  1. Son of a bitch. Their last bike night was August 26. They're not doing the dyno anymore either. I called and asked about it and the guy that answered said it was actually Whickey Dick's that had the dyno.
  2. I'm thinkin I may want to go to Iron pony for a few tonight and dyno the bike. Then It's off to where ever CR is meeting.
  3. Harbor Freight may be a good place to watch as well.
  4. I picked it up at BestBuy for ~$16 They had a ton. Don't get me wrong, it was hilarious. I was just a bit disappointed. It has a very rushed feel to it. Quick buck perhaps?
  5. http://img73.imageshack.us/img73/8979/stewie2aj.jpg I picked this DVD up on my way home from work today. I absolutely couldn't wait for it to hit the shelves. Don't worry, there will be no spoilers in my review. Family Guy presents Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story What is it? This is the first full length (88 minutes according to the back of the packaging) Family Guy "movie" I say "movie" because it's not actually a movie at all. Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story is actually 3 episodes that were written 3 or 4 years ago that all closely follow the same story line. Stewie Griffin: The Review As I mentioned above this movie is actually 3 episodes of family guy that have been edited into a single super-episode. The problem is that 3 made-for-TV episodes added together simply are not long enough to market as a movie. To compensate for this, the film features amusing intro and outro segments featuring the paparazzi, red carpet, and champagne. This movie follows the tale of Stewie's quest across the country to meet his real father in California; and just as you would expect from anything bearing the Family Guy insignia, it does everything but merely follow his quest across the cuntry. No, that is not a typo. Stewie's untold story is full of the side stories and random gags that we have all come to love about Family Guy. The wonderful gags range from sex changes, Rosanne, all the way to 8 second sexual experiences. That poor girl. The DVD box claims that this Untold Story is outrageous and uncensored, and generally a tad more hard core than the TV series. I didn't see a single gag that they wouldn't have been able to air on Fox, however there are some curse words that would have to be removed. Wow, outrageous. Stewie Griffin: The DVD Special Features I am horribly disappointed with the features that are on this DVD. There is a total of four special features. Four! Two of those features are advertisements for upcoming DVDs. This barren sub-menu of the DVD also includes a full length commentary with Seth MacFarlane, the cast, and writers and what they call ananimatic comparison. The full length commentary can be switched on and off, and basically plays the movie while the people responsible for the DVD babble incoherently, mostly about Star Trek. The animation comparison is basically an animated black and white storyboard that can be viewed from several different angles. Sadly, my DVD player remote lacks an angle button, so I was unable to use this feature. I was hoping for some material that was chopped and found on the editing room floor, or maybe some interviews with the voice actors and writers. Perhaps a few animated short skits would have been nice? Stewie Griffin: The Packaging This DVD comes in pretty much industry standard packaging. You get your typical boring grey DVD case that is shrouded by a cardboard sleeve. Inside you'll find of course the DVD, chapter guide (which is printed on the back of an advertisement for the Family Guy Volume 3 DVD), an advertisement for Robots, an advertisement for Family Guy and American Dad DVD's and apparel, and a 6 page advertisement for Fox series that have since been canceled and are now available on DVD. Fox, I already gave you my money when I bought the DVD, now stop trying to sell me shit! Stewie Griffin: The Bottom Line If you're merely interested in seeing the movie, then hit up Blockbuster or Netflicks. If you're a fan of the Family Guy, then your collection can't be complete without it. Don't get me wrong, Stewie's Story is just as funny as any other family guy, it just has shitty extras and was thrown together to make a quick buck. + The Pros: *Just as witty, random, and funny as the series we all love *Contains approximately 4 times as much Family Guy as Fox airs on Sunday nights *Includes spoofs of entirely too many other shows * makes fun of Rosanne and Who's the Boss? - The negatives: * Just as witty, random, and funny as the series because it is made of 3 episodes glued together * Completely wastes the Special Features section of the DVD *Contains 12 pages of advertising. Front and back! *Not any edgier than the FCC allows the nationally aired tv series to be *Not quite as funny as a Family Guy feature film should be Movie: 3.5 stars (of 5) Good, funny, but not great Extras: 1 star Waste. of. time. Packaging: 2.5 stars This comes in a fairly standard DVD case. All the advertising didn't help the score either.
  6. I knew the car looked weird. I thought it looked like the general lines of a 240, but the taillights didn't look like 240 lights.
  7. While I have a braker bar, I usually just find it wasier to put a metal pipe on the end of a rachet to increase my leverage. Viola, instant racheting breaker bar. That looks like a nice set. But if you want some tools and you're on a budget, try lowe's. They have Kobalt (nice) and Taskforce (not too bad) brand tools. They're usually cheaper than craftsman, and both brands carry a lifetime warranty. I've got some nice tools through them.
  8. Does that 2nd gen have a fart cannon?
  9. I am happily moving this to the kitchen. Ladies and gentlemen, HAVE AT IT!
  10. Just shut up and enjoy the funny video.
  11. I must agree with my esteemed colleagues that posted above me. Shut up. Drag racing, road-course racing, and auto-x are all established events with a large following. Which ever you prefer to partcipate in is just fine with me, because they're all a blast. Just because you don't like a motorsport or just because you own a vehichle that isn't well suited to it, doesn't make it worthless.
  12. Here is a short batman film. It's suprisingly well done, and features some .....suprising guest stars. High resolution:161mb Low resolution: 47mb They're large files, but worth viewing.
  13. I would have to say bluff.

    Impounded!!

    No tits= no NWS tag
  19. If you just want to get drunk for cheap, forget the strip. Go deeper into windsor, beyond the tourist trap strip. I went there when I was at UT. the 1st night we stayed at the hilton and bounced around bars and clubs. The 2nb night we drove deeper into windsor and stayed at the ABC Motel. It was $40 Canadian a night, and suprisingly not too ghetto. We walked to an AWESOME sportsbar that had like 6 pool tables and a really nice lodge/wood cabin like atmoshpere. And drinks were cheap. I was getting tall beers (local canadian brewery, don't remember the name of the beer) for $2.50 canadian. +1 for what john said. We got right through customs both times because we all had out ID's and birth certificates. Do NOT try to bring ANY alochol back across the border. I'm not sure if it's tehnically illegal, but if you get searched and they find hidden alochol, be ready for a customs headach. Edit: Oh yeah, Peppers is good too. We went there for lunch after we arrived in windsor. Good food, reasonable drinks.
  20. You flagged down a cop for hitting a stray cat?

    Chili Contest

    I got this from an e-mail my father sent me. It's fucking hilarious. Read on. Subject: Chili Contest If you can read this whole story without laughing then there's no hope for you. I was crying by the end. Note: Please take time to read this slowly. If you pay attention to the first two judges, the reaction of the third judge is even better. For those of you who have lived in Texas, you know how true this is. They actually have a Chili Cook-Off about the time Halloween comes around. It takes up a major portion of the San Antonio City Park. Judge #3 was an inexperienced Chili taster named Frank, who was visiting from Springfield, IL. Frank: Recently I was honored to be selected as a judge at a Chili Cook Off. The original person called in sick at the last moment and I happened to be standing there at the judge's table asking for directions to the Coors Light Truck, when the call came in. I was assured by the other two judges (Native Texans) that the chili wouldn't be all that spicy and besides, they told me I could have free beer during tasting, so I accepted. Here are the scorecard notes from the event: ----------------------------------------------------------------- CHILI #1 - MIKE'S MANIAC MONSTER CHILI Judge #1 - A little too heavy on the tomato. Amusing kick. Judge #2 - Nice, smooth tomato flavor, Very mild. Judge #3 - (Frank) Holy sh--, what the hell is this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your driveway. Took me two beers to put the flames out. I hope that's the worst one. These Texans are crazy. ----------------------------------------------------------------- CHILI #2 - AUSTIN'S AFTERBURNER CHILI Judge #1 - Smoky, with a hint of pork. Slight jalapeno tang. Judge #2 - Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken seriously. Judge #3 - Keep this out of the reach of children. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who wanted to give me the Heimlich maneuver. They had to rush in more beer when they saw the look on my face. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CHILI #3 - FRED'S FAMOUS BURN DOWN THE BARN Judge #1 - Excellent, firehouse chili. Great kick. Judge #2 - A bit salty, good use of peppers. Judge #3 - Call the EPA. I've located a uranium spill; my nose feels like I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now. Get me more beer before I ignite. Barmaid pounded me on the back, now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. I'm getting shit-faced from all the beer. --------------------------------------------------------------------- CHILI #4 - BUBBA'S BLACK MAGIC Judge #1 - Black bean chili with almost no spice, Disappointing. Judge #2 - Hint of lime in the black beans, good side dish for fish or other mild foods, not much of a chili. Judge #3 - I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste it. Is it possible to burn out taste buds? Sally, the barmaid, was standing behind me with fresh refills. That 300lb woman is starting to look HOT - just like this nuclear waste I'm eating! Is chili an aphrodisiac? --------------------------------------------------------------------- CHILI #5 - LISA'S LEGAL LIP REMOVER Judge #1 - Meaty, strong chili, cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding considerable kick. Very impressive. Judge #2 - Chili using shredded beef, could use more tomato. Must admit the cayenne peppers make a strong statement. Judge #3 - My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off my forehead and I can no longer focus my eyes. I farted and four people behind me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage. Sally saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from the pitcher. I wonder if I'm burning my lips off. It really pisses me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming. Screw those rednecks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CHILI #6 - VERA'S VERY VEGETARIAN VARIETY Judge #1 - Thin, yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of spices and peppers. Judge #2 - The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions and garlic. Superb. Judge #3 - My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous, sulfuric flames. I shit on myself when I farted and I'm worried it will eat through the chair. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except that Sally. Can't feel my lips anymore. I need to wipe my butt with a snow cone. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CHILI #7 - SUSAN'S SCREAMING SENSATION Judge #1 - A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned peppers. Judge #2 - Ho, hum, tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can of chili peppers at the last moment. I should take note that I am worried about Judge #3. He appears to be in a bit of distress as he is cursing uncontrollably. Judge #3 - You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin and I wouldn't feel a thing. I've lost sight in one eye, and the world sounds like it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with chili, which slid unnoticed out of my mouth. My pants are full of lava to match my shirt. At least during the autopsy, they'll know what killed me. I've decided to stop breathing, it's too painful. I'm not getting any oxygen anyway. If I need air, I'll just suck it in through the 4-inch hole in my stomach. -------------------------------------------------------------------- CHILI #8 - BIG TOM'S TOENAIL CURLING CHILI Judge #1 - The perfect ending, this is a nice blend chili. Not too bold, but spicy enough to declare its existence. Judge #2 - This final entry is good, balanced chili. Neither mild nor hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge #3 farted, passed out, fell over and pulled the chili pot down on top of himself. Not sure if he's going to make it, poor fellow, wonder how he'd have reacted to really hot chili? Judge #3 - No report
