my friend sent me this quote from some guy on his motorcycle forum,

"I swear to god, it's like I live in a trailer of common sense, and stare out the window at a tornado of stupidity."

These are a little more sturdy, maybe a little more classy? (Not sure)

If I was single and didn't love the charm and craftsmanship of old homes, I'd consider going that route. It could be inexpensive and very contemporary.

A cluster of those set up on a larger property would be cool. Then I'd want an airplane hangar style garage.

Bored? Whats that? I have been working like crazy helping my uncle finish a house thats closing in three weeks, and he is going away next week. All I want to know is where the **** is the garage door. It was supposed to be installed Monday, and the guy isn't returning calls. I want to call the guy using Google 411 so he doesn't recognize the number than rip him.

I finaly inked a deal this week, so I'm going to be building one myself on October and busy, and he gave me another project to manage while his is in FL this fall. More work.

I'm looking forward to him going away next week so I can finaly get the tires on my poor SDL balanced, and maybe wax it. I might even have time to go shooting!

I havn't even been watching any anime. I have been trying to finish Black Cat for a week, Naruto I am hopelessly behind on. Only Bleach and Code Geass I am currant on. No time for a new series.

Anyone seen "World Destruction". Darker than Black is to new to get subs on.

That is freakin' classic! If it weren't posted on this forum I'd take it for myself.

IDK, I've had a pretty foul smelling hand before.

That other stuff is way over my head.

I saw some bits of this material on TV last night and it gave me the willies until I fell asleep.
If the cop had a dash mounted camera, that would have been well... unbelievable.

Logical reaction to senseless action.

I recently moved to Arizona. In a little less than 2 weeks I've had two confrontations from people who want to fight because either I was driving too slow or because they believe I cut them off. Two days ago a guy yells at me after driving behind me in the slow lane. At a stop light he turns into a gas station, gets out his passenger side door and starts screaming at me and waving his middle finger in the air and walks toward my car and stops half-way between us and continues to scream obscenities. I'm far from perfect but the scene was a study in contrasts. I was dressed in my sunday best after church and eating ice cream in my car and here comes this dirty screaming guy... A short while ago on a major road, two guys who felt I cut them off turned around after passing me, almost causing an accident in traffic then chased me down and forced me into oncoming traffic so I had to stop. Both started screaming and after the third time of apologizing I threw my hands in the air and the passenger went for his waist. I don't think he was reaching for a lollipop. Yet another study in contrasts. I was on my way to exchange pillows at bath/beyond- wow. What the @#$@$#@$@$@$#@#$^%#%!!!%&%&%%- is wrong with people. I am a professed bumpkin but I am not uncivilized. I also know how to drive after having spent a few years in Europe and abroad. Now c'mon. I'm always mindful of my manners and try to be heedful of others but to be threatened twice in the same week because of my driving??? What types of demotivational self-worth abstractions are they wallowing in to make them readily react with such ignorant hostility toward the common public??? Oh yeah- it's simple, they don't like themselves- PERIOD. It is really that simple. They want to cause the pain they feel and I'm truly sorry for those people because they only understand themselves, E.G. barbarism. They CHOOSE not to understand, nay- care about others. Advanced civilization??? I want to know the quiet hours when these characters don't feel threatened and they let down their guard. If they have a conscience then that's the time they're human. Otherwise, they're just ugly, modern barbarians. Until they accept the challenge of life to act like a human being by being decent and civilized, they choose to wallow in a cage of proverbial filth and take it out on others for feeling pitiful themselves. You can't make people care, even about themselves and that's the worst bottom line- for everyone.

I like all the stackability options. You could stack up the storage containers in a A shape and have your airplane hangar style garage in the middle of the house - just drive right into the center. You could also have some standing vertically for some nice towers. It's like legos! If I had any money or land, I would totally consider it.
