Fixed.

!@#$ with the bull, you get the horns.

When the Egyptian military is more liberal than you are, you know you have a problem.

When I was younger & dumber -- 155+ mph on a GSXR. Nowadays I very rarely go ton up. But I hit 85-90 a couple times a week. At speeds > 150mph, when you slow down to 80, it feels like you could just hop off and walk.

Some malpractice cases are harder than others.

Not up to 10 years yet, but I had it done about 6 years ago and couldn't be happier. I do use reading glasses for up-close work now, but that was going to happen sooner rather than later anyhow, and the trade-off for me was totally worth it. (I had really bad myopia before, now I'm 20/20 or better in both eyes.) It's definitely not for everyone, and if you do decide to pursue it I strongly recommend that you extensively research prospective surgeons before going ahead. I found a great guy, and everyone who I've referred to him, including my wife, has been very happy with their results.

A cord is a lot of wood. I rented a house once with a couple of friends in the Sierra Nevada (not far from Tahoe), whose only source of heat was an ancient wood-burning stove. We went the whole winter on about 1/4 cord, IIRC. (Might have been 1/2) It wasn't a huge house, though.

That is a horrible article. It got basically every single technical point wrong.

Naw, you just got to get your hips moving and really put your foot into it. You get the hang of it after the first couple of tries.

It is true that verified mountain lion attacks on humans are rare. I remember 7+ yrs ago a mountain biker was eaten by a lion down in Whiting Ranch Park, in the O.C. And in the '90's another mountain biker was attacked on Mt. Lowe, which is quite close to my place (I can see it from my window). There have been a few sightings around the surrounding towns, these past few summers.

"We can buff that right out."

Let's see what a $100M in cosmetic surgery can do, and I'll get back to you on that...

This squad could be in for a bushwhacking.

I actually wasn't too concerned once I heard it was a small black bear. It's the mountain lions that worry me. Now those are some pretty sneaky predators.

My kids' elementary school was on lockdown a couple weeks ago due to a bear that wandered down out of the mountains and was nosing around the neighborhood. It passed by about a block from my house, and was eventually tranked, tagged & trucked. Kids were cool with it, but as a parent you get a nasty chill when you're at work and get an automated phone call that starts off with "(Your child's) elementary school is currently under lockdown....."

I like Sarah Silverman, but I must admit that I find the thought of her masturbating to "The Holocaust: Faces of Genocide" a little... disturbing.

^ This is 100% correct.

Bonine (Meclizine) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dramamine. IMHO, of course.

I think he'd already retired by then.

Because Russians make awesome YouTube videos? Wow. I had no idea.

Editted to add Part 1 of this mini-movie: Whoops, apparently there was a "Part 1" of this video mini-movie: www.ropeofsilicon.com/bad-mother!@#$er-biting-elbows-first-person-music-video/ (Apologies if already posted, I did a search but didn't see it.) www.awsm.com/13883/now-this-is-how-you-use-a-go-pro/

Better at what? ('Cause I know you can't mean at football...)

When chicks tell me how much they love Mike Hawke, I just say "Neil Antblo, baby!"

The smell of ripe Durian fruit is overpowering in Singapore, due to the heat. Public buses there actually display little red circle+bar icons over durian fruit. No ****.
