1. Noon saturday, in green bike box on SW madison and 3rd. Gold SUV (didn't get license #) passed me and then turned right on 3rd in front me (just brushed my front wheel, but I stayed up). I was riding in a high upright position -- no way driver couldn't have seen me. Do drivers really understand that they must yield to bikes in a bike lane -- especially in a green box?! 2. On the ...

to catch on to the fact that Sonny is not done with the mob. The Diane (love her) warning to Sonny is what now, like the fourth questionable conversation she has interupted??

Hi gang, I'm new here and was just browsing when I came across this section with a very familiar name. I write a monthly column that is published in 10 magazine and a number of websites. It's called, you guessed it, "Close Calls" The column started out originally sharing stories about pilots' brushes with nearby aircraft (as I have a personal interest in collision avoidance) but has ...

Alright so I took the video from Ca$hio's thread and added the Benny Hill theme song and retarded sound effects. I also speed up the video a little. I think it looks funny as hell. The video went from to I got this idea from the passion of the christ version someone did awhile back. btw if you're not familiar with Benny Hill, here's a couple of clips from his ...

Least you guys are acknowledging fault when you f**k up, so many times have people broken the law and nearly wiped me out. I remember nearly punching on with someone who ran a red and nearly clipped me. Somehow him running the red and nearly sideswiping me was my fault. And so i verbal cut sick at him and let everyone within a 5km radius know my thoughts.

You better get some extra pain killers, for all the ribbing those young bucks are gonna give you come Tuesday. I have a feeling your going to be hearing a lot of old man jokes. Let them have their fun for a bit. When you tire of it just give them the friendly reminder of how a good operator can make a laborers job much easier. Nothing will get their attention faster then 3 or 4 yards of "...

A friend pointed this article out to me, and it's important anyone who cares about our troops reads it. I know it's long, but the least you can do is muddle through an article about the injuries and struggles our vets are having upon returning home. Hidden Wounds More veterans survive Iraq, but the war's signature injury isn't immediately apparent. By Kelley Beaucar Vlahos When ...

Our 08 archery season has ended with 3 out of 3 tags filled. Our first hunt was for my youngest son's antelope in the desert country in north western NV. We hunted 3 weekends in a row in extreme temperatures. On opening morning, 1 hour into the hunt, a nice mid 80" buck was 12 yards behind the blind. We got the shooting window situated and when Derek turned to make the shot he sat his stool...
