I like rice! Long grain wild rice with fish, or red beans and rice, rice with shrimp scampi, fried rice, steamed rice, rice pilaf, rice cakes, rice noodles, rice pudding...

I liked:

"Being too much of a wuss to take your car to a REAL track/strip because you know someone will kick your *** and make you cry so you stick to 'street racing'".

Actually, I almost mentioned that as well, but then I remembered that the MCS doesn't have a TRUE dual exhaust - the passenger-side can (or "ball" as some people charmingly call it) is just a simple glass pack. Maybe that's actually WORSE. Hmmmmm...

Hmmm...you'd better revamp your "lame" stuff. If Crashton sees it, the fur may fly...especially since he's the LAME charter member.

I was laughing my a** off reading this. I can think of MANY vehicles in my area that may need these.

...Matt and Paul, my wife caught the LED and grill parts and asked if "anybody we know" fit those. Of course, I have a few LEDs on my car, so I can't exclude myself.

WTF is THAT? I've seen "alleged UFO and/or Sasquatch photos" better than that... and those things don't even exist!

Personally I think it's a photo of two angler fish mating from the Discovery Channel...

That's some funny, funny stuff, man.

Dead on though. Reminds me of the "Bullsh!t or Not?" segments from "Amazon Women on the Moon"....

".... In this artist's bullsh!t model, we see what the UFO may actually have looked like..."

Really is one of the funniest (though silliest) movies ever made IMHO.

I gotta watch it again, now. Some of that stuff just gets funnier over time.

I didn't say it was one of the most politically correct movies ever made. Just one of the funniest. (Disclaimer also applies to Blazing Saddles.)



Oh yeah - and I like that weird brown rice they have at PF Changs best.

(gotta stay on topic)
