  • Mountain Bike Maniac

    As an avid mountain biker (who didn’t go out once this year due to broken stuff), I have a silly amount of respect for this guy.

  • Shopping Mall Scam

    Just wanted you all to be aware that this is going on…<br/><br/>Two good looking 18 year old women come to your car as you are getting into it. One starts wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex, the other comes to your window saying “Hi,” while bending over with her breasts almost coming out […]
