Ok NS. Another late night curiosity survey from me. What is that one item that's taking up a bunch of your thoughts right now, that you're constantly scanning Craigslist for, or just trying to find on sale at a retail shop?

Me? I'm trying to find a slightly-better-than-entry-level road bike, either as a complete bike, or to find all the requisite parts cheap enough to build it from scratch. Currently got my eye on a used Cannondale R1000 for about $900

dude that sucks.  Mine was stolen too and I just bought a Motobecane Fantom Pro 29.  My dad is bringing it up to my summer house tomorrow night.  Unfortunately it was missing the seatpost and seat from the box, so I am waiting for that to come.  I bought it off of Bikesdirect.com so anyone who is looking for a bike I would reccomend them.  The bikes come in about 5 days.  Really good prices.  I got a $1500 bike for $800.  Very little assembly.  I will post pics when I get it.

Dude I am personally going to right out saying that I will not buy any ski gear until I absolutely need it because I am starting college and need to save my money.  I am pretty much set for books with all the money I got for graduation but college loans will be a bitch after college.  I will actually right it in my profile so I will see it all the time haha. 

and here is my potato gun.  Definitely worth investing in haha.  So much fun.  Built it 2 years ago September.

I'm getting a Rock River complete Entry Tactical with a carry handle rail and chrome-lined 16" barrel TOMORROW...

soooooo stoked, already got the quad rail, vertical grip, a couple extra mags, and the cheekrest saddle for the 6-position stock at the gun show last weekend...along with 1000rds of .223...and im planning on getting a 3-9x40 ACOG scope at the store when i actually buy the rifle, i cant WAIT to zero that thing and go pig hunting at my friend's ranch next weekend...

anyway dude, i heard LaRue uppers are boss, but i really would recommend Rock River lowers, they're just as good if not better than almost all of the more expensive other brands


OH, and im searching for a wide-angle lense for the video camera my gf just gave me for my birthday...that's gonna be sweet as well.

I got a pair of these in a trade, they aren't that great.

Compared to other skullcandy buds, they are a bit better sounding, but the are uncomfortable and the cord gets REALLY stiff when it is cold.

I would just get a pair of the regular smokin' buds, plus the smokin' buds come in lots of colors.

had them, the broke in about 2 months. bought another pair of the smokin buds, broke them too.

be careful with that. I had a 96, and it was a pain in the ass with all the problems i had with it. tons of fun, but not the most dependable. I wound up on the side of the road with the steering column sheared off of the engine block, leaving the steering wheel turning, and the wheels not moving. just a quick word of caution
