Awww, Stupid White Men was FUN!!! I tried to read the book those guys from Project for a New American Century put together, but I got bored, and THAT made me feel stupid. I will say that if you can get throught it (dry as a bone) that it will give you some pretty solid insights into the Bush family agenda for world domination. I didn't think Reefer was as good as FFN. The history of the porn industry section was a little long and , and the wrapup at the end of the book, which should have been the very best part, was very brief and ended somewhat suddenly. That said, it's still hella better than reading M Chrichton or some other pop fiction crappoleum.

If you really want to get back on his good side, you'll need to talk dirty to him over PM or somesuch. Also, never defend me, as I am on the permanent list, partially because I have refused to talk dirty with him. But, being on that list is really not so bad, you just have to ignore the garbage he flings at you.

The chatter is working and the chat room be open.

Nicely done.

Erik, Doing the radiator fix (I assume your mechanic put the kibosh on the Outback option for some reason....?) won't erase the sins of the previous owners. I was very careful with engine temps and still, right on schedule, a head gasket blew at 175K. Also if you did the timing belt, one has to hope you did the water pump at the same time, or you're going to have to go in there again. Sorry to mention any of this, I must have temporarily forgotten that no one can ever tell you anything because you already got it all in your nog.

That place in 11worth is the kind of recco that's going to get you sent to your room, Drul.

Have you tried El Puerco Lloron on the Hillclimb west of the Market? It's the most like food I've had in Mexico. That said I aslo like Mama's but it's So-Cal Mexi, not the real deal.

For Dim Sum, there's no beating the venerable King Cafe. All they do is dim sum, open 10-5 except Wednesdays. 8th and King, or 7th, somewhere right around there. For regular Chinese, I like Tai Tung and the Kau Kau BBQ.

I don't get the chicken feet. There's a lot of stuff that is not as weird as chcken feet.

You know what I like? Dim Sum. I need to go out for Dim Sum soon.

...and people wondered why I changed my screen name.....

Ballard too!

Am I supposed to get upset because you think I'm gay?

Pride parades are gay, gay, GAY! I look forward to the day when people don't have to have parades celebrating things like this because they are accepted into the mainstream society. That said, let's get back to out regularly scheduled programming here....the even that has replaced the former cc.com rope-up.

Hahahaha, and the line starts in Squish there were over 100,000 people "out" on the street for this weekend's Pride Parade in Vancouver. Nice!

Got nuttin' right now. Already read most of what's been posted. I can recommend Jarhead and Reefer Madness thought the latter is not as good as I'd hoped. Jennifer Gummint was a fun read eh? They oughtta make a blockbuster movie out of it.

My chatter is broken too.

No but you refuse to listen to other owners about the maintenance issues with this car, assuming the no listeny thing is not new, so I'm inclined to no listeny to any of your suggestions on vans or otherwise either. Anyway, you so haven't owned a Soob long enough to get the problems associated with the vehicle.

Bah, pally, you called me names in PM. Screw that. I'm going in the woods that weekend. Soft plans got firm as soon as I saw the Festival in full bloom.

I dunno, pal. I've got gear coming out of my ears. Just want to get together with the gang, hopefully do some climbing, have a pint of something, and have a little fun. I guess my needs are such that the lure of free stuff isn't enough to get me to wade through all the BS.

I like Ry's take on this. The real kinda laid-back camping deal with TG beer will hopefully happen elsewhere! That way I can not even be miffed that there's this other event masquerading as such. Who knows how many people will even show up at the "festival" if the organizer keeps slagging everyone who doesn't want a big commercial event. I'm sure there will be plenty of other people there anyway.

Erik, I have to apologize for the Hefeweizen that time. I am allergic to hops and it was the ONLY thing they had that wasn't overly hoppy. Next time you buy the beer, old chappy!

Just don't say anything negative about it, or Beck will send you nasty PMs in which he calls you names.

or BLECH.

That could work for us. Not sure which weekends for the kid yet, but if the weekends work out, expect me and my SO and one great 12 yo female kid. Hope there will be other female kids there about that age. Great idea Dave.
