16 THINGS THAT IT TOOK ME OVER 50 YEARS TO LEARN:

By Dave Barry, Nationally Syndicated Columnist

 

1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

 

2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings."

 

3. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."

 

4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.

 

5. You should not confuse your career with your life.

 

6. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.

 

7. Never lick a steak knife.

 

8. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.

 

9. You will never find anybody who can give you a compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.

 

10. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.

 

11. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.

 

12. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.

 

13. A person, who is nice to you, but rude to a waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)

 

14. Your friends love you anyway.

 

15. Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.

 

16. Thought for the day: Men are like fine wine. They start out as grapes, and it's up to the women to stomp the crap out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

Would you guys consider motorcyle stunting as a sport? Thers no possible way you can judge it beside skill and style. It is harder to stunt then road race. Go ahead and flame way but I know a bunch of pro stunters that could out stunt you and out race you.

Completely irrelevent.

 

What I said was that I and actually alot of other people don't consider judged events "sports". Thats all.

 

Pretty straightforward really. And its an old old continuing argument. Not all competitions are sports. When you're "competing" to impress someone else (or a panel of someone elses) its not a sport in my book.

 

Been argued for decades. Going to go on being argued.

 

BTW - I never said any of that stuff wasn't *hard*. I didn't say it wasn't entertaining. Alot of things are *hard*. Ice skating is hard. Doesn't make it a sport. And being good at one thing making you better equipped to be good at another also doesn't make it a sport. And being better at something than someone else also doesn't make it a sport. I mean I can rattle off a list of things I can do that you and/or your pro stunter buddies wouldn't be able to do without years of practice/training, some of them very physically/mentally challenging too (wanna go do some aggressive flying with me sometime and see if you can stay conscious?) - doesn't prove a thing. Doesn't make em sports.

 

You were mixing up your arguements.

 

So now you tell me why that demeans these things in any way.

 

It doesn't.

Can't speak for buckeye, but I wouldn't consider it a sport the same way I don't consider ice skating, gymnastics, diving, or any other "judged" event a sport. I'd include boxing in that too, if not for the win by KO.

 

But thats me.

Black's great. And faster. Scientificamally proven. But after the bahzillionth wash....

 

red.

Well I'm tired of waiting up. Guess I've been stood up. Not surprised. But still, all that three-word-or-less post whoring he did tonight too...

 

*goes to cry self to sleep*

 

P.S. - sorry your thread got hijacked Sam, I'm outtie

Heh, not in an unmodified 04 GTO you ain't. PM me if you wanna see so first hand. No waiting.

Hey if you wait til July I'll race you in my rocketship hovercar.

I still like Dr Z06 better because I like avatar bewbies

*looks around*

 

Woops, I stumbled into Romper Room again....

That car list is alot better than GT4s.

 

CTS-V, natch

Yeah - 30+ lbs = boom in short time.

 

He probably runs psi in the teens for usual racing and then bumps it up to 31psi to dyno-queen. Chances are you're not running up against that guy at full boost - just like anyone else making high numbers off high boost - you'll rarely have to run em on full boost.

 

Paper tigers.

 

But, if he's got enough tunes stored and can carry his laptop around he can dial in a boost/tune after eyeballing his opponent and making a guess on what psi he'd need to win. Thats rare you find that type individual, though, but it is a theoretical advantage.

I'd sell it - it looks like ass.

Not news to me. See it with my own eyes every summer.

Bigfoot

Well yeah. That was the gist. I know nothing about the cars. Maybe the 206RC is a hotrod? anyone got pics or a link? (I'm too lazy)

I lift in the winter. But I still crave spring air.

... and all the other civics just got 10 more hp.

 

JK - thats damn impressive.

Amen.

 

BTW - to all you anti-Ohio types that might feel compelled to post some witty weather quip: Bite me. Yeah our cold weather sucks, but I've lived in Calli where yeah it was pretty good all year round, but that just means you miss out on the yearly exuberance that only comes from going into a glorious spring after a sucktastic winter.

 

Years become a malaise of blah, same old same old weather. You get spoiled and no longer appreciate. That can't touch an Ohio spring.

 

Bring on the green!

I am so sick of playing computer games and watching movies I could kick the cat!

 

Getting the bikes ready. Come on warm weather.

 

Go Spring go. Nothing better! Booyah.

I still disagree. More ancedotal evidence: Look at the recent MT supercar challenge. V the winner of the sedan class over the second place EVO and an STi well down the field. That was a mallet car that had just a supercharger and different wheels and tires, plus some suspension bushings. The 4bangers were moddified to the moon. V trounced em.

 

I still think around a road course a V wins. Certainly a fast course like say the Nurbergring where they did all of its tuning.

Now, cones in a parking lot, eh the STi would probably take. But then it can have it. The small cars always do well in grocery cart cavalcades.

 

Now take a V and place it in rally and see where it goes ...

Why would I want to do that? Along the same lines I also don't really need to see how many old cars I can jump n crush after I mount Monster Truck wheels on it. Or see how many moguls I can enduro on my Ninja ZX-11.
