Turns out, she put that on their so random guys won't try and hit on her over facebook. So, just my friend being a dick to me.

Seriously though, you should give us her profile so we can all send her PMs saying how much we want her and how horny married girls make us...

Smile: Took the soft top out of my car, and some of the carpeting on the back shelf. Cleaned the mold off the carpet and all the dust and grime accumulated from 13 years of being a convertible from in and under everywhere. Going to lay down some dynamat tomorrow to calm the rear-deck drone, do some trim painting, and and get it fully coupe'd. If it's nice enough to go topless, the hard top is easily removable. :mrgreen:

Frown: Allergies are terrible, and cleaning chemicals don't help. Post nasal drip around this time of year becomes pretty unbearable for me.

So I guess someone thought it was a good idea to throw a molotov from a bridge at a biker on the bike trail below earlier today. It missed the biker and he's completely fine.

I'm still not sure how I feel about it really. On one hand it was a block away from my girlfriends place but on the other hand I have to laugh at someone being stupid enough to do that since they are going to be in jail for a very long time on federal charges. I'm almost positive who ever did it wasn't smart enough to wipe down the bottle before throwing it and I'm sure they will be able to get prints off of it. Also I believe the FBI are involved since that's some serious shit to do.

Pro-Tip: Very, very rarely do police get finger prints off of anything, and fingerprints are very, very rarely used to procure a conviction. (Also, there is no way they are going to get them off the shard of glass in a Molotov cocktail.) Telling someone that they found his or her fingerprints on something, however, is a common - and effective - way of procuring a confession from a weak-willed criminal defendant.

That makes no sense. We're supposed to encourage the bikers to use the bike trails so they'd stop riding in the goddamn street and backing up traffic for miles.

:lol: Well here we have tons of bike lanes, I think the most amount or distance of bike lanes and trails in the country, so most bikers aren't in the way. The trail the guy was on was an old railway converted to a paved bike trail that cuts east to west through the heart of the south side and goes out of the city pretty far into the burbs. I actually avoid the trail most of the time since you are fairly trapped since it's below the street level and the exits are every 4 blocks unless you want to try and climb the fairly steep hills on both sides.

Most of the bottle was actually still intact. The guy posted it on facebook shortly after it happened and there were some very large pieces so it so it would be easily possible. I would assume it would have probably been some little kid that doesn't have prints in the system though. I'm sure I'll hear more about it because my roommates are friends with the guy and I guess I've meet him before but I don't remember.

Now I really want to go down there and put watch for falling molotov signs at every underpass since i can't sleep and it's only 3 blocks from my house. The really messed up part about this while thing is it was at 3 in the afternoon.

Smile: This might sound lame to some of you. So be it.

Last night my wife and I had a few friends over, prepared the fire pit, and roasted marshmallows. We also listened and sang to old camp songs such as "Camp Granada", and "On top of Spaghetti". Laughed our cabooses off we did.

The weather was near perfect as well. Overall, just a great night.

Frown: I can't find tomatillos anywhere.

I miss those times. We used to have a huge bonfire every year growing up, and everybody from the neighborhood would just have fun all night. Even though I'm extremely anti-social, it was always a really nice experience. When I first moved back to Louisiana and visited my dad's, that's what we did.

I have a vacation coming up this summer, and you just gave me a great idea. We already had lots of plans, but we were trying to figure out something to do as a family. It maybe to hot for a bonfire, but maybe just a little camp fire out back.
