My old man got me the gift of meat (Omaha Steaks). Hashbrown Boy hasn't come through yet but his sister-in-law told me at dinner tonight that he called asking her what gear I've been asking for lately. Looks like I'd better TM him and let him know what I want before he gets me a strap-on or gallon jug of Brut or something similarly inappropriate. Later, Rob. |

I've also found that this stuff does make the local strippers (umm, sorry, Exotic Dancers - capitalization used out of respect that the artform deserves) think I'm quite the big wheel. The regulars typically smell of diesel, anti-sieze and sweat (human, I think). Then again, our gals take coins so little things like being all clean goes a long way. It's not as flammable as the scent would indicate. Ran out of lighter fluid so tried the Brut on the old Kingsford. F'd up pretty bad because I couldn't get the stuff to light. My Weber was then suddenly engulfed by a black cloud of deer flies and mosquitoes the size of sparrows. Brut must catalyze charcoal into some kind irresistable insectoid pheromone. Out came the handheld bug zapper and we went to town. Being a mad scientist, I knew a wimpy 9V battery wouldn't be enough, so I grabbed one of my handy dandy 24V - 2A bench top power supplies I normally use to blow up integrated circuits (oddly enough, that's what I do for a living - no shi*t) and hooked it up to the capacitive tennis racquet. Holy crap, that did the trick. Bugs were blowing up like little fireballs. As luck would have it, the flaming diptera (the insect ordera in which mosquitos and flies belong) that landed on the charcoal did wind up lighting my pile. The brisket kind of tasted funny though. So yeah, the gallon jug of Brut is coming in handy. Not as handy as that sophomore biology class I took at Medical Lake High School in 1985 based on the way this posting has turned out. Who'd have thunk I'd remember certain insect orders 20 years later. Wazzu Mille took the class too but I don't think he paid attention. By the way, here's something to throw out at your next nerd party - bees and wasps belong to the order hymenoptera. They get their name because their wings look like a membrane. A hymen is a membrane. Scientists are little jokey jokesters, aren't they? More info than you asked for, but you asked for it... Later, Rob. | |

None of that was for my birthday though. Acute Alzheimer's must have set in because I can't remember what I got for my birthday. I do want a set of Gilles rearsets and Jardine exhaust for the 675. Father's Day is coming up, think I'll go shopping... Later, Rob. |

Other than that really cool Scala Q2 I got ya, what did you score? Lemme guess... Dave got you some huge ass thing for your garage that you don't want and had to pick up at some trucking company like a car lift or engine hoist. Mom got you a juicer-clother steamer-clock radio thing from HSN The kids got you some cargo shorts and mojito-in-a-box The guys you work with probably hacked your computer, got into your work email and sent your boss a message expressing your feelings for him. Something about how you can't contain your man to man love any more, you're an excellent cook and homemaker, how he should leave his wife and you'd make him the most contented man on earth. Shit like that. The guys you ride with slashed your tires A special lady friend prolly got you a teddy bear, NKOTB undies (sport briefs), a Sherlock Holmes caped jacket thing (houndstooth check, of course), a yellow rubbery bracelet (it says peestrong - apparently this is to raise awareness for male urinary symptoms due to BPH - brought to you by the makers of Flomax), can o' whip cream, huckleberry flavored lube, big ball bearings on a string thing and a note that simply said "I love it when you sing 'The Right Stuff' to me". Oh, I forgot she prolly also gave you a picture of her... with Donny Wahlburg Some chick at the office you only talked to once left a gift bag on your desk. In it was a can of whip cream, tub o' anesthetizing lube, a thick rubber hair tie looking thing, big ball bearings on a string thing and a note that simply said "hi, your cube farm mates tell me you're available". Oh, I forgot there was also a picture of her... and her penis. How close was I? |

| Hash Brown Boy Joined: Jul 2005 From: State of Confusion I Ride: 04 Aprilia RSVR Factory, 98 CBR1100XX, 02 R1 for the track | pretty close. got a ipod dock from dave that was probably a prior hsn purchase by mom but he didn't know what to do with it until he heard i have an ipod. she probably got it because a free juicer was part of the deal and she wanted it. my man to man love is called "man crush". we don't use the "L" word at my age. that could be dangerous. the guys i ride with are still bummed because they can't figure out how a 10yr old sport tourer loaded with a pair of 46 liter bags full of handi-wipes can outperform their liter bikes. my yellow bracelet is a special edition version enscribed "be-long" and is a gift from enzyte when you subscribe to a 5-year committment. i wear one on each wrist! got a costco sized jug of a$$ lube (mango flavored) and cracked it open at work during out weekly meeting. the guys didn't know what it was but they ate it anyway and later had to cancel the meeting because they all had numb lips and tongues. everyone left early that day. it was a good day. my main man crush is not donny wahlburg, it's mark. he rocks! i keep a picture of his ending scene in boogie nights in my wallet. |
