  1. Worried Freshman (Ryan Carlberg): "It's like this itchy, rashy, burning sensation. And it hurts when I..."

    Van: "Dance?"

    Worried Freshman: "No, when I pee!"

    Van: "You hooked up with byrner. Didn't you?"

    Worried Freshman: "yeah."

    Van: "She seamed like a nice girl, said it was her first time. Yeah, you should always check the quality of the turf before you step out onto the field. Liston, go to the campus hospital. See stu. Tell him Van sent you. And remember, Don't be a fool, wrap your tool."

    Worried Freshman: "Thanks Van, thanks a lot."

    Van: "Dont't thank me. Thank penicillin."

  2. I looked on the R6 service manual and the thread size is 40mm, the wrench size you would need should be 47mm if I am reading the manual correctly. If you have the front wheel off of the ground and the preload backed out all of the way it should be a bit easier to loosen. I would either find a big adjustable wrench or find a vise with "jaw shields" on it, clamp down on the hex part of the fork cap and rotate the fork. The torque spec in the manual is only 14 ft lb so it should be relatively easy to get loose. There is a rubber washer which gives a bit of resistance for the first couple of turns then it should spin right off

    edit 47mm thread, and 40mm socket sorry

  3. Corolla's are flying off the showroom floor from this program..

    This program is also good for people that own vehicles that have to take a loss on their vehicles. If you have a 95 Exploder with a hundred different problems(c'mon now, you know ford lacks in the SUV dept) such as no AC, a window that doesnt roll down with a ticking noise coming from a belt tensioner, no one in their right mind would buy it. Shitty gas mileage plus a bunch of normal ford problems make it's actual value way lower than what you would find in a lil yellow book. You probably couldn't GIVE it away to a normal person. Now the people that are in this situation have an opportunity to take advantage of. If they can afford the new car its not a bad deal. Of course, if this program doesn't directly help you because you dont need a new car or dont have a shitty one right now, I supposed its the worst idea iin the world.

    But here's where it does good things:

    My dealership has sold 40 new cars(give or take). Thats revenue for my establishment of employment. Which means it benefits me indirectly, along with other Toyota employees all over northern KY. TEMA gets more cars sent to us from the factory 50 miles from. It's helping the entire automotive industry. Selling new cars, while some can argue is pointless for how many used cars are out there, is a key factor in our economy and trickles down from one little dealership all the way to the huge factories that employ thousands of people. And that goes for every brand, not just toyota...

    Destroying the cars is a good idea I think. It takes away the demand for useless pieces of shit out there on the road and eliminates them from the economy and from the sales choices. why give so much money for them if they are going to get in the way for people to decide what cars they would like to buy. Just because they are cheap at first doesnt make them worth it IMO

    Oh thank god !!!!! I was so scared that all of the high school educated ford workers that screw on lug nuts would lose their $40 an hour jobs. For a minute there I thought that UAW and major Automakers would have to make a deal that is beneficial to both parties as well as the American public that is supporting them.

    I cant wait to go to bed tonight, I am sure I will sleep easy knowing we have delayed the inevitable.

    While that money is "trickling down" I don't think there will be much left after people get their greedy hands on it

  4. that sounds all well and good, but if your control arm "failed" likely any control arm in the junkyard is not going to be in any better condition than the one that failed. This is a time when you would likely have to go to a parts store anyway...

    while i see your POV, it's not nearly as detrimental as one might think.

    the used car market...yeah I could see it taking a small hit, but not everyone who has these old cars is in the market for a brand new car either.

    the used car market that is hit is the cars that are 1-3 years old. Why would someone want to buy a two year old car when they can get a new one cheaper (with the $4500 credit)?

  5. I wanted to go on this ride but I didn't because Ross is a fag and it makes me very uncomfortable when he is kissing on Parks.

    I heard from a very reliable source that Ross was passing the guy on the R6 and he crashed as soon as Ross grabbed his ass.

    As far as the dick measuring contest, any time I can get my dick in a girls hand I consider that a win.

  6. just to fuck with him and say "oh yeah you wanna yell at me? look what i can do". thats whats called "being professional".

    lt. dan - God damn it, Gump! You’re a goddamned genius! This is the most outstanding answer I have ever heard. You must have a goddamn I.Q. of 160. You are goddamned gifted, Private Gump.

  7. Back to basics... It doesn't matter who you are, where you are, or what is happening. If a LEO asks you twice to do something, you better say "Yes Sir" and do it. The third request might be while being detained or placed under arrest, with or without handcuffs. Just to get you out of the way, so they can do their job. It's a safety issue, both your safety and theirs. When police are on the scene of a call, they are in control. No one else. And they don't need out-of-control people around.

    Gates was pushing the limits, and he got the basic response. Same as any other citizen.

    Those cops and their high school education can fuck themselves and get over their power trips. That cop handled shit like a cocky prick and now he gets to deal with it. Dealing with pricks is part of the job that is why they get paid well. If the cop was right then why did they drop the charges???

    +1 for Obama for actually standing up for something.

  8. Ok, should I get wave or straight edge?

    I dont think it will matter much either way. For the price just get both:) I got the straight because I bought mine for a different year bike (bigger) and that was what was available.

  9. That doesn't mean you're above everything, and that definitely doesn't mean shit.

    Nope, it doesn't mean that you are above everything but it means that if you fuck with him the president will call you stupid, and get to be on the news a lot.

  10. The bottom line is this guy showed an ID. The ID stated he was a professor at Harvard University. Once that was established the officer should have not called any other units and tried to avoid embarrassment for either party involved. Professor Gates has a resume that the combined OR.net community couldn't hold a candle to.

    You guys are brutal. I would have apologized for the trouble and spent a couple of hours talking to him if I was the cop on scene.

  11. Doesn't change my opinon at all. Gates was being an asshole. Got what he deserved.

    Yep and tough guy cop got called stupid by the president of the united states. Hopefully the African American youth of Massachusetts don't hold a grudge

  12. I'll second that. The arresting officer should sue Gates for slander and/or vice versa. Let it go to court. Bring in the witnesses. Let the court figure it out. There were several witnesses at the scene, including police officers and neighbors. Unless this man is hated in the neighborhood, his neighbors will tell the truth.

    And that crowd gathered while Gates was inside. They were not there because Gates was mouthing off, they were there because there were at least three cruisers in the middle of a narrow ass street

  13. I read it yesterday. I still don't understand the problem.

    In the police report Gates says the door is unsecurable because of a prior break in. So it's unthinkable that someone was breaking into his home? Or that burglars might be inside, possibly having threatened his life if he tells the cops they're there? Seriously, where's the problem here other than Gates going batshit crazy claiming racism and Obama talking out his ass (because *gasp* Gates is one of his friends) then retracting his comments?

    The problem is a cop pulls up in an unmarked cruiser and starts asking questions. Maybe the cop should have taken a moment to show his ID first as he was in an unmarked car. Second after he gets ID "to verify his residence" he radios for the Harvard PD. He had the ID so why did more cops need to be called in? I am sure if "several" cops showed up at your work you would be pissed too.
