  1. Hey Hummer, stick it!!!! :blink:

     

    The Bad Boy Heavy Muscle Truck, left, draws interest Jan. 19, 2005 in Jasper, Texas. The converted military truck, parked beside a Ford pick-up, can drive through 10 feet of water and climb a 60-degree grade with infrared cameras that peer through darkness. (AP Photo/Pat Sullivan)

     

    New Bad Boy Truck Dwarfs the Hummer

    That looks like a modified version of the military semi tractors. My cousin's probably driving one in Iraq right now.

  2. Moore is a retard.  His attempt at trying to win the election for Kerry backfired.  I think a lot of people got sick of him and other famous people telling them how to vote.  Oh well he will just make another movie spewing his agenda and the left will eat it up. ( Kind of like Moore at a Buffet.) :wacko: Oh well Bush won and Moore lost.

    Here was a reason to vote for Bush: Just imagine Moore in a smug press conference on the Thursday saying, "I did it, I beat Bush!!!". You know he would.

    Sorry, but sadly the only reason to vote for Bush would be to hear the word "strategiary."

    It's the choice between a turd sandwich and giant douche. I think we got the turd sandwich

  3. If i had the money to buya hummer...

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I would buy a house instead.

    You'd buy a $52,000 house?

     

    Now if you had the $ to buy a 'real' Hummer you could buy a pretty nice house!

    Most of these people probably don't have the money to buy a hummer, their husbands make enough to barely afford the payment.

  4. If thats all I had to do with my time is watch that garbage.  Try watching some sports so you know something.

    Are you serious? You want some Mydol and a cheesecake? I echo daveh's sentiments. Your life must suck, ya know you not having a sense of humor or any fun. Your statement implies you actually know something about sports. No need to try and fool anyone that has read any of your posts. :rollin

    Sports, Sports, must constantly watch sports. It hurts when I don't watch sports. If I don't watch sports the clowns will get me. :rollin

  5. I think the H2 is just plain stupid. I'm sure it's quite a capable vehicle, but it's just a beefed up Tahoe. The people who drive them are just doing it for the image. There's a real estate agent who drives one in my building, now he's got a big for sale sign on it, :rollin

     

    The H1 is pretty bad ass, and it has its place. It's pretty kick ass off-road because the military wanted it for that. (inboard brakes, high ground clearance, gear reduction hubs, ect). The H2 has none of that. Of course there's people who drive the H1 that shouldn't either. I could see having one if you were a serious off-roader or you had a large farm or construction business that would need something like that. If you have one of those though, you'll buy something for durability, not image. And of course, you could buy a couple heavy duty pickups for that price.

     

    As for me, I drive a 1/2 Dodge 4x4 pickup. It's probably a little more than I need, but I actually do use it quite a bit. I own an interest in part of the family farm, so I'm out there on some weekends, and I'm usually the one who ends up hauling cattle. I've helped quite a few people move, including myself. My toolbox from work weighs about 800 lbs, wouldn't do too well in a car. I like having a full size truck because it'll haul a lot of things that mid-size trucks and SUV's won't. It does eat a lot of gas, but a hell of a lot less than those H2's, even when towing.

     

    Anyway, that's my two cents :)

  6. Free helath care and legal pot.   Please remind me how this is being ahead?  There are a lot of people in the US that get free health care.  Isn't Medicad(sp) free? As far as legal pot, like DaveH said who cares.  All that would do is allow potheads to be able to go to the local gas station and by a pack of joints.  "Give me a bag of Fritos and a pack of Kind Bud. :wacko:  What was I talking about again."

    Medicare is not free. A portion of your paycheck goes to medicare/social security, 7 1/2% combined. Your employer matches this amount. If you're a contractor or self employed, you pay the full 15% on your net income.

    Isn't it free for welfare families?

    I'm not sure on that one, but our welfare system is another rant alltogether. :steam

  8. Ok, so here's the background story:

     

    The CEO of the company I work for used to play for CU, back in the '60's. He mainly played WR. Now his son is playing for CU. At the same time in the '60's, my uncle played for NU. More specifically, he was a DB for NU. Naturally, there is quite a bit of a rivalry in the office, even though both teams haven't done that great this year.

     

    Anyway, I need some advice for what to do if, I mean when NU beats CU Friday. We're closed that day, so it'll be Monday. I'm already planning on wearing the nice Blackshirts shirt my girlfriend got me to the office that day (that's business casual, right? :) )

     

    Anyway, any non-destructive suggestions? Thanx

  9. If thats all I had to do with my time is watch that garbage.  Try watching some sports so you know something.

    If that's all I had to do with my time is watch old athletes run their mouths on TV. No thanks. I would rather form my own opinion than be a mouthpiece for Jim Rome.

     

    No one asked you if you like the show. You obviously don't watch it so STFU.

    :rollin

     

    That was a pretty messed up episode, but still funny. They had a couple of the older episodes on this last week that I thought were some of the best. They had the Timmy 2000 one where they make fun of Phil Collins, and the Civil War Reinactment one, "We need more S'more Schnapps" :rollin

  10. Haven't heard any direct stories about Canada's health care, but I could imagine a government run health system would have a lot of problems. Ours has a lot of problems too, health care and health insurance have gotten so expensive. IMO, one of the main problems is the litigeous (spelling?) society we live in. Because of that doctors and hospitals are required to pay very high malpractice insurance. There are as many future lawyers in school right now as there are practicing, it's going to get really fun in a few years.

     

    Luckily, I'm young, single, and no kids, so I can have a high deductible policy that's cheap. They just get me back in car insurance.

     

    BTW, I don't think our health care system can be changed by any president in four years, so it's not a Bush/Kerry/Gore thing, IMO

  11. I watch it now and then, it definitly has its moments. My favorite part is the bulletproof vest demonstations in the beginning. The other good one was the episodes with the milkshake guy.

     

    If you like that show, have you seen Super Troopers? If not, I'd definitly recommend it, funny as hell.

  12. What would have happened if Bush won the popular vote but lost the electoral vote this time. All of the Dem's wouldn't say anything about the system, and the Rep's would have brought up all of this stuff.

     

    There's a lot of corruption on both sides, and a lot of just plain old bad bookkeeping in the voter registration. There has been for years, it's just been brought up so much because the last two elections were actually close.

     

    I didn't vote because I couldn't get registered in time (getting license in new state = pain in the ass). Both cadidates would have sucked in their own ways. Althought I was sick of people blaming Bush and him taking credit for the good/bad turns in the economy. The worst however were Colorado's congressional races, we were all up to our knees in the mud here. On the positive side, the bad initiatives in CO got voted down.

     

    Just my two cents. And for the record, I am a republican, but I voted for McCain in the 2000 primarys.

  13. Moore is a retard. His attempt at trying to win the election for Kerry backfired. I think a lot of people got sick of him and other famous people telling them how to vote. Oh well he will just make another movie spewing his agenda and the left will eat it up. ( Kind of like Moore at a Buffet.) :wacko: Oh well Bush won and Moore lost.

  14. A buddy of mine and I made the trek to Lincoln from St Louis for the first time this weekend. Obviously, we're both MU alum and had our concerns about possible treatment in Lincoln. Jeez, was that unfounded. Your town rocks, your bar scene excellent, and the people...we literally didn't have 1 person say anything negative. Quite the opposite. Very welcoming. And Sidetracks? Could there be a more fun place to drink at 7am???

     

    Anyway, you may or may not usually hear nice things about Lincoln from visitors, but I felt it was warranted.

     

    See you next time. Hell, we''ll probably be back for some random home game next year!

     

    :horns2:cheers:horns2:cheers:horns2:cheers:horns2:cheers:horns2

    Glad you had a good time. NU's fans have a pretty good reputation with fans of other teams. I'm glad to see that it's still the case. Nebraskans are generally pretty hospitable, so feel free to come back to the state any time.

     

    :horns2

  15. I think that it would be best for everyone if he sits out of spring ball. Maybe a little running and conditioning, but no contact.

    I'm sure that the team doctors will monitor that and give their opinions when spring ball comes around.

    If you consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling through

    18 inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping that the food will

    swim by, you might live in Nebraska.

     

    If you're proud that your region makes the national news 96 nights

    each year because it's the coldest spot in the nation, you might

    live in Nebraska.

     

    If your local Dairy Queen is closed from November through March,

    you might live in Nebraska.

     

    If you instinctively walk like a penguin for five months out of the

    year, you might live in Nebraska.

     

    If someone in a store offers you assistance, and they don't work

    there, you might live in Nebraska.

     

    If your dad's suntan stops at a line curving around the middle of

    his forehead, you might live in Nebraska.

     

    If you have worn shorts and a parka at the same time, you might

    live in Nebraska.

     

    If your town has an equal number of bars and churches, you might

    live in Nebraska.

     

    If you have had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who

    dialed a wrong number, you might live in Nebraska.

     

    YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRUE Nebraskan WHEN:

    1. "Vacation" means going east or west on I-80 for the weekend.

    2. You measure distance in hours.

    3. You know several people who have hit a deer more than once.

    4. You often switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day and back

    again.

    5. You can drive 65 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging

    blizzard, without flinching.

    6. You see people wearing camouflage at social events (including

    weddings).

    7. You install security lights on your house and garage and leave

    both unlocked.

    8. You carry jumper cables in your car and your girlfriend knows

    how to use them.

    9. You design your kid's Halloween costume to fit over a snowsuit.

    10. Driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled

    with snow.

    11. You know all 4 seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter and

    road construction.

    12. Your idea of creative landscaping is a statue of a deer next to

    your blue spruce.

    13. You were unaware that there is a legal drinking age.

    14. Down South to you means Kansas.

    15. A brat is something you eat.

    16. Your neighbor throws a party to celebrate his new pole shed.

    17. You go out to a tail gate party every Friday.

    18. Your 4th of July picnic was moved indoors due to frost.

    19. You have more miles on your snow blower than your car.

    20. You find 0 degrees "a little chilly."

    21. You actually understand these jokes, and you forward them to

    all your Nebraska friends.

    I've been through at least half of these. Our Dairy Queen in Kimball closed in October, not November :)

  17. It's almost better if it is a breadk rather than a tear of a muscle or something. The break will always heal, tear and ACL's and the like take so much time.

    Looking at the picture, that sure looks like a break. I've had a broken bone with surgury but never anything torn. I know that torn tendons and ligaments are usually many times more painful and are career enders many times. Breaks just take a couple months to heal. Maybe next season.

  18. I think Solich usually called a quarterback draw on third and long. Its no different though. Just resulted in punting either way.

    Oh yeah, I forgot about that variation, seemed like he'd call a pass if it was third and short :blink:
