I think I have been banned from YaBB SE before. I think accidentally or by Joseph. I don't even know if I have ever been banned though. Back in my younger years I might have been banned from many forums.

awesome. the gun makes such a loud noise outside and sounds like a tin can dropping inside. You don't hear anything. Driving is like driving a motorcycle while sitting in a recliner.

Quote

Whats your favourite drink?

Alcohol? I think I covered the non-alcohol question already. Jack & Coke or Jagermeister for shots.(sp?)

Quote

Dodge Durango pickup?

Its a SUV.

I'd break that in a heart beat. I love to take things off road. Took my 1992 Buick Park Avenue off-road. Actually on the side of the road in a ditch. I also took my Nissan Altima off-road. No problems. Took my Mom's Ford Escape off-road a while back. Got it stuck in the fields of mud. When I bought my Durango I had it in 2-3 feet of mud within 6 hours. Got it stuck, had my friend's Dad come with his Jeep and pull me out. Then we continued on with 2 cars off roading

Update: I am no longer a former team member, obviously. I have 4 dogs. I think I have the same amount of cats, but I don't feel like counting them all. I smoke a lot more now. Funny thing is that I did more drinking when I was 17 than now and now I am of a legal age to drink. I play a lot more video games since I got a XBox. I got in to watching Rutgers Football. All about it now. Going to games is so much fun. Watching games on TV - not as much fun unless you are drunk.

What's your favorite game on xBox?

I play NCAA Football most of the time. I also play Call of Duty 3.

I don't really play CoD3 that much. Actually, very rarely. I beat it the other day and was kind of disappointed in the ending. My Durango is in the shop and will be for a while. I broke my front differential.
