[TheForge] Jesse James and Uri Hofi

[Mark A. Pesetsky]

Bobby Flay is a punk as well but from a more affluent neighborhood!! Ha ha, yea, I know who he is..."ARE YOU READY FOR A THROW DOWN?" ha ha

I spoke to JJ's 1st wife (I think), back before he hit it big and was on TV. I called about a simple exhaust that is now common and made by just about all the aftermarket companies. Like seen below:

When I asked her what it would cost she said 2k!!! That was back in the early 90's!!! ha ha. I can see the price has dropped a little bit

Like I said ;-) Or do you not know what a dweeb Bobby Flay is?

(FWIW, Flay is purported to be a chef, and I think _I_, who am by no means a chef, could out cook him. Once Flay gets beyond a three-plop meal (starch, veggie, and protein) in an iron skillet for "creativity", with some hot peppers involved, he's utterly done.)

The talent both of them seem to have is convincing producers to spend money on them. I've seen far more talent shown by other motorcycle enthusiasts and cooks than I've ever seen in anything either of those two have done. Yeah, I went looking for some of James' bikes on line.
OK, but nothing I'd want to spend any serious money on.

So, you think your data is safe?

Heat it up
Hit it hard
Repent as necessary.

Priorities:

It's the smith who makes the tools, not the tools which make the smith.

.I never wanted to see anybody die, but there are a few obituary notices I have read with pleasure. -Clarence Darrow ______________________________________________________________
