  1. Better yet, skip the tank and go for a tankless water heater. My parents went that way about ten years ago, and it seriously dropped their gas bill.
  2. Nah, it wasn't the Wad. Some other goofy bitch. I remember that it wasn't just Yolanda Harris though, there was another black chick that co-starred with her. Can't remember her name, but I'm pretty sure she just kinda disappeared after that gig.
  3. I don't know if you've ever been around when one of those dry-chemical ones got set off, but that stuff is HORRID. My Brother and I were at a shoot where someone brought a few out. I pegged one with the Garand when the wind was going the wrong way, and man, that shit is nasty. Not CS-type bad, but enough of it is definitely gonna give the guy burning eyes and trouble breathing.
  4. No shit. I've shot the Keltec, about the same size. Thing was downright painful, felt like a .454, and my trigger finger would get pinched between the point of the trigger and the guard from the recoil. Pass.
  5. Our neighbor's expensive, heavy, stainless steel, propane BBQ got blown twenty feet across the lawn and torn up pretty good. The ironic thing is that our other neighbor's cheap-shit, light-weight, rusted-out POS charcoal grill hasn't budged an inch...
  6. Because the deal isn't complete, and XM is doing the same thing.
  7. Just what is he asking in trade? Personally, I'd skip it and look for one with the correct stock.
  8. Look at it more this way; you're already paying whether you want to or not. Why not use the service you are involuntarily paying for anyways?
  9. Springsteen in his prime was one of the greats, but watching that "show" hurt...dude needs to hang it up, his voice is shot. Off key, off tempo, and out of breath. Not to mention he and the E-Street Band didn't actually play a note during the whole thing. Fuck's sake, the guy that did the sax solo picked up the wrong one; he was playing a tenor, and the sound on the speakers was an alto!
  10. I really didn't care either way. Rooted for the Cardinals just for the underdog thing and because I hate Pittsburgh(the city) with a passion(never drive a semi through Pittsburgh).
  11. Ditch the Foose rims, drop it 3", and I'm all over it.
  12. Just call animal control already. The cats will be permanently gone, and you won't have the guilt of subjecting an animal that's just trying to get warm to what is universally considered the worst death imaginable.
  13. And it'd be easy enough to incorporate the regenerative system into a downgraded version of the Bose Active suspension: http://www.bose.com/controller?event=VIEW_STATIC_PAGE_EVENT&url=/learning/project_sound/suspension_challenge.jsp Set it up so it's a hybrid system, use it as a regenerative shock system for small bumps, but have it scanning so it can activate for larger bumps and potholes.
  14. Hyundai is still a Hyundai. http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2008/11/first-hyundai-genesis-coupe-crash-looks.html Hmm, classic front-offset crash, can't get much closer to the exact situation they try to replicate during testing, and the airbags failed to deploy...I'm gonna have to see a LOT of STELLAR reviews to make me forget that one...

    Oh shit....

    I don't suppose the German people needed to "know" either... I'm not even suggesting that Gitmo is equivalent, but that is the kind of thing that happens when citizens decide not to take responsibility for overseeing the actions of their government.
  16. You do NOT have to claim it as income. There is a Recovery Rebate Credit line where you have to do a short worksheet, and you have to enter it there. It doesn't cost you anything, in fact, it looks like if you didn't get a stimulus check and you should have, it gets added to your refund.

  18. First time she's ever had to say that one, I bet...
  19. One more piece of advice/bitching: CLEAN THE FUCKING ICE OFF YOUR FUCKING ROOF! I'm sick of dodging airborne glacier. If you're not elderly, crippled, or a fucking midget, you shouldn't have an ice cap waiting to fly off and smash somebody's damn windshield. If you ARE elderly, crippled, or a fucking midget, stay the FUCK home!
  20. You know, this might be the first such movie in years that looks worth watching.
  21. Oh, GOD, no shit! People pacing each other in different lanes is my biggest goddamn peeve in ANY weather! Move the FUCK over if you aren't passing! And for the fuckfaces in the SUVs, I am sick to fucking death of sitting behind their asses while they're doing 20mph in a 35, and then having them take off as fast as they can at a light, only to go back to doing 20 once they get to a place I can't pass. Hey, great, if you can get off the light faster, KEEP GOING! Don't hold my ass up just because you've got more traction and no fucking idea how to drive.
  22. Let's see: Speeding Grand Prix(80ish with traffic going 50) caught a sheet of ice blown off somebody's roof. Busted windshield. 90s Jetta yapping on phone spun end-for-end while turning onto Fishinger. Started to drive back down the road he was turning from, nearly rammed a Mazda. Late-model Accord well and truly stuck on Georgesville, just south of Broad. If anyone knows that steep parking lot entrance on the right, he was high-centered there in a couple feet of brown snow. And the usual assortment of SUV ass-hats in ditches. A couple Jeeps, a Durango, and several pick-ups covered in snow.
  23. Then you're fucked. Replace the whole wheel/hub/spindle/WTFE...which is why they'll never see mass production.
  24. I'm not a bit surprised to see Toyota flunk out on every test, they're shit. Sorry if you own one, have fun driving it around town. Don't even consider towing or hauling anything close to it's rated payload, and don't expect it to still be running in ten years. As for the Chevy, hey great, Ford has a little less body roll, goody. Now try loading twice the rated payload into both vehicles and try it again. Besides, my final criterion is that I don't like my trucks to burst into flames at odd times. I'll stick to Chevy.
