you're made out of butter? I have a giant toasted bagel I'd like to introduce you to...

That's really how any non-denom church's income happens: donations. I heard that they received a ton more than the original statue cost in a donation drive after it burned down. I wonder just how much of that is going to the community to help out the poor and needy, vs. going to a monument that does nothing but scream LOOK AT HOW RICH AND TACKY WE ARE!

And since we're talking about impossible-to-prove wagers, I'd bet that the church has given less to charity and helping their community than they have on maintaining their campus and rebuilding that statue.

Sounds like I missed a good one.

Limpy LaRue?

you don't want to know half the places I've been...

Good to finally see it in one piece. Can't wait to have you lead us out for QSL.

and Odin did grin, and the people feasted upon the lambs, and sloths, and orangutans, and carp, and breakfast cereals... In all seriousness, it absolutely amazes me the things religiously "enlightened" people will do in the name of their deity. Apparently this thing originally cost 500K. 500K will not only feed the hungry, but it'll build one hell of a soup kitchen. No, these WASPs have to build another huge statue of Jesus in front of I-75. Fuck helping people, we prefer to just stroke our own egos.

You mean this guy? Mr. I don't recall because I was up all night destroying evidence, but it's cool since I'm going to get off anyway? Yeah, I'm pretty sure I don't care what this douchenozzle has to say.

Interesting point, haven't heard that brought up before. Can you elaborate a little bit more? I'm not familiar with track stuff yet, so I don't have a lot to work with.

Good to know Brian's got some help. I'd be all over it if I wasn't on the other side of the country right now.

After the delamination bullshits that were well documented on here, I'll be staying away from Carbone Lorraine's.

Organics if memory serves.

Pauly, thanks for teeing this up so well. I'll chomp right on this. First: Yes, it could be construed that people who cross the border illegally to commit crimes inside of the US (besides the crime they are already committing by the illegal crossing) are invading. However, in order to label and subsequently try them as a enemy combatant, I believe (opinion ahead) that you have to prove they are intending to cross as an invasion force. Kinda the whole habeas thing that Bush and Obama want to kick aside. So, what do you do while this guy is waiting for due process to determine his crime and combatant state? You throw him in jail. No big deal. However, the Constitution grants for EVERYONE (and habeas has been around since the 1500's) the right of innocent until proven guilty. Which means, the state has a legal and ethical requirement to ensure this guy is secure and his most basic needs are being met (3 hots and a cot should cover that) while he is in their custody. This also covers putting the guy in a environment where physical harm can come to him, not to mention looking the other way when you're pretty sure that harm is imminent.

Don't know about that, but I've heard some good things on the Vesrah's from some of the racers on here. My point is if it's good enough for the track, it's good enough for me to putt around in (with notable exceptions, like tires).

Noted. You can include beech nuts but you can't include the Flying Spaghetti Monster? All-Powerful Atheismo frowns on your shenanigans. You will be receiving Odin's punishment shortly.

No worries Ebon. It starts whenever brake pressure is applied at speed, it's like a dull whine that tapers off just before full stop or gets louder the more pressure is applied.

His point (and mine) is that Creator is a metaphor for whatever. If you choose to interpret it as God, that's fine. There's a mountain of evidence that proves this is a secular nation, despite what the fundies, Christian Coalition, Focus on the Family, Pat Robertson, Glenn Beck, or zombie Jerry Falwell (just to name a few) would have you believe.

Season and change, put about 1500 miles on them thus far. I kinda screwed up a little and replaced the front rotors without putting on new pads (the pads only had about 200 miles on them), so that might be factoring into my noise issue somewhat.

owned.

I demand pics.

Can you hammer a six-inch spike through a board with your penis?

I've got them on mine now. They aren't bad for stopping power and distance, but I'm told they are considerably louder than other pads. I'm going to try a set of Vesrah's when these are all done.

The hipsters == PBR connection started in Portland, OR. This should explain a bit better: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pabst_Blue_Ribbon#Marketing_and_revival Personally, the PBR in China thing is goddamned brilliant. The normal Chinese person's grasp and understanding of Western culture is rudimentary at best because of the govt censorship, this marketing plays right into that.
