still sad to see owls and hobos get more love than girls do from other girls

^ I actually see it like that too. Maybe even Washington finishing 2nd. Its just so tight, and I love that no team is below .500. I feel good knowing that the Marlins have the best record vs their divisional opponents, and they should be getting another power bat in the lineup. They need help in bullpen though. The Braves have, by far, the worst record vs the east though, and have had a lot of last-AB wins that could have easily gone the other way (you can't expect to hit walk off Grand Slams often) I could see them finishing last, while still hovering around .500

TPR's Ever Evolving Park Index

I looked back through old photos, and I don't think either of these actually had ride signs. Here is the Minor mike: http://rcdb.com/3205.htm?p=15323 And I attached a photo of the Dragon. -
bad Canadian!

^ yeah but the OP has to ask himself "do I really want to see a bunch of coaster nerds outside of the park too?" -
Robb owns stock in GSK, and it subconsciously pimping their products

Well technically its not the same franchise

Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread

I actually think there probably is a difference, albeit insignificant. Saying potential energy doesn't change since the height of the structure is constant is totally legit - in terms of the y axis. At a certain point, there is no more positive velocity in the y-direction (a=g), so no matter how fast it was when it got there, its going to start the fall down at a velocity of 0, and end at the same negative velocity along the y-axis. Problem is that this motion is in 2 or 3 dimensions (I haven't been on Intimidator, so I'm not sure if there is a movement along the z-axis on the drop we're talking about). A roller coaster train crests the lift with positive velocity in the x-direction. I would *think* a change in initial x-velocity would result in a different final velocity in the x-direction. Of course, the greater the speed, the greater the drag. Then you have friction. And a variable payload. Bottom line, I think there is some truth to a variable relation between lift speed and max speed. I just doubt the "OMGZ" sort of crowd is deducting this from physics, rather, just hysteria. I also doubt the difference would be significant, as seen on El Toro btw engineering types, feel free to correct me! I hated this stuff! -
As much as I hate the Braves, yesterday's game was insanely fun to watch break down. Thanks, Reds

Do I really need to link to the hottest girl thread? Its a joke. Apparently you like girls. Moving on. -

I only read this thread because I saw who the last poster was, and figured an inappropriate comment about your wife would be here. Needless to say I am disappointed. It wouldn't be a Dollywood report without photos of some fatty on a scooter. I suspect there will be a part 2? You already teased some of us with photos from the Grist Mill. -
And such a dive is nothing compared to the dive the entire Bruins team just took

^ Like there is a non-sweet Maseratti I figured you would say it detracts from the beauty of the car.. never thought of the yellow hue, is it best to replace annually? I guess whenever I get a cool detail-worthy car, I'll have to bring it up to Dalton..
-
^ Even the clear 3M bras? How much does a basic (or even mid-range) detail like that cost? And yes, "still a Porsche" means the best sub-$100k roadster (a sub-$100k 911 cab is merely a theory)

I think this is the problem with Pittsburgh/The Pirates/PNC Park. People love the views, but its because people would rather watch outside the stadium than what's going on inside

The Official TPR 2010 Trips Thread

Well, considering what time of year we will be there, I think the only logical choice would be a marzen!! And some of us would rather die than drink Bud or Miller!! I can't wait to get some andechser and other stuff we don't get here!
