[Toshi]

my interesting story:

back when i was five years old, a kid bearing a similar name to mine (also a toshi clark, altho my legal name is longer than just toshi) was kidnapped. one of our neighbors decided that it would be a fun thing to report to the fbi that i was this missing kid. as a result we got a visit from the local fbi agents at 11 pm or so, and i had my prints taken, after some persuasion to overcome innate stubborn tendencies. nothing resulted, of course, since i was NOT abducted and indeed resemble my parents and older sister.

...Wake up the next morning. I'm ready. The rest of TX4000 is heading to Lillooet, while I'm hanging back at Whistler. Pack up, get ready to roll out, hop on my Imperial, roll to a stop sign, and roll right through it. Confused....I tighten the cables, and the problem remains. What the crap? Long story short, the pads are shot. No riding for me unless I can find a set of disc pads. Nothing in Whistler. My bike is useless....not being able to ride Whistler because of brake pads is such a downer.

[Dirt rider]

A dude I know has 2 Chris King disc hubs, a front in mango, and a rear in gold, now according to him he can't get a rear in mango or a front in gold to make a matching set.

Although.. Im sure Chris King makes all their hubs in all colors (I mean why wouldn’t they)

Disclaimer: I read pretty carefully, and couldn't come up with anything in the rules that indicated this post had to have anything to do whatsoever with WebCyclery, Chris King, Ridemonkey, or the aforementioned Headset and contest. But just to hedge my bets, they are all mentioned now.

Make a list of facts you learned from the story:
• Joseph Stalin was born in Gori, Georgia on 21st December, 1879. He was his mother's fourth child to be born in less than four years. The first three died and as Stalin was prone to bad health; his mother feared on several occasions that he would also die. Stalin’s mother was very protective towards him as a child.
• Stalin first rose to power in 1922 as secretary general of the Communist Party. Stalin rid himself of all potential rivals in the party, first by having many of them condemned as "deviationists," and later by ordering them executed.
• In the 1930s, Stalin launched his Great Purge, ridding the Communist Party of all the people who had brought him to power. Soviet nuclear physicist and academician Andrei Sakharov estimated that more than 1.2 million party members ,more than half the party, were arrested between 1936 and 1939, of which 600,000 died by torture, execution or disappeared in the Gulag
• After Germany was defeated in world war two, the U.S.S.R.(united soviet states of Russia) occupied most of the countries in Eastern Europe and eventually ensured the installation of Stalinist governments
• His foreign policy and his habit of terrorizing his people (the "Stalinist system") had an impact on Russia well beyond the dictator's death at age 73 on March 5, 1953
List 5 new words learned from the book:
• Stalinism: The bureaucratic, authoritarian use of state power staying strictly with the Marxist-Leninist principles associated with Stalin.
• Marxism: The political and economic philosophy of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engel where class struggle plays a central role in society's inevitable development from oppression under capitalism to a socialist and classless society.
• Bolshevik: A member of the left-wing majority group of the Russian Social Democratic Workers' Party that used Lenin's ideas on party organization in 1903.
• Communism: A type of government where the state plans and controls the economy and a single, sometimes authoritarian party holds power, claiming to make progress toward a higher social order in which all goods are equally shared by the people
• Socialism: Any theory or system of social organization where the responsibility of producing and distributing goods is by a centralized government that plans and controls the economy
Who do you think the author intended to read this book? Why:
I think he meant this book for anyone who has an interest in Stalin or communism. I also think it’s meant for students doing research for Stalin because it was very informative and to the point. It also gives specific dates and opinions too. The book has some nice pictures that help get the point across as well


Is the title a good one or a poor one? Why:
I think it’s an okay title because it’s very precise and to the point. I believe he could have come up with something more creative than Stalin: a biography. But the book wasn’t meant to be catchy it was meant for information on Stalin so I think the title fits it perfectly.

Final thoughts:

I think Stalin was a ruthless dictator who didn’t care for anyone but himself and that was what made Russia have so many problems because he was trying to keep oppressed.

note: this is only part of my project and does not reflect my full views on stalin and he did infact do good in this world to.

[Mackie]

Back in grad school, I was a total lab rat - I was in the lab or in class or at my desk for 12+ hours a day, 6 days a week. Sometimes I'd go in on sunday as well. All of this bench work resulted in me having a piched nerve in my left shoulder/neck. Near constant pain.

Anyway, after much prompting and prodding by my friends & family, I took a week off to just chill out. So I was riding my bike from my place in Brooklyn to go into Manhattan to go see Bunny Wailer. I'm cooking down 3rd avenue - a fairly busy street, when I get hit by a car from behind. The back wheel tacos, I loose control. I slam into and over a parked car. The driver who hit me keeps going.

I lay on the sidewalk taking inventory - I'm bleeding at the knees, the elbows, om my shoulder and lower back. Helmet is crushed on the left side. Bike is a mess.

I walk up to the subway shaky & bleeding, feeling lucky that nothings broken.

A few days later I return back to the lab, all scabbed up and bruised and aching. I sit down at my desk and start to type - something that really agravated my pinched nerve - and realize that for the firt time in years - it doesn't hurt. In fact, it was about the only part of my body that didn't hurt.
I healed up over the next few weeks - but that pinched nerve never came back.

I told my buddy the story, and he said that the guy who hit me must have been a chiropractor!:)

That's it.

So if I'm at work for exactly 6 hours a day, 4 days a week that makes it 24 hours of work. However, I'm looking at Ridemonkey almost 3 hours of my 6 each day. So in a given work week, I'm only doing 12 hours of actual work. Am I addicted to riding my bike even when I can't, or is there something severely wrong with me?

The Summer Solstice and Honeymoons

The moon of Midsummer is, in pagan tradition, called the 'Honey Moon' from the mead made of fermented honey drunk after the many marriage ceremonies held on the Summer Solstice.



Dry or sweet, one of mankinds oldest drinks and still the best. Mead brewing is easy and cheap, although good brew requires patience. All you really need is a few pounds of good honey, a glass bottle, a really big pot, yeast, and some cheap brewing supplies like gas locks and such. There are some commertial meads, but they are hard to find and almost always inferiour to homebrew. Beware, many of them are just "honeyed wine".

The basic mead is just honey, water, yeast, and a lot of time. You can also add some kinds of fruit, to form what is called a melomel. Or spices to form a metheglin. In any case mead brewing takes some amount of patience. Mead takes from 3 months to 2 years to brew, and generally speaking the longer the better.

c) more drinking

I think mead sounds like a wonderful thing. Google gave me these:

Another fun fact:
"Studies show that if a cat falls off the seventh floor of a building it has about thirty percent less chance of surviving than a cat that falls off the tenth floor. It supposedly takes about eight floors for the cat to realize what is occurring, relax and correct itself."

(bv's note: Studies have also shown that if an owner flings a cat off the tenth floor, after eight floors of falling, whether or not the cat has relaxed and corrected itself, the owner will still not care.

Once in a snow DH race at Blue Knob, PA, I nailed a skier at 50mph seperating my shoulder and putting the skier into a seizure. I skidded down the slope about 150 yards and got up to a bunch of specators just blankly staring at me like I farted in Church or something. I wanted to run up the hill and beat the skier who was on the marked course, but then I realized that my left arm was just hanging there and wouldnt work. Some dude here on RM allegedly saw the incident, but his name escapes me.
I finished 8th of 15 in the sport class.

Back in Jr. High days I was riding my costco bike from my freind's house to my house which was just down the block and around the corner. I turned the corner only to see a SWAT team using my parent's cars as barricades, aiming their assault rifles at the house across the street. Later I found out that that house was having some domestic abuse problems and someone from inside called the police saying that their uncle (or brother maybe? I can't remember) was threatening him with a gun. The speedy ride home got the blood pumping and I suspect its what started my biking carrer. :think:

... Jack Schitt

Many people are at a loss for a response when someone says; "You don't know Jack Schitt."

Now, you can handle the situation:

Jack is the only son of Awe Schitt and Oh Schitt. Awe Schitt, the fertilizer magnate, married Oh Schitt, the owner of KneeDeep Schitt, Inc.

In turn, Jack Schitt married Noe Schitt and the deeply religious couple produced 6 children: Holie Schitt, the twins - Deep Schitt and Dip Schitt, Fulla Schitt, Giva Schitt and Bull Schitt. Against his parents' objections, Deep Schitt married Dumb Schitt, a high school dropout.

After being married 15 years, Jack and Noe Schitt divorced. Noe later married Mr. Sherlock, and because her kids were living with them, she wanted to keep her previous name. She was known as Noe Schitt-Sherlock.

Dip Schitt married Loada Schitt and they produced a Mongoloid son, Chicken Schitt. Fulla Schitt and Giva Schitt were inseparable throughout childhood, and consequently, married the Happens brothers in a dual ceremony. The Schitt-Happens children are Dawg, Byrd and Hoarse.

Bull Schitt, the prodigal son, left home to tour the world. He recently returned with his new bride, Pisa Schitt.

Now, when someone says you don't know Jack Schitt, you can correct them.

One time my friend and I bought about 10 rocket packs and took the igniting powder out of them. We put it in a plastic bottle with about 100 match heads. The fuse did not work too well because the bomb went off in a split second with my friend and I next to it... make story short, my friend was in a hospital for a week where he had layers of burned skin removed. I went on vacation with a torn up leg that looked like I was attacked by a shark. YAY FUN!

TRUE STORY

I had a Saturn back when IAB and I were first dating. I was driving down the highway with the windows down when a bird hit the side of my car (or so I thought). The Turn (that's what we called the car) had those automatic seatbelts... well I turned to look and the bird had actually hit the seatbelt track and got its head caught in it. It was dead - but flapping around in the wind.

black and tans are never consumed in ireland, for two very good reasons.

1 - the US BnT would use Bass, whereas no self-respecting irishman would ever spoil a guinness by putting anything in it, esp not an ENGLISH product.

2 - black and tans were also the derogatory term used to describe the ex WWI soldiers that England sent over to quell the uprising of 1912. they were called such because they didn't have the correct uniforms, but wore mismatched tan and black ones.

[Mustang85]

YES I HAVE THE LONGEST POST...I'm such a dork.

An elderly woman walked into the Bank of Canada one
morning with a purse full of money. She said she
wanted to open a savings account and insisted on
talking to the president of the Bank because, she
said, she had a lot of money.

After many lengthy discussions (after all, the client
is always right), an employee took the woman to the
president's office. The president of the Bank asked
her how much she wanted to deposit. She placed her
purse on his desk and replied, "$165,000."

The president was curious and asked her how she had
been able to save so much money. The elderly woman
replied that she made bets. The president was
surprised and asked, "What kind of bets?" The woman
replied, "Well, I'll bet you $25,000 that your
testicles are square."

The president started to laugh and told the woman that
it was impossible to win a bet like that. The woman
never batted an eye. She just looked at the president
and said, "Would you like to take my bet?"

"Certainly," replied the president. "I bet you $25,000
that my testicles are not square."

"Done," the woman answered. "But given the amount of
money involved, if you don't mind I would like to come
back at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning with my lawyer as
a witness." "No problem," said the president of the
Bank confidently.
That night, the president became very nervous about
the bet and spent a long time in front of the mirror
examining his testicles, turning them this way and
that, checking them over again and again until he was
positive that no one could consider his testicles as
square and reassuring himself that there was no way he
could lose the bet.

The next morning at exactly 10 o'clock the woman
arrived at the president's office with her lawyer and
acknowledged the $25,000 bet made the day before that
the president's testicles were square. The president
confirmed that the bet was the same as the one made
the day before.

Then the woman asked him to drop his pants so that she
and her lawyer could see clearly. The president was
happy to oblige. The woman came closer so she could
see better and asked the president if she could touch
them. "Of course," said the president. "Given the
amount of money involved, you should be 100% sure."

The woman did so with a little smile. Suddenly the
president noticed that the lawyer was banging his head
against the wall. He asked the woman why he was doing
that and she replied, "Oh, it's probably because I bet
him $100,000 that around 10 o'clock in the morning I
would be holding the balls of the President of the
Bank of Canada in my hands."

The other day when I was flying home from VA, I had to sit in next to this HUGE 400lbs person who started to ooze into my seat. I started getting angry when she took over the arm rest and flipped out when her whole arm was on my side of the seat. So I started yelling in her face and she started screaming cause she was sleeping and I woke up and she was scared or something and I picked up her arm and said "I believe this mass of skin belongs to you" and she got angry and started yelling at me; keeping in mind this is all happening on a sold out flight from VA, to AZ so everyone was starting to get angry at me and the fat lady. Then the stewardess came and found me another seat to sit in. She ended up moving me from couch to first class and treated me really well...I love that lady and she loves me.

Dear President Bush:

Congratulations on your victory over all us non-evangelicals. Actually,
we're a bit ticked off here in California, so we're leaving you. California
will now be its own country. And we're taking all the Blue States with us.
In case you are not aware, that includes Hawaii, Oregon, Washington,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, all of the North East States, and
the urban half of Ohio.

We spoke to God, and she agrees that this split will be beneficial to almost
everybody, and especially to us in the new country of California. In fact,
God is so excited about it, she's going to shift the whole country at 4:30
pm EST this Friday. Therefore, please let everyone know they need to be back
in their states by then.

God is going to give us the Pacific Ocean and Hollywood. In addition, we're
getting San Diego. (Sorry, that's just how it goes.) But God is letting you
have the KKK and country music (except the Dixie Chicks).

Just so we're clear, the country of California will be pro-choice, pro-gay
marriage, and antiwar. Speaking of war, we're going to need all Blue States
citizens back from Iraq. If you need people to fight in Falujah, just ask
your evangelical voters. They have tons of kids they're willing to send to
their deaths for absolutely no purpose. And they don't care if you don't
show pictures of their kids' caskets coming home. So, you get Texas and all
the former slave states, and we get the Governator and stem cell research.
(We would love you to take Britney Spears off our hands, though. She IS from
the South, right?)<BR> <BR> Since we get New York, you'll have to come
up
with your own late night TV shows because we get MTV, Letterman, the Daily
Show, and Conan O'Brien. You get...well, why don't you ask your people at
Fox News to<BR> come up with something entertaining? (Maybe you should just
watch Crossfire. That's a really funny show.)

We wish you all the best in the next four years and we hope, really hope,
you find those missing weapons of mass destruction. Seriously.¬Ý Soon.

Sincerely,



California

i should win there's absolutely NOTHING interesting in this thread. i suppose i should read more than three pages i guess.

i broke my left leg on Mt. Hood Oregon. My left leg has always been my stronger leg, and was actually nearly an inch longer than my other leg. i've had to wear a lift since my teenage years to compensate for this. The break in the tibia was very close to my ankle as can be seen from the photo below. There wasn't much bone for the screws to secure too, so in order for the rod to be secured my doctor "cinched" the bones closer together. When i was healthy enough to stand on my own i measured myself by standing against a wall. i used to freak people out by showing an inch difference, but now i'm even steven, completely equal now. i can't say that my off kilter perspective has changed. i can now safely say that developed from when my mom swung me so high on the swing, i flew off and landed on my head. But ultimately evening myself up by this process was something quite quirky and indeed neither my physical therapist nor my doctor had heard anything like it.

Just something that you all might find interesting, When the industry's top freeriders ride in the Whistler Valley area, they generally DON'T ride Whistler. Most of the real riding is in Pemberton and Squamish.
There are more trails here than anybody knows.. even locals who have lived here for decades are continually discovering old/unused trails, and more trails are built each year.. a person could ride here for a season straight and each day hit a new trail.. and still not do them all.

[Dr. Steth]

A long time ago I lived in South Africa... father's in the oil buis. My parents decided we would take a trip to Zimbabwe(sp?), then known as Rhodesia(sp?).
Just a year b/f we decided to vacation there, the Rhodesians had gone through a cival war. So some areas were still a little sketchy or "hot" when we got there.
We were told to stay at the resort and not to go out alone ie: drive around and look at wild life, without a guide. My father ignored that rule and decided we would do our own exploring.
We had mistakenly driven out of the park and before long, we were face down with another family, automatic weapons to the back of our heads. With the proper intensions my dad kept saying "we're americans,.. tourists"! They mistook it as "terrorist". Not good. To say the least it was becoming a hair-ball situation.
After a while with the "passport, Amercans..." thing, one of the guards, gorrilas etc.. noticed a pack of "Texans" (cigaretts) on the dash of the car. He became enamored with them. My dad motioned or offered the cigaretts to him. Imediatly the situation changed. The guard began praising and thanking, "oh thank you master, thank you..". It was weird, as if he'd brought them an exotic gift or something. Truly we were no longer a threat.
Soon after they let us go.
Gotta love them Texans.

Hopefully that's interesting enough to make it into the drawing because I have to get back to homework now. Homework is bad though. I'll stop doing homework soon to have more time to save the world.

I got pulled over tonight. Not more than 2 minutes later when I drove to a spot to hang out, the same cop pulls up with another one. Wow I said....what the hell did I do now. Turns out that my friend who was sitting in his car next to me was following a kid for quite some distance, and the kid called the cops.

And my bday is 8/6/86 coolest bday ever!!!!!!!!!!! :love:

it wasn't until the 1970s that the extermination order, signed by governor Boggs in the early 20th century, was repealed, up untill this time it was legal to shoot a mormon on sight within the state of Illonois.

My first ever cycling accident was at the age of 9. My family were camping, and I had taken my bike out on my own to cycle along some trails. I would up heading back to the site downhill along a gravel road, when a car began coming up the hill towards me. I was going fast, and the car didn't pull over, and I panicked. Swerved off the road, did a front flip over the handlebars and landed on the bonnet.

Funny bit? It was a police car :oink: They took me back to my mum and I went out riding again the next day.

Working With Idiots Can Kill You!
Thursday November 21, 2002



By KATE McCLARE

STOCKHOLM -- Idiots in the office are just as hazardous to your health as cigarettes, caffeine or greasy food, an eye-opening new study reveals. In fact, those dopes can kill you!

Stress is one of the top causes of heart attacks -- and working with stupid people on a daily basis is one of the deadliest forms of stress, according to researchers at Sweden's Lindbergh University Medical Center.

The author of the study, Dr. Dagmar Andersson, says her team studied 500 heart attack patients, and were puzzled to find 62 percent had relatively few of the physical risk factors commonly blamed for heart attacks.

"Then we questioned them about lifestyle habits, and almost all of these low-risk patients told us they worked with people so stupid they can barely find their way from the parking lot to their office. And their heart attack came less than 12 hours after having a major confrontation with one of these oafs.

"One woman had to be rushed to the hospital after her assistant shredded important company tax documents instead of copying them. A man told us he collapsed right at his desk because the woman at the next cubicle kept asking him for correction fluid -- for her computer monitor.

"You can cut back on smoking or improve your diet," Dr. Andersson says, "but most people have very poor coping skills when it comes to stupidity -- they feel there's nothing they can do about it, so they just internalize their frustration until they finally explode."

Stupid co-workers can also double or triple someone's work load, she explains. "Many of our subjects feel sorry for the drooling idiots they work with, so they try to cover for them by fixing their mistakes. One poor woman spent a week rebuilding client records because a clerk put them all in the 'recycle bin' of her computer and then emptied it -- she thought it meant the records would be recycled and used again."

I got into a car accident on July 1, 2004. It was a head-on on US-195 here in good old Eastern Washington. I was in a little Isuzu Stylus, and I happened to pick on a Suburban. Needless to say, I was pretty beat up. I ended up spending 3 weeks in the hospital with a broken left femur and 4 fractures in my skull that were causing me to leak spinal fluid (about 900 cc's when it was all said and done) and that gave me the worst brain embolism my neurosurgeon had seen in 17 years.

Here's the thing: I'd sold a DJ3 and a singletrack to a fellow Monkey 2 days before the accident - he paid me on the 29th of June. He waited to recieve his wheel and fork basically on the word of my friends while I was in the hospital, then was really cool about things once I got out, being patient and understanding until everything got sorted out.

Because of that, this headset should go to smedford in Bellingham, WA, the guy who bought my fork and wheel.
