Addiction thread - January 2012
Hey everyone, trying something new for the addiction threads. From now on addiction threads (aka off topic, foo of the road) are going to be around for one month. Once a new month begins, a new thread is going to start.
The good news, the threads should stay "short" enough that there will be no need to trash them. The bad news, they will be closed.
Anyway, post away, have fun, and keep it off topic. Actually, off topic, on topic, whatever. Just enjoy.

Me. This way there are no reduced post counts or any other "problems".

Is it possible to get frostbite from riding in a thunderstorm? My hands are dumb.

Hopefully not since the threads won't be around as long. Personally, I don't see any negatives going this way. No ghost pages, no deleted threads (unless there is an exception for some reason), no reduced post counts after the new thread is created, and no loss of "quality information".

It was a surprise storm. I did wait under cover until the lightning and hail subsided. I'm dumb, but not that dumb.

Not sure I understand the question. However, to answer it. I have my wife do it.

The resolution was to attempt to make everyone happy. I realize that is impossible but at least I am trying.

I'm sure that there will be plenty of covet and rue.
