Sounds like a good way to get frostbite on your tongue.

Today I broke down the kilo and cleaned it up. Looks good. Self extracting crank bolts are the ****.

Every time I think we have a dickheaded poster I'll remember to check PR. If everyone here ended their mind-numbingly silly posts with a "" I think I'd have an aneurysm.

Finally had a day at home. The last two days were really long, and drained me completely. 10 hours of rehearsal on christmas day, three more the next morning (starting at 8 am), a 3 1/2 hour bus ride into a blizzard, a few more hours of rehearsal, and then a game that didn't get out until midnight. Home at 3:30, and my throat has been sore and I've basically been voiceless for 24 hours.

And it was all so worth it to watch my schools football team win our bowl game.
