Sometimes I feel bad about not knowing or remember people's names.  For example, there is this lady in another department where I work that always saves Tootsie Roll pops for me.  I don't know her name.   

Just call her honey buns   

What am I going to call Doggett though?

See, you're lucky to have friends like us on the forum because I'm sure we could come up with a TON of helpful suggestions   

Smoochie-woochie poochie poo would be good IMHO

I did that once when I was a kid. I basically mounted a wheel on the shaft of a 9.5 HP Briggs + Stratton motor off a rototiller and mounted it to the handlebars of a bike so the wheel on the engine pressed against the front wheel of the bike. I used one brake cable for the throttle and the other as kind of a clutch the tilted the motor up so the wheels separated. It worked OK besides four problems: 1. The ratio was WAY off, it had poor takeoff but once it got going on flat ground it would go about R79 (Hitchhiker's Guide fans will know what R79 means). 2. The engine sat off to one side, so the bike leaned a bit when going straight. 3. I used both brake levers for the engine, leaving none to use as brakes. 4. To counter the pressure of the drive wheel pushing against the side of the driven wheel, I mounted a small guide wheel on the opposite side of the driven wheel to keep it from deflecting. I did this by actually drilling a hole through the fork. That caused quite the week point that became quite apparent once high speed was achieved, exasperated by #3.

I've decided on the Blue Max GE24B 2.4 HP 4-Stroke Gas Powered Engine Horizontal Shaft.
I'm going to try & mount it inside the frame of my '94 Bridgestone CB1.
I still need to pick out a mounting kit, clutch assembly, & figure out the right drive sprocket ratios.

I'd just get a Whizzer, but they don't make 'em anymore, & the last one in VA is $2,000.

Typing "Idiots getting hurt" into Youtube always brightens up my day.

Corporate Avenger sounds kind of like a more politically motivated version of Insane Clown Posse...weirdly I kind of like some of their stuff but then I like some of ICP's stuff too.

I'm listening to one of those super nanny shows.  Its all bulls**t.

Why must every gay man on reality television be overly flamboyant?

I think listening to music is important to maintain a sense of self, and staying grounded to your past.  And if you crank it up really loud, that doesn't hurt either.

I wholeheartedly agree!
