Mogs, only if it is your OWN groin. Your incessant scratching of groins of other people and animals will not make you rich.

When used to identify gang affiliation etc. it's called "throwing signs" and sometimes "flashing signs". But I think a lot of rappers now make up signs that really have no meaning, or have about as much significance and currency as a dance step or trademark clothing item.

Quote: If you take more risks/feel more confident because you're wearing a helmet then you are likely to further add to the higher fatality rates of helmeted riders Vs unhelmeted. It's well documented. Reminds me of when they say that low-tar cigarettes are more dangerous than regular ones, because people think they're safe and smoke lots more of them... Do you think the analogy can be extended to those water-saver showerheads that only create a fine, unsatisfying mist no good for hairwashing or getting rid of trail mud...so that the overall effect is not people saving water, but people

Quote: I have a PC running Windows and it has crashed just once in about a year. Hey Orange, let me have a go at it! I seem to have the gift of making them crash several times a day.

Yes...use Ocean or Mogs. Fine tools indeed!

My latest nightmare: round about 3 this afternoon, all menu bars and toolbars vanished. The remaining featureless panel was like looking at a television screen. Though thankful in a way for the extra onscreen real-estate freed up by the newly-departed menu and tool and scroll bars, I found it very difficult to do anything at all without them. After having resort to keyboard commands, I discovered why the toolbars and menus had fled the scene: the damn machine had locked up again! So all unrelated onscreen items immediately retired to a cyberbar somewhere and had a break while I reboo

Ocean, I personally don't think much of the yellow club soda known as Budweiser, Coors Lite or Blatz. I'll venture to guess that you don't either... As for the homily: "if you like it, then it's good", how about revising as follows: "If you like it, then buy me 2-4 of them so I can drink them and make up my own mind heh". To me, this gives a more serviceable homily good for use in all manner of beer-drinking situations one might encounter. In other news, I hit the jackpot today: I went over to "Whole Foods Market" (kind of a posh organic food/imported food super

141 cups at US $0.62 each.

Are you an ignorant drunk, or just a drunk? Find out the answer right here.

Oh yes, the famous "sub spooling error".

YES! YES!! Thank you, _freak!! Of all the posters here, you are the only one who figured out that all I needed was permission to smash this rotten hunk of circuits! Nice idea about the truck. I live right next to a lake, and that is giving me some ideas too.

Yeah, right on! Amazing how the uptight, idiotic history of the FIS survives year after year to project itself on an undeserving future...and that bass-ackwards approach of fat old farts and bureaucratic weirdos who organize/run amateur athletic events continues to befuddle common sense. After I posted I remembered the unfortunate demise of the ISF. Funny, but as a kid I always wanted to be in the Olympics and never really questioned that even during all the IOC corruption scandals over the decades since then. But when Terje blew off the Olympics it occurred to me that snowboarding

Most annoying thing ever: When I get near a crash, but before any of the obvious signs appear, here's what happens. I write a post or reply on this board, then when I click a smiley or other gremlin, or click "Image" or "Italics", the entire page goes blank and I lose all my post forever... Same thing happens on other BBS/forums too. This darn computer!! I even have to save my SJG posts every 15 seconds now. Sheesh!

Ocean, are you hoping for a particular brand of hardboots, or are you wanting to try on several kinds if possible to see how they feel, then maybe buy your favorite ones as cheaply as possible, perhaps online? I'm thinking of sussing out some alpine gear around here in Michigan, and if I end up making a drive somewhere, maybe I could check something out for you. Aren't you currently rocking Burton soft boots? What US size?

Ocean, I wasn't trying to focus on the diffs between small vs. big companies, but rather to describe why I can't understand those who are smugly "core". Still, you give a great example of one factor that people focus on when making a purchase decision. I could probably call Donek out of the blue and speak to the guy who would be making my board. That absolutely fascinates me. I WILL HAVE ONE OF THOSE BOARDS!! After bleeding you of all the information about YOURS of course! By contrast, no way can I e-mail Salomon to ask about how the Fastback ride differs from the Forecas

Great post! Thanks for helping me kill half a cup of coffee and having a good old jaw about winter fun. Before I write the rest of this post, I want to state for the record that I like colored hair, tats, body piercings, halfpipes, skate culture, abandoned 15 winters of skiing experience to take up snowboarding in '93/'94, had a subscription to Blunt until Larry Flynt acquired then killed it, and can rant bitterly for hours on the stupidity, evils and as-yet-unknown environmental horrors foisted upon all of us all by large corporations and global concerns...and now on with it. In you

My computer gives me signs that it is nearing failure. EXAMPLES: The top of IE menu bars turns from green to lurid pink. Words in toolbars and buttons (like "file", "edit", "back", etc.) turn into large numbers or martian characters New browser pages load blank and un-clickable I suppose some would deem this to constitute crashing in and of itself, but since other functions still work, it is not a total lockup. However, if I don't reboot, within a few more minutes or double-clicks, it WILL be a total lockup. So I reboot whenever this happens. Very annoyi

I like how the guy said, "if work is healthy, then why don't they just give it to sick people?"

I didn't crash yesterday or today! BUT, does it count if I reboot to avoid a crash? I do this 4-5 times per day. Um...about this bad transistor in my monitor that appeared yesterday making a black line: can you start another thread for hardware issues?

Hurrah!

Hey, at least he skis. Now all he has to do is be as funny as this guy was:

Powder and Cypress Hill...who could ask for anything more? You need Real Player to view it, and you need French language skills to know where to click: Just under the Real Player on the page, you'll see the following: "Il est possible de lancer la vidéo ICI" Click on the "ICI".

Was it personal, or work-related?

Idea for another thread: what politicians end their careers as entertainers? Imagine Slick Wille Clinton smooching Britney at the next MTV awards extravaganza! Totally unrelated, but did anyone else see those bikini pics of Chelsea Clinton in the National Enquirer? They should include a rip-out barf bag with the magazine when they run stuff like that.
