What about Dru's dancing butthole? Gross, but strangely hypnotic. . . or so I heard.

I got an email from Netflix to offer friends and family a free month trial of Netflix. I don't have any friends, so PM me your email address and I'll forward you the email.

iain, get a Surly. http://www.surlybikes.com/ 4130 steel. Heavy, but tough as nails. My commuter/cross bike is a cross check.

That was a ton of fun, thanks Doug and John. I might just have to make some room in the budget for some tools. See you at drytool night soon .

Super fun, I have a cyclocross bike. If you want to check out a race, you're free to borrow it. http://www.crosscrusade.com/ is the main cyclocross series in Portland, starts in a couple of weeks. Redline, Kona, and Surly make great bikes. Plus there are a bunch of other small makers.

I'm interested, and PDX carpool would be best to save on gas. I've got a Civic that fits 4 comfortably, except you get rattled on Cloud Cap road. What time would you guys be thinking of heading out of town?

I'd be down for doing that on Sunday. . . if you don't mind a total ice noob coming along.

What if it was a goldfish?

Rugby is an improvement of soccer. Football is a perversion of rugby.

I'd give you a link, but I don't think you want it. It wouldn't be work safe. Ask Peter Puget for it.

They all look like they're being "serviced." Except the baby. And the wifebeaters.

Whatever Dan. At least I didn't embarrass myself trying to score a pagebottom. Have the decency to edit your mistakes.

Dammit Oly. . . I get up for 10 sec to get a fudgsicle, and you beat me to the pagebottom!

Crampon, how are you going to get a girlfriend when you have such a poop mouth?

Packing: Done - This may be the first time in my life that I've packed more than 3 hours before flying. Drinking: T minus 3 hours Working: Kind of. Can't concentrate. Maybe I should start drinking now. To focus.

I had dinner with Tina Turner in Switzerland once.

It's work safe. That thing is like the play-doh fun factory!

I'm flying tomorrow too. If we were on the same plane, I'd hold your hand to make it easier. However, I'm off to Chile. When you take off, press your hand against the window and I'll do the same. I'll be there with you, like in the movies.

That goes on nowadays in any lifesaving practice. I was at a conference talking with an malpractice insurance lady when she told me tons of stories from the medical field. Like the family who sued the hospital for chipping their grandma's tooth while intubating her (the intubation saved her life). Pathetic.

I haven't watched them a million times, but these are too good not to recommend: The Killing Fields the whole Band of Brothers series. I have DVDs of both if any PDXers want to borrow. And I'm not all about war movies, it's just these two just haven't been mentioned.

I think a big part of it is the way we're so goddamned litigious. Because of a whole assload of bad apples, everyone is liable for anything that goes on among them. We've now substituted legal release forms for personal responsibility. I just talked to a kid who lifeguards at a lake in New York and the kids can't bring anything into the swimming area except buckets and goggles (not scuba masks because they cover your nose). People can't swim outside of the shallow area, even if they're trying to train for a triathlon and are obviously in good shape. And this isn't an issue of conservative vs. liberal so don't try to make it one. And thanks to Winter, I'm craving TG. I'll get a sixer on the way home .
