  2. No, but a trade Mario for Skelton would be fabulous!
  3. So the guy does it and writes about it on his blog that he gets money from advertisers for. Hmmm Why not just end it, tip the Barista $100 and leave it at that? Why do you need to turn around and make money off of it?
  4. A 4 page thread for a #5 WR and a WR that was cut last year? Only on TwoBillsDrive
  5. Maybe I misunderstood the article, but: It's never enough. One can't just donate to a charity now. You have to donate more. When does it stop? A percentage of my income? Don't mean to sound like a dick, but no thanks. If/when I donate the money I earn, by working a job that I don't particularly care for, I'll donate it to a charity (or charities) of MY choosing. I won't say anything about it, and won't claim it on taxes.
  6. Yeah, too bad I didn't see that before I hit the reply button...
  7. Maybe a coach should've said, "We haven't had a winning season since 2004. We haven't been in the playoffs since 1999. You don't want to wear pads for 20 days, THEN WIN SOME F------ GAMES!"
  8. He's been around since 1980-81. I think he's the top grossing country music singer. He's popular. I'm not a big fan but I like a couple of his songs. I like more of the American folk, bluegrass music myself.
  9. Right on! Do you guys treat your water or just take it straight from tap?
  10. I do. I live about 15 miles from Dust Bowl brewery, and there are some really good restaurants nearby that have some good crafts on tap. There's something about making it yourself though. It's enticing, and making me thirsty. I thought about doing wine too, but I'm gonna master the beer first. It's pretty safe to say that there are a few more wineries in my area than breweries haha. I actually never thought about Goodwill, or Craigslist. I'll check them out for sure! My mom gave me 5 stainless steel stock pots to use for the cooking process, but the largest holds 5 gallons max. I need to get a 6.5-7.5 gallon stock pot so I can make a full 5 gallon batch.
  11. I don't consider OCMS country to begin with. More bluegrass/folk to me. I also prefer the OCMS over Rucker.
  12. Thanks BillsFanNC! Do you use the beersmith? Is it user friendly? When I get used to the new (to me) brewing methods then I intend to dabble in the all grain brewing.
  13. I'm a huge fan of Discovery's Shark Week, but this crap of the living Megalodon, and the shark they call "Submarine" straight up pissed me off. Kinda ruined Shark Week for me.
  14. How can you not believe a tale of a shark named Submarine?
  15. Last Christmas my in-laws got me a "Mr.Beer" home brew kit. To this day I've brewed 3 batches (3rd batch is in the 4th day of the fermentation process). It is the Surly Dog IPA recipe. My previous brews were a Doppleback, and the American Classic Light which came with the kit when I got it. Everything has turned out great. My friends loved the brews I've offered them so far. Two weeks ago I took a brewU101 course through my local home brew supply store (Barley and Wine, Modesto, CA.). I've decided that while I continue to brew the Mr.Beer brews I'm going to start doing my own home brews. One thing I've noticed is that a) it's expensive to get started, and b) there's a lot more TLC that goes into making your own home brews from scratch. When you all take notes on your home brews (if you do) do you use any tech aps on your phone or tablets, or websites? If so, which ones do you use? Or do you guys just use pen and paper to take your notes? Thanks!
  16. In the show it was never mentioned. In the book I think she escaped with Reek at Winterfell. IIRC, Mance and his two wildling women that were posing as the entertainment for Bolton's men were killing them. They approached Reek about escaping and helped him and "Arya" escape before being caught themselves.
  17. Do you have iTunes, or a form of program that will allow you to download music? If so, search: Carrie Underwood, Jason Aldean, Eric Church, Lady Antebellum, Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley, Kenny Chesney, Luke Bryan, Taylor Swift, Miranda Lambert, Little Big Town, The Band Perry, Florida Georgia Line, George Straight I have iTunes, and on it I can search for a specific genre (country) and find out what the most popular downloads are. That would give you a good idea of what to put on the CD. There may be a few artists I've missed in the above list but if you search for their songs you should be able to come up with more than a few CD's worth of songs between them to keep everyone entertained. I'm aware Pooj. I just didn't feel it was necessary to go into the whole story behind the song Wagon Wheel.
  18. Dierks Bentley (I've enjoyed all of his albums except I haven't been able to get into the new one yet) Jason Aldean (Night Train album) Eric Church (Chief album) Kip Moore (Hey Pretty Girl) Darius Rucker (Wagon Wheel). IMO the album sucks but the songs great. Also... Old Crow Medicine Show does a great version of the song Wagon Wheel too that I actually like better than Ruckers version.
  19. I've done more than enough to prove my point that you know absolutely nothing about what your talking about. Good luck with your witch hunt. I'm done here.
  20. One thing I forgot to mention. Some good will come out of this. As Joe_the_6_pack mentioned NASCAR formalized (not changed) its' rules because of this incident. The unfortunate thing with racing is usually safety measures are made because someone lost their lives ie. Hans device and safer barriers for Dale Earnhardt Sr, Kenny Irwin, Jr. and Adam Petty. The window net was mandated because someone spun into a wall with the drivers side of their car and hit their head on the wall, gas pedals modified because of Kenny Irwin's and Adam Pettys wrecks in which their throttles stuck going into a turn at New Hampshire. Pit road speeds were enforced because a member of Bill Elliot's crew (IIRC) was struck by a car on pit road while changing the tires on his car and killed.
  21. There was nothing in the rule books for both Canandaigua Raceway Park or the Empire Series Sprints rule books about exiting a vehicle like Ward did. Also, it wasn't a NASCAR sanctioned event so NASCAR rules wouldn't apply to anyone racing in that race (or that track, since it's not a NASCAR sanctioned track). No, I have no conclusions on it. You do however. You have based your conclusions on what others have speculated time and time again. Have you ever thought about Tony Stewarts Sprint Cup team (the 14 team)? Is it possible that maybe it was business as usual for the 14 team? You know, the crew wakes up, puts on their fire suits, readies the car for pre-race inspection, rolls it out to the grid once it has passed, and having to change the seat in the car to fit another driver because their driver was involved in a tragic accident that he may or may not face criminal charges for? Those guys had a crap load of work to do to ready that car to race. They all have important jobs to make sure that car runs well on race day. They all have jobs to do, and as crappy as it may seem, commitments to honor (from sponsors, and NASCAR, and the fans). Tony, for his part did the right thing and didn't race, but that doesn't mean his team has to sit the sidelines while he grieves. His crew wasn't even at Canandaigua when the tragedy occurred. Did you know that Tony owns three other cars on the Sprint Cup circuit that all carry his name on the car? Is it possible that the business as usual comment was made in regards to those teams too? Before Stewart-Haas became what it is today it was called Haas-CNC Racing. They were typically "start and park" cars meaning that often times they would simply start a race, then park the car early on. They weren't very competitive. The primary owner, Gene Haas, served two years in prison for tax fraud. Did those teams not show up to the race tracks? No, it was "business as usual" for them. Is it not possible that Tony Stewart was overcome with grief, and maybe didn't sleep the night after he killed a young kid that ranged in age from 17-20 years old depending on what media outlet said? WEO, you have based your opinions on what happened by listening to every one else give their opinions on what happened. From the he accelerated at the last minute which means that he was trying to "brush back" the kid to caving in to media backlash. You don't know anything. You don't know anything about racing, the lifestyle, the dangers, risks, or rewards of racing. Today, the VP of communications for Stewart-Haas Racing was asked if Stewart was essentially "forfeiting" his ability to make the Chase. His reply was that there were more important things to Stewart than the Chase for the Sprint Cup. That was this morning. Is he still caving in to the media? These are the facts, Kevin Ward Jr. died. Tony Stewart was driving the car that hit him. Anything else (until Tony Stewart opens up about it) is SPECULATION. One families lives have been forever altered, and one mans life forever changed, and another mans life lost.
