    I read this conversation on it: "Yeah, only the audience for "Brüno" will undoubtedly fall into two basic categories. The first: people who are LGBT, gay-friendly, or generally indifferent. These audiences know they're watching a stereotype because they have LGBT friends, family members, co-workers, or just plain common sense. The second: ignorant or homophobic people. These are people who still use the word "gay" to mean bad or consider "faggot" the ultimate insult. Whether through fear, outright hatred, or no fault of their own, they have a limited concept of gayness that "Brüno" is unlikely to expand. In other words, Dave, this transformation you're talking about is unlikely in the case of "Brüno" because it will require people already hostile to gays to laugh at themselves while their stupidity is assaulted for an hour and a half. No one wants that. It's much easier to spend $180 million seeing "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" instead. I do hope "Brüno" doesn't do what so many people in the LGBT community fear the film will do: underwrite laughter from people who don't understand that the joke is on them. The last thing either of us want to see is a well-intentioned attempt at portraying homophobia as the tool of the ignorant go horribly awry." Food for thought.
  2. Tripple: For future reference to all those who might happen to find out who tried to kill them: © "Threat" means an expression, by words or action, of an intention to: (1) unlawfully injure the person threatened or another person, or damage property; (2) unlawfully subject a person to physical confinement or restraint; (3) commit a crime; (4) unlawfully withhold official action, or cause such withholding; (5) unlawfully withhold testimony or information with respect to another person's legal claim or defense, except for a reasonable claim for witness fees or expenses; (6) expose the person threatened to hatred, contempt, disgrace, or ridicule; (7) falsely harm the credit or business reputation of the person threatened; or (8) cause the evacuation of a dwelling, a building, another structure, or a vehicle. Had I not said "I am not %100 sure it was him" this thread would be more illegal than my voicemail.
  3. Agreed, which is why I was very careful to not threaten impending harm.
  4. I left him a message that night... I am smart enough to avoid threats of imminent danger, but I definitely said "I know who you are and I will find you". The police frowned upon it and said the parents tried to press charges on me. The officer seemed to understand my visceral response to the fact that these thug wannabes could have killed me or my new wife.
  5. I gathered in the parking lot a fairly significant chunk of the apartment complex. An older gentleman who saw them running away, a woman walking her dog, a group of kids who know of the local trouble makers and recognized them from the older man's description. All in all about 15 people assisted me in tracking them down. I felt validated that it was them when the parents told the police that their 19 year old son and his friend were in the house sleeping all night... on the 4th of July.
  6. If I had looked like that at 19, I might have thrown rocks at the world too.
  7. My wife's Yaris, not the Evo. We were going roughly 50 miles an hour, 10pm, on the 4th, on Westerville Rd. 1 foot higher and we might have been seriously hurt. Naturally I slammed on the brakes, ran into the neighborhood, found out the kid's name and phone number as well as the name of his accomplice. Tyler Boggs . The police stopped by his house and the parents claimed that he and his little friend were in bed all night... on the 4th of july. In all fairness, I cannot be 100% that these are the kids responsible, but the 10 or so people in the neighborhood seemed confident. The issue is that since the parents provided the alibi, it looks like they are off the hook.
  8. Questions: -How the hell do I edit the text in the about us frame? I've edited the text below the main heading, and elsewhere, but that is elusive to my clicks. -What is the proper procedure for swapping pictures? Doing it in the library under "update" causes animation issues all over. -How do you add more pages to the gallery? -How the hell do you get to any of the other menu locations. The gallery was the only other one I could find. And many more.
  9. I do have the .fla. I'm really interested in learning for myself though. It is a fairly complicated template. I'll PM a download link for you to look at it. I'm used to html templates where everything you need to modify is visible, at least, somewhere. This thing has multiple pages that I cant even find in the timeline. (im using flash CS4 Pro)
  10. I have a flash website template (legally purchased) that I need to swap out the pics and text to create mine. I thought I could figure it all out, but I am struggling with a few parts. I'll wait to see if anyone is familiar with the operation before I post up the specific questions.
  11. I have a sale pending, I'm not holding my breath though. I will miss my toy. I still get asked what the hell it is at least once a week at gas stations.
  12. I was satirizing the reality that so many dudes ditch their cars shortly after getting hitched or popping out a kid. My real reason is more pragmatic than that.
  13. Yuck, silver is for poor evo owners. Graphite Gray ftw.
  14. Good question. The only non stock part is the flywheel. Stock flywheels are junk and warp long before the clutch disks wear out. Work was done by a genuine WORKS mechanic. Clutch and flywheel were replaced 2000 miles ago along with a stock air filter. Tires have been replaced since the stock Advans last roughly 10,000 miles though I got about 20k out of them. Nothing else has been touched.
  15. You'd have to pay me the 22k plus another 5k to get me to drive a mach.
  16. Graphite Gray SE gets you: BBS wheels, Aluminum roof, HIDs, Super fancy red stitching, etc. 40k Miles BONE STOCK and never modified. It has been an awesome car. I need a car with greater ground clearance for my job... and I'm married now. http://farm1.static.flickr.com/111/309215731_e4a385320d.jpg http://farm1.static.flickr.com/108/308233370_deacf4fb82.jpg http://farm1.static.flickr.com/108/308233441_e96220cdd2.jpg?v=0 KBB says $24,100... and I could get it. CR Members only $22,500
  17. Wait... there is a place you can go and Blockbuster books... for free??
  18. Yes. I always felt like he was an asexual being. A lostboy Peter Pan figure trying to capture a childhood he never had. I bet he didn't touch any dinkers.
  19. Article Not a jet. This is where it happened and where they live.
  20. Pensacola AFB I assume. That's where we fly in/out of. The Blue Angles practice in the Lagoon behind my in-law's house. Apparently a fighter jet of some sort went down in the lagoon a few years back while my uncle-in-law was mowing his lawn. Crazy.
