  1. On the bright side, if he gets one more foul ball, he'll finally have a pair.
  2. So much more than that, Chris. So much more than football. The reason some of us have held up football players as heroes is because some of them are in real life.
  3. I love that everyone is giving this guy a hard time about being armed at the LA Coliseum twenty years ago. News Flash - there were probably, oh, maybe ONE or TWO gang-affiliated Raiders fans at that game who were carrying. LA is not a quiet midwestern town. It's Tommy Lee Jones. He caught the one-armed man. Cut him some slack.
  4. The movie actually isn't any good. Nor did it do well at the box office. They just put those ideas in your heads while you were sleeping.
  5. The earth's climate changes. If you want to convince me Man has any effect on this, IMHO you're not smart, or you're lying. Sorry to be blunt about it, but I don't have much patience for either.
  6. Sounds like a riptide. Waves come in to the beach, water recedes back into the sea. But sometimes it channels together, and it's force is not one you will escape by swimming against it toward the beach. Very quickly you will find yourself far from the beach and getting further out at an alarming rate. You have to swim parallel to the beach to escape the riptide, then you will be able to return to the beach. Beaches are nice. Oceans can be scary.
  7. Not all of us. Former USAF Korean language Cryptologic Linguist Technician, served over 10 years there. Several hundred friends from the same background. Lots of Korean wives and half-Korean kids amongst our group. Also happen to have a good friend/neighbor who was USMC, fought his way out from the Chosin Reservoir as a young man. It's the forgotten war, but not by us.
  8. Quoted from the original link: Between 2002 and 2006 more jaywalkers were hit by vehicles on Rainier Avenue South than in any other corridor in the city. During that period, 61 pedestrians were struck while jaywalking on Rainier Avenue South -- nearly double the number of accidents on Aurora Avenue North, which had the second highest number of jaywalkers hit with 35, according to Seattle Transportation Department records. Also during that period, 23 other jaywalkers were hit in the South End, on Martin Luther King Jr. Way South and on Beacon Avenue South. Those roads also accounted for 126 pedestrian accidents at intersections. There were six jaywalking accidents on Aurora Avenue North in the several blocks south of North 125th Street between 2002 and 2006, tying that short stretch of roadway with Rainier Avenue South between South Hudson Street and 39th Avenue South for the highest number of jaywalking collisions in the city.
  9. I used to ride once in a while with this guy Jim. He was new to bikes, had the same model metric as I do, so taught him basic maintenance, how to change the oil, etc. Not real bright, but seemingly a nice guy. Nice wife, two kids. Jim stopped coming around after a while. Saw him later with his new bike, an HD that had been made into a rat bike. Didn't see Jim again for a long time. Until one morning last fall on the news. Jim apparently was now a prospect for the Warlocks. Some dude started some crap in a bar that he and the Warlocks were in, the Warlocks chased the dude out. Dude knocks over one of the Warlock's bikes (not Jim's) on purpose with his truck on the way out of the lot. Jim gets the plaza/lot security guard to give him a ride in his truck to give chase. They catch up to him in a gas station, Jim shoots the dude in the back of the head, killing him. I don't know any more about it, and I'm not going to speculate. But I have no friggin' use for 1%ers. None. http://www.wesh.com/news/20935067/detail.html
  10. Damn straight. And to the death-penalty opponents, I can only argue that some people needs killin'. I'm not interested in any cost arguments. This is not about cost. She kidnapped, raped/tortured, then killed a little girl. Put her the F down. Whatever suffering she may endure being incarcerated for whatever period of time it turns out to be is not a proper result for her actions.
  11. You need a wayback machine. This is not going to have all pages, so you may not find it here. But if you put twobillsdrive into the search, you will find quite a few pages saved throughout the years. If you look around the same timeframe as when you posted, you might find it. Wayback machine
  12. Motorcycle Cop: [Mike and Steve are borrowing their friend's souped up police cruiser. However, a harsh bump in the road broke the seal on the nitrous system and nitrous oxide has been leaking in to the car. They've just been pulled over] Tell me, officer, do you have any idea how fast you were going? Mike: Well, I got a 426 hemi here, 3/4 cams, nitro boosters, I can get 'er up to as good as 155! Never do, though, of course, unless I'm chasing a cute chick in a Ferrari! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I guess I was goin' about... 65, tops. Motorcycle Cop: SEVEN! SEVEN miles an hour! And normally, when I stop people, they pull onto the *shoulder*!
  13. A 32 yr old and an 18 year old? One or both of them is a retard. Next question.
  14. "the incident happened by the surf near Queen Street" - well, duh.
  15. Yes, by all means, get lawyered up, you jackass. Because you're clearly the victim here. I can only hope he kills himself on that bike before his driving results in injury or death to others.
  16. Nothing about physics is basic to me. But yes, they should be able to calculate his speed with a very reasonable amount of certainty. Whatever it was, it was too damn fast to be riding past entrances to the road he was on. I don't believe for a minute you get launched 100ft from your bike doing 35mph. Not when there is likely contact with the bike and/or car in the process, slowing you down further. My motorcycle is my daily commuter. And I not only expect everyone else to do the stupidest thing possible, I am constantly calculating my escape scenarios for when they do. If you don't do this when you ride, start. And if you don't know how, please google and find resources to explain it. Always sad to hear someone got in an accident - both sides could have taken steps to prevent it.
  17. Everyone who posted in this thread should be arrested. In fact, I want a user list of all TBD members. You're all under arrest. Association with known thread posters.
  18. I feel like I've had the blues for goin' on ten years. But I've been a fan of the blues a little longer than that. Younger SRV fans, take a listen to some Johnny Winter, it might be a sound you like too.
  19. When I hear this song, other than Dylan, I always think of George Doran playing it.
  20. RIP friend. I don't spend as much time on here since you left.
  21. I'm not a religious man, but I think you misunderstand Buddhism.
  22. Dummy? Lemming? Cattle call? Really? I'm sorry, was I gushing over anyone's analysis? Have I been posting about how great this draft is? All I suggested was revealing your draft boards, and let's compare them. Oh, you're not a draft analyst? So, Chavous has a lot more experience and knowledge on the subject than you do? Ok, thanks for the info.
