    Missing skymama?

    IIRC, she's on vacation overseas... Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  2. Dirty canuck! And excellent choice for a first bike! Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  3. Como se huh? Recommending an R6 as a first bike is like handing someone with 100 jumps a sub-100 crossbraced canopy. To the original poster. at 5'7", you may have no choice but to tippy-toe on some sport bikes, but cruisers should be fine. Suzuki sport bikes are pretty tall, but you can get cut-down seats for them which will help. And, like eener stated, you can have a bike lowered, but it may throw off the cg enough to make it handle a bit squirrelly. If you're interested in sport bikes, all the major mfg's make some really nice entry-level bikes in the 500-650cc range for first riders. Stay away from the R6's, GSX-R's, ZX-R's until you really get some experience and several thousand miles under your butt. Definitely buy used and definitely take an MSF course.
  4. Dude, you must think that God doesn't have a sense of humor. I have news for you, she does. If you doubt that statement, I kindly invite you to explain the existence of the noble Platypus. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  5. Fly free, JP. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  6. Meow. I'll fly video! Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  7. The original black & white version of D.O.A. Great story, great film. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  8. Interesting reading... I don't think it'll be passed by the house though. Resolution To Impeach VP Cheney Submitted Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  9. I used to own a 2000 Hyundai Tiburon. One of the most reliable, bullet-proof cars I've ever owned. Congrats!

    I've actually seen one in person. It works great, when you're at a complete stop. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

    Car stereo

    Heh, between skydiving and car audio, I have way too many expensive hobbies. I just hooked up my wife's jeep with an Alpine deck, XM, and Polk components. I'm going to give her my sub and amp when I upgrade to a new 12" sub that I'm going to be running about 1600 watts to. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

    I don't mean to hide, really! Personally, I'm a big fan of Pioneer, Alpine, and Kenwood. The build quality has gone down in the past years on Sony & JVC, and they haven't really impressed me in a few years. It's really going to depend on what features you're looking for, or might want to add in the future (i.e. iPod control XM / Sirius radio, MP3 playback), your budget, and your car. I know of several reputable non-mainstream online sites where to buy good equipment at great prices. Tell you what, I'll drop you a PM with my cell and we'll catch up and see if I can get you hooked up.
  13. Nice sub! After Dagny and I move this summer to a house, I'm going to pick up the 15" version of the below-linked bad boy, a 500 watt plate amp, and put it in a 4 cubic foot enclosure, tuned to 20Hz. TC-3000 Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  14. Would they even be allowed to serve? Besides the fact that they'd need a secret service detail with them wherever they go, they'd be two of the hottest targets around for the enemy to get their hands on. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  15. Phree & Daizey just crashed at Casa de Kris & Dagny a few weekends back. I recommend Flyangel2's place in Colorado though. Great view, and she'll even cook you dinner on her birthday! Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  16. Como se huh? The Zune maxes out at 30GB. The video iPod comes in 60GB & 80GB flavors for just $40 & $100 more. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  17. I'm shocked. How can this list have gone to 30+ replies with no mention of Tom Morello??? I think his technical skills are simply incredible, especially the tricks he pulls with his dual pickups. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  18. I tried to get a rectangular bear for months. Turns out that I had to get a polar bear and use trig... Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  19. Not as easily as the one car that was chasing Olav and hit him in freefall. D'oh! Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  20. *drool* Now I'm craving a really nice vindaloo or some tikka masala. Grr. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

    Drunk Dial Forum

    Whine, whine, whine! If someone was removed from the list, it was because they did not respond to the post I put up about cleaning up the list. If you didn't respond, then I assumed that you were one of the people who had dropped off the face of the earth and I removed you. I've done it twice now, and every time, it never fails, there's always 6-10 PM's in my box within a week from people wondering why they no longer had access. Reading is fundamental, people!

  22. Jack Bauer. Hands down. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  23. My Dell laptop rocks the hizzouse. I had a small problem with the onboard sound. I used their online webchat support and 5 mins later I had a service confirmation # and the guy was out the next day to replace the board. Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
  24. Como se huh?! The Wii is fantastically priced considering the competition, what it does, and what it comes with. *shakes head in amazement* Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™

    Flight Sim X

    I use the 2 year old version of this model. I've had great success with Saitek. http://www.saitekusa.com/usa/prod/x52.htm Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™
