well, finally it happened. some moron red neck apparently forgot what that red sign that says "stop" means and nearly hit me while i was going through a four way stop. i stopped, began going and a pick up came up a hill at >30mph and didn't flinch going past the stop sign. i flash my high beam, honk my horn and slam on both my brakes, ultimately tipping my bike over. fucker watched me stand up and flick him off and pull out my cell phone to call the police in his rear view mirror. unfortunately i was unable to get his plate number or even a reasonable description because i was too busy falling over and not being severely injured by a 2 ton pick up truck.

i called the police station and reported it.

well, i'm still widely pissed because despite my extremely careful nature, one bar hopping inbreed is all it takes to ruin everything you attempt to avoid.

but i have to say. training, even for local police in keeping calm must be fucking intense!

i was yelling and mumbling and shaking while talking on a cell phone, screaming obscenities about inbreeding and some drunk fuck barhopping through town and the officer didn't miss a beat. he calmed me down a bit even in his tone.

i dont think the guy was really drunk, i told the officer that after. i wouldn't want to lie, but i was pissed and it was one of the string of insults i could think of at the time.

I doubt the driver would be found. "late model, off white...um stripes maybe? gmc...or chevy pick up truck..." isn't exactly a very definitive answer to the questions. if i see the truck again, (i've seen it in the area before, but i have to SEE it) and if he does the same thing, i'll pay more attention, so that maybe somebody will learn a fucking lesson about that fat pedal next to the accelerator.

i'm glad that i was paying attention, because even at intersection speeds, being T-boned riding a motorcycle by a full size pick up truck doesnt exactly have me as the winner of that battle.

my bike is fine. as i said, i was so caught off guard, that i just spazzed and hit my brakes. i wasn't going fast enough and i was already turning. my back wheel skidded around and i just tipped over more from going too slow and being too concerned about not going anymore forward that it tipped...no damage. i got my leg out of the way. luck i didn't fall to the right though, i'd of gotten some pretty nasty burns from the exhaust pipe

Reminds me of the tens of thousands of Argentinian jokes out there, one of which is:

A depressed Argentinian believed that his life was worthless and decided to put an end to it by jumping off from the top of his ego.

At the 34th day of free fall, he died from starvation.

:D

There are no jokes about us :(

I wear a cup when I fence, let alone when I'm shooting balls of paint at other people.

hasn't happened yet and tempting fate is just so much more fun. i generally end up playing in a t-shirt if camo is not neccessary (and if i don't have to go through bushes and the like).

I've never rode on a motorcycle, but being from an entire state full of of inbred drunk rednecks who drive pick up trucks, and being hit by said rednecks at 4 way stops, I do understand how you feel.

Sorry Mal. Go get some rest if you can. I can imagine you are pretty shook up.

i say we pass a motion making SevenSeize the official regular's lounge thread mother.

i'm not sure the Japanese ever really recovered from their loss in WWII.

walking, you get used to it. dont cross, ever ever ever ever ever ever EVER if you see a car coming. with a helmet and leather you sometimes feel a little more like you're driving a car than on a glorified bicycle.

i'm a little wound up. I took some sleep pills. and i should be out eventually.

luckily i dont have to work until 12 tomorrow

While it is true that the Japanese are two sandwiches short of a picnic lunch, that horrid, horrid video seems to be finnish.

I have the cleanest rats in town :)

My boys groom themselves pretty regularly, and every few weeks I give them some water to splash in, so they're fairly clean beasties in general. Their cage gets cleaned once a week. I always wash my hands after handling them, so I hadn't really noticed that their fur was kind of oily. But my sister came to visit, and commented on it, and that got me wondering...can you wash a rat?

According to the internets, yes, yes you can.

I went to Petsmart and looked at rodent shampoos (yes, they make rodent shampoo), but they were all baby powder scented. Ew. So I got ultra-mild kitten shampoo instead, because that's supposed to be safe for them.

Today was the grand experiment. I filled some bowls with lukewarm water and set them in the bathtub, then put the boys in the tub and let them wander around. Got them lathered up, rinsed off, and carefully dried. Atahualpa was scared and confused and kept squeaking at me, but once I started drying him he calmed down and made happy cooing noises. van Buren was having the time of his life.

They're like dogs - when they get wet, they shake. So I got a bath too :) I snuggled them up in towels until they were all dry, cleaned their cage, and put them back inside. They're so soft and shiny now! Yay!

This time was kind of a test run, but next time I will try to get bathtime pictures or video.

Yeah, I've got a classmate who's a San Lorenzo fan (he came from Capital) and he did the usual, singing, arm shaking, chair throwing, that corresponds to winning a championship.

Good to hear your ok.
One of my best friends got T boned in an intersection in Dartmouth a couple years ago, his right leg now ends 6 inches below his knee. They were able to save the knee, he spent the better part of a year recovering.

Keep your eyes out for the dick head , in your area.
If you can get him off the streets , you might just save yourself or somebody you don't know a lot of grief.

No hicks, just 90 pound housewives who have advanced degrees and don't work. Lazy...

travel out of your suburb and you'll realize the northeast is just as bad(hick is a NE term anyway...)

vermont may not be known for it, but they have some wicked white trash, same with new hampshire and maine. maine is bad...

I wish my pet doves... they REALLY hate it, and so it takes time and technique to wash them. Because they will try to fly away and to jump out of hand... how do I describe the situation?

Try giving a bath... to a soap bar that's covered in oil. You just need to know-- or else you can hurt the birds.

I've washed the white ones 3 days ago... man, are they white right now... I use baby shampoo so they smell very nice too...

So I got a bath too :) I snuggled them up in towels until they were all dry, cleaned their cage, and put them back inside. They're so soft and shiny now! Yay!

yeah-- me too. I shower up after I've washed the birdies. Because I'm already wet.
It takes hours for them to dry up, and so I have to snuggle them too (or my sister.) Must be kept away from drafts and stuff.

I'm going to wash the dark ones tomorrow. I was going to do that today, but when I woke up I started to jog until my allergies were too bad to handle... then I went home to treadmill and forgot to wash the brown ones.

Hermione especially hates to get wet-- she's the one the puts up the biggest struggle from start to finish. The others-- well, they start to calm down after they're completly soaked. Dorian tries to hide when she sees the others getting wet by flying down to the towel bar.

This time was kind of a test run, but next time I will try to get bathtime pictures or video.

Load it up on you tube... maybe you can find people bathing their rats. I've seen a person bathing their doves on youtube and they have a whole different technique from me.

Shooting next door, Police, Ambulance, CSIs, everything, yay!!!!!!!!!!

One of them got away :(
But two of them were injured, and one was underage.

You're probably right.

Never met a hick, though, even in Vermont.

i think most touristy areas have a economically depressed population of white trash, low middle class people who drive down the public image...mostly because there aren't any career jobs in a tourist run economy. sure you can open a shop and barely scrape by...but most businesses go under in the first year. and people wonder why young adults are fleeing our area....there's no future here for us!

I have to say out of all of the regulars/vets/mods who have been around for as long as he has..he has kept his sense of humor up. he has kept the BBS amusing for everyone despite how hard it is for people to stay longer than a year or so.

I love poxpower for his really ingenious ways of keeping everyone involved (he has a topic in the Art forum where he sketches [He's a great sketch artist as well!! check it out if you have the chance soon!] where he sketches pics from movies and asks folks to name the actor/actress for a few bucks via paypal)

He is also a flash artist.

Really, he is one of the few folks around here who actually keeps the BBS interesting

I saw Reincarnation...

It was good.
Not the best... until the end.

Oh god, that doll made EVERYTHING worthwhile.

Creepy movies, in my opinion, have dolls and little girls. And a resonating lullaby that goes "la-la-la-la-lahhhh..."
