    F-you h1n1

    Maybe being unemployeed isn't so bad after all?
  2. Unlike most my family I've never made it over to Germany, but I have been to some darn authentic Octoberfest parties in the Catskills of NY where the stout goes down smooth and after five or six 1l steins the ground comes up fast!
  3. Their called steins. And yes, I've met some very hot and very not hot German women. My cousin married one and I'm not saying which she is.
  4. Well, I'll stand by my "no" vote and we'll roll the dice and see where the $$$ goes. I am glad right now that the rep is disabled because otherwise I'd look like the dress uniform of a Soviet General with thousands of red stars!
  5. No story needed the bumper of my truck still bears the damage of a 16ft flat bed that had a tractor on it with the hitch unconnected. Dogh!
  6. Well, I've hauled bikes on trailers and loads of liquid fertilizer weighing 26,000lbs through farm fields, small towns and on highways. Rule #1 is just like a motorcycle, expect the idiot at the intersection to pull right out in front of you because he "didn't see you". Rule #2 add extra distance for stopping and turning. Rule #3 Don't speed, #4 let people wanting to go faster around you if possible, #5 plan a route that keeps you out on congested areas or unfamiliar roads where bad things can happen. Last, do a pretrip inspection before moving the vehicle each time. Walk around the vehicle while sitting at the pump and check out the tire, lights, hitch, tie downs, engine, anything you can think of. Better to find it on the lot than on the road.
  7. What happens if the casinos fail? Does the government step in and bail them out on our $$$ so they don't look like losers for backing them in the first place? I find it very telling that the FOP backs the casinos since that is job security for them. Casinos would need to hire off duty police to patrol and guard the casinos from trouble, no?
  8. I wish I could find the e-mail a friend sent me about the greatest idea for a cruisliner vacation. It went something like leave South Africa on a beautiful cruise line armed with ever automatic weapon available to cruise up and down the Somolian coast hunting pirates. At night we'll light the boat up like a christmas tree and sit just inside international waters playing party music to draw them out. Once in range it's a free for all to shoot at will and kill as many as possible. The actual e-mail was much funnier but you get the idea.
  9. Who is guaranteeing this? I have not seen any guarentees. If someone is guarenteeing this let them step forward now so they can be praised if it works or strung up like a convict if it fails. Remember this is Ohio. We love the Buckeyes but God help them if they lose to Michigan because we'll set campus on fire!
  10. I'll vote No, it appears to me that the State of Ohio is a failure in many ways when it comes to use of tax revenue from the already existing lottery. Million of dollars ment for schools are wasted on a bureaucracy that is wastefull and self perpetuating. Aside from that I have little faith in the ability of casinos in Ohio to create half the permanent jobs they predict and will more likely result in far more government involvement and money. In effect I see the result being far from the wonderfull money maker our politicians envision. The Indianapolis Star Addicted to gambling revenue Indiana isn't the only state suddenly losing its bet on pumping up revenue through gambling. The 12 states that push casinos on their residents and visitors suffered an 8.5 percent drop in revenue from those operations from 2008 to this year, according to a study by the Rockefeller Institute. Statehouse powerbrokers for years viewed gambling as a painless way to generate more tax revenue. But with the market saturated and revenue evaporating, the shortsightedness of that position has been painfully exposed.
  11. Lots of us have deep German heritage and yet still view the nazi proliferation as a german institute due to the refrences made to Nazi Germany in refrence to WW2.
  12. You have small rep, but carry a big stick.
  13. Is Harley Ford an synonym for V-rod?
  14. First thing you need to do is look into getting a new rear tire. Those bikes eat tires, or at least mine did. Looks good, be safe and enjoy.
  15. Followed by her next best seller: Kind Things Casper says about Kawi Kid By cbrgirl
  16. My happy memories of dealing with Rep by Casper
  17. I'm oddly relieved to know I'm not on that list.
  18. Well I was at IP today, Nick wasn't. But IP Jr was able to help me out. I wanted this type of helmet for a while because of the ability to use either the face shield or goggles. When not in use the goggles can be wraped around the back, out of the way but still in easy access. Thanks for the help and good chatting with you IP Jr.
  19. I saw the stars were gone and thought there would be twenty threads about how the world had ended.
  20. Well, if you'r gonna talk win and make money not an issue, get a WR 450 and save yourself the Honda Hassel
