I didn't read anything past ceramic coating because any of those over the counter ones are bullshit and not actual ceramic coating. You're better off with a good polish over the shitty coatings out right now

Sorry, but nobody asked for your advice.

Did you ask for advice for this one?

After I washed my bike yesterday, I tried drying it with a Craftsman 26.5 cc weed whacker (Amazon, $99.) Worked great. No streaks. Highly recommended.

Throw rocks at it for an hour, douse in quick detailer, dry with weedwacker. 

What brand of weed whacker works best? It's a bit chilly here today, but I'm going to try this.

ever since sam turned 40, he's been super sensitive.  i'm worried.

Maybe that has something to do with the small turnout at The fucking Catalina wine mixer NEO meat and greet extravaganza last month.

Thank God some brilliant mod unlocked this thread for all this entertainment that was to be had.

Oh, I think "had" is the wrong choice of verbs. This thing is FAR from over 😅

When I joined OR last summer, one of the first photos I saw on the site was you, your wife, and . . . THAT guy in the blue cap. I had no idea he was Vanilla Ice.

As far as Geraldo goes, he used to live in Chagrin Falls--my home town--but I think he moved to Shaker Heights. Still, pretty cool!

And you don't need to explain the drill. I have partied with Method Man and Redman.

. . . but not with Rocket Man, Marlboro Man, Cucumber Man, or the Good Humor Man. THOSE cats know how to kick it.

Where is the show? The Agora? Did you lay in an adequate supply of weed and Corvoisier? They will check you at the door to make sure you brought it; otherwise, no entry.

I think he wrote it after his best friend died,

Whoops, wasn't aware of that.

All the kids at my school tell me how much they hate music coming from their own generation and how much they love Led Zeppelin, The Who, Jefferson Starship, and the other big names from the 60s and 70s. It's just weird.

It is a good cover. Not sure which one I like better. I think Reznor does a better job at convincing me of his self-punishment. 

Fuck happiness!

Apparently the embers are still glowing here. Hope this doesn't lead to a rash of bike-burnings.

Ask for advice>>reject advice>>shit show>>claim you weren't looking for advice>>I told you so>>retard

Did I get that right?  I wasn't paying that close of attention.

Coming from someone who claims not to have paid close attention, I think your summation is completely accurate. And, despite the denial that this was, in fact, a "throw-down," I call bullshit.

Referring to Sam as 'special needs' would be an insult to 'special needs' people everywhere. He used the right term. 

This is equally offensive, but successfully appeals to my sense of logic. Retard it is.

lol really?   I was just raised to not make fun of or argue with retards.  

That's an offensive term. Please use "special needs" instead.

I washed the Whale today.

Before Jim starts to squeal.

I focus on my shame.

The only thing that's real. 

 

Tonik may be thunderstruck

You didn't read his bible

I only hope the Whale's clean

And Jim won't hold you liable.

Tonic is fluidly of zero minds but fuck if he dont have access to the best damn homemade whiskey. These two facts may be connected. 

Home-made whiskey not withstanding, getting drunk is still almost always the right thing to do.

There was also the not-so-popular 6cyl KZ1300

Why was it not popular?

Weren't we talking about old motorcycles? 

Yes, variously, we were. Wasn't aware that your bike had had a hysterectomy, or that you have sex with it "as much as [you] want."

Mine had a hysterectomy  6 months ago for medical reasons. I can leave it in as much as I want. No oven, no bun. 

You can leave it in as much as SHE wants--or, eventually, oven door is closed and locked 😆

If we had met 10 years earlier maybe we would have bred a few crotch goblins but we were 30 when we met. By then we were both like 'fuck that noise'.

Got it. My wife was 19 and I was 31 when we met. Neither of us had a desire to have kids back then, and we still don't (although she couldn't now at her current age anyway.) Unless you have an overwhelming desire to make copies of yourselves in order to save the world, I would advise against it. Here we go again . . .

I just think the world is too complicated to bring kids into it without firm convictions about parenting, but know at the same time that this is the same thing our grandparents and parents thought . . . and they still had "us."

Make up your fucking mind.

Tonik, I'm solidly of two minds at this juncture, and have learned how to coexist in my world as well as the decidedly twisted alternative reality OR represents. Let it whip . . .

I just turned 40. Embarked on a career in manufacturing while still in high school and spent my teens and early 20's basically delivering whatever fun drugs into my brain I could find. Kinda set me back but I've got a good thing going now, married, no kids (we didnt want em) and about to sell our current home and buy something better. I still look back on my younger days as my best tho, I had a lot of fun and got away with a lot of illegal shit and banged some hot chicks. 

Love it! Doesn't matter how we get there.

You were wise to be honest with your wife and acknowledge not wanting kids--that's a big issue. I have had many students over the years who were clearly unwanted judging from parent interactions, and that used to make me sad until I realized that they will all "make it" somehow. Life is often messy . . .
