friday in the hiz - ouse!
So yesterday I skipped outta work early to go Xmas shopping. More specifically to get a little bike for Colin. Toys R Us advertised a 14" tony Hawk kids bike that looked really cool. I dig it because the only bikes you can get little kids are ugly and have stupid cartoon characters all over them. Checked their site, they had them in stock. The store is in Cedar Rapids, about 1.25 hours north. We get to Iowa City (1 hour north of us) and the roads turn to $Hit! Took over an hour to go 17 miles. So we finally get there after our 2 hour trip, toys r us does not carry said bike!!!! :mad: On top of that, the store has gone to $Hit. HIgh ass prices, useless employees. So to make ourselves feel better for coming home with no bike. I got to eat chipotle. :) booyah. :lol:
Long night.

Indeed. A cold friday at that. But... Got to ride my rappy last night. ROde it out to Mom's to help my bro get the dirveway opened up. THe way there...fine, the way back...into the wind :lol: and there were new snowdrifts on the way back. 4ft tall Fun as hell!
NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm hoping to have the rappy out next weekend on the river!!! :clap: :nana: :nana: :nana:
sweet! do you stud your tires?
Nope, with all the snowmobiles running on the river, its all hard packed snow. Rappy runs awesome with either paddles or my XCRs.
whats up :thumbs:...anyone know some good places to buy a windshield and sissy bar for a 2009 yamaha v-star 950 ???
sissy bar will be expensive, and probably only available through Yamaha.Maybe a couple others, but still cashy. WIndshields are all over and can be bought decent price. Look up memphis shades. :thumbs:
That is what I found with my old vstar anyways.

Peels, my parents left me at school one day for like 3 hours. I was a pretty self-sufficient kid, so I didn't really freak out or go talk to anyone, just waited. Eventually EVERYONE was gone from the school but me. Staff, kids, everyone.
FINALLY they show up, with a boat in tow they'd just bought. Have you ever seen an straight pissed off, absolutely livid 10 year old ? My parents found out I knew all kinds of words they had no clue I'd ever heard that day... Thanks pops :bangfuckinhead:

And how in the hell can you fail at helping Preddy set up Wii WiFi??
turn in you geeksquad badge and :door:
I didn't try helping him.
I told him what to do, he said Wii wasn't picking up wifi signal.. I have him sound trouble shooting tips...
not my fault the wireless router is downstairs and like 30' away. its probably due to the wii having a bad wireless card inside, I told him bring the router upstairs to test.
he didn't listen.

So...
this weekend (saturday) we went tubing at a local hill. Rent an inner tube and go for 3 hours. hills were pretty fast. We had a solid group of 8 people. We'd wait for people to go down then run after them to attempt to run into them. Always fun. anyways. After a few successful runs. We were all up on top of the hill waiting and just BS'ing. this little girl comes up to one of my friends girlfriends..... and just starts freaking out how we ran into her friend and we better knock it off (this girl was Maaaayyyybeeeee 9 years old) So. she points out her friend.. We're like.. uhhh we never ran into him.. anywho.. day goes on. This little girl we noticed kept semi following us around. Our group lined up and blazed down the hill once more Except one guy stayed back, and he watched this little girl run and jump on her tube, Attempting to run into us... wtf.... lol. S he goes after her the plan was to just whooosh past her and scare her a little bit I guess. Some how he ended up on the same path as her. She stopped at the bottom waaaay before you should stop and he's heading RIGHT at her.. He bails off the tube to miss her and she stands up and looks at him and goes..... "HA HA.. You missed me..."
my friend instantly retaliates... "I could have KILLED you!!"
I instantly bust out laughing.
so, we take the tow rope to the top of the hill. sitting up there bs'ing. all of a sudden out of no where. this guy comes up to our group and just starts cussing us out. "What is your guy's f*ckin problem you f*ckin losers." I looked at him and said "WHAT are you talking about?"
"Oh, I heard you guys down there saying how you want to get some little 9 year old girl..."
my friend goes.. "Yea, that's cuz we're rapists and it's fun!"
I nearly pee'd myself! :rofl:
Was pretty funny/crazy. Total family place, bunch of little kids around and this guy just dropping the F bomb left and right... Got a good chuckle out of it.
Lol bullying little kids
Yeah, pretty much
Wife and I got 1 hour long massages yesterday.
Freaking awesome. 8)

It was girl on girl for her. 8)

I'm not allowed to type about such things. for fear of people watching.
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California has now identified with
certainty the heaviest element known to science.
The new element, Pelosium (PL), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88
deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass
of 312.
These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are
surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons.
Pelosium is inert, and has no charge and no magnetism. Nevertheless, it can
be detected because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into
contact. A tiny amount of Pelosium can cause a reaction that would normally
take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete.
Pelosium has a normal half-life of 2 years. It does not decay, but instead
undergoes a biennial reorganization in which a portion of the assistant
neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.
Pelosium mass will increase over time, since each reorganization will
promote many morons to become isodopes.
This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that
Pelosium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This
hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass.
When catalyzed with money, Pelosium becomes Senatorium, an element that
radiates just as much energy as Pelosium since it has half as many peons but
twice as many morons.
^^^ lmao!!!!
oh good point randy

Head is off the rappy. hoping to leave work early to have it sent to Bo!! :woot:
The Haircut...
One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut. After the cut, he
asked about his bill, and the barber replied, 'I cannot accept money from
you, I'm doing community service this week.
The florist was pleased and left the shop. When the barber went to
open his shop the next morning, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen
roses waiting for him at his door.
Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he tries to pay his
bill, the barber again replied, 'I cannot accept money from you, I'm doing community service this week..' The cop was happy and left the shop.
The next morning when the barber went to open up, there was a 'thank
you' card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.
Then a Congressman came in for a haircut, and when he went to pay
his bill, the barber again replied, 'I cannot accept money from you. I'm doing community service this week.' The Congressman was very happy and left the shop..
The next morning, when the barber went to open up, there were a
dozen Congressmen lined up waiting for a free haircut.
And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between
the citizens of our country and the politicians who run it.
Run Erich!!! Run!!!....
They're on your trail!! :lol:

golf sux. carry on. JK I used to play alot when I was younger, even won a tournament once. Just no time, and it became boring.
had a small meeting. I was offered a pro/de motion today. Dataprocessing/prepress. To learn the front end would be cool, but I have to use apple stuff. :( :lol:
still just a possibility, tongue in cheek offer. My direct boss would now be the guy Randy rickrolled :lol: :lol:
I told him how much I have to make, and he nearly fainted so...... we shall see. :lol:
Tell him... give you more money or the interweb nazi will seek him. :ninja:

guess what?
Looks like I get to be a nerd like randy. :lol: Big boss came out and said they want me to move into the data side of the operation. Looks like it is a go. I thought the other guy was blowin smoke up my a$$. He called me a Hodge Podge because I do so many things, might as well learn another. :lol: Help fix all these problems, and kill some of this overtime. :thumbs:
good news.
I guess the threat of rickrolls for life was enough to sway them :rofl:
:lol:
WAY awesome peelz.
Let me know if you still want me to rick roll his ass... Makes me feel good :rofl:
so, is this a good move as in.. you'll be doing less over time?

knowing more, doing less. data preparation now. Much of our problem here is lack of forethought.... COncerning how the paper is actually printed. I will be coming in with exactly that knowledge. Because of my knowledge of printers and their requirements :) Basically making the communication between office and floor clearer. :thumbs:
without looking it up Peels...

Happy Tuesday Gentlemen.
:thumbs:
Indeed, it is beautiful outside. GOing to a concert with the Mrs. tomorrow. Ever hear of Tyrone Wells? Great singer. :thumbs: Looking forward to real night out. :)
Negative. But I thoroughly enjoy concerts!
What type of music?
The wife and I haven't had much hang out time as of the last 3 weeks. She's full swing into rehearsal for a play she just got cast in. Oklahoma! She's the lead girl (whoever her name is)
So she's gone every night M-F until usually 10:30-11:00pm
I think you should bring her to LS and have her sing that song while we ride. :lol:
Pop acoustic bluesy stuff. Has some stuff on the charts. Sink or Swim is a great song or one called Patience. Look it up if ya wanna.
My brother in law runs a music merchandising site, where all this guy's stuff is available. ANd he used to work in a music placement office. selling songs for ads and video games etc. SO we'll probably get to meet him and stuff.
Looking forward to it.
Busy today sorry. Meetings with the data processing dept (D.P.) :lol: on how and when my switch might take place.
THis is the area I complain so much about when we are busy messing up data designs. I pretty much went in one day and told the boss there they can't do their jobs right. Guess you gotta be prepared to do it right when you say stuff like that. By the way...this is the rick roll guy. :lol:
:lol:
Never gonna giiiive you up :lol:
just tell him that peelz. every once in a while throw in a little rick roll into the conversation. :lol:
lydia and I are going to go see a bluegrass band in a couple weeks. "Trampled by Turtles"
they are a local band but play world wide. Pretty excited. good stuff. :thumbs:
sweet. This is outside my box, I usually don;t go out to shows and stuff, but I actually get a night out with my wife...doesn't happen much. Gonna be fun!
Going to see the donkey show?
eeeehh----awwwwww :lol:
Ok you've dropped by Preddy's house then, what's the real show?

Golf= Old people sport. Enough said

A supervisor here says there's only two things in life you can be bad at and still have fun, and that's golf and sex.
sounds like a wise man Disco :lol:
Don't care about being bad at golf, but can't allow being bad at sex!
LOL Phil, of course, Randy always says how good you are. :thumbs:
Happy friday muggafuggas!!
Early friday today :woot: All's clear on the eastern coast
traffic was surprisingly light today. I know everybody is off bug I figured they'd all be out driving around like usual.
Annoying traffic here at all times of day...But I live in one of those absurdly populated cities.
where you live? there's still traffic out but nothing like it normally would be. a few of us are ahead of schedule from the lack of normal traffic. Fridays are typically extra bad. not today. woot!
I live in Orlando, FL...Worse place in the US far as I'm concerned, next to Detroit
You gotta dodge all the old people? I'm driving a tractor in Houston. People around here are ate up with the dumb[butt]. <- trying to place nice, lol
I'm bored. I need everybody's phone number so I can page everyone to the shout box. I need my entertainment. I'm tired but don't want to go to sleep yet.
Something like that...Never find the perfect pace....They're either slow at 10 mph under the speedlimit or their crutch slips and they're flooring it to 80.
What was that bit about a slippery crutch? :nod:
I like my crutches slippery!
Quote from: Hefe on April 05, 2010, 09:38:40 AM

so they're easy to kick out from under crippled kids. :lol:
Hope everyone had a great Easter. I made sure to fill all the little kids up w/ sugar before they left my parents place. :lol:
easter rocked! weather was great, went out to brunch buffet with the fam, it was quite possibly some of the best food I have eaten! THen the kidlets got an easter egg hunt.

You can kick a dent in one of their wheelchair wheels and watch them roll in circles and cry. :)
You can tell if they're kinky, the wheels already have multiple dents, & they bounce their way round the place with manic grins

Happy Friday Ho's
Gonna try to see if I can bust outta this place early today. Put in a bit of OT this week, and would be nice to gtfo. :)
I was thinking it was Thursday for some odd reason?
I've found a place better than Walmart for mullet hunting. Triple S Steel. Two days in a row, 'fro mullet vato-man first and the next day was Jim-Bob with his skullet. NONE of my pics turned out. Dude's haircut looks fine from the front, balding so he buzzed it short. He walks by and bam, there it is.
I have to work on my stealth picture taking. I act like I'm on the phone while trying to aim and snap while holding it to my head. I need to wear my bluetooth and walk in circles, talking loudly, while snapping away.
Happy Tuesday everyone! :)
MINI HO ( ^_^ )

Grilling on Wednesday 8) I'm excited. Not sure what I'm going to rock yet.. it sucks there's to many good foods to grill.
we had new york strip saturday, then my sister and her fam came over and I barbequed chicken yesterday! CHipotle BBQ sauce with a little beer in it. :)
BBQ Chicken FTMFW!
Damn it was good too!
my mom grilled chicken yesterday, it was dang good. I just heard about this whole cedar plank grilling biz, so I'm going to attempt that some time soon w/ some Salmon :)

quick funny story. We are doing a non profit print job this week. The drive is called $mut for $mut. (Shouldn't say real agency name) Apparently, an atheist group at a texas college is calling the bible smut. And they offer you free porn if you turn in your bible. We are printing the campiagn to fight this. :)
Me..... I'm heading that way now. :lol: We gotz two bibles, but can never have enough porn. :lol:
wow..... crazy people these days.
I know, where were these guys when I was a kid. I woulda stole bibles left and right :lol:

got off work yesterday and went to down town minneapolis.. (I hate that town for its crappy setup)
Was going to try getting into a concert, ended up being sold out. Forgot which building I parked in lol. Wandered minneapolis for 1/2 hour. I knew which street I was on. just forgot which side. ended up finding it though! :)
wandering aimlessly around Minneapolis :lol: sounds fun
Had nice weather. Got to walk by the new Twins stadium. Thing is way sweet looking.
You work in St. Paul and are complaining that Minneapolis is screwed up ???
I love St. Paul. It makes sense to me.
Hey...... speaking of. Would you be interested in Paintball @ Baldwin some time?
St. Paul makes sense to you and yet you cant figure out Minneapolis. The last time I tried to walk around St. Paul I blacked out pissed my pants and forgot my name for a half hour.
I'm always up for paintball just have to find somebody to watch the kid. Is it recball or big game?
Just rec. Lookin to play open ball soon. I got my paintball gun all cleaned up and ready to rock :)

you guys see the movie Avatar yet? You should. I figured I would hate it since it is a nerd flick, but it was very cool. The exact same concept as Dances With Wolves. Only high tec. :thumbs:
Oh, and: "the lovely bones" holy $Hit what a good film. If you have children, this movie will disturb you for sure. Loved it. :thumbs:

Had to get off work early yesterday. ended up selling the first motorcycle (1100) :woot: put it on craigslist @ about 1:00pm. had a text @ 1:30 saying he'd take it no questions basically. lol :woot:
nice one Krandall. thought you were keeping it to ride.
It was one of those projects where I just don't have the time right now to do it. We got a bike for Lydia to ride. I'm focused on getting the rappy goin now.
you had two motorcycles?
Quote from: PeelsSE2 on April 30, 2010, 10:40:36 AM

Hmm. Story time I guess?
I got a 78' XS1100 given to me from 'Bert' on here. About 2 years ago. Full intention of fixing it up and letting lydia drive it. Well, I put a chunk of money into it (about $800.) and I still wasn't done. I took it to a shop last summer told them get it running. We got it running last fall. Took it apart to have the tank and side covers painted. (from my bro) got them painted and it sat all winter. Between snowboarding and riding the rappy. never really got the time or energy to finish it. Well, Wife was gettin on my case about 2 months ago to finish it. and I looked on craigslist one day. Found a 80' XS400 with 6400 original miles and it looked brand new for $700. Picked that up the next day and the 1100 has been sitting ever since. Decided I'd rather have cash in the pocket vs the bike just sitting in the garage taking up space. :)
so.. for a couple months. Yes. I did have 2 motorcycles.
Missed that part. :thumbs: Cool.
I'm buying this! f**k it, look at the colors!!!! And it's a BMW boxer twin! (i know, it isn't as awesome or as blazing lightning fast as a harley :rolleyes: )

Aww geez thanks patterz. TIme flies after you have the kids. We were sitting and thinking what we used to do together before kids. Short Answer: aboslutely nothing :lol:
:lol: I can't handle being with kids all day long, have no patience. I've "babysat" a few times but after a day I go nuts and just kick em out to the other room. I might try to go riding on sunday, I know some guys going (found another site with mostly 450 riders but they go riding all the time :woot:) and so I tag along on some trips now....cool bunch and the torque of the rappy helps to keep up after I get bogged down in the tight sections.
450 riders.... stay home :lol: JK
Always be runing away from the rappy in tight trails and $hit... :lol:
Especially when they're narrower and the riders are better....but the rappy has the grunt to keep up on the straights :lol:

A STUDENT has been saved from a vicious assault - not by the boys in blue but the men in black.
Ninjas scared off three thugs who had the misfortune to attack the 27-year-old medical student outside their warrior school.
The German exchange student had been targeted by the men while he was riding the late-night train home, The Sydney Morning Herald reported.
They demanded he give them his wallet but when he refused and got off the train, they followed.
They pounced as he made his way through a dark alley in Sydney's west.
They grabbed his phone and iPod and kicked him while he lay on the ground.
However, the men were spotted by a member of a nearby dojo.
Nathan Smith told his sensei and the rest of the students at Ninja Senshi Ryu and they rushed out to confront the thugs - all dressed in traditional black ninja garb.
On seeing the ninjas, the men fled, only to be later arrested by police.
"You should have seen their faces when they saw us in ninja gear coming towards them," the school's sensei, Kaylan Soto, told the Herald.
They also failed to notice a ninja, Nathan Smith, standing in the shadows outside the dojo. Mr Smith immediately alerted his sensei, or teacher.
Another ninja, Steve Ashley, said: "It was probably the worst place in Sydney where they could have taken him."

Yeah, their music used to be kind of an off beat hard rock, now it's kind of a mix or rock and trippy music. It's all sorts of good. :)
I remember a song called scrape. heavy stuff. I liked it. But now, the real heavy stuff stresses me out. Not all of it. But the stuff where the singer doesn't actually carry a tune. I can't stand it. They all sound like bad copy cats of Pantera. I can't understand what they are saying.
OLD....

Welcome back

Drove to Bradenton and back today...damn I hate road trips. Did some work on Spider's quad, mounted bars etc and checked out the motor going in.
Got my nerf bars too :nana: and of course it's raining right now :mad:
Mornin hos!
Well, tons of driving this weekend. Drove out to North Dakota. That was fun. Wife was in a wedding. It was like a mini high school reunion. Ran into a LOT of people I haven't seen since high school. Saw a few that was funny to see, looked awesome in high school now plumped up HUGE and saw 1 in particular that was a bigger gal that is now SMOKIN hot!
Long drive back yesterday. got home way later than I expected. No thanks to the state patrol :lol:
Got pulled over for Speeding, Tailgating, and my tint to dark.
He let me off w/ 3 warnings! :woot:
Love seeing the "in crowd" all plumped up after 10 years :rofl: and seeing the ugly ducklings turn into beautiful swans :clap:
And 3 warnings... :nod: Nice! Lydia must have given the officer a wink. ;)
:help:
I'm not much of a mechanical person but I do believe there is something seriously wrong there. It don't look right to me!
It's missing most of the case and the counter balancer is coming up to say hello.
wtf is that? ???

I was part of the in-crowd throughout my school years. One girl who i'd made fun of throughout elementary and middle school ended up being pretty smokin. I used to make fun of this girl relentlessly. But she still liked me, so i apologized and we hooked up. Moral of the story: no matter what attractive people always win.
Sucks that your in-crowd was fat. It's been four years since high school and i'm in better shape now than then.
Hope to never see most of my graduating classever again after this Friday... But I know that won't be the case :lol:
Why not?

Got off early from work, get home then my tires and t-shirts show up shortly :woot: It was a BITCH to get the tires "unfolded" from shipping...even the tire guy was like :wtf: when he saw them...so we tag teamed the tires and got em unphucked. I gave him my leftover cash in my wallet as a tip cause he didn't charge for it..why I love my local discount tire :nana:
Cool beans, cant wait to hear the ride report! :)
It might take a ride or two for it to really start gripping...Every new tire I've ever gotten has needed some "break in" time...but I dunno if it's the same for ATVs? This is the first BRAND NEW set I've bought for the rappy since I got it :lol:
yeah, they have a break in period, but it's pretty minimal, once it gets that oiled smooth stuff off, it'll grip like a mofo.
Burnout in the driveway right before I load it on the truck?
Once you get into some sand/gravel, it won't take long.
Plenty of that at Croom...it's more sand-like than dirt for some reason.
Nice. I'm sure those tires will be a HUGE upgrade from those HDs.

Hmmmph.
By the end of his career he had received 16 medals, five of which were for heroism. He is one of 19 people to be twice awarded the Medal of Honor, one of three to be awarded both the Marine Corps Brevet Medal and the Medal of Honor, and the only person to be awarded the Brevet Medal and two Medals of Honor, all for separate actions.
DANG!
So, might be doing a proper dyno tune on mine next monday...working out a group dyno thing on monday with Spider. Then I'll see what it really can do.
noice. Where's this dyno at? Thought you couldn't find any around you? ???
It's in Live Oak FL...About 3+/- hours away...I didn't find out about them til a few months ago and I was trying not to do a 3-4 hour drive but I guess I gotta do what I gotta do. You might've heard of them...Walsh Race Craft. They do a lot of YFZ stuff.
I HAVE heard of them. That's awesome. For a good tune, hard to go wrong. :)
Yeah, I've just been slacking on it...but I think before I do any motor changes I am gonna get it tuned and go from there...I still would like to explore another build path. Power is not a big factor, I know that the little lever on the bars controls how fast it goes, I just want to see what it does when I change around a few parts.
werd. I hear ya there..
I origianally planned on going to LS when I pick up my quad, but I think I may try swinging through Perry Iowa instead and visit the ticeman, I have to map it out and see the dirivng differences to see how far it is out of the way one vs the other.

The wings were obviously off and strapped down on the side. I guess you don't really have to, they fly in the stuff but if it were me I think I would have anyway.

happy monday. had an OK weekend.... had my family reunion, my dad's side. Weird without Dad being there.
but a couple things.... My uncle...in a scooter, barely breathing, barely talking, diagnosed with lung cancer, refusing treatment....was there....chain smoking. How disrespectful can you be! :mad: It is really hard to feel sorry for him. But I am trying. :(
smoking is bad and makes you die a messy death. :(
And on the way there. Outside a gas station, I saw the classiest thing ever. Older man gets out of his truck, leaving his son or grandson in the truck. I hear a beep...then see the son, in the passenger seat... blowing into the intoxilock for the old man, as the old man, apparently semi-drunk comes out of the gas station carrying a 30 pack of the beast! And proceeds to drive away.
Now that is sheer Iowa class folks.

I can, in a way, understand refusing the treatment. My parents lost a very close friend recently to cancer. She never smoked or anything. Did chemo and it did a real number on her. My mother said she was shocked at how the lady looked, she'd never seen anybody lose so much weight so fast and said it was hard just going into the room with her, seeing this shell that used to be her friend. After the lady died my parents both decided that should either one get cancer, they will not undergo chemo. I don't know what other options are available (radiation I guess?) but should they come down with cancer everybody better get their goodbye's in while they have a chance.
Maybe your uncle gave up a long time ago, threw in the towel and is just marking time, I don't know.
yeah disco. Nothing good about it, period. My problem isn't refusing the treatment. It was smoking right ion front of me right after I watched my own dad die not long ago. :confused: :(
Horrible deal all around.
yeah he really has no shot, already missing part of a lung. Not much you can do.
Bummer peelz. :(
Always hard to lose someone. Maybe he's at the point where.. like disco said. He knows he's going to go. and he may as well make the best of it and enjoy what he's doing.

:rofl: one of my favorite skits.
1. When his 38 caliber revolver failed to fire at his intended victim during a hold-up in Long Beach, California would-be robber James Elliot did something that can only inspire wonder. He peered down the barrel and tried the trigger again. This time it worked.
And now, the honorable mentions:
2. The chef at a hotel in Switzerland lost a finger in a meat cutting machine and submitted a claim to his insurance company. The company suspecting negligence sent out one of its men to have a look for himself. He tried the machine and he also lost a finger. The chef's claim was approved.
3. A man who shoveled snow for an hour to clear a space for his car during a blizzard in Chicago returned with his vehicle to find a woman had taken the space. Understandably, he shot her.. (Very Nice Erich!)
4. After stopping for drinks at an illegal bar, a Zimbabwean bus driver found that the 20 mental patients he was supposed to be transporting from Harare to Bulawayo had escaped. Not wanting to admit his incompetence, the driver went to a nearby bus stop and offered everyone waiting there a free ride. He then delivered the passengers to the mental hospital, telling the staff that the patients were very excitable and prone to bizarre fantasies claiming they were not mad but had been picked up by the driver. The deception wasn't discovered for 3 days.
5. An American teenager was in the hospital recovering from serious head wounds received from an oncoming train. When asked how he received the injuries, the lad told police that he was simply trying to see how close he could get his head to a moving train before he was hit. (Glad your ok Shawn)
6. A man walked into a Louisiana Circle-K, put a $20 bill on the counter, and asked for change. When the clerk opened the cash drawer, the man pulled a gun and asked for all the cash in the register, which the clerk promptly provided. The man took the cash from the clerk and fled, leaving the $20 bill on the counter. The total amount of cash he got from the drawer... $15. [If someone points a gun at you and gives you money, is a crime committed?] (Wanna borrow $5 Troy?)
7. An Arkansas man wanted some beer pretty badly so he decided he'd throw a cinder block through a liquor store window, grab some booze and run. So he lifted the cinder block and heaved it over his head at the window. The cinder block hit the window, bounced back hitting the would-be thief on the head and knocking him unconscious. The liquor store window was made of Plexiglas. The whole event was caught on the stores CCTV. (Foiled again Brian)
8. As a female shopper left a New York store, a man grabbed her purse and ran. The clerk called 911 immediately, and the woman was able to give them a detailed description of the snatcher. Within minutes, the police apprehended the thief. They put him in the patrol car and drove him back to the store. The thief was then taken out of the car and told to stand there for a positive ID. To which he replied, "Yes, officer, that's her. That's the lady I stole the purse from."
9. The Ann Arbor News crime column reported that a man walked into a Burger King in Ypsilanti, Michigan at 5 A.M., flashed a gun, and demanded cash. The clerk turned him down because he said he couldn't open the cash register without a food order. When the man ordered onion rings, the clerk said that these weren't available for breakfast. The man, frustrated, walked away again. - THIS WAS AWARDED THE 5-STAR STUPIDITY AWARD WINNER (Phucker loves him some Onion Rings)
10. When a man attempted to siphon gasoline from a motor home parked on a Seattle street, he got much more than he bargained for. Police arrived at the scene to find a very sick man curled up next to a motor home near vomit and spilled sewage. A police spokesman said that the man had admitted to trying to steal gasoline, but he pushed his siphon hose into the motor home's sewage tank by mistake. The owner of the vehicle declined to press charges saying that it was the best laugh he'd ever had.
Better Luck next time Segkast ;)
sickening....the last one...can you imagine? :rofl:
ERMAHGERD! :rofl:
That reminds me of a 24 hr paintball game I was at years ago. We were camped next to these two other guys.
Dude A asks Dude B, "what's in the jug."
"Piss, took a leak in it" B says without turning around.
A was like, yeah whatever. Screws the cap off and takes a big healthy swig. Spews it right back out, starts cussing and yelling.
B was like, "WTF dude?"
A, "I thought you were kidding!"
We were all laughing and grossed out at the same time. :lol:
LOL Aaron, I remember reading about that in the paper when it happened, and then seeing it on the news later. The old dude who had the RV couldn't stop laughing about it even the next day when they were interviewing him. :rofl:
