Some of these challenges are pissing me off. 10,000 rounds deflected with the riot shield is only level 2 for 1000 points. I used it A LOT for things like semtex, throwing knife, and melee challenges and I'm just at 5,000. I thought it was rough getting over 50 miles for Marathon, now level 6 is over 100 miles, nuts! I hit level 50 and I've stopped playing as much, my play time online is a few hours over 1 day. I'd like to get Spec Ops done but the guy I play with doesn't like them at all, and some are just retarded. The subtleties are starting to get to me, and teammates letting me die so they can run up for a knife or whatever is pissing me off a lot.

Nope. Accidents happen. If it's 6" add a wooden plug. Only time I've made a guy pay me back for a broken stick was when he shot a tape ball in the locker room and snapped the blade off on a bench. If it happens during a game then nuts.

I'd like to gripe about people who have ads with pictures that have things not for sale in them. If you have real pictures you obviously can take new ones and if it's being sold you should stop using it and the pictures should reflect the condition to be sold in. Not to bash on you, but in the future save yourself the headaches and just take fresh pictures that only show the item being sold.

Try a snake. We ended up getting a stronger solvent that wasn't commercially available for our shower, but from what I gather that has potential to kill some pipes.

Today we hosted Northern Michigan for an MTU/NMU IDPA match. I felt I shot really well compared to how I normally do. I will be happy with top 5. If only in scenario 4 i put all my groups up 6 inches! I put them on top of each other but I was in the center of the low -1 region. Scenario 1 really killed me though- we had two targets that both had cover and anything but -0 shots counted as procedural errors. GRRR.

Happy to hear that. Hopefully you don't have much more recovery to go.

I had my helmet pulled off via the chin of the cage by a girl who played for her college team. Thought it was really weird, one of the few high sticks I've taken and it pulled the cage up over my face and my loose chin strap caught and let the helmet sit precariously atop my head.

Did you buy one? I have a few spares around the house I believe. I've also got a WD IDE HDD that I'm not using. It's old and might not be reliable, but it'll be enough to do a second install on in case you get toasted again and need a backup.

Doubled up on Percocet, having a ball just sitting here. Gotta love the little things in life like drugged up time wasting while sitting in a campus computer lab.

Did that this past April during a tourney in Charleston. It sucks, but I guess it's the price you pay for getting that drunk. Not everyone starts buying shots of Kettle One "for all their new friends" after the 8th drink. I've had one of those- went back in the next day to figure out what I did, turns out it was poor handwriting on the bill and I spent $65.20 not $652. Fun night though.

Sweet God, I just read about your last time... I think you win the venting thread. Did they give you any advice last round to avoid another? It appears unsuccessful. Avoid salt and red meat, and told me the odds of getting another. They say if you get one you'll probably get another. Went to see a urologist today. Lots of waiting, pissed in a cup, talked to the doc for all of a minute, set up a CT scan for tomorrow. No script for pain pills :( I'm down to 8 pills, so I need to ration or go see a different doc, go through the paces of explaining every thing, probably have my tender nuts handled again, just to get a few Vicodin. They really hate handing out Percocet, but the vicodin really isn't cutting it anymore.

I've taken to running my hands in the sink and then sticking them in the gloves before skating to work them loose a little bit. I take my bottle and send a squirt down my back, into my forehead vent, on my face, and into each glove. Wet when I start means nothings different through the skate. I especially hate gloves that are kinds dry and crusty.

God damn insomnia. I got up at 8am Monday, and here it is 3am Tuesday and I'm wide awake. I'll also be heading to the hospital tomorrow. If my suspicion is right it's another round of kidney stone(s) for me. If not something is wrong, god damn nuts feel like they're 10 pounds each and I've got a knife going from my right lower back toward my junk. Just like February, that turned out to be very wonderful. Here's the story from last time.

Now you just need to get a whip antenna and you'll be another "unmarked cop or old man?" cars on the highway.

Check your fuses, take the ABS one as well, that's about as useful.

OK, it has a 350 block, exhaust, rims, and what else? Headers, carbs, timing, and what bolted onto the block? New rear end? New transmission? How many miles on the current engine, how many on everything else, how many owners has it had, and what sort of life has it had? What do you intend to do with it besides "rarely drive it"? If you want it for the drag strip and doing donuts, well then go ahead. If you want to cruise around blowing up skirts with a V8 exhaust note, then by all means get it. If you intend to do some "spirited" driving that includes turning, look somewhere else for fun. A 5-year old Accord will be more fun in the corners. The 80's were a bad time for American cars that didn't race in NASCAR. The breaks will fade quickly, especially if the car has extra weight from a beefed up drivetrain. A stock tranny and shaft will most likely not like the drop-in power, not a whole lot of cars can just take a bigger engine without other work being done. I don't know if this is one, you need to do your research. You said it's mint, but in what way? It shines in the light and has no visible damage, so it must be good. The body needs to be checked for damage, repairs, etc. You're also not going to be getting any of today's safety features. No airbags, probably no ABS, maybe 3-point belts. I only mentioned the Focus because an 80's car will not drive like anything today. It will have lots of body roll, understeer, vague steering, slow shifts, long stopping distances, etc.

It looks like this and you want to know if we think it's a good, reliable car to be rarely driven? Why? Who would restore a 1987 Monte Carlo? And how is being fitted with aftermarket exhaust (and an engine?) being fully restored? By the way, you don't need to drive a car to have it rust, so yes, rust is a problem, especially if the owner has ever taken it out on winter roads or wet roads and not properly rinsed the undercarriage off. And also especially if it's an 80's domestic. Unless you're going to drag race it I think you're going to be sorely unhappy with the braking, shifting (if it has a period transmission), steering, seats (assuming they're not race seats), etc. You can probably get a 2002 3-door focus that is more fun to drive around town, then just dump on a turbo if you want to lay down rubber.

How is it not ironic? 420 stands for the 20th of April, the unofficial day for marijuana. Not only that, but the amount of money he stole to buy pot, for you to not see the irony is almost as stupid as the kid himself. ...and the reason chippa asked for the definition of "irony" comes out fully. We'll use a simple one - incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs - after reading that please don't call me stupid. And yes, I'm fully aware of 420, 4:20, and April 20th and what it means to potheads. We'll give you a quick example of irony; The head of a major anti-drug campaign is arrested for possession. The person who is the last one expected to have and use drugs is implicated in doing exactly that, how ironic.

Define asshole. It's a forum, leave him be. Agreed. It's a forum, quit being the damn comma grammar nazi chippa because no one cares I care, as I believe the butchering of our language is one of the biggest problems in the US that can be corrected with minimal effort. If a child purposefully stole $420 from his parents it is not ironic to buy marijuana with that money. In the spirit of the thread; awesome lightning storm off the coast of Lake Superior this evening. Don't usually get a show with my beer on the deck.

I got my German minor after 3 semesters at college. 3 years later I can't speak a word or translate anything. Unlike engineering you need what you learn in class!

It snows 6 months out of the year where I live, but that's not my only reason for going AWD on my wagon. Unless your definition of "normal" still encompasses juveniles looking to see who's got the bigger foot at the stoplight. I can attribute my AWD to getting me out of several circumstances that 2wd vehicles could not pass where snow wasn't present. Modern stability control may be the answer, but more and more family cars aren't coming with optional AWD just for the snowbelt drivers. Then again, I can also attribute the damn turbo to my accident last year.

Looks to me that they're still adding cuff length, and are going with slightly longer fingers, making up the hand size with a slightly taller palm. They are certainly longer in the fingers than their 14" counterparts, but if that's just done with palm and gussets or actual sizing of the padding I don't know. Simply adding cuff is prohibitive for me, I need a 15" glove but not one that has a cuff flair halfway up my forearm. This was my biggest peeve of the PPF+ and the One90 15". Both gloves were awesome in the hand, but if the cuff was the same from a 14" they'd be perfect. I'm too cheap to do custom work.

I destroyed one of those outside Philly. Might have been an '06 T in deep blue. 300 : Smashed to the firewall Volvo wagon : missing a bumper

Not quite that far north. It's a Hardees off M-26 in Northern (and I mean real northern) Michigan. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source....150391&z=6

First nice day today in two weeks, and me with nothing but a case of beer that needs finishing B) . Tomorrow is hopefully going to be as nice and spent breaking in my new SigSauer at the range. Too bad my golfing buddy is out of town this weekend.
