  1. i can agree with that, and its only been 12 hours... -b I'm not the percent you think survives, I need sanctuary in the pages of this book...
  2. most of the original gadgets were unrealistic on a similar scale back in the late 60s/70s (ok, with the obvious exception of the AM "Vanish") it just doesnt seem so nowadays. in 30 years when were all shattering glass with our ring fingers, and buying watches with high-power cutting lasers, you will understand -b I'm not the percent you think survives, I need sanctuary in the pages of this book...
  3. no doubt. although i didnt like goldfinger as much as a book. Dr. No was the best of the books. whats everyones choice for the next bond? the current favorites are hugh jackman, clive owen, and ewan mcgregor. i probably like owen the best out of those, although jackman has a little more personality. -b I'm not the percent you think survives, I need sanctuary in the pages of this book...
  4. in EPA tests, yes. in real life.....not so much. i suppose it can depend on the nature of the city driving, and whether there is some highway mixed in. but in general, most hybrids will average slightly better on the highway. but you are correct about them shutting off the gas engines much of the time in the city. another interesting emissions technology is the selective cylinder control found on the chrysler 300 (i believe only on the v8 model), where on the highway it runs on only 4 cylinders, since a car at highway speeds needs so much less power to maintain speed. it increases highway mileage by at least 5mpg i think. nice to see one of the 'big three' actually doing something about emissions rather than just focusing on making bigger and bigger SUVs (although technically, the 300 is a sight closer to a mercedes than a chrysler). -b I'm not the percent you think survives, I need sanctuary in the pages of this book...
  5. very nice! ill be sure to check this one out when its on. my sister is obsessed with these shows, so im sure she will be watching it anyway. glad everything went well, and more importantly, that he liked it
  6. reminds me of the pictures of the planes flying over the beaches in san marino to land at their airport. ill post some if i can find them again. -b I'm not the percent you think survives, I need sanctuary in the pages of this book...
  7. in case no one mentioned it, the major advantage of a hybrid car is for city driving. most hybrids average almost the same city mileage as they do for highway. if you do lots of city driving, the hybrid is the way to go. mostly highway driving? get a diesel. vw's TDI's are among the best out there. not to mention interior quality is much higher in a golf/jetta tdi than most of the entry hybrid vehicles. -b I'm not the percent you think survives, I need sanctuary in the pages of this book...
  8. i picked a carrot for the second one, but the other 2 didnt work for me. -b I'm not the percent you think survives, I need sanctuary in the pages of this book...
  9. i get it a lot from other vw/audi enthusiasts. and lately.......from random people who apparently like my car for some reason. -b I'm not the percent you think survives, I need sanctuary in the pages of this book...
  10. i think the funniest part is the awkward cut back to the studio. "and, pretend like you care in: 3, 2, 1....." -b I'm not the percent you think survives, I need sanctuary in the pages of this book...
  11. Doubt it, but I'm sure the guy doing the editing got a blister on his mouse-finger or CTS. indeed. so so fake. -b I'm not the percent you think survives, I need sanctuary in the pages of this book...
  12. The pall bearers are carrying a casket out of a church when they accidentally bump into a wall, and it jars the casket. They hear a faint moan from inside, so they open it to find that the woman is still alive. She lives for ten more years, and then dies. The funeral is held at the same church, and at the end of the ceremony, the pall bearers are carrying out the casket again. As they're walking, the husband says, "For Christ's sakes, watch out for the fucking wall." ------------------------------------- There's a guy with a Doberman pincher and a guy with a chijuajua. The guy with the Doberman pincher says to the guy with a chijuajua, "Let's go over to that restaurant and get something to eat." The guy with the chijuajua says, "We can't go in there. We've got our dogs with us." The guy with the Doberman pincher says, "Just follow my lead." They walk over to the restaurant, the guy with the Doberman pincher puts on a pair of dark glasses, and he goes to walk in. A guy at the door says, "Sorry, mac, no pets allowed. The guy with the Doberman pincher says, "You don't understand. This is my seeing-eye dog." The guy at the door says, "A Doberman pincher?" He says, "Yes, they're using them now, they're excellent." The guy at the door says, "Come on in." The guy with the chijuajua figures, "What the hell." He puts on a pair of dark glasses and goes to walk in. The guy at the door says, "Sorry, pal, no pets allowed." The guy with the chijuajua says, "You don't understand. This is my seeing-eye dog." The guy at the door says, "A chijuajua?" He says, "They gave me a chijuajua?" -------------------------------------------- An old man was sitting on a bench in the mall when a young man with spiked hair came over and sat down beside him. The boy's hair was yellow and green and orange and purple. He had black makeup around his eyes. The old man just stared at him. The boy said, "What's the matter, old man, haven't you ever done anything wild in your life?" The old man answered, "Well, yes. Actually I have. I once got drunk and had sex with a parrot. I was just wondering if you were my son." --------------------------------------------- An 80 year old man was having his annual checkup and the doctor asked him how he was feeling. "I’ve never been better!" he boasted. "I’ve got an eighteen year old bride who’s pregnant and having my child! What do you think about that?" The doctor considered this for a moment, then said, "Let me tell you a story. I knew a guy who was an avid hunter. He never missed a season. But one day he went out in a bit of a hurry and he accidentally grabbed his umbrella instead of his rifle." The doctor continued, "So he was in the woods and suddenly a huge grizzly bear appeared in front of him! Terrified, he raised up the umbrella, pointed it at the bear, and squeezed the handle." "And do you know what happened?" the doctor queried. Dumbfounded, the old man replied "No" The doctor continued, "There was a loud explosion, and the bear dropped dead in front of him!" "That’s impossible!" exclaimed the old man. "Someone else must have shot the bear." "That’s kind of what I’m getting at..." Replied the doctor --------------------------------------- Three guys were working on a high rise building project: Steve, Bill and Charlie. Steve falls off and is killed instantly. As the ambulance takes the body away, Charlie says, "Someone should go and tell his wife." Bill says, "OK, I'm pretty good at that sensitive stuff, I'll do it." 2 hours later, he comes back carrying a 6-pack. Charlie says, "Where did you get that, Bill?" "Steve's wife gave it to me." "That's unbelievable, you told the lady her husband was dead and she gave you the beer." Bill says,"Well not exactly. When she answered the door, I said to her, 'You must be Steve's widow.'" She said, "'No, I'm not a widow." And I said, "Wanna bet me a six-pack?" -b I'm not the percent you think survives, I need sanctuary in the pages of this book...
  13. hm....that reminds me, add 'while getting a bj' to my earlier post. (i mean, there has to be some reason that i would wreck!) -b I'm not the percent you think survives, I need sanctuary in the pages of this book...
  14. thanks for the info. however, turning any attention towards base jumping is at least a couple years off in the distance, so im not thinking too deeply about it right now. just like to get my self out of a few planes first. -b I'm not the percent you think survives, I need sanctuary in the pages of this book...
  15. just as soon as i become dissatisfied with the boobies and try to do something else......ill let you know -b I'm not the percent you think survives, I need sanctuary in the pages of this book...
  16. thats the most fun ive ever had losing so bad at a game. -b I'm not the percent you think survives, I need sanctuary in the pages of this book...
  17. i would go out in a wreck down the mulsanne straight (pre-chicanes) (http://www.aysedasi.btinternet.co.uk/2002/trackmap.JPG) in one of these - http://www.quantumsoft.co.uk/files/clipart/jpegs/cars/McLaren_F1_LM.jpg. but not after a day or two's worth of laps -b I'm not the percent you think survives, I need sanctuary in the pages of this book...
  18. you better hope they get some serious snow, pronto. they lost their whole base a couple weeks ago, and only have a handful of trails open right now, all of which with lots of bare spots. and its 60 degrees there right now. on the bright side, they are offering discounted rates because of the shit conditions. if thats a bright side. i will surely head out there once they get some decent natural snow down. -b I'm not the percent you think survives, I need sanctuary in the pages of this book...
  19. i do that with the shawshank redemption. i have it on dvd, and watch it all the time, but still tune in if its on tv. i remember TNT used to show it 3 or 4 times in a row sometimes, and i would always end up watching it at least a couple times in a row. james bond movies, too. -b I'm not the percent you think survives, I need sanctuary in the pages of this book...
  20. damn........HFS was one of my favorite stations when i lived down there for 11 years. been to a couple HFStivals as well. a couple of the songs from the new Mars Volta album are half in spanish......maybe they'll still play that. -b I'm not the percent you think survives, I need sanctuary in the pages of this book...
  21. oh trust me im far from egotistical. i was just bored at 6 in the morning and decided to do something other than the typical boring introduction. been to europe, but never ridden there. currently i ride a volant hybrid ds163. also have a burton air 161 (over 10 years old!!) that i keep around foor poor conditions, or jibbing (or until the antique museum offers start rolling in). -b I'm not the percent you think survives, I need sanctuary in the pages of this book...
  22. ok, ok, so its a bit ambitious to think you'll all love or hate me that much, but nevertheless.... hi. havent jumped yet, but hoping to learn this spring/summer. aside from my desire to hurl myself from a perfectly good airplane (and maybe eventually a bridge or a cliff), i snowboard, spend most if not all my money on my car, and take the occasional class or two working towards a degree in mechanical engineering (going on the 10 year program). im 23, stuck in pittsburgh (philly native - go birds)......aaaand thats all i can think of now. want to know more? fire away. man that looks like an introduction at an AA meeting (which im probably also qualified to join). -b I'm not the percent you think survives, I need sanctuary in the pages of this book...
