Dude, your avatar is like freaking me out man.

Methinks thou doth protest too loudly. The members here are in search of accuracy RDfT, an accuracy that has been obscured by your propensity for rambling posts and misdirection.

What about that post a few weeks ago before the Sweet Sixteen ever started? In a single post you decried the absence of veteran broadcaster Dick Vitale while simultaneously pronnouncing your admiration for the South Carolina team. Typed by your own fingers was an expression of longing for Dick and a statement of support for the Cocks that bordered on blowhard, fanatical proportion.

C'mon man, just set the record straight.

Now that's Poetic Justice. Thanks for the laugh Sticks.

[Luvin Da Blues]

An unusually high concentration of members here seem to have a preoccupation with DICK.

Let us please try to keep this topic on its current path.

No wait. I mean, the path of this:

So sorry RnT, I didn't mean to be a "RICH" about it.

Horrible movie....

I must admit that was pretty lame movie too. Everybody kept constantly arguing back and forth. Only enjoyed two scenes in that movie, Tone Loc and BBQ picnic scenes.

And by the way, is Rich rIcH

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll try to keep my mouth shut and let some other dick ramble on aimlessly. Sound good?

Never much liked Dick Vitale, OTOH I don't really follow college hoops much until the playoff rounds start, but coach Valvano was a great personality of the sport and a hero to many I'm sure. I think in his brief stint on this earth he did so much more to bring the college ranks into the national spotlight than Dick did. And the teams I follow during the playoffs include UNC & Duke, which are a bit north of south NC.

C'mon man, just set the record straight.

How'd I do?

[Rich-n-Texas]

Gee, what an exciting place to be. So much post traffic. Seems like, these days, the members here aren't in search of anything.

Guess I'll go talk about my room modes, standing waves, peaks & nulls... etc.

[GMichael]

The people who have been here for a while have talked about most all there is to talk about over and over. We need new blood. Hold out your hand for a minute.

[bobsticks]

Uumm, well, we could talk about the Mustang I just bought. The kid that owned it lives in a trailer with a third baby on the way and had just lost his license (I am in Indiana after all). I paid less for the car than I did for my amps but it should be fun to tool around in over the summer.

The plan is to drive the Jetta to work, the pony for fun and sell 'em both at the first snowfall and get in to the long overdue big-boy, oldster, business samurai geek touring sedan...though I do hate the idea of growing up.

In my neck of the woods you would have gotten the car and one of the kids.

I have heard some muffled sounds from the trunk.

I couldn't help but feeling that I was in a timewarp juxtaposition between Mama's Family and Deliverence.

Sticks,
That car is not in our nations best interest. It makes us have to do business with thugs that sit on oil. It compromises our national security. It pollutes our air, and will leave generations after us coughing in its wake. So based on that, you need to GIVE it to me so you can sleep well at nights knowing its in good hands. You can keep the screaming kid in the trunk though, I have done my duty.

[bobsticks]

You had me Terrence until you capped "GIVE". That snapped me out of it. Up to that point I was thinking about shipping companies and dreaming of hybrids. Maybe next time. Do they even make a hybrid sedan yet?

I'm not really a "car guy" so this was a bit of a momentary lark. Seriously, Flo spends more on one set of speaker cables...so I really have nothing invested...and the aftermarket system makes cruisin' around on these nice days fun.

You wanna talk irresponsible check out a Land Rover. I test drove one about a month ago and though it was a fun machine I couldn't get over the whopping 10 mpg city/17 highway. Sadly, the guy sold three the same day I was there. Between funding the thugs and what my friends would call me for owning something now made by an outfit called "TaTa" I just couldn't get around it.

I would have went for the neck, but the hand will do

We will go for the hand for new blood, go for the neck for more blood

I drive a Dodge 4x4 Ram 1500 w/ a V8 Hemi. I get about the same MPG. My wallet has been setting my arse on fire for the last few years due to gas costs.

I drove a Nissan Altima to Dallas this week for a business meeting. I started in Houston with a full tank and drove to Dallas, went to dinner and then drove half way back to Houston the next day before I has to fill up. Actually, I had to empty "my tank". The car probably could have made it another 50 ro 60 miles. And then it was only $50 to fill her up. My Dodge is about $80 a tank. Almost got in a wreck in Houston and quickly convinced myself that the extra cost of gas is worth a little added safety on the road. Size does matter!

Why am I not seeing you and Billy Bob in the "it's got a Hemi" commercials anymore. Contract up?

WTF Jamie? You came to Dallas and didn't look me up? Wonder if I can return that case of Shiner...

Yeah, I thought about looking you up but I had limited time. I'll actually be up there again Friday for this, http://www.dallaswineauction.com/. Not really looking forward to wearing a Tux! I plan on eating some good food and drinking insanely expensive wine that I don't have to pay for. My wife and I and our guests got rooms at the Hyatt so we don't have to drive after we are done drinking all the hooch! I'm bidding $1 on everything!

The next morning we have to get up early and head back to Houston for a birthday party. More drinking! I'm gonna be hurting by Sunday.

[Rich-n-Texas]

Now would these "guests" be farm animals, or some attractive young babes?

[Rich-n-Texas]

I'm comfortable with the direction this thread has taken.

I hate to rub salt in your open wound JSE, but I drove from the Bay Area to Los Angeles in my Honday Insight on a single tank of gas. That is about 525 miles. My car sipped gas until we got to the grapevine(a huge uphill trek that lasts about 5 miles. That is where my car used the majority of its gas. I was getting about 60mpg until I got to the grapevine.

I thought twice about being in a small car around all of the SUV. This thing has side bags, front bags, and bags for the bags. And it has enough power to scamper out of the way of the big guys. So I feel pretty safe for now, and if I start to feel unsecure, I just pull out the Lexus hybrid SUV

Plus, lets not forget the operator of said small vehicle. In the unlikely event of an accident, even if you were clearly in the wrong, you will manage through an exhaustive, extensive, and incendiary fashion PROVE that the other driver was in fact responsible for the mishap.

If at first they don't see your rational, you will haragne them for hours with a lenghty diatribe until they fell compelled to either crawl under a rock, or simply go insane.

Whats your license plate # anyway? I wanna make sure I steer around you at all time.

I pick choice B.

Either choice is my victory because I would have gotten them off of me!

What....you guys are gonna stop at post 1224?

..and let you get the last word after throwing down with thirty or so posts of nothing but smileys? I think not.

How 'bout them Dallas Stars?!
