I bet I could manage.

Now that is what I call a "Random Pic". WTF!

My contribution. SWA related as always. Approach to 31L Dallas Love Field.

I really liked his music when I was 18-25 yrs old - the 80s - but his self-importance and worldliness makes me puke.

[Craig 930 RS]

Isn't that a bit close??

[swa911]

Yeah, normally you have to bring it in pretty close to the ground in order to land.

I'd go see a Police reunion. I do like Sting's music. Plus it would be cool if they started fighting on stage!

In my wife's eyes, Sting is god. But she told me when we were engaged that I should consider myself to be special - for she gave up Sting in order to marry me. (Is that an insult or a compliment - I still don't know...)

Your wife dated Sting?

Ricer: RI-sirr
(Ricer: from the latin word Ricarius meaning to suck at everything you attempt)

A person who makes unecessary modifications to their most often import car (hence the term "rice") to make it (mostly make it look) faster. The most common modifications are (but not limited to):

- Huge exhaust that serves no purpose but to make the car louder
- Large spoiler on the back that looks like something Boeing made for the 747
- Lots of after-market company stickers they don't have parts from, but must be cool
- Expensive rims that usually cost more than the car itself
- Bodykit to make the car appear lower, usually accented with chicken wire
- Clear tail lights and corner signals
- A "performace intake"- a tube that feeds cold air to their engine usually located in areas of excessive heat (behind or on top of the engine)
- Most of these riced cars (a.k.a. rice rockets or rice burners) are imports; Honda Civics, Accords, Integras, CRXs, RSXs, Del Sols Mitsubishi Eclipses, Lancers, Subaru Imprezas, however there are some domestics such as Chevrolet Caviliers, Dodge Neons, Ford Focus; small, slow, economy cars designed specifically to go slow. Please note that some Supras, Skylines, WRX's and other higher performance imports are designed to go fast, and are therfore not always considered rice. It really depends on the severity of the case.

LOL!

Me too... I have never been impressed or in awe of celebrity (possibly one of the few attributes of growing up in Lost Angeles) granted some people are born with extraordinary talent and/or good looks. So you won the genetic lottery... whoo pee ******* doo!

Don't get me wrong I think Sting is a musical genius (and that coming from a bass player). I was a fan of the Police and he has done some (very) good solo stuff (and some bland stuff also).

The Police music is kind of dated IMHO and I wouldn't pay to see it although I'm sure they will sell out ever venue.

Kind of like the Cream reunion, three extraordinary player and very cool to see them one last time... but when I watch my DVD there is a bit of a melancholy pathetic tinge to the whole thing. Sort of like watching middle age dudes trying to relive their youth.

But WTF who am I fooling... it's all about the Benjamen's and I'm sure everyone will make a buck off the tour.

alternate definition
Ricer:
When a moron (see: retard, dumbass) decides to take a car (foreign or domestic) and tries to make it look fast. The car will not really gain any hp or performance, but it will gain numerous stickers and yellow paint. It can be identified by one of the following:
1. The sound of a loud fart in a coffee can.
2. The yellow blob with a bookshelf on the trunk that is 1/4 mile behind real cars.
3. A Honda that has "performance mods" such as stickers, seat harnesses, and a fire extinguisher in full view (just in case the things catches on fire when it hits 40 mph).
4. A driver who claims his car has 100hp per liter but will not fess up to the fact that his car has a total of 43 ft/lbs of torque

Well, you know know another one who knows him. We flew him on several tours years ago.

Nice guy in person but back then the entire groups nickname was "hoover" and it had nothing to do with cleaning the carpet on the plane. They floated off of the plane most of the time.

Their music is nice but like many others I cannot stand what he has done trying to get attention in the last 10 years.
