just remembered something funny from childhood

there are plenty of kids who arn't to keen on building/designing things.... but i think it's because they grew up being directed towards other, more earthly things.

i remember in grade 8 Design and Technolgy class, this one "jock" type kid sitting by the main bench with a piece of 2X4 and a bucket of nails, hammering nail after nail after nail into the thing while chatting with his buddies

by the end of class he had this 2x4 with hundreds of nails beatten into it... which he threw in the garbage when the bell rang and walked out


looking back i should have kept it as an art thing...

Don't know how many of you play GTA online for the 360 but I'm back to skating the poverty line and it saddens me greatly.

I had to shoot my first deer sad as hell. And it didn't help it was down in a deep creek surrounded by brush AND flopping around. Still one shot to the head and thankfully a quick death. My guys gave me he'll saying it was just resting but no I had to murder it lol
It had both rear legs broken. The guys on scene said it was an awesome shot. The girl offered me a hug lol

I'd say most of them. The uniform always makes everyone hotter. But not skinnier....

I never found the appeal to play this game online. I enjoy playing the story mode too much. I ended up with a little over $2,000,000,000 after playing through it a second time. Not sure i'll ever go broke, lol.

The online is mega fun when you have friends to play with, otherwise it gets boring and monotonous. Personally I like having something to work towards so the need to level in order to unlock things made the online fun. Plus, the way I look at it is when I played story I was playing "the storyline" and had mega appreciation for what it was; the online feels like I'm living a criminal life vicariously through my created character..... kinda exhilarating lol

Can I ask you something?

Guy cops tend to fold to good looking girls that they pull over, especially if they start crying or just give a really good story (at least so I've heard from some well endowed female friends.... if you catch my drift).
As a ladycop, do you ever fold to good looking guys lol?


P.S. not trying to be a tool or anything, it's an honest question I've always wanted to ask a ladycop if I ever saw one.

I think it's been a while since I've asked a technical question, though I feel like I'm beating a dead horse with this one. But, I've never really found a perfect answer. Is the extra cost and potential hastle really worth it for the 17x9 wheel over it's 17x8 alternative? Width=grip, so wider is better? But is it really? I think this one's had me stuck the longest.

Both, the struts were 142k miles old...but the ride height is too high on that car. I haven't done a coastdown test but Torque seems to tell me that the engine is using like 1% less fuel on the highway.

Probably the wool. Try underarmor. It works.

i found some wheels while at work, and i really like them. i haven't had any luck finding a price though.

yay i found a price! but i don't think this place is anywhere near me. WHY IS FINDING WHEELS SUCH A PAIN IN THE ASS?!
