  1. Yeah, but I wouldn't want to do it all day long. Also, I popped the brakes and did a control check first and foremost. Long spots and traffic rarely seemed to be a problem when doing tandems.
  2. Reminds me of the time I ate Freebirds at 4am. The next day I could just feel it.
  3. I find this religion particularly interesting in that it is not very old and its origins are well documented. It is facinating to me that people can be armed with all this knowledge and still be compelled to be followers. The book I read is called "Porter Rockwell - The Black Saint of Mormondom". I recommend it for all people of christian faiths because it is objectively written (by a mormon) and it is a great book about settling the west as well.
  4. Years ago while on a business trip to American Fork, Utah I picked up a book about Porter Rockwell and the history of the Mormon religion. I'm just curious if the religion teaches about this man in particular and its history in general.
  5. And I thought I was the only one that viewed it all as the "socially acceptable adult version of the invisible friend".
  6. Oh! Oh! Canadian Fight! Canadian Fight! Not sure why I find that so amusing, but I feel as if I should be swilling beer and banging on some plexiglass.
  7. Yeah. There is some rule of thumb about arguing and people won't be able to tell you apart...... I'm done. Good day to all.
  8. Again, that is context. Without it, people will feel the need to create one, such as: what a racist piece of troll crap. In this case they would be wrong, but they didn't know that until you gave it context.
  9. That is context. Now you have something to talk about. If you would have included that in the original post, it would have stopped a page worth of posts from people wondering what the purpose of the original post was.
  10. If your definition of a "troll" is anyone who starts a conversation on a controversial topic, then I think this place would be pretty dull if it wasn't for your so-called "trolls". Dropping that text onto the forums with no context is not indicitive of starting a conversation on a controversial topic, its trolling. If you provide a context, then there is something to debate. If not, you're just stirring the pot to see what floats to the top. ......as if that's unusual.
  11. trollin, trollin, trollin. keep those greenies goin, trollhide.

    .....and getting worse. Hopefully his actions are leading him to be caught very soon. http://www.9news.com/storyfull.aspx?storyid=24502

    This sucks

    I hope they catch the person who did this so he/she/they can be duct taped and burned slowly. http://www.9news.com/storyfull.aspx?storyid=24466
  14. As a San Diego transplant in Colorado, I can definitively say that Colorado drivers are the worst I have ever seen - anywhere in the US, Canada, Mexico and Japan. Seriously, do you not learn that its generally a bad idea to merge onto the highway at 30 mph? The skinny pedal on the right makes the car go faster. Is there something in drivers ed that teaches you to habitually run red lights? Especially when making a left turn across 4 lanes of traffic? Why does everyone drive 55 here regardless of the speed limit or conditions? You are in my way when the conditions are good and in the ditch when the conditions are bad. I will grant you that whoever is in charge of Civil Engineering here should suffer a slow, painful and public death, and that only adds to the fact that the people in Colorado are the worst drivers on the planet. MAN - that felt good.
  15. I have the same setup as well. Personally, I think it looks a bit silly. I did it to give my sidemount camera a little more room. Worked great. One cutaway with the smaller risers - didn't seem any different than the larger risers.
  16. I vote to leave Keith up at least a little longer. I miss him. CPA (not trying to hijack the thread)
  17. In the early days of the cypress this may have been very valid, but in the last couple of years I don't think that rule really had much to do with it.
  18. No shit. I officially can not wait to get back there.

    I'm done

    Totally feeling you. Be well.
  20. If you must put it on a leg strap, don't put it on your right side. The motion of reaching and deploying can dislodge the hook knife with bad results. I have personally witnessed a friend deploy his hook knife into the lines of his main. It cut two of them. The reserve ride was uneventful but the video was pretty cool in frame by frame.
  21. charlie brown tree of the year. what do i win?
  22. Right. Who is this guy and why was he being considered for a court martial.
  23. Could you elaborate for the uninformed or toss up a link?
