it is neither sexist nor cruel. Ridiculous, stereotypical people leave themselves wide open to be poked fun at. Are you aware that plenty of women call themselves cougars? This is being taken way, way too seriously.

I kinda dont know why you got so mad about JGs thread...it's not sexist. He's a man, and doesn't really notice the male idiots, just the female ones. The term cougar certainly doesn't apply to all women, or all women of a certain age even. It applies to middle age prowlers and shouldn't be taken so seriously. I am told to lighten up a lot on here, or was before my hiatus....if you're really that angry about the cougars thing...you might consider it as well.

Uh...I don't remember giving you permission to use my likeness!

my man...you are the master of going OT and rambling. if there was a prize, you'd win it! THIS WAS TYPED IN JEST / GOOD HUMOR, by the way.

Kinda. Astaxanthin and Neptune Krill Oil. the first is a very powerful natural anti-inflammatory, and the second is a solid source of Omega-3 EFAs which also help reduce inflammation. Take em daily...and you'll get many other benefits as well.

Yes, because I agreed to do a job and agreed to the pay rate ahead of time. "Buyer's remorse" doesn't apply on a job.

I just checked the wave rave site, and, well...the steep lady is a 158 but is listed at $499. obviously more than you're looking to spend. Im sure you can find a perfectly suitable ride for much less.

obviously I've never ridden the steepwater lady model, but their construction is great, the ride is great and the price is highly competitive. just give wave rave a call...

Can't help but feel you're poking at me. Yeah, I've been to a wake. RIP Evan Tanner, you big dummy.

what was this thread about again? jeez. Im not getting into vaccines or autism or gluten intolerance. a 16 year old boy soaping a man's back in a public shower is creepy. period.

not even kind of. Almost complete. He managed to do a few things here and there, but he was clearly a two steps forward three steps back kinda guy. I acknowledged all this...I just think it's kinda cruel to bag on a dude in a tribute thread, especially when the OP already said "yeah, he was massively flawed" with the intent of getting that out of the way. Like I said...in death, do we not celebrate the light? you're honestly not telling me anything I haven't already thought of. LOL, well, both? Both. I absolutely do not see this as glorification! Even the Men's Journal article acknowledges how stupid he could be. aside from the "drain on society" Im one of those dudes. directionless, lost, and will be forgotten. I don't think Tanner was a drain, either... This is where it gets difficult, because..."getting your **** together" is a modern concept, and there are people who just don't fit. Yes, they are often screw ups, and probably immensely frustrating to deal with, but...to just dismiss them critically...I can't do it. Some people just don't fit. Again I don't see it as glorification. Just celebration of an extraordinary life. That dude did more in 37 years than 100 men combined do in their entire lifetimes. Some of it was STUPID, and haskins is right...the dude was a drunk and clearly had some serious mental issues, but again...in death... Im not sure why it annoys you so severely, but I do see your point. Tanner took all those precautions. He made one massive, stupid mistake though. He thought a spring was there that wasn't, based on outdated satellite data. He did let people knwo where he'd be, AND, it must be noted that he went alone. He didn't jeopardize anyone but himself. Im having a hard time figuring out why you're so vehement about this. Yes, your example should be celebrated. Absolutely! But..why not BOTH? Both are equally human. Both are points on the spectrum of human experience, and both are worthy of celebration. It was actually kinda sad. Terrell had a promising future and was never the same again. Tanner owned him, and completely destroyed his will to fight. Demoralized, thoroughly. It's actually really contradictory that someone who seems to love people so much would be so...brutal... I wonder if he ever talked to Terrell after that. I won't spoil it for you, but I will say DO NOT PAY FOR IT. It wasnt worth $55. Franklin/Hendo was good, but should have been better. Davis/Lytle was FOTN for sure. Coleman/Shogun, well....and you'll be surprised at the result of Kang/Belcher.

There are also "studies" that show aspartame is safe!

you guys both missed the point. I said (I thought clearly) that Im not worked up about this, and wasn't trying to fight. dude can post whatever he wants, wherever, whenever.

were they unclothed?

with as horrible as they are at keeping up their site, and the season already part way into...I guarantee a call to WR would get a significant discount

The son. Autism is a newer issue, brought on by vaccines.

hold on and find a steepwater. beleive it or not they make a lady specific board. maybe even call wave rave bob? what do you think?

Snot is running down his nose... dude, I wasn't trying to fight, and you're actually right about Tanner...it just seemed like you were trying to shut down a tribute thread and if you were...why? If not, I misinterpreted.

yeah. the 2nd one. the first has down's syndrome. and?

nah, the frank and beans isn't a big deal. it's nature. the rest, not so much.

If you had hollered at them or kicked someones ass you would have overreacted. It's quite clear they were gay and there are several problems with the scenario. 1)the age difference 2)the public display of sexuality 3)showering together 4)public display of sexuality while showering together! you would have been equally dismayed to see two women, or even a man and a woman. The public showers at the Y just aren't the place for that. No, you didn't overreact.

agree with all this. but, not all people can be "fixed" either. You don't really have to admire any of him. If you see him as a wreck and a loser, well, that could be justified. nonsense. I posted something celebratory and you contradicted it, although now you say you didn't mean it that way, so case closed :)

You had your bindings chromed? Is anodizing more expensive than chroming? Is it durable? edit...did a quick search and apparently anodizing is for aluminum only. Are bombers aluminum? apparently anodizing can be done at home! check this out: http://www.warpig.com/paintball/technical/anodize.shtml

make it happen, steve!

battering ram. that's funny. it DOES look like one, but I think it looks cool always liked the idea of a symetrical ie twin tip carving board
