Banter Thread Part 3 (Back with a Vengeance, this time its personal)

man life sucks.

I agree.

looking for a little more than 1 dollar.

I will give you a slightly used pair of athletic shoes.

i'll pass.

I'll give you my nut zapper. They retail for $250... its got a lot of use on it though.

Can I get a shipping quote? paypal? I may bid...:lol:

Paypal's fine. Shipping is $8. (it's coming from the UK)

Sure you don't want to trade for stepho's nut zapper? It might keep him out of trouble for a little while.....

It still boggles my mind that you get pleasure from zapping the fuck out of your nuts... :shakehead

Weird.

some people..

Well, it happened. I was traveling west on SR160 and hit ice in the police car. I slid off the road and struck a tree and telephone pole. I likely totaled the car.

If anyone wants pics, PM your cell phone number and I'll send them. FYI: They're not that great, just a totaled state police car.

If it makes you feel any better, i wrote my car off.

That must have been a sight to see. Glad you are ok. Good thing you don't have to pay for it. But the tax payers do. Sucks for them.

That's why they have insurance...

But hitting a tree isn't covered by liability.

i'm sure it'll cover it. i've seen what happens to cruisers on all those tv shows.

The state pays for it out of their own pocket. They're self insured. Taxes :)

it's 5:30am and i'm making curry for breakfast before starting work at sunrise.

what y'all up to?

Putting off sleeping!

On a side note and random thought: I promise to post up some pictures of the GTO today. It won't be anything amazing because it's a completley stock car, but it's my car so....

What's curry?

you've never heard of curry? damn..

it's indian food. chicken, creamy sauce made with yoghurt, cream and spices. the one i'm having is quite mild.

Sure you don't want to trade for stepho's nut zapper? It might keep him out of trouble for a little while.....

Atually I was just kidding. I dont even own one anymore.

And have you ever tried it crow? It doesn't feel like being shocked at all, its not like i am holding a tesla coil next to my junk or anything. Its like one of those electric massage machines they have at chiropractors. Its quite nice actually and not painful at all (unless you want it to be lol).

they like those durex cock ring vibrator things? odd..

those pain relief vibrators are pretty good as it goes. i only tried it on my back, mind.

Definitely not... Electricity and my body do not get along too well. I have been electricuted before and it sucks... Hence why I would not prefer to put something called a "nut zapper" anywhere near my body, let alone my nuts. lol

Until now... Now Stepho has poked at your curiosity and your gonna try it. Don't deny it. lol :grinno:

I have been electricuted before and it sucks... If you wouldn't have cheaped out and bought a name brand nut zapper that probably wouldn't have happened. :uhoh: :tongue:

I still can't believe you guys are still talking about the nut zapper stuff. I think all of you need to try it at one time in a circle.

Nut zappers = so not cool.

cool Snap-on tools from evilBay = cool.

well, in my sad little world, anyway.

well, someone say something, before i start a conversation with myself.

bought some tools today... new tool boxes and a laser transit...

Just got back from welding class. Today I started TIG welding aluminum. It was fun!!!

Just don't weld your nuts together or anything.

I dont think that is possible.

Cuda, what did you get? i need a tool box desprately.

Stepho, sounds good. i hear aluminium is hard to weld because it doesn't change colour or something.

I don't know that much about it, or how the changing color helps a welder when welding steel. I'm far from a professional lol, but welding aluminum is tough. Heat travels really fast through aluminum (a lot faster than steel) so the hardest part is getting the aluminum to exactly the right temp. Not enough heat and it wont melt, too much heat and it will melt competely through.

If you can weld soda cans together, you can pretty much weld anything.

I just got a few small things that I needed... some new safety glasses and belt for my tool belt... the tool boxes were small 20" hand tool boxes.. and the laser transit was a johnson

Yeah, welding aluminum is just like Stepho said... hard because it transfers heat so well and in thin stuff you can burn right through it.

here is some of the welds I made today.

The one where I actually tried to join two peices of metal together is the best. Not bad for my first time I think.

looks good.

first time i treid to weld aluminium i blew a big hole in it. then let someone else do it.

Looks like you've got a few pretty decent welds on there for being your first time with aluminum. How'd your penetration turn out on joining the two pieces together?

I had venison for lunch. never had it before. it was really good.

Venison pie + mashed potato = yummy.

IT LIVES!!

Had to crank the GTA up and move her to get some electrical supplies from out of the garage. Woulda been nice to take it for a spin, but the 2" of ice didn't look like much supportive for traction combined with -2 air temp and -25 wind chill. :(

That is all...

awesome.

how's about some pics of the beast?

i needs to make me some monies. or at least do something to fill my time. need to get parts for my sister's car, but no-one has the parts and the main dealers' employees are too stupid to know what parts i mean.

they though i should pull the strut, disassemble it, and bring them the part i want, so they can tell me they don't have it in stock and can't get it for 6-8 weeks.

I hate looking for parts. Most of the time, I don't know the 'real' name of some of that stuff.

In my case Top Mounts. i described them enough. but the f**king pleb of a service advisor couldn't get it.

If i go to the dealer I just have them pull up the breakdown picture on the computer and I point at the part and say THAT ONE.

i did. but he was arguing with me over it only being available as part of a kit. which it's not, as i've bought parts of this "kit" individully already. and i've been quoted for the parts i want, except they weren't in stock. :mad:

awesome.

.

meh, big brother at work doesn't allow imageshack uploads :mad: Kinda mad cuz I was able to manipulate some phtos I had of the GTA and Z side by side. :cya:

can you email them and someone else can host them?

sure

Pretty much sounds like me.

I look up part numbers then go to the parts store or stealership and just give them the number.

I love www.gmpartsdirect.com ... you either pull up your own break-down drawing and get your part number or buy it online and it shows up at your house... gotta love it.

So i have no monies.

going to be paying interest on the credit card this month. :frown:

it's due on the 14th of March so maybe i can pull something out the bag.

I bought some One-A-Day All Day Energy Vitamins today... I feel like an old man now. lol...

I still need to pay off my credit card. I took it out of my wallet last November so I wouldn't use it and could pay it off. Yeah...didn't work. I pay of a little each month, but every month, there is more shit on it. I don't know how that works...actually I do. Used it to buy parts to fix my damn car. Life's a bitch...in soo many ways.

yep. was owed money by my previous employer, so i bought a jack on my card, knowing i'd soon have the money for it. then i spent the money i got paying othe debts off. back to square one.

Its amazing how the economy still works will all this debt.

inflation. :smooch:

I hate winter weather. Wintery mix of snow, sleet, and ice. The pavement is literally a sheet of ice right now. I am not going to school today. I don't even think I can make it up the hill and out of my subdivision, but I'm not going to try. It sucks, because I have a mid-term today that I don't want to miss. I e-mailed my teachers, so hopefully we can work something out, but I don't know. Good luck to anyone else here in the Midwest who is affected by this crap.
