You need a horn like this: http://www.streetbeatcustoms.com/airtrainhorn.html I think I'm gonna get one for my hatchback.

I think the bottom one might be from Staten Island.

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but I'm a bit confused. Are these canopies to be used for AFF students, or for people who wish to learn how to fly an elliptical?

Mainly to make people who see the sticker think, especially those with a propensity to drink and drive. Well yeah I understand that part. I guess maybe I was thinking that a bumper sticker might not be that effective, but I suppose every little bit helps. It does have shock value though. Most times you see a bumper sticker and its just some lame joke, and then you see something like that......

I'm surprised no one mentioned Taps

My cousin was killed by a drunk driver when he was 16. This was about 10 years ago. After the accident, my Aunt became really involved with MADD, going to high schools and giving speeches and whatnot. She has a bumper sticker on her car that says, "A Drunk Driver Killed My Son." I remember the first time seeing that and thinking, "Wow that ought to get someones attention." But I never understood why you would want to tell the world something like that with a bumper sticker.

I saw the USPA on the page. It shows up when you hover over the box. I have a feeling that I am going to be dissapointed.

On page 65 of the Parachutist is this address: www.anewskinforeveryone.com You go there, a bunchy of freaky shit happens, and obvioulsy its a puzzle of some sort. They tell you to search the classifieds, and there is an ad that says: Carving is easy, you just go down to the skin and stop. Maybe I'm stupid, but I can't figure this out and it's pissing me off.

I'm a little confused. And I didn't watch the show so please bear with me. When everyone was talking about this the last time I was under the impression that the treadmill was moving in the opposite direction the plane was traveling in, which is an absurd thing to think about assuming you know anything about how an airplane operates. Are you now saying that the treadmill was travelling in the direction that the plane would normally go in order to take off? With the plane sitting on top of it?

What is the title of the game? I still get a kick out of trying to complete my BASE in GTA San Andreas.

The Xanadu is gonna be sick! Drop my GF off at the mall, then snowboard and tunnel all on the same rainy day in the middle of the summer! I'm just worried about how crowded that place is gonna be. I know its huge, but has anyone seen Six Flags in the last couple of years? There are way to many people in NJ.

In NJ they let Techs take the test. I'm assuming it is the same throughout the country.

Well now I realize that I was completely off subject. One class I took that fulfilled english requirements was "Technical Writing." It was somewhat boring but I improved on a skill that as an engineer is very important. I also took "History of Nazi Germany" that was taught by a guy named Schwiezer. Awesome class but I questioned whose side the Professor was on. Anyway, there are some decent classes you can take. I'm sure you can find something that interests you. Also, a break in all the math is sometimes a good thing.

Don't waste your time on an engineering program that is not ABET certified. Most employers specify it as a requirement too. It's a long tough road -- expensive too! http://www.abet.org/ Exactly. The non-certified programs are usually listed with the word "Technology" at the end. Like Mechanical Engineering Technology. Its basically a watered down version of a real ME program. So you'll get half assed training and eventually half assed pay. As an example, while still in college, I walked into a lab and saw students smearing play-doh on a toy Hummer. I asked them what class this was and they said Fluid Mechanics. I didnt realize until afterward that they were ME Tech students. Now when I took Fluid Mechanics we never left the classroom and everything was out of a text book. In the technology program you get idea behind the theories by conducting Mr Wizard experiments, you dont actually learn them. If this seems like a better alternative to you than maybe you should consider not being an engineer. That's not a very good example. We (VMI) did the same thing but took the results back to the classroom to figure out what shapes had the least drag. Can't be an engineer unless you know how to apply the book to the real world. How exactly did you try and figure it out? A little more on this subject that I forgot about earlier. A lot of the Tech Institutes lead students to believe that what they are getting in a Tech program is just as good. The problem is that they don't teach much theory, and by that I mean you will not get into the mathematics that are used to predict the phenomena that you are studying. In your career, you will probably not even use a tenth of this knowledge. But if you decide to get your Professional Engineers License, you will shit a brick when you see the test. I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with a Tech degree. People can do whatever they want. But you need to think about what you want to do after you get that degree. Bottom line is, with the Tech degree you will struggle severely to pass the PE exam, you most likely won't be able to complete a ME Masters program, you will lose out on jobs to people with regular ME degrees, and you will not make as much money starting out. Think about it. And good luck.

When a cougar is severely unattractive, meaning you wouldn't fuck them with a stolen dick, we call them Bargoyles.

And that was the last time Paul ever returned Jim's boat without filling the tank.

I saw it at the Imax. It was very good. One of the better movies I have seen in a while, but then again I don't go to to many movies because for the most part, they all suck. Who cares if it copied a book or another movie. Bottom line is, I went out on a Friday, saw a good movie, and had a good time. And then lost hundreds at the Blackjack table.

If you've never had a hobby level RC car I would suggest an electric. They are cheaper and much easier to mantain. They are much cleaner as well. Start with that, and then move to a nitro if you want to get more into the hobby. Definitely start with something entry level. Tamiya makes some pretty decent, cheap kits, like the Super Blackfoot for instance. Tamiya kits are mostly plastic, but there are loads of metal parts out there when you break the plastic pieces. You can get completely set up with something like this (kit, radio, electronics, charger, batteries) for around $200.00 Also, I would strongly consider getting a kit that you would have to assemble completely. To me, it is one of the more fun aspects of RC cars, and you can't beat the the knowledge you'll gain of your machine. If anything breaks, you'll already know what to do to fix it. You can't get that from an assembled model, unless of course you dismantle the entire thing and then put it back together. Check out www.towerhobbies.com before you head to the store.

When I first started riding about 8 years ago, I thought I would get a job working a motorcycle dealership. I figured yeah, retail sucks, but these customers are motorcycle riders, they have to be cool! It turns out, that only about 1 in 10 motorcycle riders are actually "cool," and by cool I mean that they are not ego maniacs, perverts, assholes, really rich guys in weekend costumes, gangster wanabees, kids with rich fathers, or anyone else that any semmingly normal person would despise. I've worked at dealerships for years, and just when you think you've seen it all....... Maybe its me, or maybe its New Jersey, or maybe I'm just jaded, but shit like fake bullet proof motorcycle vests, and all the crap that comes with it, are the reason why I now only ride with one other person. I feel better now. Thank you.

Last years Halloween costume. Personally, I thought it was genius, and I couldn't stop laughing for about 20 minutes. Unfortunately, no one else felt that way.

I usually start drinking that stuff early winter. Actually its almost about that time. The trick is to drink it BEFORE you get sick. Even before you think your sick. Whether or not it works, who knows. But I have made it through the last 3 or 4 winters without getting sick.

Who is this guy? He said something about his father being mentioned in Time.

Had to resurect this one because I just heard something really funny. Guy at work says, "The only way I would jump out of a plane would be if it was crashing, and even then I would wait until it was really close to the ground." Right.

Just give in. You can't fight it. Have you mastered the art of falling asleep with your hand on your mouse yet?
