Well. I'm reminded of St. Paul saying people are so bad the have to invent new ways of doing evil :)

So, how does the flare stick to the board, how does it stay above the water? I imagine it would be coolest to the surfer himself, being in a curl with the flare lighting the inside.

Whoa. They glue, tape or otherwise afix the flare to the board. Man-up boys...hold & carry the flare in one of your hands, like skiers do when they come down a mountain, over bumps, at higher speeds.

Burned the crap out of a couple pairs of Bogners and a down jacket or two that way. These guys aren't at much risk of burning themselves, so there's that :-))

Rush doesn't understand markets or economics.

That affects the value of his explanations of stuff, which has the bad effect of driving out the right explanations.

I think he's not able to think math.

Like how two things can vary at once.

Uh oh. I'm on my last pair of $8.99 off-brand Crocs, bought from Kroger years ago.

They last almost a year.

The soles wear thin and give you more gravel sensitivity, as well as finally developing a hole for grass dew to soak your socks though.

I've been putting off going to the doctor for a follow-up physical for more than two years now.

I wanted to drop the last ten pounds. It hasn't happened and maybe it's time for drastic action.

What would happen if I consumed nothing but protein shakes and booze for one week?

SCIENCE!!!!!

Eric the Fruit Bat said...

I mean, I could go to the doctor anyway, and I could kick the booze, but science. You know what I mean?

Mitchel, I once lost a considerable amount of weight eating nothing but ice cream.

Wow! It must be crazy hard to balance on one of those.

deborah said...

Thanks, chick, why did the guy say he had to keep it from going out?

chickelit said...

I don't know, deborah.
