Is that the group that's kind of like muff brothers and pink mafia sisters and rodriguez brothers and skydogs and all the other non-skill based skydiving fraternities, except they charge membership fee? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Well it would be stupid for me to be the small spoon. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

So that's my problem...that fucker didn't give me any! Who's running around with my talents?! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I don't know enough about him to go that far, but if the above are an accurate depiction of his attitude, he'd absolutely get my consideration. I try to explain to people that I'm really so far right that they just think of me as left, but nobody gets it. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

What he said. The Cobalt is by all accounts a piece of shit, and while the Audi is better made, repairs aren't that far ahead and won't be particularly cheap. For the same $12,000, you could get a late model Civic or Corolla, with drivetrain factory warranty remaining on the latter. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I like how you still picked up the grip to take him with you. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

In my opinion, the fact that you have a male Yorkie and a female Yorkie would not be sufficient reason to breed, regardless of how often their lines intersect. I get the impression this means your male is still intact too? Personally, I think people should consider the costs of shots and "alteration" as just a second payment on the purchase price. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

If I remember correctly, spaying before the first estrus *dramatically* reduces the chances of mammary, uterine, and ovarian cancer...like 50 times (not percent). Even with expensive dogs, I'm a fan of spay/neuter as soon as practicable. Leave the breeding to the professionals. You should not be trying to "recoup your investment" in the dog, and there's no moral duty to let a bitch experience motherhood...quite the contrary in my opinion. As for adoption versus purchase. I'm not opposed to adoption, but have gone for purebreds with my last two dogs and will with my next as well. I want a dog with specific traits and am willing to handle some trade-offs better than others. I do not want a dog with a high prey drive. I do not want a dog that's excessively vocal. I do want a dog that's somewhat protective, but not overly so. I do want a dog that plays well with children and other animals. Tractability is nice, but I'll take a little obstinance if it comes with intelligence...I'm stubborn too, and assertive, and exceedingly patient. I don't care whether a dog has good tracking ability. I'm not a fan of long hair. I don't want a digger. Strays are simply not predictable enough with this kind of list. I'd rather buy a dog with a healthy heritage and strong conformance from an established, reputable breeder, and then get it fixed. If everyone else would do this (and not let their dogs roam the neighborhood), the stray problem would take care of itself. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I'm taking a week of vacation from my "real" job to be there, plus it'll be my only weekend off in 6 months. If I can make it, you can make it. You owe Karen that much (and me a dessert, dammit!) Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Does she even exist? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Dude, you were supposed to photoshop or otherwise alter it. Edit: Dammit, SBS beat me to it. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Eloy is the only place I've ever heard of that comes even close to Perris, but Eloy occasionally goes through some wierd transitional phase where it becomes TOO HOT for dust devils. Dude, that's messed up. Eastern Washington gets some very tall dust devils, but that one appeared to go from zero to violent very quickly. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

So... should I be adding you to the list? Sounded like a yes to me. I mean, we all know Karen deserves something nice one in awhile for putting up with him. LP is very nice.

Anyone think there's the slightest chance of us guilting Remtard into bringing his wife to the boogie? Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Now THAT'S a dustdevil! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Thats not what you said friday night... I have a bullet-proof alibi for Friday night, and was certainly not involved in the making of "Remi Does the Arizona Cardinals". Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

I keep trying to explain the details to folks, but it's more socially acceptable to taunt the case. The initial lawsuit was simply for medical bills. The coffee was intentionally made absurdly hot so that nobody would stick around long enough to take advantage of the free refills. It continued to be made this hot despite hundreds of other burn claims and settlements. This woman wasn't driving, she was the passenger, and the car was parked at the time of the incident. The coffee was so hot that she spent 8 days in the hospital and had to have several surgeries. How much is genital reconstruction worth to you? If I remember correctly, the final settlement was reduced substantially...to somewhere in the half-million dollar range. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

She said it was ok. Actually, yes she did...but I'm not feeling like a team player today, so I'm gonna keep them to myself. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

(pssstt...John...it's a cartoon. Realism tends to go out the window with such endeavors. Pass it on. ) Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Stop it...you're gonna get Sunny all riled up on that ass-to-mouth thing again. It's been long enough for me to forget which of them she had pitching and which catching, and I rather it stay that way. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

Not without her permission I won't! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

God help us. Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)

That is a SoCal thing and I HATE it!!! I honestly don't get it. What is the issue? You could just take 405 to I-5 on your way to work, rather than "the 405 to the 5". Doesn't really matter to me though. What bugs me more in California is the naming of all the damned freeways. Numbers work just fine for the rest of us! Looking for an exit to, say, I-182, and seeing "Ponderosa Freeway - 2 miles" just fucking sucks! Blues, Dave "I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!" (drink Mountain Dew)
