Author Message   Zak Ruck (Zak) Posted on Tuesday, September 03, 2002 - 07:12 am:    Well, thanks to Mr. Lee giving another D2 owner "short rack" syndrome I was able to pick up an adventure rack over the weekend. I have finally made it, Yuppie scum!! Now all i need are some kids (one is on the way though) to truck back and forth to soccer practice and I'm all set. Thanks to Rans and Chris V.C. for their help, and it was great meeting you guys. P.S. I have 4 IPS 950DR's for sale or trade if anyone wants them.   Markd1x2 (Markd1x2) Posted on Tuesday, September 03, 2002 - 11:51 am:    Zak, Congratulations ! Are you sure that you weren't always Y scum ? installed rack pic ? How much for the lights ? lights pic ?   Paul D. Morgan (V22guy) Posted on Tuesday, September 03, 2002 - 12:14 pm:    Zak, You are not a Yuppy yet, unless you can do the following four things at the same time: #1 Drive #2 Drink your Latte #3 Talk on your cell phone #4 Wave at other Disco owners Paul '00 pig   Zak Ruck (Zak) Posted on Tuesday, September 03, 2002 - 01:27 pm:    Mark, No pic's yet. The rack is a little beat up, so I'm going to take it off and sand it, then repaint it. Na, I'm no yuppie. Just a DOINK (dual income no kids) Paul, #1- got that down. #2- Never had a Latte. I'm a straight coffe kind of guy. Got to be Wawa regual with a third hazelnut!!!!!! #3- I don't have a cell phone. I know, I'm hte last one on earth!!! #4- I wave, but no disco's wave back. Got a nice wave from a guy in a sweet RRC the other day.   cartner Posted on Tuesday, September 03, 2002 - 08:37 pm:    I threw my cell phone into a river. If they need me, they'll find me. Right off the Wilson Bridge it went. WhooSH! gone. now I don't worry about ringing phones in the disco.   Todd Sanders (Sanderskog) Posted on Tuesday, September 03, 2002 - 10:47 pm:    Damn... Based off the above definition I'm skirting on YUPPIE-dum. #1 I Drive #2 I drink drip coffee while driving, sometimes Starbucks even ( on). #3 I own and talk on a cell phone (although not while driving). I have no choice . I'd love to not own one but it comes with the job (a cell phone company). #4 I wave at other Disco owners and get strange looks and people ducking. They must think I'm waving a hand gun or something... I'd best be careful. Once slip up and I'll be branded for life. Todd   Peter Carey (Pcarey) Posted on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 01:38 am:    Todd, Around here the waving isn't as common unless: 1. you have modified your truck 2. you have a lot of stickers, showing that it clearly isn't a lease vehicle I've taken to waving to other lifted trucks that don't look like morons or are Ford F-350s. But then again, I bought my rig pre-modified. I also wave to classic RR owners, they seem to know what their about. pwc   Peter Carey (Pcarey) Posted on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 01:39 am:    And Zak, if it makes you feel better, I'm the last person in Seattle that doesn't drink coffee!! pwc   Sus (Susannah) Posted on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 09:23 am:    Well, according to Paul's list....I'm a yuppie. Oh well....I wear LLBean too! I was cruising down through Asheville, NC last weekend and the friend I was traveling to see called my cell....right as I passed another Disco! I waved and it was another woman on HER cell phone...needless to say, she didn't wave back. Too hot to drink coffee yet though...I'll be there in another month or so!   Zak Ruck (Zak) Posted on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 09:32 am:    Peter, I can't blame you for not drinking coffee in Seattle. Is there anything else but Starbucks up there? I can't stand that place and will not support them. We have a great little coffee shop in a small town near us that I frequent a few times a week. There is a starbucks across the river, and all the tourists go there, and the locals go the the small shop. Just the way i like it. So what is a lattee????   Paul D. Morgan (V22guy) Posted on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 09:36 am:    Ha this is good stuff...... Peter, I am originally from Washington State down around the Chehalis area. I blame Starbucks and Seattle's Best for my current caffiene addiction. Susannah, it is never too hot to drink coffee!   Greg P. (Gparrish) Posted on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 09:49 am:    I think it's time to see Glenn post his mall parking lot curb hopping picture. I'm a yuppie and I don't care, I'm a yuppie and I don't care.......... Now, if my town just had a starbucks, I'd be set.   Chad Meyer (Ccdm3) Posted on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 09:54 am:    Zak...I too am now a Yuppie thanks to Chris! Problem is that I hate coffee and no one else in MO drives a disco for me to wave at. Would someone please pass through St Louis and wave at me?   Zak Ruck (Zak) Posted on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 09:57 am:    I don't know Paul and Greg, not sure if i can have two Starbucks loving people at my house!! Hey, i jsut got off the phone with John at Rovertym and my sliders were shipped out last week. And he threw in a free tee shrit!!! What a nice guy!!! Now I just hope it will fit my Arnold like upper body. Thats Tom Arnold.   Paul D. Morgan (V22guy) Posted on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 10:02 am:    Free T-shirt!!!!! Oh man I am going to have words with Rovertym!! I'll stay Starbucks free as long as you have root beer   Greg P. (Gparrish) Posted on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 10:02 am:    Ah, here it is.   Greg P. (Gparrish) Posted on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 10:04 am:      Zak Ruck (Zak) Posted on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 10:15 am:      Paul D. Morgan (V22guy) Posted on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 10:19 am:    Sweet. It's all good for Saturday. Hell, we might even get those sliders on.   Zak Ruck (Zak) Posted on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 10:24 am:    Na, we'll all be to amazed at my free tee shirt!!!! And how good I look in it!!! I hope it's at least an XL, then I can at least wear it once!!   Greg P. (Gparrish) Posted on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 10:27 am:    Yes, there will be singing and folk music too!   Sanderskog Posted on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 10:37 am:    Thanks for the heads-up Peter. Since I'll have a stock rig until I can get some of Dee's guards and my steelies come in I'll have to run out and get that Pokemon sticker that I've always wanted for my Disco. You don't happen to a spare, do you? By the way, how do you survive without coffee and having a little one? I too never drank it until I became a working schmuck. A cup a day will do me though... Todd   Greg P. (Gparrish) Posted on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 11:00 am:    Come on Todd, have another cup......   Sanderskog Posted on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 11:23 am:    LOL Reminds me of a coffee hut near my old office in downtown Seattle. The owner would offer some special "flavoring" for those that frequented her establishment. For those that have not been to Seattle, you literally can't go a block or two (max) without someone selling coffee in a drive-thru along the road. Seattle, WA - land of Java and Microbrews... Todd   Steve Andrews (Sillybus) Posted on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 11:27 am:    Ahhhh, Yeungling. Greg, can you believe that they (local bars) charge $3.75 a bottle and treat it as an import on the Eastern Shore of MD?!? While that might not seem like much, a 12oz. Bud goes for $1.75. You definitely have to get your swerve on before heading out or resign to dropping $40 inc. tips to get right. As for lattes, I live in perhaps the yuppiest town in Maryland where we have 4 coffee shops, neither of which is a franchise and not one of them can make a cup of anything that is milder than battery acid. Then again, triple-shots of espresso with a bit of milk will pretty much peel the paint of my disco no matter who makes it. Steve "Caffeine, the last legal high" BTW, I can't drive, drink lattes, talk on the phone AND wave while I'm giving my kids the "I'm going to stop the Disco and beat somebody" stare. The only waving going on is me attempting to reach one of the little monsters that are jumping around like fleas on hot bricks to avoid my reach.   Greg P. (Gparrish) Posted on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 11:36 am:    Steve, I can believe it because up here in Conshohocken, where I live, it is like $3.75 to $4.50 a glass for draft Yeng. Bastards. Sometimes they have it for $2/glass on certain nights though. All I can say is "Thursday" is my new lager night......... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... Lager. :D   Todd Sanders (Sanderskog) Posted on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 11:37 am:    Ever seen You know, the scene with the couple saying, "We met at Starbucks. Not the same Starbucks, the ones across street from one another." Welcome to Seattle... Todd   Todd Sanders (Sanderskog) Posted on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 11:38 am:    Ever seen You know, the scene with the couple saying, "We met at Starbucks. Not the same Starbucks, the ones across street from one another." Welcome to Seattle... Todd   Todd Sanders (Sanderskog) Posted on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 11:39 am:    Ever seen "Best in Show". You know, the scene with the couple saying, "We met at Starbucks. Not the same Starbucks, the ones across street from one another." Welcome to Seattle... Todd Sonofabitch... tried posting a picture and it wouldn't take. Received a secuirty violation and it posted anyway. WTF? I guess I need to go have another cup of coffee... Is there a way to delete a post? I can always seem to make it work in the practice area...   Greg P. (Gparrish) Posted on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 11:50 am:    I've seen this scene Todd, but I'm not sure it's what you are looking for:   todd slater (Toddslater) Posted on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 12:13 pm:    Steve and Greg, LMFAO Out in the sticks of Kennett Square our Yeunglings don't cost that much...not even at Hartefeld. For that kind of money you're talkin Sierra Nevada and above. I'm partial to the Stoudts Scarlett Lady ESB. Coffee...makes me ill. Last time I had some my brother poisined my hot choclate with the stuff...It was about 3:00am as we readied to climb Mt. Katahdin (sp?)...took a big swallow of what i thought was hot chocolate....hurled about halfway up... Greg...where do you get all these outstanding images !!!!   Paul D. Morgan (V22guy) Posted on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 12:32 pm:    Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and Redhook are my two favorite beverages on this planet....well and a good scotch. Hey Seattle, Is Cutter's Restaurant still in business. I pounded much beverage in that joint.   Sanderskog Posted on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 12:37 pm:    Paul- If you're talking about Cutter's on Western avenue downtown, yup. It's still there. Todd   Paul D. Morgan (V22guy) Posted on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 12:42 pm:    Okay Seattle, Here is another pic of a place I have consumed much Burbon at...... Name this bar...   Greg P. (Gparrish) Posted on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 12:45 pm:    Todd, that last outstanding image is of a friend fondly referred to as "English". It is on the ROVERS website from an outing last weekend to Old Rhinebeck british car day. Old planes and cars. Just thought it was funny. He will probably see it and wonder how the heck it ended up here, but isn't that where most of our compromising pictures are bound to end up.   Greg P. (Gparrish) Posted on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 12:46 pm:    And, speaking of beer, I much prefer Killian's Red, but most of the bars around here don't seem to carry it. Damn English pig dogs................   Rans (Rans) Posted on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 03:00 pm:    Greg.....I have Killians Red on tap at home, on the deck by the pool.....ans I'll need some help installing sliders in October......   Zak Ruck (Zak) Posted on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 03:14 pm:    When I was in Ireland a few years back, all the local were making fun of Killians red, being it's made by Bud isn't it? Also over there, a pint of Guinesse (sp?) was only a pound (around a $1.50 at the time) and a coors light or bud was around 4 pounds. So i had me a pint. Not bad. Although I'm with Paul, I much prefer a nice scotch.   todd slater (Toddslater) Posted on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 03:17 pm:    Paul, While not in Seattle (at least not until next week), I'll give it a guess.....Is it McCormick's Fish House ? Greg, Go ahead and...fart in their general direction. But where did you find the blazing saddles and airplane stuff....good stuff   Greg P. (Gparrish) Posted on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 03:20 pm:    Here is what their website says: "George Killian Lett comes from a long line of brew masters. As part of the fifth generation, he's carrying on the family tradition that began way back in 1864, in Enniscorthy, Ireland. On this page, we've included a few images that the family has collected in the years since they�ve been in the brewing business." However, it lists an address in Golden, Co., so I would assume it is bottled by Coors.   Paul D. Morgan (V22guy) Posted on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 03:24 pm:    Very Good Todd. Care for a Shrubbery..........   Greg P. (Gparrish) Posted on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 03:28 pm:    Todd: (just do a search for screen shots and watch for the "grail shaped beacon" Oh, I am afraid our life must seem very dull and quiet compared to yours. We are but eight score young blondes and brunettes, all between sixteen and nineteen-and-a-half, cut off in this castle with no one to protect us. Oooh. It is a lonely life: bathing, dressing, undressing, knitting exciting underwear. We are just not used to handsome knights. Nay. Nay. Come. Come. You may lie here. Oh, wicked, wicked Zoot. Oh, she is a naughty person and she must pay the penalty, and here in Castle Anthrax, we have but one punishment for setting alight the grail-shaped beacon: you must tie her down on a bed and spank her So........ step lively and stop all that silly walk business.........   Greg P. (Gparrish) Posted on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 03:29 pm:      Greg P. (Gparrish) Posted on Wednesday, September 04, 2002 - 03:36 pm:    One more for good measure........   Greg P.

I love those sissy malt beverages!!!!   Steve Andrews (Sillybus) Posted on Thursday, September 05, 2002 - 09:39 pm:    No, what's even more sissy is that Zima in front of the others for easy reach.   Markd1x2 (Markd1x2) Posted on Thursday, September 05, 2002 - 10:09 pm:    2 year old Zima.... its all yours. I bought the "Silver" a couple of months ago and it reminded me so much of the Zima I couldn't drink it.... so it will probably be in the spare fridge when the Zima turns 5.   Greg P.

I'd prefer a beer, but sometimes it's a nice change. I can't stand Zima, or Bacardi Silver, Schmirnof is okay, but the Skye Blue is best, so I guess I'm not hearing ya.

The second pig replies, "Oink oink.Once Pig #1 has completed the trillion dollar satellite launch, close hatch, and go back to Earth.Land shuttle. Oink oink."
