Yeah, I recognize the yard/house. One thing about it bugs me... everyone throws a SBC in CJs. Why not a 360 to keep it in-house? Oh well.

First time in a long time that I've had a few beers. Tastes pretty good. I believe I'll have another. That is all.

I hate to be the beer-snob, but c'mon. The only flavor in that lineup is the alcohol taste of the Icehouse.

Just out of curiosity do you happen to have the video? I'm addicted to youtube and would like to see it. My tow strap with the hooks has an old horse blanket thrown on it when it's being used. I've had chains cause some serious body damage. I was taught to always throw something on the cable about 2-3 feet ahead of the vehicle being pulled. I guess it's supposed to prevent the projectile effect. Although I'm definately no Physics major.
Close game at the end for the Super Bowl. I though Arizona was going to pull it off till the Steelers last touchdown.

Just finished the first night of beer pong tourney for Winter Carnival here. Sadly we drink crap for pong but it did taste good going down. It's gonna be a blast, I only have three classes before official recess starts. This is the biggest thing we do all year, check out the link.

You don't have to be a physics major. There is some serious energy stored in a snatch strap durring the yanking stage and if the mount or hook snaps or comes undone under stress, it heads back to the end which is tied down.
I don't have a link to the video, but there was one out there where a FS was yanking on a Wrangler who was stuck in the ice. The Clevis mount broke off the Jeep, and the clevis put a 3" dent in the FS's tail gate and proceeded to go though both the pass side rear window and windshield before coming to rest on the hood. There have been reports of people being killed in the tow vehicle by hooks and clevises going though the rear of the vehicle and killing any who were in it's path.
Staps with hooks are not approved equipment for a
Club run. That should tell you something about their safety.A strap without hooks is like $40 at most.
Here's a video of a snapping chain http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2ed2HviJDE&feature=related
This is just the damage inflicted by a strap http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_q4DrnMVgs

I was talking with a professor and he's basically been at tech since the early 80's since he was a student, did his graduate work and is now a prof. But he says that sadly Tech isn't what its used to be, they're trying to reinvent an image. I say we still rock.
Which prof? He showed up about the time I was there. Although, unless he's in the CS department, I doubt I'd know him.
Tech shut down a lot of functions in the early 80s in an attempt to clean up their image. Ask some of the old timers about K-Day.

Yes Keg-day lol, when the school encouraged drinking. The same time period when the hobo cars in the homecoming parade had kegs in them. When Playboy mag wouldn't "rate" Tech in their party schools because they said they "wouldn't rate professionals". He's a forestry professor, names Jim.

This was written a few years back, a year we had a bad thaw
T'was the Night Before Carnival By: Aaron (Monkey) Richard
T'was the night before Carnival, and all through the land Not a student
was smiling, no snow was at hand. The grand month long statues all mighty
and tall Were all shrunk by the sun and looked stupid and small.
A lone senior looked on, a tear in his eye, His Carnival looked lost, it
would just pass him by The snow was all melting, awash in the streets Like
a winters wet dream, absorbed by the sheets.
When from down 41 there arose such a clatter, Like a big heavy log truck,
but louder and madder. "To Jim's" some one yelled and they all made a
dash, Leaving everything behind, except I.D.s and cash.
As the first student came, he shouted "What luck!" For no one was parked
there, but a red and white truck. When up from the masses came a deafening
cheer, for this truck was special, this truck brought them beer.
The driver was not Santa, or a cute Easter Bunny, Not even Curt Tompkins,
though that would be funny. Yes out stepped the driver, with a wink of his
eye, For everyone knew him, t'was the Budweiser Guy!!
Our Hero got out and he unlocked the locks;
for the cargo was beer and wine in a box.
In clear or dark bottles and in big kegs it came,
And as it rolled off the truck he called them by name.
Drink Molson, Drink Blatz, Drink sweet Lebatt Blue Drink Killians, Drink
Rolling Rock, drink all the best brew! Take it back to your fraternities,
take it back to your houses, Take wine for the girls, to get your hands up
their blouses!
The students drank hard all through the night; Their speech was now
slurred, they soon lost their sight. They drank like huge rock stars with
no bill to be paid; The freshmen passed out, the coeds got laid.
This Carnival was awesome, it was way above par. The students held down
Jack Daniels, they held down PBR. From distillers down in Dixie to brewers
of the West; This Carnival with no snow, this Carnival was best.
Our champion in his truck, lays down on the horn; He's back on the road,
just him, No-Doze and porn. You could hear him exclaim, now that Carnival
was over, "Best wishes to all, and good luck getting sober!"

IIRC, the *official* name was Keweenaw Day, Keg Day was the colloquial name.
Lessee..... Curt Tompkins. He showed up after I left. And I still remember Sherman Gym.
Jim's is still there, I used to live in the 1200 block on College Ave. BTW, that little Chinese takeout in the new strip mall next to Jim's? *GOOD* food.

Yes, Keweenaw day is the technical term. I live in the 900 block of College Ave. And I haven't tried that place yet.
