Never really did me either, back when I was the only one I had to worry about

You're not talkin' about the petcock, are you???

Ohhhh.....I've seen one....fairly close......From the back of my dad's bike when I was probably 11-12 years old. I see this skinny funnel looking cloud pivoting out of the sky. Start tuggin' the hell out of my dad's shirt & point over at what I'm seein' & tellin' him I think it's a tornado. He tells me he doesn't think so, and we continue on, as we're almost where we're goin' Get to the shop a few minutes later, and as we walk in the front door, the old timers are all in there squawkin' about the tornado that just touched down in the field out back. I proceed to give my dad the "I told you so" He claims now that he knew it back then, but didn't want to panic me Must not've been too big a one.....But definitely made an impression on me!!

Your friend on the phone couldn't have helped you should something have gone down. Person on phone does not = the "buddy system" Glad you got home OK

Headin' to bed now, but I'm checkin' this thread as soon as I get up.....So you better make me proud!

You're too smart to be stubborn......Be smart NOW about this!

Call campus security when you're ready to leave.....Let them use the mace!

Same thing with ours, except it was laughter

BTW.....Make sure you check in here when you get home, so we know you're OK!

Can't you call security to come escort you out & check what this guys deal is??? Don't do the mad dash thing by yourself MJ.....Use the buddy system!!! Don't be too proud or stubborn!

The whole skull thang 'aint really my cup of tea, but your talent looks pretty awesome from the pix!

This looks like a serious case of roadrash about to happen

Must've missed this thread the first time around. Seein' those gynormous sprockets always kills me! Thought stunters usually preferred V-twins for the torque? Not sure what this pic has to do with stunting....But it definitely looks like it was getting "interesting"

I've never read the novel, and think I pretty well grasped the story line. I consciously decided against reading it, as I've found over the years that movies based on complex/cult books like this are usually a disappointment if you read the book first. That said....There's a LOT going on, so it's one of those you really need to pay attention to. They do spoonfeed you a little w/ flashbacks 40-50 years to explain the origins/history. MANY backstories.....A few I thought were unnecessary & overcomplicated the story. Like I heard a critic say tonight.....Think of it as taking place in a parallel universe/earth. Similar....but different. It's somewhat historically based.....but VERY twisted INCREDIBLE special effects/CG! To me.....There are only 2 reasons I will pay to view in a theater anymore......Movie I can't wait to see, or special effects look so AWESOME that only the big screen can truly do them justice. This one was the latter Overall......Good movie, but definitely NOT your traditional, feelgood, bubblegum superhero movie. These "heroes" are human & extremely flawed. VERY dark.....And the "R" rating 'aint just for language like I assumed! Not suitable for young kids Just heard on the 11 o'clock news that it finished #1 this weekend with $55 million so far Best line of the movie "You all got it wrong! I'm NOT stuck in here with you......YOU'RE stuck in here with ME!!! Anyone catch the "Hungover" preview beforehand.....The Mike Tyson part?!? Freakin' HILARIOUS!!!! "Hold on......This is my favorite part!! Craaaaacckkkk!!"

So I jump on I-75 between Bowling Green & Perrysburg, about 6:55 this evening. As I'm coming up on the 75/23 split at the mosque a few minutes later, the radio starts givin' that National Weather Service buzzer. I'm thinkin' it's just gonna be a message about how the Blanchard River in Findlay is reaching flood stage. Skies have finally cleared & it's actually sunny out right now I proceed to listen that there is a TORNADO WARNING for Lucas(Toledo) & upper Wood County, with funnel clouds already sighted. Hmmm....I'm in upper Wood County, just south of Lucas. OK....They've got my attention. Next thing they say is it's a fast moving storm at ~ 65-70mph, & is moving over Whitehouse & heading NE towards Maumee, Perrysburg, Rossford at approximately 7-7:15 Ummmmmm......I just left Whitehouse & it's about 5 miles behind me, and I'm coming into Perrysburg NOW, with Rossford about 5 miles in front of me......Annnnd HOLY SHIT.....I forgot to move the clock up an hour so it's not really 6:00 but instead 7:00!!! OK....No biggy.....still looks sunny & much more clear than earlier. Ohhhhhh CRAP......What's that noise.....Faint....Is it just my imagination?!? Let me roll the window down & get a better listen.....NOPE.....Those are tornado sirens I'm hearin'!! Need to get ahold of my mom!! Baby Fonz stayed with grandma last night, and we're supposed to meet in Perrysburg for the swap.....Right in the middle of a freakin' tornado! Call her house....machine....leave message. Call her cell....Not turned on yet. Wash...Rinse...Repeat....X like 5. C'mon mom.....Turn on your damn phone before it's too late!!! Finally she turns her phone on & answers. I get them turned around, so at least I know they're safe & not heading right into it with me from the opposite side. Nowwww.....Where the hell do I go?!? Need to get off 75 quick & find someplace suitable to hole up. Pull into a little gas station convenience mart, but decide it's not big enough. Sirens still blaring....Louder now. Bass Pro Shop is right back here & pretty big, but who knows if they're still open this late on a Sunday, and I don't have time to drive back there & get bad news. Couple hotels on 795....Probably my best option. Miss the damn access road, so like an idiot, have to drive over 75 and back, as there's no other place to turn around & go back, and nothing stout looking on the west side. Lovely place to be when funnel clouds are coming up on you....Sitting on top of a freakin' overpass!! Finally get the right road, and go into the lobby. People already in there watching the local weather coverage on TV. According to radar, looks like the very bottom red part of the storm cloud is coming right over us & hitting downtown Toledo. Take another look outside, and just in that minute or 2 while watching the telly, it's gone from hazy sunny to VERY black!! Few minutes later the wind died back down, and the skies cleared again. VERY FREAKY!! Guess there were some touchdowns just to the west of us, but never heard of anything closer. Damn glad I decided to turn the radio on, 'cause I doubt I'd of heard the sirens with the windows up & no inclination of what was coming upon me So that's how I spent my evening. Gotta go change my shorts now!!

Actually 2.....Don't forget Ferme, just across the border in Monroe Why?!? You're not his keeper Lord knows I try....To little avail!
