No bites in 1.25 hours of fishing this morning.

I've had to turn off avatars because of some people's (ahem) inappropriate-for-work pictures or animations (not that I'm really complaining). Now it's harder for me to tell who is talking, I'm used to just looking at avatars and knowing.

I've had avatars and sigs off for a couple months now

Likewise, the only downside from it is when Dave habitually changes my sig and profile info every couple weeks or so, I don't know about it until someone tells me

I used to get all kinds of crap at work from the nurses about the bouncing tits.

Four pucking AM...

Waking up later is not going to be fun.

found a long quote

I love blockquotes

great first scoot. i loved my 73 cb750k. easy to mod, easy to ride, though a little heavy and clumsy for the driving test if it's your first bike. though the 500 should be a bit lighter on it's feet. how much is he asking? in great shape, with that age, i'd expect somewhere in the $1200-1500 range.

He says a lot's been replaced in the last 1000mi, runs smooth, but is asking $1850 Which seems really steep for a Honda built in 1973, no matter what the condition is...I've got $900 free and clear right now, $1200 seems like a doable offer in a couple weeks.

$1850 is a bit steep. he's banking on people wanting the better fuel mileage. $1200 sounds like a good offer, but $900 is roughly half his asking, and that's where i always start.

good luck with that jim, that is a good bike to start on.

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Can't believe some of those damn BlackBerry phones are still $300 on a three year contract. My current contract is up in December ... long way away, but if I'm going to sign a three yeat contract they better give me a free phone. Hopefully there will be some decent deals during the holidays.

mine's up in october, can upgrade all three in august and i'm already digusted with phone pricing. seriously thinking about buying three phones off ebay and not sweating a contract.

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

not nearly drunk enough

I drank enough for both of us...

[topgun 262]

Things I learned from the 4th this year:

151 Makes a great lighter fluid for the grill

Beer cans don't blow up for shit

My friends are crazy

Don't try to light multiple smoke bombs in your hand at once when you've been drinking, it doesn't work to well

Some roman candles are not made to be used in a roman candle war

Starting drinking at 2pm and go till 3:30am with a half dozen shots back to back in the middle isn't advisable.

When you wake up the morning of the 5th and your ears are ringing, its the damn fireworks fault.

I need to make friends with people who have a pool because all my female friends want to go skinny dipping.

Fresh freshwater shrimp boiled in beer and old bay = the farking chit. Oh sweet lord , I chilled some of them to eat with cocktail sauce. Ice cold corona......two slices of lime........food of the gods.....mmmmhmmmm

[topgun 262]

Hmmm, care to give any more particulars on the shrimp? that sounds absolutely delicious.

[ramos 2]

We have a place locally that used to be a cat fish farm. Now they have converted half of there ponds to shrimp ponds. THe shrimp are actually a vietnamese strain. They taste great. Just like getting them from the docks ( I have ). Two cervesa's mas fina , about the same amount of water. A 1/4 to half cup of old bay depending on how spicy you want it. Boil them , takes just a couple minutes. Then throw them on some ice to drain and stop cooking. Chill them, mix up your favorite dipping sauce. and enjoy. I make a cocktail sauce with chili sauce a tiny bit of ketchup. Horseradish, minced onion, lemon juice and a little bit of lime juice. IT's the chit

[Acidburn 10]

that does sound delicious

[ramos 2]

It tis, it goes lovely with plenty of cerveza mas fina and lime
