Thoughts for Today-
If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.

I followed a guy out onto the freeway yesterday, he was on a Honda Reflex scooter. Damn thing ran up to 72 and even pulled a couple of hills. I really thought I might get stuck behind him, but it surprised me. Even a couple Harley old school bikers waved at him, lol.

Stardate: 5-28-2008. I am still trapped on the planet of diarrhea volcanoes. The volcanic activity has grown in intensity over the last few hours. The flowing feces has reached a depth over my waist. I, fear for Spock, upon whose shoulders I now stand.

It's irretrievably broken. Can't be fixed. Sorry. The best course of action is to carry on as we currently are.

My watch band smells like ass.

[EDIT] Nevermind. It was a bad tooth.

[EDIT2] It was actually both. Apparently, I use my watch band to scrape the tartar off my teeth while I type. I was unaware.

Everytime someone says they "Rode the Dragon" I get a chill up my spine because I immediately associate the term "Dragon" with my mother-in-law. Spooky.

The sole purpose of a child's middle name is so he can tell when he's really in trouble.

After a full year in milk crates I finally started to put my dirt bike back together tonight. I have the swing arm on (with all new bearings). The engine in (kind of) and an overall feeling of excitement. Friday I'll go shopping for missing hardware.

Thoughts for Today-
There's always a lot to be thankful for if you take time to look for it. For example I am sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt.

I forgot what I was going to type and now can't think of what I wanted to say. Time to head for the nothing thread.

Well let's see.....either Clint gets savvy with some programming on his own free time, and puts in some of his own free time to fix the problem. Which we're not even sure what causes the problem, so it could be a monumental waste of time trying to fix something that may or may not be able to be repaired.

The problem (which I believe has been noted on one of the threads, I may be wrong), is only affecting threads over a certain length. We noticed the issue did not arise with shorter threads, so the easiest course of action would be to create a new thread of the old one (v. 2.0) and seed it with the current (at the time) conversations that were going on.
