For anyone who cares (possibly everyone except Fairweather), the statue above is next to the Alpine Chapel built by the owner of Boehm's Chocolates in Issaquah. Good stuff. Interesting mountaineering history behind the founder as well. http://www.boehmscandies.com/catalog/aboutboehms.php "Julius became a child of the mountains, and utilized his mountaineering skills to escape the Hitler tyranny in 1939 and fled to Switzerland. From there he came to the Pacific Northwest in 1941." Even a middle-aged grumpus on a rice-burner can appreciate that.

It is a Rotax. BTW, again, that's not my bike (you'd know this if you had reading skilz). With my bike and my 32 inch inseam, I'm on my toes when I come to a stop. You must be one short bastard. It's not a faux political/religious hate thread either. Some folks I know play this tag thing with our motorcycles as a way of discovering interesting new things around our area. We were having real problems figuring this one out and was just looking for some help. Finally figured it out on my own. Maybe you ought to spend less time a) making bad attempts at trolls and/or b) figuring out how anything anyone says is somehow intended as a slight or slur against your particular beliefs. Really, I think you need to talk about this with someone about this or spend less time in places with people who irritate you or something. You're going to end up with an ulcer or Irritable Man Syndrome or something. PS. I don't like your POS rice burner of a bike either. So there.

Seems our Aussie cousins aren't immune to the American disease: http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/mans-heart-stops-after-red-bull-overdose/2007/08/18/1186857834956.html Only 8? Man up there, mate. He's got a few 'roos loose in the top paddock.

I'm suprised no one has ever caught and strung up any of these idiots on a pole as an example to the others. The thiefs/tweakers that is....

Drunk in Sverige? That must mean you have no money left. If you were smart, you'd go to one of the student nations at the local universitet. Cheaper booze and lots of hot girls dancing with each other while their ostensible 'boy friends' hang out with each other getting drunk.

Trailers are for pulling your Hardly Ableson to the next rally.

Mango margaritas also rock, but don't turn your mouth purple. Good liquid sunshine when you're feeling wet and soggy from to much PNW rain and want to think you're in Mexico.

Never mind. Figured it out.

Good answer, but not my bike.

Anyone know where this sculpture is located in Seattle?

question global warming question global warming conspiracy theories

Questions are unpatriotic, even if they're good questions. Data means nothing, unless it's our data.

that's a sweet bike.

17-year old girl + "laughing and crying simultaneously for no apparent reason". what's the problem here again?

"Wildwood Weed" (As recorded by Jim Stafford) JIM STAFFORD DON BOWMAN Wildwood flower grew wild on the farm And we never knowed what it was called Some said it was a flower and some said it was a weed I didn't give it much thought One day I was out there talkin' to my brother And I reached down for a weed to chew on Things got fuzzy and things got blurry And then ev'rything was gone Didn't know what happened but I knew it beat the hell Out of sniffing burlap I come to and my brother was there and he said, "What's wrong with your eyes?" I said "I don't know, I was chewin' on the weed" He said, "Let me give it a try" We spent the rest of that day and most of that night tryin' To find my brother Bill Caught up with him about six o'clock the next mornin' Naked, singing on the windmill He said he flew up there I had to fly up and get him down He was about half crazy The very next day we picked a bunch of them weeds And put 'em in the sun to dry Then we mashed 'em up and we cleaned 'em off Put 'em in the corn cob pot Smokin' them wildwood flowers got to be a habit We never seen no harm We thought it was kind-a handy Take a trip and never leave the farm Big 'ole puff of that wildwood weed next thing you know You're just wand'ring 'round behind the little animals All good things got to come to an end It's the same with the wildwood weeds One day this feller from Washington come by And spied one and turned white as a sheet And they dug and they burned And they burned and they dug and they killed All our cute little weeds and then they drove away We just smiled and waved sittin' ther on that sack o' seeds "Y'all come back now, y'hear!"

What is that? The view from the inside of the black bag over his head as he's being taken away in a black helicopter at night?

Quote of the day: "It's hard to be a terrorist if your girlfriend won't let you."

So, did you do it?

it rocks. i had it done two years ago. some of the best money i ever spent. when i did it, i think of the 90 minutes I was there, probably 5 minutes or less was spent under any kind of machine for doing anything to my eyeball. It's painless and quick. Because of my astigmatism, I also had the custom version done. Still got 20/15 baby.

Nice to see that many of you slightly-male 45-54 year-olds are still making $0-$30K/year......

Verily, it must be so, wise Portercrates.

Who doesn't like seeing some young punk get what he clearly deserves? The only tragedy here would be is if the owner/cashier had to go to 'sensitivity training' or 'anger management' classes after the head office HR department got to see this.

That's very near our main mid-western office. :-(
