  1. Hang Em High Splash A Mighty Wind EDIT, new one... Soylent Green A River Runs Through It A Series Of Unfortunate Events
  2. Hadn't seen that one. The one I saw was a single HUGE motor, powering a CSC turbine.
  3. OK, yeah, ghetto as fuck, and the kid should be spanked, cause they obviously missed when he was born... But damn, that thing SOUNDS fucking awesome....
  4. No, he doesn't. Same bolt pattern if you want to go stick, if you want auto, the trans in the Grand Am won't even begin to handle the torque from the L67, so you're gonna be swapping to a 4T56E-HD anyways.
  5. You know, I actually have seen an electric SUPERcharger that actually worked. It increased power by about 50hp... Unfortunately, the motor that drove the CSC they used as a turbine weighed about 45lbs, and the pack of batteries they used to run that weighed well over 200lbs. Oh, and they had to use 3/4" thick cable to handle the current. It was a slight overall gain in the quarter. Of course, if they had just run a belt for the CSC, they would have doubled the HP gain, and cut 245lbs of extra weight...
  6. Wasn't there something going around about how Cheaper Than Dirt and Sportsman's Guide were voluntarily turning over ammo purchase records to the ATF?
  7. We should ban "Saturday Night Specials" and other inexpensive guns because they have a bad habit of jamming, misfiring, or otherwise malfunctioning...or occasionally exploding... Say no to gun bans, say yes to quality controls...
  8. Damn skippy. Process will be followed, to the fucking letter. Messed with the wrong asshole. I'm unemployed, I got nothing better to do than make life hell for these ass-hats. It's nice to be able to take time and really savor being an asshole for once.
  9. VEHEMENTLY. BTW, I just edited that post to add a link to this one.
  10. You haven't seen Unforgiven?! Wow...uh, yeah, easily the best Western since The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. As for F&F4, anybody that spent money on it, or expected it to be anything other than a fagtastic fail, well, I don't quite know how to express just how big a fail that is...
  11. I have had it with these people and their shitty book-keeping. They're trying to charge me $30 for a water bill from February of last year. They say when they switched over to the new flat-rate billing system, they missed a monthly charge. Understand, I have the note in hand saying that the payments to them begin March 1st, and the charge was for February... Meanwhile, they're claiming the $30 balance has been on there since then, but they have NEVER attempted to collect, or even notified us of a balance against us till yesterday. Not even when we renewed the lease in September. In fact, they keep screwing up our rent amount and sending us notes that we have a $5 CREDIT every month. So basically, as far as I know, this "debt" originated yesterday in somebody's fevered imagination. Now the bitch who manages the place is refusing to give me the number for the owner(her direct supervisor), AND she's saying that the owner may refuse to accept this month's rent without the additional charge! So, I'm eating lunch, then I'm going over to the Columbus Urban League to file a complaint and find out how to get these fuckers to eat their own stupid mistake and start obeying the damn law. Oh, yeah, the manager thing also said they can just take the balance out of next month's rent. I told her she can try taking it out of an escrowed payment. BTW, anybody ever hear of a ledger program that can't be edited to correct an entry mistake? They're claiming theirs can't be edited...FUCKING FAIL.
  12. You're a douchebag and fully deserve the beating someone will most likely give you some day.
  13. The train overpass next to that weird looking pagoda thing across from Vet's Memorial is pretty cool. There is one pass-through in the curb around it on the side facing the Spaghetti Factory where you can get in underneath. Sunday afternoon or evening is best, as there seem to cars randomly parked there throughout the week. I took these underneath the causeway there: http://gonneville.smugmug.com/photos/299942081_egX7Y-L.jpg http://gonneville.smugmug.com/photos/299942074_qGDxo-L.jpg http://gonneville.smugmug.com/photos/299943066_jaChv-L.jpg http://gonneville.smugmug.com/photos/299948421_EHEig-L.jpg
  14. Get used to more life being sucked out of the Campus area. Most of the businesses along the North Campus Orange Barrel Blockade will be gone even before the moved-up October finish. Follow the money there...within two years, that whole stretch will be more soulless glass and steel facades over faggotty little bistros, coffee bars, and emo clubs. Fuck Campus Partners.
  15. Wow, that thing must have been trashed, or the owner was a total newb. GN =/= Typhoon. Apples to oranges. Yeah, the GN is faster, but as a daily, I'll take the Typhoon.
  16. BS. Say what you want about quirkiness, but GM was the best thing that happened to SAAB in decades. The GM motors are more reliable, more efficient, and more powerful than anything SAAB was doing beforehand. BTW, I assume that means Volvos are all shit because Ford bought them, and Fords are all rolling deathtraps. Can your Ford/GM rivalry bullshit and look at SAAB honestly, and they're damn nice cars. Well, other than being a bitch to work on because of a funky accessory layout.
  17. I've seen a few rear-mount builds, and they actually spool surprisingly quick.
  18. Depends on what distance you're talking about. At the muzzle, the T-Rex is more powerful, but at a couple thousand yards downrange, the .50BMG is going to have far more hitting power left. T-Rex=big game at short range .50BMG=armored targets at medium to long range.
  19. I want you guys to notice something here... The only guy in that vid who had any idea what he was doing with a big-game rifle was the last guy in the vid, and he wasn't firing a T-Rex...notice the different bolt? .700 Nitro Express, a bit less powerful than the T-Rex, but a far better round simply for the fact that IF you miss, you can take a second shot because you're not on your ass. I've fired a .700 break-action, though, and that thing knocked all 300lbs of me back about three and a half steps and left me bruised from nipple to elbow...
  20. Datsun, Nissan, and Toyota used to make tons of dually compacts for campers, flatbed pickups, and even small U-Haul trucks. They made awesome little work-trucks until the cabs rusted off the chassis.
  21. Yeah, my airgun would pretty much splatter that soap... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoTrWhWkJmA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JQSLSePjkw
  22. Actually, it doesn't really mean all that much. It's just a statement of disapproval, not any kind of binding legislation. It's the equivalent of an angry letter. Still, it's heartening to see more and more states making these statements of disapproval. Just as a measure of the political climate right now, it's reassuring.
  23. Tell you what, the DVD is gonna be interesting, because I feel confident saying there is going to be an alternate ending...They showed enough unused scenes in teasers and in the Last Frakkin Special to tell me they filmed almost an entire alternate episode. One of the scenes in question couldn't fit into the show anywhere beyond that, and completely contradicts events in the actual episode. Another points to a totally different resolution between human and Cylon.
  24. Wow, traveling from half-court, AND hanging on the rim(or trying to...). Do they even referee this crap anymore?
  25. Kenny left more than a couple holes in my hide, just like he did everyone else around here. Dude was an asshole and a half, and I laughed just about every thread he posted in, especially the ones where he tore into me. CR won't be the same now.
