+1 on Challenger - we were compelled to watch by our science teacher. It was an awkward silence I will never forget. It may have been last truly human moment we as a "people" experienced before we as a people saw retards crash planes for their bizarro jebus.

My bad!
Here's a 4-wheel drift:
Challenger.... I had been laid off on Jan 2 of that yr... was lying on the couch that morning, decided to flip channels and watch the launch.... the visual will never leave me...
ironically I was in Civics class (9th grade) when the announcement was made about Kennedy being shot...
was at work (factory) when 9/11... didn't find out anything 'til ~10 am then only sketchy info for about another hr
While I remember challenger, I was in 1st grade, so the shock wasnt there for me - I couldnt grasp the fact that people were in there carrying our hopes with them into the sky that day.
I was a junior in college when 9/11 happened. I was away at band camp (no jokes) in the middle of rural indiana and we had no TVs in our dorm rooms. We didnt find out until the second tower was hit and Americans began to realize the magnitude of the day (maybe 10:30 am or so?). We reallly began to find out when everyones cell phones started to ring, and people stopped practicing and a weird sea of shocked faces and gasps came over us. Those who werent getting calls were getting filled in by others, and the eeriest silence I ever heard sorta swarmed the field of 200 or so people as people formed into small groups and oddly quiet conversations took place. I didnt have my phone on me out on the practice field that morning, it was off in one of the smaller indoor facilities, and so I took off to call my folks. I called my mom and when she picked up she didnt say hi or anything, the first thing she sai to me was a quiet "what have you heard?" I told her we had no TVs or anything and that we heard America was under attack, and she said "yes sweetie, America is under attack, and I miss you". I was just as shocked as she was, and the rest of everyone, and I asked her if the world was going to be a different place when I got home, and she just said "yes, I think it will be, it will not be the same world it was when you left". I told her to tell my dad I loved him (he couldnt get to the phone) and to tell My sis and bro the same. After that, a lot of us couldnt get through on the phones...the small celular phone infrastructure inthis little town couldnt handle the volumes of calls, so most of us were shut off. We did see fighters fly overhead, headed east - and we all knew that was in direct response to the situation. The speed and roar was unbelievable. If it were not for 2 football fields of cleared trees headed perfectly east/west you wouldve missed them. It wasnt for 3 more days that we saw another plane - it was the oddest thing - we all stopped in silence and watched it fly over - you almost couldnt see it, it was soooo high up. The contrails of its exhaust where clearly visible though, we just watched it fly over, and it took us right back to that crazy feeling. I think thats my generations Nov 22, 1963. We all will know where we were and remember exactly how we felt.
sorry for the loooong post, I just hadnt thought about it in detail like that in some time...

Challenger - at another busy day at work. I walked past the customer waiting area where the TV was tuned to the lift-off and watched it happen. The rest of the day REALLY sucked.
9/11 - helping a buddy prep for his first runs at the Solo Nats. Another buddy happened to have his 2"-screen LCD TV turned on. He called us over to see a fire in the upper story's in one the Twin Towers; we watched live as the second plane hit.
Normally, the skies over Topeka are criss-crossed with airliner contrails and you always heard military noises at Forbes. Within minutes of the attack, the sky featured at least a half dozen circular contrail from flights halted and put "on hold". The base, and everything/everyone remotely close-by was silent and under tight security within minutes.
A lot of things have REALLY sucked since 9/11.
pin up girls.. nuff said
I got to leave school early so I could watch the first shuttle landing. Don't remember the explosion, the success made a bigger impression on me than the failure. I guess I always figured that big projects sometimes mean big risks.
Yesterday's activity - mountain biking in the aspens. It's a lot cooler at 7000'.

Better: Type 65 wheel for M5. For more awesome, put a set of the 18x9.5 rears on the front as well.
I went windsurfing in Hurricane Hugo. In Canada. Those winds went a long way.
Hurricane Ike (or Ivan - cant remember ) liberated a majority of my roofing approx 6 mos after buying my first house...zomfgawesomewinsauce
Man, lots of you guys seem to think "Curves" require lots of bodyfat. Fat is responsible for breasts and that's about it. The hip/waist curve is almost all bone structure, and the butt is mostly muscle and bone structure. Curves are mostly genetic. You can expose the waist curve by getting leaner, increase the butt curve with exercise, and if you desire, exaggerate the chest curves with implants. Fat usually just mutes the curve or covers them up.

No need. (Refer to our recent 'WTF Tom' thread.) Here's a comparison that, IMHO, doesn't involve extremes; Audrina Patridge (skinny) VS Aubrey O’Day (curvy):
Samantha Harris and Leona Lewis
I'd happily spend quality time with any of these women....but I prefer curvy.

If those women are at the extreme ends of your acceptible range, I feel sorry for 98.8% of the women in the world, who, due to your standards, will never get to enjoy your perfect studly form.
In honor of tonights episode of Mad Men, I do not know what you would call her, but this is how I like my women!

They used to call that full figured.
A little big for my tastes, but I love the red.
What is this "Mad Men" thing of which you speak?

Her name is christina hendricks.
No, no, her name is Goddess.

Um.....you may want to redirect the hate/sarcasm to some other posters instead of me. I never said that the girls in the comparison pictures were at "the extreme ends of [my] acceptable range," and to the best of my recollection, I'm the ONLY guy here who has previously linked to plus sized models.
