You took the words right out of my mouth! DON'T leave it online at someone's house; it's not a valid excuse.

oh no, you got me all wrong. i agree its a sweet ass picture indeed.

but the point im making is not to the picture, but purely evidence from the picture that the RIDER should try to stay away from big immovable objects as clearly shown. im sure he will be less motivated to lose control or whatever he did after this one.

you're really one to talk mr. im from idaho. what all do they have there exactly? inbreds... im trying to think of other things that come from there, but im really not coming up with any.

shame.

have you ever even been to Idaho? I doubt it and you shure as hell havnt lived here.
I lived in Cali for a little while and I can tell you that I would much rather live here in Idaho then down in that hell hole you guys call southern California.
And I would much rather have inbreds, that we dont really have, then illegal immigrants that are stealing our Social Security money... And here in Idaho we grow the potatoes that make the fries at mcdonalds for all you fat asses down there...
But I guess I shouldnt be talking about Cali vs. Idaho because I dont want you californians to realize that cali sucks and move up to Idaho.

as for your comment nick i agree for the most part BUT.
i do believe you need to be an american citizen (which takes ten years of proven residency) to collect social security. im not sure but im just assuming.

flag gabeb89 (Nov 17, 2008 at 0:50)
woah woah woah... hold your horses. fat asses? so-cal? where are you getting this information?

a) i live in nor-cal, and hardly that. im smack dab in the middle, so mid-cal if anything.

b) i agree we have fat-asses down here but seeing as how i stay physically fit, you really have no evidence to say i am fat. granted that the US in general holds the HIGHEST weight problem for its residents in the entire world.... so put that in your juice box and suck it.
