It is still in review- First time posters w screen name to email address’s go to review first- I typed it just like yours so if it is reviewed by a human maybe they will catch it- or if they are reading the blog they will for sure. but it did allow me to get to the review spot- it should automatically say that screen name is taken.

So BrandonM…what is the car and nazi thing? I have been shirking off on my clients computers trying to find something but I am coming up with zip!

I also used the email address I use for Kahuna- I would have to try it with a diff email address also

300 is clearly in our sights!!!

Good point Kahuna. You do make yourself look stupid! 🙂
Just don’t make yourself look as stupid as me do…then I will always hold the stupid crown and kingdom!

OK…I’ll start giving hints.

Hint Number 1: Henry Ford was a friend of Adolf Hitler

BrandonM…I know about Ford and his ties to Hitler but the SS is a Chevy tag…

>>> From Who Financed Hitler: The Secret Funding of Hitler’s Rise to Power 1919-1933 by James Pool and Suzanne Pool (The Dial Press, 1978), pp 111, 129:

“That Henry Ford, the famous automobile manufacturer gave money to the National Socialists directly or indirectly has never been disputed,” said Konrad Heiden, one of the first biographers of Hitler.[87] Novelist Upton Sinclair wrote in The Flivver King, a book about Ford, that the Nazis got forty-thousand dollars from Ford to reprint anti-Jewish pamphlets in German translations, and that an additional $300,00 was later sent to Hitler through a grandson of the ex-Kaiser who acted as an intermediary.[88] The US Ambassador to Germany, William E. Dodd, said in an interview that “certain American industrialists had a great deal to do with bringing fascist regimes into being in both Germany and Italy.”[89] At the time of Dodd’s criticisms, the general public was aware that he was speaking of Ford because the press made a direct association between Dodd’s statements and other reports of Ford’s anti-Semitism.

….

Henry Ford’s reward from Hitler finally came in July 1938, when on his seventy-fifth birthday he was awarded the Grand Cross of the Supreme Order of the German Eagle. Ford was the first American and the fourth person in the world to receive this medal, which was the highest decoration that could be given to any non-German citizen. Benito Mussolini, another of Hitler’s financiers, had been decorated with the same honor earlier that year.[128]

The presentation was made in Ford’s Dearborn office by the German Counsul on Cleveland, Karl Kapp, and Consul Fritz Hailer of Detroit. Kapp placed the silk red sash over Ford’s right shoulder. The sash was worn in a diagonal line from the right shoulder to the left hip where it was clasped with a gold and white cross. Kapp then pinned a large, shining star-shaped medal of Ford’s white suit. The decoration was given “in recognition of [Ford’s] pioneering in making motor cars available for the masses.” Hitler’s personal congratulatory message accompanied the award.[129]

I have seen them used (Port Tongs) and made some informal ones (that did not work) but do not own any REAL Port Tongs.
Though I do have a friend with the nickname “Hot Tongs”

I wonder if people would get confused if I changed my screen name to Port Tongs?
