define "hookup."

define "hookup."

think "plug" and "outlet"

think "plug" and "outlet"

Like the sewage hookup for motorhomes?

Reagan thought so. Called ketchup a "vegetable" in school lunches back in the day.

define "hookup."

Y'know...like, whatever...and stuff.

Just because I act like it from time to time does not mean I'm not from a trailer park, you know? :rolleyes:

Rant.
I didn't know you can get completely free medical care here even if you're working and able to get insurance from your employer or able to afford to buy your own insurance.
I was just talking about a film I saw the other day called Sicko with a couple of my co-workers this morning where that idiot Michael Moore compares the health care system here in the US to countries with their "wonderful" socialized health care system.
My co-worker's husband who happens to work for a local Federal Gov't agency elected to not participate in their health program for his entire family because he can get completely free health care from one of the many local clinics here. Just bring in a utility bill and sign an affidavit stating how poor you are and you're in the "program". Once in the program you're set, with regular timely appointments. This co-worker had surgery about a year ago, not a dime out of her pocket.....oh, and that includes dental care as well. People tell me this sort of thing is common.....and I'm not even talking about illegal aliens! WTF!!?? This is sick.

Rant.


Roadfix is ranting? :eek:

If he was still The Fixer, the problem would have been dealt with by now.

Roadfix is ranting? :eek:That's what happens when you stop riding regularly...:p

That's what happens when you stop riding regularly...:p

Oh, so true....and you also become a pudgy, bloated, *****y female with a nasty attitude and hairy legs.

Not that I know anything about that, mind you.

Just dropped off my parents at the docks for their Hawaiian cruise. Now I have to cook! Luckily, my dad made enough pre-cooked, now-frozen food to last me a week. Hehe.

Not that I know anything about that, mind you.Well then let me tell you about another co-worker whose brother is an illegal alien (she's not), also in the "program", and is about to receive a kidney transplant at UCLA.
I need to go ride....

Bought hungry man dinners and re-packed 'em....

Well, Drew, honey, you need either a good woman to cook for you or to buy salad makings. Frozen dinners are not healthy to have on a regular basis!

Dave, learn to cook a decent meal. Chicks dig guys who can cook....:DI tried... but then I got addicted to a new hobby called "cycling". :lol:

Make the following:
Hot Sweet wings
Garlicky cheesy fries
Meatball sands
Pastrami Eggs Benedict
Beef Sate


Do it...do it tonight.

he means newly refined hobby cuz he's sporting a new colnago CLX

The Garlicky Cheesy Fries is tempting...

Y'know...like, whatever...and stuff.

no...i dunno.

think "plug" and "outlet"

so...what would be the difference between triathlete hookup and farkbuddy?

Thanks, Mo'.

I've ridden the Colnago CLX twice. It is much smoother than my C'dale. But for some reason, the C'dale seems more 'fun'. Feels like I can 'throw it around the block'. I'm not sure it's because I'm babying the CLX much more because of the price, or if it's due to other factors. Same wheels, bars, and all. The only diff is the 1" higher bar on the CLX. I'll try to get it lowered soon. No regrets on the CLX purchase though. :)

Maybe you need to dent it to really enjoy it? Unfortunately that usually doesn't work as well with carbon fiber.

duration and expectations - with a "hookup" you don't have to manage any expecations, you just put the plug in the outlet and light up the room. With the farkbuddy, the plug is in the outlet on a regular basis, but you'd better manage the outlet's expecations on how many times that plug is coming and whether or not the plug will be staying for breakfast in the morning, wants to meet the outlet's friends or not and if there is any possible future for a combined energy-saving agreement.

*shudder*

ugh...

i don't know that i've ever been in a relationship that went anything like that.

You're a hopeless romantic. You make it sound as fun as a major dental procedure.

Sounds so complicated. :p

I said nothing about a relationship! :eek: We were speaking of hookups and farkbuddies.

Well, with a mouth and lips the size of mine, it often is.

Maybe the CLX is too big?

Maybe the CLX is too big?Oh no! Not the same sizing dilemma that you have! :lol:

I think the size is ok. Same dimension as my C'dale from the spec as well from a left/right comparison.

I thought you were talking about electrical wiring...;)

Speaking of electrical wiring, a new article about the theft of copper wires from streetlights.

whats for dinner????

whats for dinner????

beef

pork chops and rice for me

most likely some left over pupusas for me...

Well, with a mouth and lips the size of mine, it often is...



what size are they?

what size are they?

Dude, clearly I have not made an impression on you. :rolleyes:

I have heart-shaped lips and a very, very, very tiny mouth, but big teeth. :o

Let's just say, sucking on a popsicle can present an issue when the popsicle is large. I pretty much have to lick the sides and suck off the tip to get it to melt. But I've encountered some pops so thick, I could barely get my lips around them.

whats for dinner????

chicken and broccoli stir-fry and a glass of red wine

I tried... but then I got addicted to a new hobby called "cycling". :lol:

Meh.

I have a serious biking problem and cook dinner nearly every day (buy lunch though).

When my GF is in town, who cooks is determined by who gets hungry first. Since we both have about the same power/weight, and do the same rides together (mostly climbing) it gets interesting.

Question: Is there such a device as a digital to analog converter so I can hook up my laptop's USB port to a stereo receiver instead of using the headphone jack on the laptop?

OK, just stop right there with the innuendo! You've won! You can't possibly go further. It's all downhill from there. Retire!

What the hell are you talking about? :rolleyes:

That isn't innuendo. I'm talking about a popsicle.

However, as for going further and downhill, well....:p

Yes. USB sound card. Comes in the form of USB memory stick size or a book-sized external box with a USB connection. :)

Our 13 year old daughter is looking over my shoulder...I better close the browser before I get in trouble for reading this thread! ("mommmmmm!")

yes.

edit: Google found me this: http://www.vpi.us/cgi-bin/vpi/usb-audio.html in a few seconds.

I bet you can find one for less, and I know you can find them for more (I have a fancy one that does 24 bit/96kHz and nice preamps on A/D inputs)
