26:4 Do not answer a fool according to his folly, or you will be like him yourself.

26:7 Like a lame man’s legs that hang limp is a proverb in the mouth of a fool.

26:17 Like one who seizes a dog by the ears is a passer-by who meddles in a quarrel not his own.

26:24-26 A malicious man disguises himself with his lips, but in his heart he harbors deceit. Though his speech is charming, do not believe him, for seven abominations fill his heart. His malice may be concealed by …

It’s hard to believe it’s been another year for amplizine. I’m curious if anything will ever come of it. God knows I want to find more time for it, but I would probably be lying if I said this year will be better. For now, I just want to recap the previous year and leave you with a little something else: hope. I know, right? From this pessimistic schmuck?

It was a difficult year for LilPickle. There were ups and downs, fast and slow, excitement …

Complete 250 cubic inch inline six engine and 2-speed Powerglide transmission out of a 1969 Chevy Nova. 148600 miles. Runs okay, but could use a rebuild.  It hasn’t been run regularly for over a year now, but it used to be my everyday driver. Includes everything bolted on the engine–power steering pump, HEI ignition, alternator, progressive 2 barrel carburetor, starter.  Selling to make room for a LS1.  I’m also moving soon, and I would like to not have to move the engine separately. $300 o.b.o. for it all. …

I got something to say. Just wanted to keep you up-to-date on where we are at. We are doing some things behind the scenes, LilPickle is systematically adding all the old site content to our new system, and I am preparing to split off into a new direction with the site.

Speaking of new directions, I have a couple things planned. The first thing I want to do is get back to releasing XHTML+CSS templates like the ones you can find on Open Designs. The image to your …

Well, they had to start somewhere too.

Welcome all to the new site. We’re still working out a lot of issues and planning type stuff. For instance, what the hell makes amplizine special?

Still researching that.

Oh that reminds me. I’m going to get some reviews back on the site soon. Yes! You too can read our old reviews of movies and games that people no longer care about. Hey, at least it’s more exciting …
