If she had been on the right side of the road she probably would have missed it all together.
azpyroguy said:yea.. I hear you on this one... same here in AZ, all loads must be secured, and covered. But you still see dweebs (mostly illeagals are my guess) that dont care to tie down their loads... I saw one pickup on the freeway that has crap stacked over 5 foot above the roof of the pickup in the bed... and only tied down by a few wimpy nylon ropes... then later on.. I saw that same pickup tipped over along the side of the road with all its crap spread across the road and in the ditches...

These assholes should have there license taken for not securing there shit!!

mauiSRT/10 said:True story here.......the weekend before the last I was driving to the drags and thankfully was paying attention to the cars in the oncoming lane (2 lane road). I noticed a pickup with a pipe rack and a large metal pipe 3 inch diameter 10 feet long at least......it comes sliding off his rack as he is coming towards me. When the pipe clears his truck its now bouncing end to end right towards me. I without thinking just jerk the wheel to the right and avoid the pipe. The car behind me was not as lucky........he drove right over it. Not sure what his damage was but he did pull over as well as the dumbass whom dropped it. If I hadnt gotten out of the way it would have bounced right up my hood and into the windshield. I felt like a was having a heart attack with the adrenalene that was running through my body after it was over. Really freaking scary.

ntw0rk said:That's kind of what I figured!! I got thoroughly Shnockered on that liquid magic in Surfer's Paradise!!! Wooooohoooooooo!!!:rock:
The bartender made me do an Ashtray!! Ever done one of those? Wicked!!!:rock: :rock:
ntw0rk said:Well, the bartender takes a tumbler, a shot glass, an ashtray, a lighter and a straw....
Put the shot glass in the ashtray (preferably clean!) and fill it 3/4 full with Green Chartreuse, then fill the rest of the way with White Sambuca letting some of the Sam spill over into the ashtray. The Drinker takes the straw and gets ready to empty the shot glass and the ashtray. Then the 'tender lights the liquid with the lighter and holds the tumbler upside down over the flames. Then he puts the tumbler down over the shot glass to stop the flames, and the drinker blows out the rest of the flames with the straw.
Then the keep takes the tumbler away but covers the opening with his hand. Now it's time to empty the shot glass and ashtray with the straw. Then the drinker puts the straw into the tumbler through the bartender's fingers and sucks out all of the fumes!!
Whew!! And THAT'S an Ashtray Australian style!
What a head-rush!!!!!!!!!
Complicated, and nasty tasting! but definitely kicks you in the arse!!!!
