it's true. gonzo said so. pity me. :-(

sorry, not fast enough.

I'm not gonna try to search if there were other threads done about this, based on the events that I just experienced a few minutes ago.

So, I'm trying to find the American Chopper thread.

So, silly me, I decide to use the search function, thinking it will give me what I'm looking for.

I type in american chopper into the box.
Post topics and titles.
I select the Entertainment Unlimited forum.
Topic Titles and Posts.
This Month or Older.

So, I get a whole slew of threads. 4 pages worth. Now, I realize the mistake I made; it's giving me threads with either the word american or chopper, or both, and, for the most part, they are in the Entertainment Unlimited forum.

But, on the first page, I get this one particular thread.

i want to buy a bike

Neither the word american nor chopper appear in that thread.

In fact, the only thing related to the word chopper is the fact that the thread is about bicycles.

On top of that, the thread is in The Pit.


I am now convinced that the search function.and maybe the board for that matter, has achieved total conciousness, and is now giving me back threads related to the genre of the topics I'm searching for. So, be careful, at any moment, the board might kill you.

I don't know what it is. I mean, it's not a great movie, and it glorifies a man who is only the greatest drug dealer of all time in his own mind.

But, I just always have enjoyed this movie. Maybe it's Johnny Depp, or maybe it's something else, but I just really love this movie.

It's on USA right now, and I just have to watch it. It's just so damn enjoyable to watch.

i went to best buy to get the chappelles show dvd, but it sold out. i saw some black guy looking in the TV show section of dvds so me, being psychic and all, realize he must be looking for the same thing. so i didnt want to say "you lookin fo the chappelles show dvd, homes?" cause that may seem racist. so i ask "what are you looking for?"

"chappelles show dvd" ...duh

"they sold out this morning i asked the guy"

"oh snap...you try coconuts yet?"

"nah but im gunna go there i think"

so walking to coconuts i see the guy driving there so we give each other the head nod that the homies do. i almost felt like my ancestors had too, suffered through years of slavery and opression for that one moment.

oh yeah...it was sold out there too.

So my buddy thinks I should go into business building custom computers for people. Small business, can do it out of my garage, low startup capital, something I'm good at, etc.

Downside is I don't see how that would ever be a full time business, and I'd hate to have to balance that with a "real job" which I don't currently have.

What do y'all think? Is there a market for such a thing? Would you ever go to some guy working out of his garage (or a strip mall, etc)?

Ok, whose got the beef?

Are these people insane? What Bible did they read where the Jews didn't kill Jesus? The Jews acknowledge killing Jesus, Jesus was a Jew for christsake!!!

LEAN AND MEAN

February 24, 2004 -- TAMPA - If Derek Jeter is the big loser in the Yankees' acquisition of Alex Rodriguez then Gary Sheffield and, especially, Jason Giambi are the big winners.
A-Rod already is overshadowing Jeter and every other Yankee. That is just fine with Giambi and Sheffield, whose grand jury testimony in the BALCO steroid case was going to pale to the media grand inquisition both were going to face regularly this spring.

But then A-Rod came along and now Giambi and Sheffield are behind him in both the Yankee batting order and pecking order. Since both men were snippy when questioned about illegal performance enhancers in the Legends Field clubhouse yesterday, they should be grateful that all A-Rod, all the time has diminished what would have been persistent queries about the kind of team chemistry neither wants to discuss.

No other club has two players this large ensnared in the BALCO case, though Giambi's size is in question. If you think he came up small by asking out of the World Series Game 5 lineup last year, you should see him now.

Giambi claimed he has lost only four pounds, from 232 to 228, but the clubhouse consensus was at least 15. A four-pound loss on Giambi would be near imperceptible, but he looked as if someone stuck a pin in him and let out the air, so noticeably streamlined was he in all areas, including his face.

But this is not the kind of cheating that brings suspicion about Giambi. Take a look at the 1992 Team USA picture of Giambi accompanying this column.



He was a little third baseman. It is hard to tell a decade later that it was the same person. He began to grow in bulk when Mark McGwire became his workout partner and McGwire was a user of androstenedione, legal at the time but since banned.



Giambi stresses the need to have his personal trainer with him at nearly all times. The knee injury he incurred (patella tendinitis) is one often related to steroid users and is similar to the one that ended McGwire's career.

Giambi is suddenly lean and less overly muscled as baseball's drug-testing policy grows stiffer and questions about his involvement with BALCO are intense. Giambi also was thinner - but not this thin - to begin last spring, the first with mandatory drug testing. He then bulked up significantly as the season went along.

When asked if he had ever used illegal performance enhancers, Giambi asked, "Do you mean steroids?" and then said, "No."

Sheffield described issues like this as "like a fly on my shoulder," but snapped at the reporter who first asked about steroids and barked "next question" each time he finished a response about illegal drugs.

Giambi also was hardly all smiles in saying he would not discuss his grand jury testimony and explaining he cannot control if people remained suspicious about him.

But as off-put as Giambi and Sheffield were, this could all be far worse for them, particularly Giambi, who also would be hounded more persistently about not getting on the field against Florida in Game 5. Joe Torre surmised that this steroid issue is not "going away" soon and could lurk around his team.

However, the ferocity of the focus is greatly lessened. Today, Rodriguez and Jeter take the field together for the first time as Yankees. And these days A-Rod is the media's drug of choice.
