I had a Big Wheel, but it had a coaster brake. We lived on a pretty steep hill (as was my driveway). Mine lasted about a year before I wore through the solid plastic tires. I would go as fast as I could down the hill and slam on the brakes trying to smoke them, causing a spin out. It was loads of fun until I broke my arm for the first time.

Next person that tries to engage me in a conversation about their gun control conspiracy theories, i'm going to shoot them in the face.

Sorry i just needed someplace to vent this, if i said it in person they might ship me off to the mental ward.

Um, this is not a good place either. Probably the only acceptable place is P&R. I know . . . sorry!

i'm trying to find an accurate picture of my first bike. it was orange and pink, with a banana seat and ape hanger bars and coaster brakes. we lived on a dead end street with no traffic. it was a slight hill and i was the neighborhood champ for length of skid marks in the middle of the street. didn't break my arm until i discovered horses, but i have some permanent scars on my knees.

Why, do you tape hockey sticks, too?

I can't say for certain I've ever handled a real hockey stick. Just plastic ones to play gym hockey.

I saw a player agent "source" cited as saying a deal could be announced this weekend. Guess he wasn't a very good source.

Beats me. It's time for them to get off the pot, one way or the other.

I lived in Massachusetts in the 70s. All kids in our neighborhood were required to play street hockey, so I had a hockey stick.

I don't think I have the authority to change other people's avatars.

I only rode Big Wheels after midnight. I would only get 2, maybe 3 runs out of one before the front wheel split in two, as the hills at Red Rocks Amphitheater were pretty steep. If one was lucky enough to make the final hairpin, it was full speed ahead down to the hogback.

I sold some misc. crap on eBay. A guy from NJ bought some old toy trucks that I had and has not paid. I was getting ready to report him and fire off a nastygram, but thought I might check his buying history first.

He has been buying a lot of parts for a sten gun. I think I will handle it softly. Jeebus.

I have a nighttime howler, but more annoying is the 7mo old boys. I forgot to close the bathroom door for 20 min last evening. Got up to go into the closet and found an entire roll of toilet paper shredded in the middle of the walk in closet. With 2 grinning cats. A-holes.

We leave the bathroom door open for 20 minutes and our lone boy (cat) will take a crap in the tub. Not sure which is better.

I'll take the shredded toilet paper. Cat poop is disgusting.

I am very disappointed with this forum. I lobbed a softball over the plate and the best response was "what's the problem" by gomer. Weak sauce guys. Weak sauce.

I assumed that kind of clientele is standard fare for a New Jerseyian.
