  1. I've got to side with weird. Some of those were even a little creepy. I found one that was smoking!

  3. WTH is Grover DOING? Nice TR Julie! Standing by for part 3. Did you go to Port Aventura? Is there any visible construction yet?
  4. Navy computers. Ugh.
  5. Wow, I read the rules. He must have been the only entrant!
  6. 7/10 Reminds me of the old Mt. Dew ads: Do it, To it, Mountain Dew it!
  7. Yeah, that's pretty bad. I wonder if there was some sort of time limit? Doesn anybody know what the limitations of the contest were?
  8. Woo hoo! I just got a call from Nissan Red Stage Kitakurihama. They said that due to the extreme low milage on my car (11470 in 3 years) that they are going to replace the faulty ignition coil and the spark plugs in my car at no cost. They aren't even going to contact Infiniti in the states or Nissan USA as they don't want the 'black mark' on the Infiniti brand. I love NISMO! I love my G35! I was so sad that I was getting misfires, but it will be all better by Sunday!
  9. Elissa, I thought you of all people would ask nice. Of course, I'll shoot POV, but around this site someone may beat me to it!
  10. ^ Has a creepy avatar. < Has a creepy moustache. (sometimes) \/ Gives me the creepy crawlies!
  11. No, but it sounds familiar. Do you like bananas?
  12. No Have you ever watched the Smurfs?
  13. Ooh! If they are testing the lift, then MAYBE, I will be able to ride it after all. I should be there on the afternoon of the 8th.
  14. Soren! Oh, Soren! Are you alive and well? Let us know!
  15. Julie, the smooth SLC's are always hidden. Nasu Highlands is like 3 or 4 hours north of Tokyo and the one there was baby's bottom smooth! The one up there ^ belongs in Heide Park with that paint scheme.
  16. Those are the first pictures of Opa I've seen. I'm disappointed. I thought that Mt. Olympus was going to get a custom model.
  17. No. Yes. No. Yes. No. Is there a coaster you like LESS than Son of Beast?
  18. Yes, but I'm still not a big fan. I prefer the Cirque stuff. Are you waiting for a new Tenacious D album?
  19. Three Headed Mind Polution Infectious Grooves
  20. ^ Needs to get out more. < Needs to go to the airport today, but not to fly. \/ Needs to get the idea out of his head that he can fly.
  21. Sopranos But I have to wait for the DVD's every year as it isn't shown outside the US.
  22. 7/10 I don't agree, but at least you ignore the trend.
