  1. Reminds me very much of the new Rocky Mountain with their Smoothlink linkage. Very similar. Much stealth.
  2. That's cool, though. Comedy is highly subjective, after all. I find Jimmy Carr to be hilarious. Others may think he's just crass.
  3. he comments on it, sure. And his family life was probably wrecked by it as well. Swiss (I think) dad and black South African mother, in a time when that sort of relationship was illegal. But he doesn't make a meal of it, IMO, and never portrays himself as a victim.
  4. why the speedcross? Not suited for our conditions at all, unless you're going to be running in mud. Though KZN summer rains...
  5. Means it qualifies as "healthy gear" You'll probably find that there is a problem with the systems actually syncing or that the barcode was incorrect or something. But it definitely qualifies for the 10/15/25% off
  6. it looks frikkin amazing. And I can't wait...
  7. yep. Dear Duct Tape Users: Is it Duct or Duck? We don’t want you to be confused, so we will explain. The first name for Duct Tape was DUCK. During World War II the U.S. Military needed a waterproof tape to keep the moisture out of ammunition cases. So, they enlisted the Johnson and Johnson Permacel Division to manufacture the tape. Because it was waterproof, everyone referred to it as “duck” tape (like water off a duck’s back). Military personnel discovered that the tape was good for lots more than keeping out water. They used it for Jeep repair, fixing stuff on their guns, strapping equipment to their clothing... the list is endless. After the War, the housing industry was booming and someone discovered that the tape was great for joining the heating and air conditioning duct work. So, the color was changed from army green to the silvery color we are familiar with today and people started to refer to it as “duct tape*.” Therefore, either name is appropriate. Today, Duck® brand Tape is manufactured by ShurTech. After thoroughly familiarizing ourselves with the hundreds of duct tapes on the market, we have found Duck® brand Tape to be the most consistent in quality. And, we are delighted with the large array of colors that they manufacture (including camo tape and new “X-Treme Tape” which comes in hot day-glo colors). Jim and I do lots of appearances promoting Duck® brand Tape and do so without reservation. Therefore, we go by both The Duct Tape Guys, and The Duck Tape Guys. And, we use the words Duck and Duct interchangeably throughout our web site. So, whether you call it Duct Tape or Duck Tape... you are still using the “Ultimate Power Tool” in our estimation.
  8. His use of grunts in his lines is fantastic, though. Really good character, that.
  9. It's both. Duck Tape originally, because the marines used it to waterproof certain items and it repelled water like water "off a duck's back" - the name Duck Tape was borne. Later, it was used to seal duct-work. Hence, duct tape. Both equally applicable. Technically, Duct Tape is the silver variety. Check before you correct
  10. For you to say that, it must have been hectic. Well done, though.
  11. yeah. It gets reaaaally gritty. And I like that knife of his very much.
  12. It's got Emma Stone in it. I'm already been.
  13. Better not tell anythingbut.... Mine took me to Glencairn and back for her maiden ride. 2h15 or so, 51km & ±1,600 kcal (minus the pain au chocolat at the halfway point) Rides like a dream. Honestly felt good to be on the road again. Just need to get used to clipping in after a stop.
