since we're talking Politics, here's my joke of the day:


Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and George Washington are on a sinking ship.

As the boat sinks, George Washington heroically shouts, "Save the women!"

George W. Bush hysterically hollers, "Screw the women!"

Bill Clinton's asks excitedly, "Do we have time?"

Politics . . . lets break that down

Poli= multiple, or many
Tics = blood sucking parasites


That explains so much

lol, a little bored? i'm an eternal walking matter of boredom. i'll have general excitement for a little bit, but then it'll just die off as soon as the excitement is over and i'll be bored again, lol.

that's why my AIM SNs have the root word "bored" in them

This means Tom Brady will be back....I said this back during the end of the season...Cassell would only be back if Brady was not going to return...mainly because Cassell did so well he would be too expensive to keep as a backup.

But of additional consideration with this trade, is we lose a franchise type player in Mike Vrabel, who has been a part of the line backer core for so long in New England. We have an aging core of LBs, and we will need to use that 2nd round draft pick to find a strong college player to fill in, along side Jarod Mayo, who was defensive rookie of the year, and definately led the defense in a lot of stats. If we can pick up another Mayo-type player, you'll not be able to notice the loss of Vrabel. If not, I struggle to think about what could happen, since our secondary is already weak.

related to that news...the offensive coordinator that chose his plays and set up the offense for him, will be in Denver.....so I doubt you'll see the same level of play out of Cassell this year under the direction of the KC system.

Cassell's stats were a product of the Patriot system, time will tell whether the year of experience last year was enough to make him worth what KC will be paying him. Keep your eyes and ears open to hear what type of contract they go with for Cassell....it will be an interesting number I'm sure.

Yes,
It is the 4th generation of the 3S-GE motor. Never imported in to the U.S.

This particular model is the BEAMS (Breakthrough engine with advanced mechanical systems) 'black top'. It is the 2nd rendition of the BEAMS, which included dual (intake and exhaust) VVT-i
THey came in Celicas, Caldinas, Altezza (Lexus IS200) and the MR2
207HP
2.0litre
iron block
aluminium head
titanium valves
and an ecu that set the standard for todays motors.
This is one of about 4 in the U.S. and this is the only one that is actually in a car being driven on the streets.


BTW - we took the oil cap off so you can see how clean the internals are
