    If NBA players weren't allowed in Olympics

    The US dominated Olympic basketball before NBA players were allowed to compete. Taking NBA players out of the equation again wouldn't change anything.

    How often do you drink?

    I'm almost 30, and went with the 1-2 times a week because that's probably what it averages out to over the course of a year. Right now I'm not drinking at all because I'm trying to shed a few pounds before the summer ends. When school is in session, I'll usually go out 1-3 nights per week...

    Something to break the nerves? (For Surgery)

    Surgery really isn't that bad. The worst part of the anesthesia is when they put the IV in your arm. When they knock you out, they'll tell you to start counting backwards from 100 and you'll be out cold before you reach 90. The next thing you'll remember is waking up in the recovery room...

    TV Shows You Cannot Stand

    Most anything on the "History" Channel, but especially Ancient Aliens. The sheer amount of intellectual and academic dishonesty it takes to produce such a show is mind-boggling. Pretty sure I nearly suffered a stroke while yelling at my television the first time I saw that show.

    High Trestle Trail intox

    I agree with everyone else's sentiment that I have no problem with people walking or whatever on bike trails as long as they're not taking up the entire width of the trail. After all, most "bike trails" are in reality just "anything that's not a motorized vehicle" trails. When I lived in...

    High Trestle Trail intox

    This is pretty much sums up my behavior as well. The only time I'll blow a stop sign is when it's early morning and I can clearly see there's absolutely no other traffic in sight.

    High Trestle Trail intox

    I can definitely understand that. I briefly moved back to the midwest a few years ago (Champaign, IL) before leaving again and I must say the average cyclist in that town even filled me with rage at times when they would do things like ride against traffic on 1-way streets, blow through stop...

    High Trestle Trail intox

    This is one of the things I don't miss about Iowa at all. Yeah, as a cyclist you experience a certain level of hostility no matter where you are, but Iowa (and just midwestern in general) drivers have been some of the worst in this respect that I have ever experienced.

    High Trestle Trail intox

    That's what they do here. Fayetteville has a bike trail that is very well designed. It goes north/south through town crossing a lot of roads, most of which just have "cyclists must yield" signs. It also helps that on some of the major roads they have speed tables and warning lights at the...

    This sounds like my brother, just replace "motivational posts" with "stupid AA bullcrap."

    I guess I can see that, but it still seems a little excessive to me.

    Posts you hate on Facebook.

    It's not the fact that they post pictures, it's the frequency at which the post pictures of their kids. I don't particularly like children, but it's nice to be able to stay connected with old friends and see their kids growing up. On the other hand, I don't need to see 20 crappy cell-phone...

    ****OFFICIAL TOUR DE FRANCE 2012 DISCUSSION THREAD****

    Yeah, same here. There's also maybe an outside chance I would be ok with people taking synthetic EPO.

    I hate it when people put those creepy 3D ultrasound images of their unborn child as their profile pictures.

    ****OFFICIAL TOUR DE FRANCE 2012 DISCUSSION THREAD****

    I don't really care whether or not he was doping. It's cycling. Pretty much everyone is doping - some are just better at staying ahead of the tests than others. And whether someone is doping or not, that person has to be a physical freak of nature from the beginning to even contemplate doing...

    We should rid the world of Pit Bulls

    Honestly, that article doesn't prove much of anything. It's grouping several breeds together into one "Pit Bull-type" and as far as I can tell it never actually defines what constitutes this "type." A quick search through google leads me to believe that at minimum this includes three...

    Netflix Streaming Device

    My TV (Sony Bravia) has a built-in Netflix app. Before getting that TV, I used my Xbox. Prior to that I hooked my laptop up via HDMI. If I was looking for something to do Netflix streaming, I would probably just purchase a ~$100 Blu-Ray player with Netflix capabilities.

    Best Pizza in the State

    Is that place still open? I haven't been there in probably a decade, but loved their stuffed pizza (even though I very much prefer thin-crust).

    Best Pizza in the State

    Rastrelli's in Clinton. It's also pretty much the only reason to go to Clinton.
