HAHA! Oh dude, several of my fraternity brothers get the glow soooooooo badly we joke they glow just from sniffing it. Have you tried taking a Pepsid AC about an hour prior to drinking?

Dude, they aren't. Not at all. Shoulder pads are coming back for fall, say fashionistas. LA Times did an article about that a couple months ago, with Marc Jacobs debuting his "punk prom girl" look: Personally, I can't wait. I love the 80s; I'm just waiting for big hair to come back.

You're right. I forgot Lacoste didn't have exclusive US distribution back then. I stand corrected.

Jack isn't that strong...it's only 80p. There's some real nasty $h! out there, but I've never had a problem drinking Jack straight, not even when I was 16 and first got started on it. In fact, I think I'll have a Jack and where's-the-Pepsi Throwback right now...

Because they can only get with their sister and can't afford cocaine?

Members Only jackets are making a big comeback around LA this year; it's nuts. Cubical: Lacoste is the alligator, IZOD has the stylized Z I think.

I think just about everybody who has heard that irritating song got the reference.

Spent the weekend cooking/cleaning in preparation for a 500 party, got my drink on, ate way too much food, went to a friend's graduation party, got my drink on again, and hung out with some old friends (while continuing to drink) for about 5 hours. Oh, and nice Madonna reference in the thread title, ocn. I bet nobody EVER saw that one coming

HAHA SOOOOOOOO TRUE...

LOL. Well in the thread linked to in my "Indefinite Hiatus" link in my sig, I laid out some things this site NEEDS to do to stay relevant. Of course the ineffective people at the helm haven't done any of them. Just like GM. I certainly will NOT be renewing my premium subscription in a few months, that's for sure. Two dead forums does not make me encouraged to shell out.

WOOHOO!!

Ohhhh...that's pretty obnoxious. Is there a reset button on the DIC to turn it off to your knowledge?

I have a major problem with this statement. I do not believe it's legal to only honor warrenty on a part "once." I hope your dealership was simply misinformed, and that the directive came not from GM, but from the dealership management.

Actually, the proverbial little old lady who drives to church once a week and nowhere else is actually pretty hard on a car as short, sporadic trips do not allow it to properly heat up. Plus, those kinds of trips are very light on gas, leading to old gas being used, which isn't good for an engine.

Guys, honestly, lay off Vipes. If it hasn't been made abundantly clear since he joined this board, let me spell it out: he likes to bitch. Whether it's rational, logical, or just for attention, the world will never know--but that's his prerogative. It's not like he started doing anything in this thread he hasn't done a million times before. The only thing more obnoxious than senseless bitching is bitching about senseless bitching...if it really bothers you that much, then don't engage it...but frankly he isn't the only consumer in the marketplace with this concern. GM's lack of perceived quality is real--and costing them sales every day in real dollars.

I hope that's programmable--that would annoy the $h! outta me. On my Aurora, I didn't know the steering was programmable until I read about it on a forum. Now it's "firm."

Lottery?

90% of HGTV's programming says otherwise.

Who said the 80s was the decade of forgettable music? Def Leppard, Hysteria album, ensures there is a ton of memorable stuff. Can't disagree with much of this decade, but the 80s had so many good songs.

OK so Biden is my perpetual DD. There we go.

And I have no idea whether or not Rachel Maddow or Yvonne Strahovsky do either...what's your point? This isn't exactly a serious topic.

I had this virus. It's particularly insidious. Let me guess, if you try to go to an antivirus website, or download antivirus software, the website cannot connect, right? Here is what worked for me--and it kept coming back for a little over a week...I'm guessing that initially the software didn't catch all of it until after multiple updates: Download Avast! and SUPERantispyware...but download them from another computer, and transfer them to the infected computer via USB stick. Rename the setup files something other than what they are called...like "omg.exe" or something. During installation, rename the folder path to, again, "omg" or anything other than the program name. Finally, after installation, go to the program files and rename the application to "omg.exe" or whatever you chose, and update the shortcut paths accordingly. Do this for both of these programs so the virus won't block your software from launching. Do full system scans, one following the other, and then schedule one to do a boot scan. Check the program settings so that it automatically deletes everything--otherwise, you will need to watch your computer get scanned and manually tell it to delete the offending files as it detects them for a period of several hours. Save yourself the time, and have it delete them automatically on sight. I forget which of the two programs has this "feature," but I think it was SUPER. After that boot scan completes, do the other, again making sure to automate it as much as possible. I believe I ran Avast! first, and SUPER second in each case...and I had good results. Hope this helps!

Do you really want to spend more than what the car is worth? Honestly, the 3800 is pretty good. When did you buy the Riv? What was the history on the vehicle? I'd also get a second opinion on everything...

Ohhh...lucky. I'd love to be able to choose 100% renewable.

1. Joe Biden 2. Rachel Maddow 3. Yvonne Strahovsky 4. Robert Moses 5. Vicki Gunvalson Biden seems like he'd be really funny, and conversation would never get dull. Maddow has a great sense of irony and, again, conversation shouldn't lull. Strahovsky is hot and Australian. Moses is one of my personal heroes. Gunvalson is for comic relief, and she's a huge lush. MASSIVE lush.
