Channelling my inner ricer bling fetish

[gijoe1313]

Oookkkay...

I was wondering if this should go into the Electrical Maintenance thread...but seeing how frivolous and possible degeneration into a mud-slinging/racist/xenophobic/cat-calling/knock-'em-down-drag-'em-out sort of thing (the usual KB thing) ... I decided to knock it up in the general ravings (and lordy lordy, I shure am one fer raving! :innocent:)

I dunno where I get it from - Xerxesdaphat hit it on the head when he referred to my "inner ricer", I had intimated in a closed series of PM's (ooer! :o) that I had the intention of :

(a) Making a new fibreglass tyre hugger for my little ol'Hornet (more on this later)
(b) Doing an asian thang (I hear McJim rearing his hillbilly Scottish head and going "oots mon! It ain't a chink/spic/dago/spade/etc thang, it's just a perceived notional value derived as a class stereotyping, which blankets one ethnicity incorrectly....och ay'th'noo!" and installing an underlighting system...

Why?

'Cause I can! :woohoo:

So, heres how it all came together. I researched making LEDs myself ... but naff...too much hard work and getting the waterproofing considerations into perspective ... fug it... searched on Retardme...nada...Went to the holy of holies ... Fleabay!

Found some likely canidates, emailed off some queries and only ONE would ship to our little dungheap surrounded by a sea of pee and poos! Did the Pallypayee thang and waited for package...and waited...and waited...whole generations of cockroaches bred, died, waged war and loved.

Finally got a packaged tossed at me by dad "Wasting your money again on your bloody bike!!" :angry2: Meyahahahah!!!! It's all mine, mine, mine! Suffice to say, I got off my arse today and did the deed ...

Wires everywhere...ignored the instructions...crimped, cut, stripped, threaded, isoprol alcamahol swabs, cable ties, twisting, swearing...and sucess!

Finding a place for the switch was a bit of a bugger...so I fashioned a holder out of a PVC pipe I nicked from a telephony site that was down the way, shoved it in, bolloxed it into a spare gubbins hole on my ride...and the deed was done! :niceone:

Enuff farf'n blather... some piccies!

[gijoe1313]

Anyhoos, had fun trying to wire up the mess of spaghetti all over the place - I had a little headscratcher when I had to work out how the light switch worked (I got it right first time!)

Mr Dick, the electronic dick supplied the chocolate block to make connecting life easier, a crimping tool and some cable holders with tape backing to make it all nice and professional like.

I spent some time placing LEDs and checking with a nine-volt battery (those blocky ones where you lick the top to get a buzz off :yes:) Cleaning the mounting points was a bugger of a job ... flakey bits of paint, road shite and my own msg, encrusted McGreasy fingers from a life of toiling in the olds fush'n'chup chop.

I wrapped all the wiring in electrical tape and made sure there wasn't going to be any crossed connections or other whatnots ... I hope! :innocent:

Enuff rambling...more visual pr0n...why red LEDs? Cause reds me fave colour, it goes faster (everyone knows red ones go fasta!) and ... I just like red! :yes:

As a juxtaposed paradox, I have a blue Ford Telstar Orion! Go figger ... and yes, I will be blinging that out with underlights ... blue ones natch :o

[gijoe1313]

Now, I really need someone to give me the learn on taking night piccies better (Zapf?) Met a mate in town and parked up (no prizes for guessing where!) Tried to take some piccies. I then pootled around mission bay with the lights blinging on (and switching them off toot sweet if I thought the popo was around!) I was :lol: in my helmet when I saw cagers slow down ... they must've thought they were seeing things ... moving red stuff!

I did the slow route back via St Heliers, GI, Panmure, Pakuranga ... stopped off at the McBinn's .. er McJim's and did a stealth photo shoot outside their place :dodge: "I'll disown you as a biker if you do that underlighting crap!" ringing in my ears from an earlier "discussion" (you don't so much discuss things with McJim, as he bashes you round the lughole with his Scots wit and deadpan, black humor :shutup: )

The ride back along Chapel road in the night must have looked awesome to viewers... I got the double takes from cyclists and pedestrians when I wizzed by, I even got to use the Stebel horn once on a jaywalker...he jumped out of his shoes :devil2:

Righto, time for me to shut up and get more visual imagery stuff out...

[justsomeguy]

My dear Sir,

I must commend you on the effort you've put in, the lengths to which you've ventured to personalise your vehicle and your ability to colour co-ordinate.

Job well done!!

However in keeping with the spirit of this 'ere lovely phorum:

In reply to your jest sirrah,

I find the aformentioned racial slurs in the best possible taste, and in tradition with KB! Keep up the good work and hopefully those brown-sahib-sacred-cow-my-arse-faking-fakirs-swindling-dairy-owner-nose-picking-curry-munching-sell-your-kidney-for-a-dollar-a-day Indians will be making underlighting kits cheaper then those Chinese slant-eyed-sharkfin-eating-baby-girl-killing-organ-harvesting-charging-the-family-for-an-execution-bullet-rice-guzzlers!

Thank you for your interest and may a thousand hairy land crabs infest your leather racing crotch!

Goddamn that looks good! A little boy-racerish for most respectable bikers... but hey, you ride a Honda, so you must be the Nicest Person, right? :D. Cor blimey that must stick out like dog's balls at night... no excuses for rear-ending this Hornet at the lights now is there!

Hahah I would jump out of my shoes too if I got Stebelled by a fast-moving glowing red sewing machine! Poor bastard.

Can't wait to see it in real life!

[gijoe1313]

Dear xerxesdaphat, notwithstanding your improper nonclemature (to wit: lack of Capital)

I thank you for your investiture of chronological segments in replying to my prose heavy and incoherent ravings. Yes, indeed, a Red Honda Sewing Machine was a device made by Mr.Honda, in fact, it was the primus genitor for his nocturnal delvings in sustaining life and soul, whilst finding a solution to his countries distressing lack of mechanical personal perambulatory devices to correct time-spatial co-ordinates of one's choosing.

Your appreciation of my attempts to coincide with those loutish owners of four wheels of mayhem is an unfortunate allusion, please refrain from making such denigrating dissertations into modes of transportation, which has no bearing on our status (to wit : two wheels of freedom)

Thank you for your correspondence, no further details will be entered into. Please kindly direct all further missives to muck-raking, trash-talking and other such rambunctious shennanigans more conducive to KB.

Sic(ugh)

PS - Now how is it you have such personal affinity for the lower exposed genitals of a canine companion? Is there something Freudian about your selection of such a metaphor? Please elucidate, elaborate, evince and equivocate a forthcoming reply that shall satisfy my curiosity!

[Deviant Esq]

Green bling to you for your styley red bling. And all installed by yourself too, good effort! :first:
Okay, so the photos aren't the best, but they're not the worst by any stretch! If you're using an automatic digital camera, put it on night mode (pretty much need a tripod) if you want no flash but purdy lights, or night portrait if you want the flash and purdy background lights. If it's a manual digital camera, just change the shutter speed to 1 sec or thereabouts, flash optional, and you'll pretty much need a tripod for that too. Unless you're ultra steady! Good luck! But from what you've shown, not too much improvement is needed anyway. Well done that (inner ricer) man. :rockon:

[gijoe1313]

Dear Deviant Esq,

Well met and your comments appreciated - I will endeavour to read my digital camera manual (to wit : RTFM!) and come to grips with its extensive capabilities. I will be practicing more camera work, since it seems to be an inner ricer channelling thing (to wit : Zapf)

It so happens I do have a tripod, which I purchased from a sojourn to my mother(f**king) country! Purchased at a nominal price, which means it could only have been made with slave/prison labour.

I will be repeating this excercise in taking night photos since my motor vehicle (to wit : two wheels of freedom) is now so adroitly equipped for nocturnal activities of a different nature.

Most informative and excellent your contribution has been. Very unlike KB. You are a gentleman and scholar of the highest order. If this insults you, then I will back-hand the compliment and say thank you for your lumpen proletariat utilitarian skill base, which you hoi-polloi seem to be so quick on the uptake of!

Yours in reclusiam

You're welcome o' articulate one.

I look forward to seeing your steed in person where I may bestow on it all the blessings from under the skies we live in and skirts we peek under - with good will and good fortune using the powers I have been given by real fakirs - who worshipped the cows (who ran away with half their money) they held sacred - - - and wealth from the tills of a million dairies earned honestly without selling any kidneys or expired packets of curry for two dollars fifty-- so that with these blessings one day you may find more accessories.

Thank you for thanking me for my interest and may a zillion hairless vampire bats eat away at whatever part of you needs eating away at, to make you comfortable with your choice of motorcycle manufacturers.

Thank you, come again :yes:

[Fat Tony]

:lol: LOL at this thread :lol:

Right I'm crap with words so won't even bother tyring to enter in to the spirit of things. Just one quick question, are LEDs used in this way legal on the road in NZ? Here in the UK, you'd get stopped every few miles, served a rectification notice, and fined for having red lights visible anywhere other than your stop light

[gijoe1313]

Dear representative of the mafioso variety,

Yes, to ride with "running lights" is an illegal dalliance into the vernacular of the law of the land. I was espying my entrance with said contrivances to test said devices.

It is an offence which is enforced with the passing of liquid assets and a stern talking to. I am well aware of this, but felt the need to let my "inner riceness" come to the fore. Your awareness of legal issues is in contravenance of one of your persuasion I take it? When vehicle is stationary and not in a movement of velocity which impels it pass the stationary status quo is when the ambulatory predations of our enforcement model will bear upon the hapless citizen minding his own two wheels (to wit : all moving motor vehicles, but I digress) ... this conundrum apparantly excludes marine vessels, which apparantly need the use of pre-approved lighting configurations to ensure that a run-about does not come into conflict with a large supermarine vessel (to wit : Supertanker)

Thank you for you directness in the conservation of words, your perspacity in other threads has often left me in that convention of ROFLMAO. I shall not deign to explain such an acronym as it shall leave me bereft of dignity (to wit : I lost that long ago in another space-time continuum), for further egress I will now stop supplicating my response with further addendums.

[Fat Tony]

(runs off to www.dictionary.com)

*EDIT - Aha, as I thought: "No results found for perspacity. Did you mean perspicacity?"

(OK, so I had no idea if it was/wasn't a word and no idea what it meant if it was)

[Deviant Esq]

Impressive articulation gijoe1313. It belies the apparantly somewhat unjustified assumtion one could make with reference to such an uncompromsing forum identity (G I Joe), which would appear to speak of one of somewhat diminished cranial quality. But contrare! For it is alive and well in this particular sapient being. Consider yourself saluted!

Most triumphant and sincere felicitations! My circumstances at that time of nocturnal discussion led to a somewhat diminished intellectual advant garde approach to my spelling. Thank you for your input into my abuse of the Queen's language and I shall refrain from correcting said post to enshrine your valiant and commendable approach as an independent life-long learner!

You have given me great heart and fond cheer that the dialogus of the internet as a transmission agent is not a barrier to proper inducements of a learned and informative nature! Definitely not what KB is at times, though it has that colony charm and "kiwi" banter that passes for it's soiree into "witty" repartee.

Here endeth my learning from such an esteemed member of the mafioso variety (to wit : who knew that the criminal word had such intellectual giants among them, I am humbled)

Your distressed but unabashed servant (ugh)

[gijoe1313]

are RED lights at the front of a bike a great idea?

Au contraire, the idea of RED LEDs whilst the perambulation of my two wheels of freedom is an illegal flouting of the law of the land! The purpose of my (in the vernacular of this sort of modification to one's mode of transportation) "blinging" it out was to have some inordinate amount of fun (at a small sacrifice of monetary units and unredeemed recreational time).

It is meant only to be used while in a zero-sum game of static inviolability, i.e. parked up and being oohed-ahhed by yours truly (to wit : this author has still not grown out of being amused by flashing lights and shiny accroutrements)

Nothing else remains, but while viewed from the front, the positioning of the lighting unit does not violate the standards set out - what is in no doubt is the choice of colour. Next time I will investigate the possibility of a multi-switch chamber that purports to hold several distinct hues of a chromatic variety, which shall render my arrangements legal, in this land (I however, am a firm adherent to my fondest colour RED!)

Thank you for your concern over the possibilities of the travesty of having a forward moving red light causing consternation and diabolical mutterings from my fellow road users (to wit : they still have not the wit to ride two wheels of freedom). I shall endeavour to only use my personal homilies to my pride and joy (to wit : "the little ol'Hornet") as carefully and responsibly possible.

If you do believe that, I do have a great bridge that spans the divide of the North and South hemispheres of our metropolis of Auckland.

Thank you for your input and sincere kneading of my forelock

[gijoe1313]

Great thread and great work there.

Well done.

Succinct and to the point my fellow Hornet enthusiast! It is my privilege and honour to be providing such sport for one of your ilk to digest, muse upon and ultimately discarded.

As you well know, Hornet riders are the nicest people (as xerxesdaphat so eloquently stated), and forever putting in obsessive amounts of care and fondness for their stated weapon of speed. The inspiration that our "nest" is a continual buzz of mad ideas, crazy activities and above all, passionate championing of our cause brings a fond tear to my orbital socket (to wit : the left one, but the other one now since I have banged my big toe against a sharp outcrop concurrent in shape to the leg of the computer desk).

Thank you for your compliments. I fear my head is now too big, has bounced several times in a haphazard manner off the floor and cannot now, fit through the doorway (to wit : a sharp penetrating object akin to a pin, will suffice to let down one's ego and remember that there are starving kinder in parts of deepest darkest Africa, that are wanting for sustenance that my purchases would have enabled them to have).

Yours Truly (pardonnez moi, Trudi is your better half)

Excellent posting of reference site known colloquially as "that interweb thingy", I have subsumed my reply into the amorphous mass that is referred to in that worthy stalwart of the crux of new planetoidal spacial movements in a rotational manner, dawnrazor.

The delights and merits of the colour red I can wax lyrical and indepth for an exceedingly boring and trivial time, I will refrain from doing so here and instead point in the vague direction of how lovely certain colours can enhance the fairer of our sexes physical features (to wit : makeup). The application of LEDs is instead, our chromosomed challenged gender to make up for this imbalance of facial attention to detail.

I am all in favour of this, makeup on my "little ol'Hornet" would expose myself to ridicule and the distressing knowledge it will ruin the mascara when it rains. A no-win situation except for the cosmetic industry, which will suddenly realise that another market has opened up where they can peddle their animal-friendly makeup with accordingly usurious charging.

Yes, I was thinking with all the de riguer modifications requiring extra electrical assets, that a secondary emergency power supply would not be amiss. I am currently investigating the possiblity of a magneto-tesla static induction baffle mounted microwave storage device (to wit : a made up whatchamacallit). I shall put that exact wording into my mobile battery operated telecommunication telephony device (to wit : mobile). May I please request your operating communication details so I can contact you when said occasion arises in deplorable circumstances. All details kept quite confidential until I am in need of liquidity (to wit : coin) and will then sell it to the effervescent tele-marketing companies based in certain states of India (to wit : contact justsomeguy for further embellishments on this excitingly lucrative offer).

Thank you for your most insightful precognitive view into a possible future outcome for my "little ol'Hornet" and me.

Your future contact in regards to a set of jumper leads

[MSTRS]

blah times umpteen posts

You obviously need to be back at the chalk face as you are suffering withdrawal
symptoms..to whit... your verbosity has had no outlet for some weeks now and is tripping the weight on the pressure cooker. AKA... verbal diarrhoea (hXc has a jar for that).
Bling schling...:sick:
Well done on the process tho'

[gijoe1313]

Dear denizen of the other affairs of the heart,

Yes, it is at this time I find myself inwardly reflecting about the year to come...in those hallowed halls of (mis)learning. The subjugation and propaganda espousal of societal norms and expectations upon our kinder (as in kindergarten) is a rort to ensure that daycare is provided for harassed parents.

It is good that I am a sado-masochist with delusions of grandeur and unfeasibly unrealistic expectations of my charges. I believe they will become a connected life long independent learner with connections as a utopian global netizen. The dubious and unrequited yearnings to breach the vast stillness that counts as grey matter between the ears is a clarion call to my underwhelmed motivation. Truth beknown, I do have a certain grudging affection to those meat sacks quivering on seats in my alloted learning space.

I can see the vast potential...which they will never achieve
I can visualise the majestic service to humanity...when they are reclusing in jail
I can tantilising imagine the joy they will bring to society...when they play off a cliff
In all, the referendum I bring to my woe-begotten choice of profession fair fills me with an uplifting need to go and bang my cranium allotment against a suitably and indomitable immovable object.

Or I go ride a bike, enough said!

Thank you mistress of the heart, it always heartens my spirit to have it lifted when reminded of my duties I have signed on for as a government employee reimbursed by my fellow citizen's taxes.

Your recidivist at heart, gerrymandering at broken windmills

PS - "You have given out too much reputation in the last 24 hours for rewarding those who wade through your codswallop and schadenfreudian blatherskiting"

[R6_kid]

i had it done on my old ZXR, then kept the lights and bought some more to go on the R6. They get a lot of attention, only ever got good comments when i was in town or at parties, was cool seeing the side of the road light up when i cornered, or to see them laying down a blue wash when you lifted the front wheel

[gijoe1313]

Dear Alphabet-numeric kinder,

Yes, I find the illuminating trance effect quite relaxing - less still if I happen to make my front wheel lose continual traction with the ground! It is good to hear of others that have dallied with adding cosmetic but asthetically pleasing equipment to their choice of transport. My hat sir, is off to you! I am now in the progress of sourcing Panzerfaust/Nerbelwerfer additions to my ride in order to give other challenged road users a bit of the "learn" as the parlance goes.

For the times when a Stebel does not quite cut the mustard, for those netizens desirious of further enlightenment of my use of German terminology, please direct your occular retention to these two pertinent sites :

How and where did you fit them to your nesting beauty?
I might get some for the Spada but don't know where to mount them. Of course, mounting points would be different, but it could give me a fair idea of where to fit them to my steed of animal-likeness (read: beast).

Of course, my LED's would have to be blue, as my bike is blue, and it just fits...although I have no problem with your colour choices.

Thank you for your insight as to how the oriental (read: brainy ricer guy) mind works.

Thank you for your insight as to how the oriental (read: brainy ricer guy) mind works.

Dear Chemical formulae expression,

Upon recieving said LED devices from the the ubiquitous postal delievery service, one must delve beneath your wondrous mechanical steed and allocate where you target it for prospective mounting locations.

It is usually reccommended to engage the eye where it will be drawn on a balmy, crisp, evening when the birds gather for their dutiful days rest from their daily struggle.

(1) Locate a pair for each side of your fuel tank - making sure you do not use a naked flame to provide a lighting source to locate them; firey explosions followed by high-pitched screaming and a flailing fireball is usually detrimental to one's long term life extension.

(2) Allocate one for the front to mount beneath your radiator, ensure that it is placed in front of it and not on the fan since a rapidly rotating LED, while humourous for a short while, will result in it running out of wire, wrapping itself around the shank and causing endless mirth and mayhem as people around the globe read about your demise on Darwin's Awards.

(3) Allocate a pair for underneath your velocity impelled contraption. Make sure these are not located on surfaces, which attends to a high temperature. The burning smell of glutinous adhesive material, while making one high as a wind-blown, recreational device (to wit : a kite) is not a worthwhile endeavour.

(4) Place one mounting beneath the seat where it shall illuminate your suspension set-up. This is knowing as showing off your underbits, and while it is a titillating thrill when a member of the opposite sex flips her skirt to reveal her lacy undergarments, the purpose it serves here is to use up one of the mounting LEDs.

(5) Place one mounting beneath your tail piece, this serves to highlight how little tread you have left on your oil moulded, stressed and fraying rear tyre. This is due to the superfluous finances you have wasted on frivolous tomfoolery for your superlative two wheeled performance machine.

(6) In contrary to (2) I have mounted one on the rearside of my radiator (that would be the side that faces you, if you had an unfortunate terminal velocity incident where you could actually see the rearside of the radiator). This enables more of the elegant design by those of Mr.Honda's employees to elicit gasps of oohs-aahs or a shake of the head by those considered "serious bikers without a whit of humor or appreciation of the aesthetics of such proprietary installations".

In all of this, paramount consideration must be given to the placement and traverse of the wiring looms that you will end up with...10 LEDs = 20, add in the power wire (if needed) and you are ending up with a most perplexing conumdrum and congregation of electrical excess.

One must take their time, engage the practical side of one's grey matter and utter profound and insightful comments like "Bugger/Oh F**k it/Sh*t/That hurt like buggery/And Other Such Purposeful Utterances". Having the right instruments for the job is a must, keep distractions like frilly underwear to a minimum and eventually, you will earn the enmity of "serious bikers without a whit of humor or appreciation of the aesthetics of such proprietary installations".

I hope you have found this to be of some use in your quest for the desire to part from your finances for no apparant purpose. If you are desirious of further help, I shall explain further in a step-by-step photographic detail on how to do this to your heart's content. If this is so, I am afraid I will be installing another 10 LEDs onto my chosen panoply of manuever. Pink LEDs anyone?

Your partner in discerning crime and the bane of "serious bikers without a whit of humor or appreciation of the aesthetics of such proprietary installations""

Top effort -the bike that is, however I'm not so sure about the verbage that spews out of your keyboard. I think you may be on to something with them light thingy's, its a good look.

Black lights for my black bike??

Good work Gijoe1313!!!!!

If this is the future of biking I may have to sell up, buy an Aston Martin & hang around with Bearded weirdos in Roman sandals, Brown button up leather jackets & polo-neck jerseys knowing that I am still ahead in the style stakes.

NoNoNoNO!:sick:

That is soo sad.

Dear Computer Function Key,

Au contraire, I am of an extreme arm of humanity known by the nonclemature as "Nerd/Dork/Geek/And Other Such Utterances" I shall not bandy about the bush and elaborate on my other "soo sad" hobbies (I take it you are a fellow asian who uses the "soo" as in "su")

I am a wargamer. I collect and paint all sorts of miniature apparel for the purpose of rolling buckets of random probability generators (to wit : dice) in order to roll dismally on the floor as everything has either, missed, failed to wound or resulted in my own battleforce self-destructing in spectacular style.

I collect and read comics and manga. I have even drawn them for magazines overseas. I chuckle at "What's Michael", I grieve in "The Killing Joke", I applaud in "Ronin", I gasp at Masamune Shirow's Visions of "Appleseed", "Black Magic M-66", etc.al

I wear costumes. I design and go over the top in my homage to Star Wars. Notably Boba Fett. I am now designing a "Death Korps of Krieg" Imperial Guard Ensemble to menace my gaming fratenity with when I roll bucket loads of random probability generators to self-immolate my own battleforce.

I snort when I laugh, I wear dress socks with roman sandals, I actively look for pocket protectors.

I jump out of planes, I jump off bridges, I jump off canyons...people who asked me to go jump in the lake...been there done that!

I allocate icons to all my computer folders that are LEGO themed, SW themed, and any other thing that takes my fancy.

I participate in vigorous and robust discussions of all things SW with like-minded afficinadoes and any other such "soo sad" categories. The scarier thing you have to ask is...what else do I get up to out of sight of all others!

I channel my internal ricer and study martial arts, install frivolous electrical gadgets and other notably "lame" and "ridiculous" undertakings. There will be others who are just like me, not like, will the real gijoe1313 please stand up? Please stand up!

This is not a dig at you personally, just a clear statement that I am only being me. I like you for your refreshing honesty and can appreciate that only a mental defect that is certifiable would do what I like to do.

Your entirely in agreement and used to the vagaries of people calling those other segments of the population "soo sad"

Ignore the pontification that exudes from the excesses of my ASCII imparter device. Infernal logic works behind shuttered mind.

In homage to your homily for hirsute statements, I will say :

Black Lights will evince a nice effect on surrounding items when they inevitably glow with that "night club" effect. An interesting theorem, which I will implement in my own Telstar Orion complete with disco ball and laser system (I often transport my fellow imbibers of alcamahol to establishments and they have been in rapture of my underlighting in the passenger cabin).

Your steadfast adherer to simple statements

WOW ... and you own a Telstar Orion!

Nice job but RED??? good colour but isnt there some law against forward facing red lights??? The other issues is now you have to keep the bike very clean as the leds show all grime and crap alot more. I had a similar/simpler version on the GSX in blue and gave it a nice glow.

Ummm...

He doesnt bother to clean it.

When it gets too dirty he just takes it off the Twilight Road and through the scrub, in an attempt to wipe the grime off.

Sir, whilst your pontifications and verbiations are read with some trepidation, I do concur that you have made an attempt at ensuring the 'biker' fraternity do you veiw and you machine with the utter and total disdain that it deserves. I say trepidation in that previous utterances and prose have lead to nonsensical ramblings that have included chicken wings, hornets and triads. To have hoped that you would not 'wander' in such a manner was, of course, far too much to have even considered.

The ramifications of the alterations that you have heinously thrust upon your poor machine, be it only a lowly Hoonda, will ensure that the laughter, that you have heard thus far only in your feverish dreams, is now heard echoing along the byways that you have been known to frequent, namely the poorer areas of the southern Auckland suburbs where those known to you as bretheren subsist... barely.

Just got a supply of 12V remote control switches in the mail today! Whee! Guess where I'm installing one of them? Hyuk yuk!

And sticks and stones may break my bones (and riding off banks)
But my inner ricer comes to the 'fore
From critics and naysayers, I expect no thanks!
Now what else can I find and install,
from the inner ricer's store? :p :laugh:
