The only times it's come up is when I've worn my trusted AM-B headband of 2002. Then it's just
another Usenet group. Or a web site for all they know!

You in the habit of explaining your masturbating technique too? Some people have no modesty.

Sounds cool. It will be a fun project.

I had mine in my car for about a year. The problems with PCs in cars are several. Switching power
supplies are electrically very noisy; it is quite a challenge to avoid horrible ground loops. And
bootups can be lengthy unless you suspend or hibernate (I made a standby power system with a
separate isolated battery for mine for short stops). But the biggest problem is standard PC
motherboards and components don't handle the extreme environment of a car very well. You can have a
temperature swing of 100 degrees or more in a day, especially in the winter. These heat cycles will
take its toll in short order. Automotive engineers laugh at "mil spec" components; they won't last.
So expect failures pretty often.

The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than as a reflector, that is, the mind should give
an immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world.

LOL.

So merely responding to a question is "post humping" now?

Not sure. Oz is definitely on the list, but it'll be at least a couple of years down the line,

But, it says here that you are only 6':

"29 year old male, 6 foot tall, red hair, thin build, blue eyes seeks young busty playthings, age
18-21 in Erie, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Cleveland area to travel to play and serve me on weekends. Two
girls or more preferred. Come have fun with me!!!!!!!!!"

What do you want them to serve you, ice cream?

I've hooked up with about ten or more of you yayhoos for rides, and the only big surprise was how
tall the Freak really is. What a shock that you all behaved well enough to pass the "safe with
children" test. Just lucky I guess.

So there was this stereotypical Vette owner at the track a few weeks ago.

He brought his female companion thing with him, he was of shorter stature, he was oldish, and he had
some hair challenges.

He was driving a Z06 that he had supercharged and he and hunny-bunny were cooing about how he had
already blown two engines, "that's so cool" and that the last one was because he was running nitrous
during a freeway race.

It was so insipid people were retching.

To make a long story short this "racer" spent the entire day getting lapped by every car in our run
group, including a stock Civic DX.

I now return you to your regularly scheduled bmx bashing.
