Default Can anyone tell me...
Why do people refer to 4 strokes and 2 strokes as 4T and 2T? Last I checked "Stroke" start with s. I can see 4T as in Thumper but not anything for a 2 stroke.

" I am part German, my surname is Schultz "

I'm guessing he's related to Sergeant 'I see nothing' Schultz

Kann ich ihre Zwerg kaufen? I was in an eatery in Koln, playing language games with some dutch guys. It got a laugh. It's not politically correct by any means.
