WTF?

I just received this in my inbox: HI GARRETT, I SAW YOU ON CLASSMATES.COM. I DON'T THINK YOU REMEMBER ME BUT I WENT TO MIDDLE SCHOOL WITH YOU IN JUNIOR HIGH. I DON'T WANT TO TELL YOU MY NAME BECAUSE ITS EMBARASSING. DO YOU REMEMBER I ASKED YOU OUT ON A DATE? MY OTHER FRIEND LIKED YOU TOO. I'M STILL JUST AS PORTLY AS EVER BUT I WANTED TO KNOW IF YOU WANTED TO GET TO GETHER AND BAKE BROWNIES OR SHARE RECIPES OR SOMETHING. I AM NICE. SINCERELY,??Uhh...um...er...There is only one person who this could be. She was psychotic. So was her friend. They were also much larger than me. They stalked me at school and called my house daily. They also pinned me up against the wall in gym class and took turns kicking me in the nuts. It was very comical. Apparently, she's still a nutjob. Christ, I really don't need to be the object of her obsession again.

American Choppers

This has become one of my favorite shows. For those who haven't seen it, it's on Discovery Channel, various nights of the week (usually on Mondays and Saturdays). The show basically follows after a family-owned chop shop in New York state. I love the show for two reasons: first, while some of the bike designs are a little odd (like the fire truck themed bike), they do beautiful work, and secondly, watching the family arguments between the father and his two sons (mostly the older one) is absolutely hilarious. One of my favorite designs that I've seen is the Comanche bike which was styled after the Comanche helicopter. Damn, that was one bad mother of a machine.I never had an interest in getting into car mechanics when I was growing up. However, I did develop a desire while I had the chance to learn to ride bikes. Unfortunately, bikes were never an interest in my house and neither I or my parents had extra funds to spare. Nobody I knew was into bikes either. Maybe one day when I have spare cash and a place to keep and maintain a bike, I'll finally get around to it.
