Bobby's Dad's thread....

Keep well my friend - I always enjoy seeing your recording efforts and the ones you post on ewe tube. Stay happy dude. Damn listening again to Rammstein - kick ass hard metal.

Thanks bud, am doing some mix tapes for the car at the moment. A standard TDK/Maxell Ferric type tape with dolby B sounds great in the alpine car unit. Its much more fun recording than burning a CD.

Those avatars are looking good by the way =)

How are you Nav? and George? Keeping well I hope.

I wonder why they don't go head first in the Luge?

You'd think it's a lot more logical, except when they crash head first into the wall, but that would make it much more interesting.
It'd be like riding a motorbike (without wheels and an engine - sort of a 'glider' bike) down the track at absolute horrifying 'shit-in-ya-pants' death defying speeds.

(Just thinkin' out loud.....)

Head first is "Bobsled"

How nice of them to name it after my cat.
Do they have Bob's sled in the Ollies, and down the same track as the Luge, or is that just something the kids do in the snow in the back yard?

 

[laatsch55]

Different track I think...

 

[pennysdad]

Different track I think...

just looked it up.

it's way different, as it could be either 2 or 4 in the 'sled' (sleigh), and the 'driver' sits.
can't find anything about actually only having one person and going head first.
hmmmm……
I might invent a new sport, and send that one to their suggestion box.
there'd never be a shortfall of lunatics that'd wanna try it. not these days…..

Been a while since I've seen a winter olympics.

Been a while since I've seen a winter olympics.

it's a matter of being in the right place at the right time, and there's lots of snow everywhere.

I'm not an expert. although I play one on TV

What were we talk'n 'bout?? Oh yes, the luge goes either way, kinda like me...use your feet to scronch the blades in the turns, or go face first (just inches from the ice at 80+MPH )

this is on my bucket-list

See Lee?
I told ya there'd be no shortage of, uh….. 'brave people' that would try it.
I'd give it a bash, but we got no snow, and I'm allergic to gravel rash and crashing on the rocks.

 

[laatsch55]

I'd go feet first...

 

[pennysdad]

I'd go feet first...

In reality, I think I'd go kicking' n' screamin'….

Maybe I'll take up figure skating instead.
At least you get to throw some cutie chick around and have her sit on your head every now and then.
… but still, it's pretty tuff skating on gravel.

 

[laatsch55]

Yea, lots of rod rash...

"rod rash" ?

you can stop that by keeping your pants on.

Too fuuuuuunny! Maybe he just needs to zip up.

A rod rash would hurt - you wouldn't want to wear the tip off either.

 

[pennysdad]

Too fuuuuuunny! Maybe he just needs to zip up.

I always get .zip your files, and zip your flies mixed up….

If you ZIP YOUR FLY, make certain that the package is compressed first.

Good point.
