I think you should go back home.

I can't offer you 15 minutes of fame on reality TV. I'm up to 4 this year. Who's next.

I love reaserch that legitimizes my lifestyle.

Dru's neighbor???? I believe in telling it like it is. I like asses. Don't think I'm creepy though. No, I'm a proctologist. I love my job. I really get in to it. It's a wonderful way to make a living. Maybe I can give you an exam. Does it hurt when I do this? Do you want it to?

What if it's a really good dinner?

1' of nice fluffy stuff in the Baker bc today. I hope you all got some.

Hmmm. 2hr drive to decent skiing or 8hr drive to spotty ice climbing.

hey leave me out of this. I'm ready to talk shit with sideslippin punk asses, but I've spent a number of fine days with mixed crouds of boarders and skiers...and we've never wrecked. Sideslipping sucks.

Vail = Retard skiing A Basin has good terain; too bad the snow doesn't cover the rocks.

The first winter I was in CO I was all psyched to hear that Keystone was opening in October. On my first ride up the mountain I noticed that there was absolutely no snow in the woods. They only had one run open on man made snow. The one run was packed with people and there were ski patrolers telling everyone to slow down ever 100 yards. I think I did 3 runs before I got disgusted and drove home. The next time I skied, in mid December, there was still no snow, but at least they had got a few runs open and the patrolers weren't making a show of force.

I did a search for that column, but I couldn't find it. As I recall he did research the subject.

I remember reading a Savage Love column where Dan was responding to some dude who was sleeping with either his cousin or second cousin. According to Dan there's no proof that sleeping with your cousin will lead to bad genetic repercussions....so go for it Jake

I agree that you can't pick (or get rid of) your relatives. However you shouldn't feel like you have to spend a lot of time with them. I just went to a family reunion with a bunch of folks from my moms side of the family. Some of them are religious wackos who would try and convert you. Fortunately the get together was only for lunch, so I was able to keep the conversations I got into light and noncontroversial, however I dread the thought of a get together of more than 2 hours or more than once every 5 to 10 years.

I haven't been watching much TV for a while, so I can't comment on adds. I did buy a big ol pickup last year. Most of the trucks you see for sale on the lots have leather seats and fancy sound systems. Nobody who's actually going to use a truck for work would want any of those things. I had to special order a plain pickup because the dealer said he finds those harder to sell. I figure most of the trucks on the lot go to folks who want to tow a boat or move big things (that aren't too dirty) around.

Just cause you lived in Momoville for a couple months doesn't mean jack. In places like that Mormons are the political establishment. If you're looking for a 50's family lifestyle then go for it. Just remember if you have kids they're going to push hard for conversion. Just as an example, my friend from IF said that your kids can't be in the Boy Scouts without attending Mormon religious meetings; they're an integral part of the scout meetings. If you don't have kids then the main effect is you can expect a dull dull nightlife in town.

You are a sick fuck! I never knew wishing better for a family member meant having the hots for them. Fuck you sick one! I hate to say it, but that's what I was thinking too.

Idaho Falls. A roommate of mine in college called it Idiot Flats, and he was from there. True you are close to a lot of cool outdoor shit, but you'll be living in a Mormon town. Mormons are in control of what happens there, and they sure know how to put the kybosh on fun. Ever been to Boise at night?

If you're buying 100 gal at a time the price should be $3.05/gal. Buying just a tankfull will be $3.20/gal. You can also get biodiesel at Laurelhurst Oil (near U Village), some place on Capital Hill, and there's a station in Bellevue just south of the Lake Hills connector on 140th. It's getting a lot more popular. I started using it about 4 years ago, and you could only go to Dr Dan's.

I don't know, but I'm sure it's a lot.

I think the Volkswagen TDIs are a much better choice. You get great milage and you don't have to worry about replacing expensive battery packs. Plus like Jay says the benefit to hybrids is in town driving not highway.

That saying must have been thought up by people who never read Dante... Yeah, but it's only icy in the 9th circle. There are a few other circles where it's pretty hot.
