I rode mine for hours on end. Riding down the front stairs of my parent's house, pedaling like a maniac to see how fast I could go, and of course the parallel park slide. The big wheel ruled. Black wheels, yellow seat, and red handle bars that were almost ape hangers.

And the sound of those plastic wheels grinding down the sidewalk...music to my ears.
Let me introduce you fine gentlemen to something you need:

That's neat.

I would need:

Black wheels
Sunken seat
Pedals attached to the Big Wheel (a must)
Only brakes used would be my feet
Ape Hanger handle bars


Always loved that relaxed feel of a big wheel.


EDIT* Woo-Hoo! My new ceiling fan is waiting for me at Lowe's Home Improvement. I'm hoping to install it during lunch.

I've been singing to myself "Who's the man with the master plan? A Cracker with a brand new ceiling fan".

That's a man's vehicle right there. Get a few initial peddle pumps in there and you'll be goin like an SOB in no time. It's gota have the sound of the plastic wheels though. And maybe some NOS.

Smile: Hey, footage for Kingdom Hearts 3 was finally released. I'm not a big fan of the series (it got a little too wacky for me) but it's nice to see the diehard, faithful fans finally get what they're waiting for. As a Megaman Legends fan, I know how they feel.

Frown: Wait, what? The game looks like the exact same collection of QTE scenes and button mashing that made up the very first game. This long of a wait and they don't yet have anything NEW to show for it?
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

smile: whee new HDD

frown: I'm a bit of a digital slob, so reorganizing files and deciding what should be put on the new HDD is going to be a pain

It does seem the same but I thought the rock titan part was still pretty awesome. I've been wanting to take that thing on

Smile - firewall at work is down, so computer runs about 200% better. All sites load instantly instead of with a 2-3 second delay. It actually makes me interested in buying one of these laptops now.

Ticked - Its raining so I might not get my console record player today.

Smile: My cousin Emily is going to be a bridesmaid (and in months a bride) and was asked to purchase a purple dress. My wife is a size zero, as is my cousin. I mailed my wife's dress to my cousin, and there you go, free dress. Saved my cousin close to a hundred clams.

Frown: It rained again last night, so I couldn't grill out the pork ribs I've been planning on eating for days.

Smile: I made baked ziti instead, which was delicious. I swapped out ricotta cheese and used cottage cheese instead. The cottage cheese still stays creamy as where the ricotta simply turns into a milky mess.

Smile: I'll grill the ribs tonight, so no big deal.

Sometimes I mix ricotta and cottage cheese together, which helps the ricotta stay together better.

Sure, but I prefer the taste of cheap cottage cheese over expensive ricotta. Ricotta is structurally a better make for a dessert cheese. It is a cheese that needs flavor added to it.


Smile: Got a call out of nowhere from the NC government (thought you guys were taking the day off) offering me a job as an HR manager (I've hired people but that's the totality of my HR experience) for my county.

Really weird.
