Nope, it's an '85 650. She just stepped up to that after her '81 GN400.

Nope-- but this might.

The story's just that awesome. That one pic would totally be the cover of my next blackmetal project, if the church had caught too. Makes me think of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZGa40Hl4zI

You can type whatever you want in the quote brackets. I was summarizing the .gif you posted, but I'll change it if you think it makes you look bad. No biggie.

That was awesome. But so is this:

Seriously nice work, man. My mom just bought an '85 a few weeks ago, and they really are pretty cool bikes once they're running right. (I'm just gonna go pick this up from her house, and park it by your place with a 12-pack next to it.)

Most of the old gods wouldve left the porn shop alone, anyway. I'm gonna say it was zeus trying to pick on the new kid-- shit gets outta hand sometimes, is all.

Yep. This is me, makin mah delivurries!

Ah, apparently I missed it. Oh well

...and burned to the fucking ground. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/06/15/king-of-kings-ohio-jesus_n_612360.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUZ3d1tTbWg I always thought that statue was pretty much offensive whether you were religious or not, so it was kinda awesome.

Welcome. Dual sports are neat stuff.

I consider most of these to be relatively ok positions. I don't support any legislative 'backdoor' attempts to turn fetuses into legal people. The pledge of allegiance had 'under god' added to it under heavy lobbying by well-connected religious fundamentalists, including the knights of columbus. I oppose drug testing in all but a few professions. Ooooooooh, food and medicine to Africa-- we can afford it, compared to what we spend on other things. These 'free trade' agreements always seem to end up screwing American workers and exploiting 3rd-world ones. I support single-payer healthcare, so not having cash in hand shouldn't deny someone medical treatment. Having seen what medical malpractice can do to people and their families, I think $250,000 could be a bit low. Doesn't mean reform isn't needed, but that's not the right move. There have been plenty of bloated, poorly-run unions, but they still beat some of the alternatives. I oppose cutting too many taxes right now, particularly for the rich. We have a lot to pay for (including two very expensive military operations). There hasn't been a candidate in my (admittedly short) voting lifetime that I agreed with on more than 50-60% of issues, so I have to kind of weigh each issue and try to prioritize.

So you're saying that Strickland's generally gun-friendly positions aren't good?

If you really decide your vote based solely on party (or will abstain rather than vote for a member of the opposing party), then I think your priorities are a bit skewed. Personally, I'd vote for a candidate from the Baby-Eating Alien Party if his ideas or qualifications were better than the others.

On Kasich, from the Oracle of Wiki: Ugh. As much as I loathe voting for anyone who actually attended a seminary, Strickland hasn't been that bad on most things. Do you know how worthless a Republican has to be to get the NRA to endorse a Democrat? And someone who's worked for both Faux News and Lehman Bros? This looks legit! Of course, it could just be that I happen to be a pro-gun liberal.

That road is straight for a reason-- it's just the aftereffect of a 'busa passing through. Ten minutes earlier, it was a series of 82 switchbacks running up the side of a mountain. It'll take a week or two to twist back into its normal shape.

On the freeway, I normally just try to keep the speedometer around 0x4B. My bikes are a little nerdy. On backroads I usually just accelerate till I come to each curve or stop sign.

I forgot all about that. Oh well. I guess I'm just a little more laid back than maybe I come across. Anyway, I'm probably not even the most heavily-armed liberal on this board. At the time, that was the only pic of myself I had on the computer.

Yeah, but it's to be expected-- the internet does that to most guys. Someone could be halfway through writing a doctoral thesis on gender equality in western societies, open a browser window, and suddenly he's typing "TITS OR GTFO!" I seldom take things seriously on here, particularly when it's good-natured.

Probably because she said she was married to an OR member in her intro. To be honest, I figured it would happen anyway, but maybe people think I might actually get angry about some good-natured internet leg-humping.

Actually, he sold it to me, then I fixed it up a bit and traded it to a friend of mine on here to get a Ninja 250 for my wife. He still has it, but it's increased in value a bit since it's undergone a bunch of fixing. At any rate, I doubt he'd want to sell it right now. Sorry. Incidentally, Todd, it's back on the road and running great. Paint's probably next on the agenda.

Pretty badass, but I think I'd rather have this (with modded darts): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLtcVxYbRt4&feature=related
