By the way, don't think I didn't catch that Don't think I'm above posting "the" pic of you and that sheep

Last night was poker night so I did a fine job of not getting sloppy. Bad things happen if you pass out amidst my twisted circle of friends.



Are we talking about a shackle reversal or a shackle flip now? Well, either way the back of the spring is hung from the shackle.

I know its hung from the shackle, but how did you space the shackle down to level the spring? You said you were running stock shackles.

the irish car bombs i've done(i'm sure theres regional variances) have always gone like this...glass of guiness, half shot of irish cream, and half shot of irish whiskey. mix the cream and whiskey into one shot glass. hold both glasses right in front of your face, drop the shot into the glass of guiness and chug the mix as fast as you possibly can. if you take too long to drink it, the cream will start to curdle and thats just nasty. it tastes really good, just like chocolate milk, but it will tear you up and it makes alot of people sick after awhile. alot of bars won't serve them because of this. it's sort of the same idea as a cement mixer.


i think i'm getting sick just thinking about this.

You totally got the Irish car bomb right. Typically its a shot of bushmills and baileys dropped in the pint of Guiness. Goes down Guiness, you get the bite of the bushmills, finishes off sweet with the baileys. I hadn't puked in about five years, but some months ago we were out celebrating and I pounded nine of them while also knocking back an unremembered number of straight shots of bushmills. All in the space of an hour and a half. About an hour later I was bazooka barfing. I mean, baaad. It was like the blueberry pie eating scene in Stand By Me. Ugh. They cause an explosion, thats for sure.

So, everybody should try at least one or two but don't pound a bunch.

(thats your tech)
