STP as a gear dump site... >:D

OOOOO.  I get it.  I even understand Lynn's Well Done comment.  Properly humiliated I am -- and I graduated from high school in '66.

OK, reading matter for Phil to help with his boredom.

Before Computers
An application was for employment
A program was a TV show
A cursor used profanity
A keyboard was a piano!

Memory was something that you lost with age
A CD was a bank account
And a floppy disk was something
Terribly wrong in your back.

Compress was something you did to garbage
Not something you did to a file
And if you unzipped anything in public
You'd be in jail for awhile!

Log on was adding wood to a fire
Hard drive was a long trip on the road
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived
And a backup happened to your commode!

Cut - you did with a pocket knife
Paste you did with glue
A web was a spider's home
And a virus was the flu!

I guess I'll stick to my pad and paper
And the memory in my head
I hear nobody's been killed in a computer crash
But when it happens they wish they were dead!

Richard Petty's 44 Dodge was sponsored by STP...the other, non ski related one.

We are going see if you dress me up, can I be taken out in public. Ron is trying to get back at me for exposing him to the evils of hardgoods purchases with softgoods. I am just not that fashion savy. Now, if SOS (no relation to either STP's or even STD's) were to come back into the states, all bets are off.

I was gonna mention Petty as well. # 43 IIRC.

I never really used STP. I'm more of a Marvel Mystery Oil or SeaFoam kinda guy.

Ron
I think Jim gets it now.
I admit, it went over my head the first time.
 Not so astute as I thought I was. :-[ And I just ordered a couple of things this past week!!

Phil
So tell us, what color new ski pants did you get??
And what color is your existing jacket??
Oh, do you still have  "the sweater"????
Vintage, if done properly, can be fashion forward!!
And we are all terribly fashion conscious here at RS.
You know, the bright orange. gingham plaid pants, match your skis kind of crowd! (NOT)

Phil
I am missing the SOS reference. Please tell???
However, I get the STP and STD's. (especially the STD's, though properly referred to these days as STI's!!! I=infection. More PC)

Lynn,

You seem like the only one here who is acting like an adult. SOS is Sportswear of Sweden, It is my favorite line of clothing, I have been wearing it since it came around in the 80's. 'The Sweater' is of SOS vintage, 89ish. Unfortunately, SOS is not currently marketed on the US so I am forced to either shop Ebay, where my current SOS collection comes from or use other brands, such as the pants that Ron got me to buy were Spyder.

Well, they are anthracite with black highlights so they aren't just plain...
