  1. This thing is cool in a "my grandmother once had a green monte carlo that was cool," kinda way. It had 8ft long doors, adjustable mirrors (wiggle the little sticklever on the inside), brown carpet, windows you couldn't really see out of, a hood ornament, big fucking engine that could turn fuel into heat but not power, and little tires. It didn't do anything really well unless you count burning gas and causing door dings. I wish I had it now, but I'm not sure what the hell I would do with it other than look at it and say "what the fuck were we thinking."
  2. I had a pad on the handlebar bracket that covered this thing We were certain at that age that, if our testicles ever made contact with the handlebar bracket, we would die instantly. The rest was fair game.
  3. It goes like this JMC Hutch/PK Ripper Redline The rest of you poors. Huffy. About the only thing I can say about those Huffy bikes is that whoever was in charge of the styling... an attempt was made. Heavy, shit components, a bunch of unnecessary things like chain guards and reflectors, fake silver paint instead of chrom-oly (whatever the hell that is). The modern day equivalent would be Hisense or maybe the giza sheet commercial guy.
  4. If it was in the yard or the garage it was considered bike ramp construction materials. Boards, bricks, boxes, dad's old TR6. Redline 600a ftw! Those poors with their huffy's, diamondbacks and raleighs couldn't fly like I could.

  6. Find the cheapest vrbo you can either in poipu or near hanalei on Kauai and go fuck off for a while. Learn to eat a plate lunch https://www.parrishkauai.com/103260/plate-lunch-kauai/ Skip the expensive ass Hinano or cocktails and just drink cheap rum or whiskey. Skip the Arizona. Skip the helicopter ride. If you want to impress your friends buy a Cartier watch. If you want a cool experience, do Kauai on the super cheap. Beaches, hiking and drinking is the way to go.
  7. If you've seen both in person, then you know this is correct and it's not a close call.
  8. Casually dated a few girls from that neck of the woods in my younger days, including the daughter of a shrimp boat employee from Port Aransas ("let's go by my house to meet Jed/Daddy"), and a ginger who worked the drive-thru at the Rockport Burger King. Also watched my dad evict a fishing guide from a rent house for non-payment of rent and then, watched said fishing guide return a few months later to get his lady's Christmas decorations out of the attic. I felt sorry for the guy - his message was basically, "I'm not paying the rent, and whatever you are going to do to me, do it, because I'm not leaving here without the Christmas decorations." No violence was threatened but I felt like that dude was cornered. Weird group of people sums it up nicely and I can sincerely say, I've seen some shit.
  9. And am I plugging this into the pedal port on the back of the amp, or in line from the guitar to the amp? If the answer is, "buy it and give it to your kid - let him figure it out," I understand.
  10. Kid has Boss Katana MK2 50 and a Airstep Kat pedal. now he wants an expression pedal - wah. recommendations? If possible I would like to buy a decent one that he’ll keep for a while. Not something specific to particular amp/pedal.
  11. What are the rules for a second home? Is 20% down required or are there lower down options? income/debt rules?

    Colonoscopy

    It is amazing that someone hasn't come up with a better flavor for that shit. Lemon laguna madre flavor is what I got. Why not hide that shit in some french onion soup? Salty and I can eat the f out of some FOS. If not that, some miso soup. A little different, not exactly mom's chicken soup, but way way better than the current option. I would slurp either one of those down with a smile.
  13. They really need to have alcohol flowing 24/7 on this set.
  14. Disclaimer - Not a CPA, but I think the penalty for late filing a gift tax return is based on the amount of tax due. So, if it was a gift that didn’t trigger gift tax … no tax was due and one could now file a late gift tax return, without penalty. Then, springboard off that sumbitch right into a basis equal to the value of the date of the gift, which probably should match the date of the deed. Et Voila!
  15. The proper response to aggy is "oh yeah, well then where is the real one?"
  16. In theory an ashram and an assram are very different. In practice, there may be significant overlap.
  17. There is a giant ashram in Driftwood on the way to the Salt Lick. They used to have a deity they rolled out every afternoon, a Swami, peacocks and the whole shit. I think there was a trial and a fugitive hunt and what not. I’m sure they still use the building for religious purposes but my work there is done.
  18. Did you uh, order the code red?
  19. I googled it. Apparently the rule changed in 22 and they’re not required to screen for that anymore. I’m not going back through my emails but I’m pretty sure the last time I donated blood was early ‘23 and they asked me the question. When will they start asking “how often do you consume deer meat?”
  20. If positive do they destroy it or just give you some warning label? Or is it already in your possession?
  21. A year ago it was ”were you in the UK for 180 days or more from the years —- to —-.” I was there about 160 in 1996 so I answer truthfully - “no,” but mark me down as skeptical that the threshold solves much. A person that was there 120 days eating nothing but beef is probably a bigger issue that a person who was there 400 days as a vegan.
  22. The common understanding was that CWD wasn't passed to humans but, with this article, it seems like there may be more to the story. If you were presented with deer meat from a captive herd where some deer had tested positive for CWD, would you eat it?
  23. when I donate blood they ask me all the questions about things and one is about time in England during mad cow BSE. I pass their question but wonder, “why are they still asking me 25 years later? Now, similar disease is all around us. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/04/19/zombie-deer-disease-hunters-died-infected-venison/73384647007/ Anybody know anything meaningful? Anybody stop eating deer meat?
  24. DeKalb, Texas. Also the place where Ricky Nelson crashed his plane after it caught on fire (read - he may have caught it on fire smoking coke next to a gasoline heater).

    Colonoscopy

    My experience was sorta like this, except I was consciously trying to record the memory and experience what it felt like when the juice kicked in. I've never shot junk like the drag rats with their needle habits. I figured this was as close as I would get. Wanted to experience it - curiosity and what not. In my mind it was going to be like when you're really really drunk, and then fade to black. Multiple steps down the ladder to darkness. I even told the nurse that and she said "some people say it burns in their arms, some say cold." I was ready to ride the white horse like Lou Reed and Townes Van Zandt. This was my moment - I was laser focused. Then, 1. My arm feels something - I'm getting the juice. 2. Wake up. 3. What the f happened? I missed it. If they have something stronger on the doctor's drug cart, keep that shit away from me. This stuff was like a light switch. I can see why Michael Jackson and Prince got hooked on this stuff. It's a weird control thing. No lying in bed counting sheep, no "I wonder what I have to do tomorrow? Did I remember to set an alarm? What's that noise I heard?" Just I/O.
