  1. The weather dick-teasing me all week and now we're back to this crap. And here I just started taking the motorcycle apart to rebuild and now I'm not going to want to touch it till it's warm again

     

    Oh well, at least I have the wiring harness off to play with.

  2. This one really irks me: Ted Haggard! The fact that the guy went on Oprah to tell everyone what's going on in his life was just sickening. I kid you not: I went to his church in 1990 - back when there were approximately 2000 people going there at that time (and I was posted at Fort Carson, CO). In retrospect, his theology was extremely flawed back then, and it still is today. (I don't expect many SS members to understand what I am talking about with regards to theology, but I ask that you guys trust me when I say that I do have a clue what I am talking about in that aspect). Which leads me to my next complaint...

     

    Once again, Rick Warren.

     

    He denounces homosexuals. That's enough for me to dislike him. Anyone who is ignorant enough to believe that being gay can be "fixed" is on my societal "ignore list".

  3. So it's a frisbee full of beer? Am I missing something here - no offense but has anyone measured the volume - it looks like maybe 2 cans of beer worth in there. I'll have to give it a try next time I get bored or bring it to the next Rugby after game I attend and see how it goes down. Again, no offense, Ultimate Frisbee sounds cool & way more demanding than I could manage in my late 30s but the drinking looks a bit wimpy - what's with the guy in the lower right corner of the video - you don't stop for breaths of air man or to lick the foam off your lips - chug it down boyo!

     

    it's definitely about 4-5 beers. I've seen plenty of them. Surprising I know, but true. especially because you get that dome effect with the beer, where you think it's almost full but it's not.

  4. Well mind you that while I pride myself on eating every morsel of meat off 'dem bones, these aren't the meatiest wings around. (Although.....decent. Fatheads is the best I've had in Pittsburgh; this was at Buffalo Blues.) I actually ate 51 wings on my birthday back in September. So last night, somewhere between Wing 32 and Wing 37 I had ordered another half dozen while also recalling the trauma I had suffered during my 51-wing performance. So I decided to spare myself a little misery and smuggle them out for another day. It wasn't really that hard... they were served in a little cardboard basket, so I used the previous basket as a top for the one I smuggled out (you might be able to tell that I'm a Mechanical Engineer ;) ), and my housemate made sure they didn't spill while I drove home.

     

    And for the doubters, I have also been known to consume 1.0 pounds of pasta in a sitting, as well as a disc of beer (4.5 to 5 beers total) in 1:09. But the real reason for all the room in belly is that I drink a ton of water -- typically five quarts a day during the season. (I play ultimate frisbee... it's not too popular in WNY yet...) Curious... anyone else on here play ultimate?

     

    I go to RIT where ultimate is hugely popular along with disc golf. I've seen plenty of my housemates frisbee team friends pound discs of beers. That stuff is nuts. I don't partake. I sit by and drink my Murphy's and watch them all try and keep it down. If you go to UB, I know full well what your drinking team with a frisbee problem is capable of.

     

    I will admit, however, to having eaten a pound of pasta in a sitting, along with eating 25+ wings when I go out to bars for Sabres games. It's why I never get wings, because I eat too many and it gets expensive!

     

    I have also done the gallon challenge and not thrown up, but that was a long time ago. I'm not sure I could do it now without some training first.

  5. Or if you're from Rochester just brakes. Turn signals are optional.

     

    And as one of my co-workers informed me, she's from Jersey, "Just because the person in front of you stops at a stop sign doesn't mean you have to"

     

    This actually happened to me yesterday. I was at a 3 way stop and the guy behind me just followed me through the intersection, completely uncaring about the fact that he had to wait his turn. I was unaware that you could "hitch a ride" on the car in front of you.

  6. This road trip has me losing track of days.

     

    My complaint: I can't pee my name in the snow. :chris:

  7. And, as always, McJeff215 complaining about a great American, Sean Hannity.

     

    Oh, lest I forget, the Old Gray Lady...

     

    If you really want to catch Atlanta traffic without listening to the Hannitizer himself, why don't you listen to 93.3 or 104.7? Just throwing out options. Better yet, if you have an iPhone or Blackberry, look up traffic.com

     

    Where do you come up with these things?

  8. Couldn't tell ya why, but it puts much less stress on your legs. I would constantly get painful shin splints during training, and my doctor advised me to start running on roads. Ever since that, there's been no trouble. I believe that most books on running will tell you the same thing.

    Interesting read on the subject that I came across. I suppose it makes sense. It just has to be taken to the molecular level. I'm surprised that it is as big of a difference as their numbers claim. Very interesting.

  9. Well, for joggers, running on the sidewalk is a really bad idea. The concrete is hell on a person's ankles, shins, and knees so running on the street (safely) is always a better idea. For those who are walking, yeah use the sidewalk.

     

    how is running on concrete any different than asphalt?

  10. It snowed for like a half hour this morning and everyone #%^$#! their pants. I saw three cars in ditches within 3 miles of RIT. Does this have to happen EVERY DAMN TIME IT SNOWS.

     

    Reminds me of that commercial for teenage drivers. "With new SLOW DOWN, you don't have to [look like a damn idiot]!"

  11. ...and the above mentioned snowblowers! :doh:

     

    and then I go to Sears at 7am on Christmas Eve day after having been up the entire night, and the sales guy is trying to push the sears pump on me, which I don't want. Come on. I had all night to research what sump pump was going to replace the broken one. :censored: off and let me buy the one I'm carrying!

     

    NO. I DON'T WANT IT GIFT WRAPPED.
