    HOLY SHIT READ THIS!!! it could save your life

    have you all seriously never heard of this before (we used to call it crop-duster). This has been known for a long time. Its classified with other over the counter, readily available inhalents. It can also kill you by freezing your lungs (if the can is inverted). There are so many inhalents...

    Quick Q abouit Warrenty

    basically it will depend on the shop. They should all have records of sales, but some shops ill be better than others. Also, if the shop knows you, you chances are better. Hell, if you have good ties to a shop, sometimes they'll even warranty something you bought at another shop. life is too...

    Death

    that's actually an awesome parable. My mentality (after too many close calls, and many family/friend deaths) is that you cannot live without dying. To die is a part of living, every creature has its time. The important thing is to enjoy every second you can and learn from the seconds that you...

    Exremely fast driving

    I've hit excess of 140 mph in both cars and on bikes. This is why I no longer allow myself on rice rockets (I also hit 120 in a 30 and didn't realize just how fast I was going) or allow myself to have a fast car. Thankfully, I haven't hurt myself or anyone else and never got caught (but had to...

    Statistical differences in base composition

    Something to keep in mind, I believe there is basically one company worldwide that produces all the P-Tex that is used by the ski/snowboard industry. My understanding is that there are mainly 3 standards (most used) for bases, Extruded, P-Tex 2000 and P-Tex 4000. The biggest difference has to...

    Resisting arrest... women

    I believe most states have automatic arrest/impound when the speed limit is doubled (which can be as stupid as doing 40 in a school zone or as much as 130 on a 65 mph highway) life is too short to have any regrets

    Resisting arrest... women

    he said she was plled over for speeding, broken windshield, taillight out, and no seatbelt. To me he seemed more than appropriate. She however was totally in the wrong. By refusing to close her door, that can be construed as an indirect threat to the officers safety and potential for the girl...

    Favorite things to do in walmart

    you gotta go late night, when the employee's have nothing to do. If you notice them following you (which they often do) play hide and seek with em and scare the hell out of them. And when they follow you, because they think you're shoplifting, put everything you're going to buy in your...

    Tattoos

    as was already said, remember they are permanent, even though there are removal services now, they don't always work (some inks cannot be removed) and they hurt about 10 times more than getting it done (and you have to have th treatment multiple times) and they leave scar tissue where the tat...

    Where where You 9/11?

    Don't feel bad, I was out of HS, had woken up a little late, and rushed out the door only catching a quick mention of a plane that had hit the WTC by Matt Lauer on the Today show. Hoped in my truck, put on Howard Stern and realized just what had happened. I got to work and there was a TV on...

    04/05 Seth Pistols

    being an ce coaster myself, I'd say if you want em, get em. I have 03/04 Pistols and found tem to be fine on teh east. There will be times that you will feel the ski leveraging your boots a bit (from being up on edge) but there will also be times that you love the fact that you have them (when...

    Public enemy

    I wouldn't say they suck by any means. They are a bit different than previous years and I found the 05/06 PE to have a smaller sweet spot than previous years but they were still a great ski. I only got to ride my 05/06 PE's a couple times and went to a 179 from 169 and have them mounted with...

    Favorite topic in history

    I thought Mythology (various) subjects were the most interesting, but that isn't so much history as it could fall under religious studies/literature. Howeer, in world history, I would have to cay that ancient Chinese (and japanese) intrigued me the most, especially sudies on ancient technology...

    An end to our energy problems(?)

    His statement that we don't have enough cold makes a lot of sense. However, one concern of mine would be the depth at which he takes the deep water. As is, the deep water channel has already been figured out/found, but that creates worry, because they know that it is shutting down, which would...

    Name a street... anyone want to help?

    who decides that winning street name? That could have a lot to do with what wins. If its voted on by everyone (town), something passive/normal will proably win, if its decided by local governement, something historic or relative to the area it goes in would proably win, or if its something the...

    Another dui

    actually I guess the DUI bicycle is more common than I thought, when seeing if I could find a link to it, I came across the following for CO: The law has changed from operating a motor vehicle to operating a vehicle. Prosecutors are now charging "DUI Bicycle" (from...

    Another dui

    word to the wise, I guess you can get a DUI while on a bicycle too. There was a guy in NH (it was in local papers) that was riding his bicycle home from the bar drunk, because he had already lost his license to a DUI. Needless to say the cops gave him a DUI and other charges (drunk in public...
