QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 7, 2005 -> 10:36 AM) It's my firm belief that beanbags was invented primarily as a way to curb the number of accidents attributed to drunk Southsiders playing horseshoes and jarts ("lawn darts")... Ya want stupid??? When I was a kid we used to split up into two groups. The two groups would stand on either side of my buddies house and throw the jarts over the top to see who could get closest to the circle that way!!!

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 10:55 AM) Yeah, I plan on just riding around the city, definatley with a helmet. I dont even think I will partake in any highway riding, but who knows. Speed doesnt scare me that much, but I guess we will find out. I AM planning on buying a crotch rocket though, just like them better IMO. Speed scares the hell out of me. This is why I rarely go above 70 on any road. My buddy drives a rocket, and he says that next time he will get a regular bike just for the comfort aspect. People on those things do always look uncomfortable to me, much like how I can't understand how one of those crazy loooooong front end choppers are supposed to be comfortable with those HUGE handle bars.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 10:49 AM) The phrase "you run around crying foul" can be construed as a personal attack & might be testing the guidlines as put forth by a mod. See, by continually saying this, and pointing these things out constantly in this thread is coming across to me as mocking the admins and rule-makers and could be seen as more offensive than anything else in this whole thread (aside from my original comment that has since been removed).

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 10:35 AM) I have been around bikes my whole life and every accident I have seen has not been the fault of the motorcyclist but of drivers around them doing stupid things. I don't know. I agree about most, but I have seen more than my fair share of crotch rocket guys doing REALLY stupid things. Things that would qualify them for Dawin Awards. I hate the crotch rocket guys with that mentality.

I am pretty sure that as of next year if prices keep going up, I will be using my bike. The problem for me is that the train takes me from Harvard, drops me in Crystal Lake, and then I have a 2-3 mile ride. Not bad, and easy to do. The problem is that right now the train will only be saving me about $40 a month. Now then, I checked that last about a month ago and prices for gas have gone up since then. But I did seriously look into scooters. Problem with them is that few of them (the compact types) don't go over 20 MPH. They also cost a decent amount. Then add into it that we live in the midwest, and in a few months time riding in the elements doesn't really sound like a whole buncha fun. But I agree with you that it is time to find alternatives to driving a car. I might go find me a kiosk and a homeless person.

Do scooters count? I don't own or ride one, but just seeing what exactly we are talking about.

Nuke voices his opinions??? When???

I had a "Sweet and Salty Nut Granola Bar" from Nature Valley this morning for breakfast. First one. These things are a gift from the Gods!!!

Well, seeing as how I am done and have said all I have to say, I am not worried about the reprecussion's from what I wrote, and I will not change them unless asked to do so by the admins and mods. But I am willing to take my wrist slap if need be.

Wow, you miss the point completely. Nobody gets married with the plans of getting divorced. People get married because they are in love and it is a way of sharing that love and to almost everybody that gets married, it is a monumental day and something that makes people VERY happy. I myself hold my marriage VERY sacred and it is the cause for much happiness in my life. I would never even think for one second to stand in the way of letting somebody else share in that enjoyment. You get one chance for living in this world and to stop somebody else from such a simple pleasure is ridiculous. I've seen your arguments before on this site and I know that nothing I say here can change your views. I just find it sad that one human being could stand in the way of another human being on a topic that really effects you in no way shape or form. If a gay couple got married across town from you, I am sure there would be hundreds of people at that ceremony having a great time for that day, and two of them possibly for the rest of their lives. Would you know about it? No. Would it effect you? No. So why stand in their way. Think of somebody else, not yourself. It's simple. It's called compassion.

I fixed it so it wouldn't hurt the feelings of the people who don't believe everybody should be happy.

Eeesh, somebody needs to get him a good script before he decides to go onto the White House. I guess I just REALLY don't get why people oppose it. I just really don't get it. My life will NOT change if a same sex marriage happens. My life will be effected in no way shape or form, and I probably will be oblivious to 99.99999% of the gay marriages that happen. This just baffles me soooo damn much. Why? Why is it an issue for non-gay people? Two people get to be happy, what is the big f***ing deal???

...so!!!

...hope...

I...

Do you get gifts if you make it to 10,000 posts???

QUOTE(SnB @ Sep 7, 2005 -> 12:10 PM) It's like high school all over again. Not really, people seem to like me a bit here and I haven't had to almost get in fights every-damn-day for the way I look. Plus, I actually kind of like this place.

Have any of you Mods ever banned a person "just for fun"? Like just messing with Tex or Steff, just banned them for like an hour? Since you have the ultimate way of "getting their goat" I would think the temptation would be there just for kicks.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 7, 2005 -> 10:47 AM) Did you just wet yourself again? No, I'm pretty sure it is the drool running down my shoulder from your resting your head there.

Hell, all anybody does is whine when they call me, so that is fine. You get to be one of the fortunate 4 though due to your having never called me (other than for the game that day), so don't pat your back too hard.

I started on the MLB Sox board, and then moved here. I have never even seen any of the "other" boards out there, and if you got banned for that, then I am glad to stay right here where I feel safe and warm. Welcome on board!

See, it's funny. You all are wondering why people don't call you? I am trying to figure out why people are wasting my time by calling me. My phone rings and 95% of the time I just look at it and wonder why somebody might be calling me. I have about 4 friends, and that is just about right. I 'm one of those wacky people that prefers to go to the movies by myself and NOT have people around. My family doesn't count, but even before them that was how I was. I like to come and go as I please, not be hasseled with somebody else wanting to eat here or there and wanting to go into this or that store. I'm like Lenny...a Lone Wolf. ***Critic this doesn't count you and your impending call. You get to land in the category of folks that I do like to spend time around. Lucky you.

I've heard the lack of work is due to his being a complete ass to work with.

Wow...just...wow...what a shame.
