Anyone want to go see the space shuttle land at Edwards AFB we would have to leave in a hour or less and there are no garentees?

Landing is at 1:25 pacific (would that be our local?)

THESE ARE AMAZING!!!!!!!!



THINGS TO DO ON AN ELEVATOR!

When there‘s only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the shoulder and then pretend it wasn‘t you.

Push the buttons and pretend they give you a shock. Smile, and go back for more.

Ask if you can push the buttons for other people, but push the wrong ones.

Call the Psychic Hotline from your cell phone and ask if they know what floor you‘re on.

Hold the doors open and say you‘re waiting for your friend. After awhile, let the doors close and say, "Hi Greg. How‘s your day been?"

Drop a pen and wait until someone reaches to help pick it up, then scream, "That‘s mine!"

Bring a camera and take pictures of everyone in the elevator.

Move your desk in to the elevator and whenever someone gets on, ask if they have an appointment.

Lay down a Twister mat and ask people if they‘d like to play.

Leave a box in the corner, and when someone gets on ask them if they hear something ticking.

Pretend you are a flight attendant and review emergency procedures and exit with the passengers.

Ask, "Did you feel that?"

Stand really close to someone, sniffing them occasionally.

When the doors close, announce to the others, "It‘s okay. Don‘t panic, they open up again."

Swat at flies that don‘t exist.

Tell people that you can see their aura.

Call out, "Group hug!" then enforce it.

Grimace painfully while smacking your forehead and muttering "Shut up, all of you, just shut up!"

Crack open your briefcase or purse, and while peering inside, ask, "Got enough air in there?"

Stand silently and motionless in the corner, facing the wall, without getting off.

Stare at another passenger for a while, then announce in horror, "You‘re one of THEM!" and back away slowly.

Wear a puppet on your hand and use it to talk to the other passengers.

Listen to the elevator walls with your stethoscope.

Make explosion noises when anyone presses a button.

Grinning, stare at another passenger for a while, and then announce, "I have new socks on."

Draw a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the other passengers, "This is my personal space."

Offer name tags to all the other passengers. Wear yours upside down.

When the elevator reaches a floor, pretend you‘re struggling to open the door. And when it opens, by itself, play embarrassed.

Murmur, "Have to pee, have to pee", then say "Oooppps!"

Scream out Geronimo every time the door opens.

When everything is quiet, ask "Who‘s cell phone is that?

We heard the sonic booms at the lookout spot on Stunt road in Malibu canyon today... Ran into a solo Rx-8er too in a LY gt... Not as many car clubs there it's seems. Saw a small band of Elises and oddly a small band of CTS-V's... Motorcycles galore & only 1 CHP who completely ignored us... Woot. =P

nope didnt go did some more shopping instead, then again i didnt want to drive up alone.

as for the calendar i would love to make another one but i am not sure we have the interest anymore.

played Dead Space last night, very graphic and nice graphics! I guess the perspective is similar to gears of war but i like the location much better. Chicken / keith/ kwescott what do you think about fallout 3? that game looks very good too.

Fallout 3 is incredible....definately the game I wanted when I bought Fable 2. Fable 2 was just crap. Fallout 3 is made by the same developer as Oblivion...Bethesda rocks!

Casey tried the game last weekend. Cesar has played it at my house. Denward bought it....maybe those guys can give you some feedback as well since I would want you to have more feedback prior to buying a game for yourself.

I am borrowing Gears2 from Denward...he is trying to get me to buy the game so they have someone else to play with. Problem I had with Gears 1 and Gears 2 are...they are too much like Halo for me. I don't think I will be playing Gears 2 much. Problems I have with the game are the 3rd person only format...I like to switch between 1st and 3rd person in shooters. Another problem I have with it, is there is no map. Kinda the same problem I had with Fable...you just don't really know where you are at or where to go.

i thought fallout was more like a FPS and less like 3rd person per-say oblivion. the setting looks very fun reminds me of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. ( i always wanted that game, pc only)

Forza Monday---BUMP---

Just letting you guys know I will be hosting rooms again tonight. We have the Mazdas, The Mini Coopers in C-class, both Nascar tunes (Cobalt & Monaro)....and then I came up with another tune I thought we could run tonight for some money.

I call these the rivalry series....5zigen vs Spoon. I will be placing 4 of each into the auction house prior to us starting at 7 PST. Spoons will be #1, 3, 5 & 7....5 zigens will be #2, 4, 6 & 8. This will be a money race...with about 2 million in credits being paid out. Car is a Honda Integra 2002...will be B-class and you'll love the tune.

I played Stalker two weeks ago when my brother brought down his PC and we hooked it up to my tv. Stalker is a true shooter. Fallout is an RPG game with first person shooter playability. Settings are very similar, both play against post apacalyptic world of mutated creatures and zombies. Fallout gives you an opportunity to play 3rd person, or click on the LB and you go into 1st person mode (which I am in about 95% of the time). The targeting system offers some great fun, or you can just go 1st person shooter style (but you'll end up using a lot more of your valuable ammo).

Fallout is like taking a 1st person shooter, and RPG, Bioshock and Oblivion, and rolling them up into one. A little for everyone I think....but definately a great game for RPG players who loved Oblivion and wanted more.

Only draw back to the game is the leveling system...it is not unlimited like Oblivion was...in Fallout, the highest level you can acheive is 20. It doesn't mean the game is over, but just means that you reach your capacity about 30 game hours into the game. I played through once being a good karma character, and am currently playing through a 2nd time. Have about the same amount of hours into my second game and have found tons of stuff I didn't find the first time around. I beleive there are something like 200 locations to be found in the world of Fallout. I found about 60 my first go through. Have about 40 locations on my map at this point and havent' even done the first step in the main quest.

Once you end the main quest, the game does end....you can't play past the ending sequence...which I got sucked into the first time, not knowing it. I know it now and won't see that happen again until I actually want to end the game.

This game has a lot of what was what just silly about Oblivion...collecting items you can pick up and find in the world....in Oblivion, I collected pillows, skulls, through gems into the fire pit in my home....why, just because you could.

In this one....I'm collecting Garden Knomes, Teddy Bears and Milk bottles. Why, again...just cause it is funny to see how many of them are in the actual game.

So there is a cruise on January 31st for Dave
I know the 7 club will be there, but I have not seen word on this forum about it.

Should we have the mods rename the old thread? Or does someone want to start a new one?

oh, I can guarantee that Forza 3 will be out prior to GT5. Sony is behind the times right now...they are going to need something more than just one game to keep that platform alive.
