  1. I quit smoking and gained 20lbs but fat people repulse me. I'm going to get a McGriddle. Actually I started smoking again, addiction = weakness but I aim to try again! I'll spare you the reports. --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM
  2. Me too. Thanks for the info. --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM
  3. I was sorta that guy... One night during summerfest at SDC they hosted a casino night and my g/f and her best friend agreed to be dealers. I lost all of my chips in like two hands at the poker table so I wandered around while my g/f kept feeding me jack and cokes that she was getting for free. The two girls decide to go to the bathroom together and conviced me to deal texas hold 'em until they get back. After arguing w/ an exmarine over something to due w/ dealing I realized I was way too drunk to be dealing. The girls by the way ditched me or got preoccupied and left me hanging. I'm sure everyone at the table was rolling their eyes because they wanted to play some cards and I was too drunk to even deal the cards. --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM
  4. Basically you are making Elotes The best is at Sox park but my wife and I have been meaning to make it to the Elgin fresh market on a weekend for some. Love that stuff. --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM
  5. TV shows on DVD are always good. I bet you'd really like Flight of The Conchords --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM
  6. Went to a pig roast on the 4th and was sent home with a large zip top bag filled w/ porky goodness. Throw it on a kaiser bun w/ some Gates (spicy) bbq sauce and it's heaven. First time I ever tried Gates was Saturday. This guy talked it up at work so we ordered their gift pack. --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM
  7. No worries about the hijack and I totally agree about riding gear. My hard deck is full face, high tops, icon gloves, jeans and this pretty thick jacket. Proper gear is coming soon but that is the least I'll ride in. --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM
  8. As a kid i never wore a helmet and was outside all summer biking, rollerblading etc...never was injured except for a scrape here or bruise there. In 8th grade we took a field trip to a bowling alley and at the end of my first game I tripped myself and fell forward. I used the bowling ball to stop my fall and broke my hand near the base of my thumb. The sad part was I was in a youth bowling league for like 2 or 3 years before. I've always been sort of a daredevil yet my only serious injury in my whole life was a bowling accident Chris --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM
  9. Sorry, I was camping all weekend (didn't take the bike on the 5 hour ride) so I missed all of these posts. Same here although not as fast. It started with me looking into buying a 150cc scooter. After some reading I learned you need a motorcycle license for that size of a scooter so I went and got my permit one day after work. That just involves a 15 question written test which was a breeze. Two days later my brother invited me to learn and practice on his 650cc Hyosung cruiser. I knew the basics on how to operate the bike so I cruised the neighborhood streets on his bike and bought mine the same day. Found a good deal on a 06 suzuki s40/Savage. A week later I'm licensed! Thanks for the congrats and tips everyone. Youtube has been a wealth of knowledge too believe it or not. Chris --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM
  10. Do you have any examples regarding bad habits? I've been riding for about a week now so I'm real green. Edit: thanks for the compliment. The dmv tester thought it was a 250cc and had me do the uturn in the smaller area. After I passed I realized the mistake he made and let him know that it was actually a 650cc! --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM
  11. After practicing cones for an hour in a parking lot my brother and I rode to a DMV and I passed my motorcycle road test, my first attempt. From what I understand this isn't usually done on the first try. It took my brother 3 tries, a friend 2 tries and there was a couple there taking it for their 2nd time. Next month my wife and I plan on taking an MSF course so I can learn something I don't already know and so my wife can learn to ride. Let's hope for a long summer! --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM
  12. If I could eat anything from Chicago right now it would be a burrito, cheese fries and an horchata from Taco Burrito House on Fullerton Ave. Just east of Clyborne. Chris --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM

  14. I just purchased a 2006 Suzuki Savage ls650/s40 which is a wonderful first bike. It's been a lot of fun riding around with my brother. Here is what it looks like but this isn't my bike. --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM

  17. Off topic but I just watched 28 days later which your title made me think of. Oh and I'll be at the cubs game on 6/20 watching the sox beat them --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM
  18. I will!!! but you have to bring ginny along too. She's quite a bit cuter than you. Yeah, I know. Hard to beleive that yesterday was our one year anniversary My rig needs a repack (wait, cant you do that?) and my cypres needed it's 4 yr check in 2005. I'm way uncurrent too, like 2 1/2 years. I'm also nervous about jumping my hornet 150, maybe rent a sabre2 170 or 190 for the first several. I do need to get out there now that my life has settled down. I just took a nap on my lunch and had a sdc dream. My brother and I were down there and it was after jumping so we were helping clean up. There were cots everywhere for some reason. After that my brother busted out jager and redbull for everyone. Weird dream. I feel a drunk dial in your future. --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM
  19. My Father and I were discussing this movie and both agreed it looked kinda bad. Hopefully the new M. Night movie will be good. "The Happening". Check out the redband trailer. --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM
  20. anyone wanna pick me up, take me to the DZ and give me about $200? --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM
  21. I'm sorry Watch Elizabeth Hurley be extremely sexy especially around the 10 second mark. No bs, the guy interviewing her is even thrown off by that move. http://youtube.com/watch?v=gOsVhbfGitU&feature=related --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM
  22. Looks pretty cool http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzoZGNsJ71w --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM
  23. Good to know I take it after I eat my lunch and before bed so I'm never driving immediatly after and, sadly, I haven't jumped in over 2 years. I should change my name to nofaller. --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM
  24. Probably my last update. Today is my fourth day in a row without a smoke. The hard part is over, I haven't bought a pack since 5/10 and have had one since 5/17. This week felt like smoking is just a memory. My lighter has been stowed away and I cleaned my car really well even though it was only smoked in for about 2 months. I don't think about it much, maybe once or twice a day, and I'm starting to smell how people really smell after smoking. Bad. Hopefully this smoking thing is behind me and Chantix really worked well. Well I'm still taking it so it's working well. Have a good weekend everyone Chris --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM
  25. I have 4 Celebrating my wife and I's first anniversary on the last weekend of May with a weekend away at a B&B. Even bringing our dogs. Seeing Dethklok on 6/16 Yes the cartoon band. Being a non smoker w/o strong cravings Lollapalooza '08 w/ Radiohead, NIN and Rage Against the Machine. --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM
