Mind if I warm you up?

Nice dude. And one of the first real signs you're a true car/truck guy is when you announce "to hell with gas prices, I'm gonna have me some fun!"

I've already got a shopping list going on my daily-driver '98 Chevy S10. Street truck? Lowrider? Drag racer? Hell no, that's been done a thousand times already. We're going OFFROAD!

-Fabtech 3.5" front spindle lift/rear shackles
-Diamond Racing Wheels 15" Stock Car Series
-BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A-KO, haven't settled on what size yet
-GlassWorks Unlimited fiberglass fenders, maybe bedsides if I have the money

Everybody keeps telling me I do enough stuff with the R/C trucks, kindof a shame to leave my 1:1 truck stock. Good enough excuse for me!

Oh great...I have enough trouble asking women out in English, now they're gonna start expecting me to do it in another language as well?

It's one of those things that's too stupid to not be funny

Ever drink rusty water? Imagine that taste as a scent instead

~belches~

~farts~

~picks nose~

~scratches azz~

My work here is done.

Seriously, sounds a lot like me

The little space heater I keep by my desk REEKS for about the first twenty seconds after you turn it on, then it's fine

What if he's still at home because he's still 22 and the full-time job still doesn't pay quite enough, but he is paying his folks room & board?

I'm about to send a text message to one girl I know here to find out when (/if) we're going on our first date this afternoon

~fingers crossed (little difficult to text that way though)~

I'm just thinking...I've always been a little behind the curve on computers but on every one I've used the computer can't turn the monitor off (unless of course it's a laptop), once the computer shuts off the monitor loses the input signal from the computer. On any monitor made within the past several years, if there's no incoming signal the monitor automatically goes into standby since it knows it's not doing anything.

So when you tell your computer to "Shut Down", the monitor powering itself down should be the last thing to happen, since it'll only do that after the computer shuts down.

But, I've been wrong before ~shrugs~

...still confused

Sure it's not in standby?

Went from paradise to heartbreak in one ten minute phone call

You taste better too

Ozark Trail work shoes, jeans, leather belt, Ambission "Holy Diver" shirt I bought when I visited California, Fossil Red Face watch, glasses so I can see what the f**k I'm doing, and of course I wouldn't go anywhere without the Diamond Racing Wheels cap

Might have a date tonight, hope I look allright!

I gurarantee it.

You can tell this was written awhile ago and that times have changed though:

Rule 1 : Life is not fair - get used to it!

...Or file a lawsuit.

Rule 2 : The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Oh please. Front-page news stories about people getting their feelings hurt pop up all the time. Look at the women who get turned down for waitress positions at Hooters.

Rule 3 : You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

But if you get an athletic scholarship, you can be as dumb as a box of rocks and still be making MILLIONS and own a fleet of cars for making a science out of throwing a ball.

Rule 5 : Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.

'Course, if you're an illegal immigrant, the government'll practically hand you a living on a siver platter.

Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

You can be arrested 20 times for DUI and still have a license. 'Nuff said.

Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

Unless you're a "professional" athlete, that is.

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

American Idol, So You Think You Can Dance, Survivor...people are making a living off TV all the time

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

Show of hands: Who here works for someone who knows what they're doing?



Not trying to crash the party, just saying it seems like lazy uneducated useless people can do just as well if not better than someone who actually puts hard work and effort into what they do. Watch the movie "Office Space", sure it's just a movie but I know anyone who's seen it can testify to how accurately it portrays real life.

I'm just thinking of the star football player who graduated high school ahead of me in our class, Ben Heckel. For his graduation, his parents (who are the owners of a tool & die shop & have money coming out their ears) bought him a brand new Ford Explorer with all the bells & whistles. A few weeks later it's in the local body shop after he washed it with a Scotch-Brite pad because it was "really dirty" Yup, according to our GPAs he's smarter than I am, and rest assured that athletic scholarship means he won't pay a dime to get rocketed in and out of college with a PhD in touchdown passes living high on the hog for the rest of his life

Frank Stillwell: [Stillwell and Ike are planning to ambush the Earps at the train station] That's Virgil there with the women.
Ike Clanton: He's mine, understand?
Frank Stillwell: [Cocking his rifle] Hey Mattie! Where's Wyatt?
Wyatt Earp: Right behind you, Stillwell.
[Shoots Stillwell with a shotgun as he turns around]
[With Ike Clanton on his knees, Wyatt slashes his lip open with the spur of his boot]
Wyatt Earp: All right Clanton, you called down the thunder, well now you've got it! You see that?
[pulls open his coat, revealing a badge]
Wyatt Earp: It says United States Marshal!
Ike Clanton: [terrified, pleading] Wyatt, please, I...
Wyatt Earp: [referring to Stilwell, laying dead] Take a good look at him Ike, 'cause that's how you're gonna end up!
[shoves Ike down with his boot]
Wyatt Earp: The Cowboys are FINISHED, you understand? I see a red sash I kill the man wearin' it!
[lets Ike up to run for his life]
Wyatt Earp: So run, you cur, RUN! Tell all the other curs the law's comin'! You tell 'em I'M coming, and hell's coming with me, you hear? HELL'S COMING WITH ME!

[Doc Holliday has the drop on Billy Clanton with a pistol]
Billy Clanton: Why, it's the drunk piano player. You're so drunk, you can't hit nothin'. In fact, you're probably seeing double.
[Billy Clanton draws a knife]
Doc Holliday: [takes out a second pistol] I have two guns, one for each of ya.
