Heh... "hoop".

Speaking of hoops... What are the prices like around town for a pair of Deep-Vs?

Your baahhhnyard antics are yours.. let's keep it that way ;) As for the bike humper, yeah - I figure let him have his fun, after all, it was merely a misunderstanding after having too much to drink :p

That Saudi law is nuts.. 200 lashes? :eek: And this poor girl was the victim :(

CR2032s are used in almost every computer system in existence. When I worked at a computer shop, doing repairs, I'd throw away hundreds of those things; don't pay more than $0.10 for one...

Energizers? Where? I know they're used for keeping the CMOS fresh but the ones that come OEM aren't exactly uBar.

I_bRAD 11-16-07 07:52 AM

kergin- where do we get them for 10 cents? That sounds like a deal I could go for!

Let 'er have it!!!

cavit8 11-16-07 09:15 AM

ooo, that's nasty. I wonder if she knows the officer who's husband was run over from behind by that truck and trailer earlier this year.

jeremywhitehorn 11-16-07 10:32 AM

crazy - did you get her badge number?

Flimflam 11-16-07 11:11 AM

Wow, that's nuts... *****y officer!

I'm not going to the CT auction afterall, last couple days with the family takes the reigns.

Almost got catapulted yesterday, heading across an intersection (King/Tecumseth or Niagara) and I was taking the right lane of King - some pillock decided it was fun to try and thrash from the left lane (he was in the middle of the intersection still, traffic was backed up) and come into me and my lane. Not sure how close, the cyclist behind me commented it was close - probably a couple inches spare though - he got a very shocked "HEY!" but I carried on, didn't see the point in stopping to yell at someone to use their mirrors - doubt it'd change anything.

lol hell's yeah :D

i didn't get the actual badge #, but i got a clear shot of the plate. i only had my crappy cell phone, so you can't see that much detail through the windshield.

bad enough when a driver doesn't know the rules of the road... but when it's "i've got a badge get outta my way" it just goes to another level!
