Honestly that will go over with the wife better than what I was expecting though.

If it smells like burning toast, you're fine...just go to bed.

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

Well, I can re-do the packaging if you prefer. I mean, I just gave it to my staff to ship out today, so it’ll still be around the office for at least another 2 weeks.

So it's October 4th and neither the Sept prize has shipped nor has the October "winner" been selected yet.

We really suck around here.

At this point should we just have a thread that says "If you haven't won yet please post here"?

I saw it finally shipped today. Figure that either you finally paid your staff or one escaped your cage.

After extensive discussion with the steering panel, board of directors, and a visit from the advisory committee, 996Outpost is moving to a new giveaway format.

Instead of one TINY package of stuff every month, we will be giving away one ENORMOUS package of stuff every quarter. This will give me time to get off my butt and get some new members, and it will give Frunky's staff a break from having to mislead him about shipping status.



P.S. Congrats again, Gnat - you're the last winner of the old-style prize. :twisted:

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

I knew what to expect, but living in a townhouse community and with young kids I still say you're an asshat.

I think the UPS driver had some fun with it though as rather than usual haphazard leaving of packages it appeared that she intentionally aimed one of the Brazzers logos so it faced anyone walking by...

The wife got excited she'd get a few nights off. She was not amused by the false advertising...

Gonna have fun seeing how different things are between then and now:

My second least favorite sport!

I'm kinda shocked you let this out of your grip...

These are pretty cool:

Not really a Ferrari fan, but this is a nice collection of the older cars that actually looked sexy before them and Lambo started fighting over who could design an uglier car:

Oh yay! My least favorite sport :roll:

I don't think I can pretend hard enough for the small to fit my oldest. Maybe in 5 or 6 years :lol:
