Ok. Fine. If you really insist on using real names then my real name is Norris. Chuck Norris. And you don't need to know where I live because I will find you first . . .

Even better. when Chuck Norris Masterbates he's thinking of you . . .

I had quite a good movement this morning. A solid initial burst followed by a more relaxed passing that went on for a while. Most satisfiying. Need to cut down on the lager I think, drink more guiness for a while. Although with guiness it is a fine balance between getting it right and over doing it. And boy, do you know you've overdone the guiness the night before.

Although a good kepbab does firm things up somewhat, unless you go to the one by the rail station and then the whole world makes an apperance the next day. Usually quite rapidly and with added sound effects.

When Chuck Norris does sums the very fabric of reality changes to make the answer in his head a real one . . .

Quote from Goop :

I've yet to meet a 17 year old Thai Lady-boy with 'no skills'

I've seen some novel things happen with ping pong balls and a bucket. Ahhh. Those where the days . . The filth, the mud, the smoke filled bars, those hedonistic nights getting blasted on cheap homemade gutrot watching 17 year old Thai Lady Boys working their magic on stage . . .

Reminds me of 'Nam . . . . Chelten'am.

Chuck Norris is my dad. In fact Chuck Norris is everyones dad. He's your mum too.

I used to runbars and the like and alot of the time we would have to wear nametags. . . I never used my real name. I hated complete strangers calling me by my name it's like 'Do you know me? Then why are you using my name?'. I was using 'Charlie' for years. And anyway. What is to stop me using a real sounding name on these 'real name' required races and servers. I could use Tony Robinson and you wouldn't know any differenct. It's still not my real name and it won't make be behave any different from how I would normally.

I loved that line from up there somewhere . .

'Idiots still have real names' . . .great.

Oh. I'm in heaven . . . Toilet humour. The best there ever is.

Whats wrong with talking about it? It's just another bodily function. We all do it, except maybe the queen, I think she has someone to do it for her.

Although I'm really not up for this shelf thing, no no no no. I rely on the water impact to tell me how well I'm eating. You can get massive amount of information by the volume and extent of the 'splash'. Although if they could think of a system to limit splashback, that would be great. And I do enjoy a good shit. At least two chapters worth. A worthwhile movement is worth it's wieght in what you lost.

And as for this sittendownunpissingunthingy. No. That will never do. As a man I reserve the right to piss standing up. It's consitutional. A basic human right. How else can you get rid of the skidmarks that you left from your earlier evacuation.

Oh, I feel so at home now.

Now if only we could really get into the gutter and talk about sex I would be on cloud nine. . . . .

I know you ain't flaming mate. You have been an avid supporter from day dot. No worries.

And once I got some thinking done I shall continue when I get the chance . . .

My Name is Mr F. Bear. I have a body hair problem and frighten small children. My hobbies include platting my beard and scaring small children. I drink large quantities of methylated spirits and chew rats. I have a good sense of humour as I've heard women like that and I have been known to cry to some episodes of Lassie.

To be honest all of my Internet dealing involve Mr F. Bear in one way or another. It started with Funnylookingteddybear when I was a kid looking around my room searching for a name to use that soon got shortened to Funnybear as time whent on. But you'll still see FLTB around from time to time. Depends if the browsers let me use the full length or not.

I would feel a bit odd using my real name. Computer land isn't for that. Computer land is for escaping into, to be someone your not. Sure, in computer land I'm still the marverlously witty, intelligent, good natured honest kinda guy I am in real life. But In computer land I'm all those things and a Mr Funnybear too. You don't need to know my real name. This is not the droids you are looking for . . . .

Sorry, went of on a bit of a tangent . . . Even if sim'ing it's still a computer generated world, paid for by me and I shall be whomever I choose to be in the computer generated world. You could say that WoW was a simulation of the fantasy genre. (It is a simulation of something at least and I'mnot entirley sure that this arguement will hold water but we'll see, in for a penny in for a pound.) but you don't find them using their real names in that. But if I played Wow, which I don't, I would still be Funnybear.

So remember kids, I have never seen another Funnybear, so if you see one around then it's usually me. BF2 was Funnybear. LFS it's Funnybear. The only one I don't have set at Funnybear is Eve:Online. It would look a wee bit silly in that universe to cruise around calling yourself Funnybear.

And do be honest if I was forced to use my own name in something then I would have too say that I probable wouldn't go there . . .Just me.

Quote from TagForce :

Just a helpful tip for you, Funny...
Be careful with this story. What you wrote so far seems a little too familiar.
Read *this* (if you haven't already), and try not to copy it.
You're a real talent, and I'd hate for you to work hard on something that's already been done.

No it's not . . .I've never seen it and having read that it's gunna be nothing like it. You've read the first two introductions, I've written over 60,000 words to the book and trust me, it is all my own work from my own head.

But, at the end of the day what are your own ideas if not a mix, rehash and regurgitation of someone elses.

You've pissed me off now. Thats the thing about being open to the community, your not always going to like what you hear but I do think your slightly wide of the mark.

And another thing . . I can't try not to copy anything. If I'm writing then I take styles, experiances, constructs and syntax from many sources and inspiriations. But when your writing you don't stop to think whether you are copying something or not. That comes later when you realise that entire passage you have just lifted out of someone elses work. You havn't done it intentionally, it's just how the mind works. But once you've realised it you go back and have another look at it. Maybe you can change it, maybe you say hang it and leave it in the hope that nobody notices. But then what is one mans plagerism is another mans sign of respect . . .

Everything you see around you, everything you read, everything you hear has been done one way or another before. There are only so many letters in the alphabet, so many notes in an octave, so many ways to put bricks, glass, wood or celluloid together.

I have a story in my head. And it may transpire that I have indeed taken it from elseware ot an editor might look at it and go 'been done before' but thats the way of it. But it doesn't detract from my writing because untill I actually finish the damn thing it doesn't mean a thing . . .

Rant over.

Maybe.

What qualifies you for alien status? Do you have to be just shit hot fast in LFS or can you be from another planet too, because I deserve an honourific at least for the being the latter.

Quote from SamH :

I'm dying to know how you can own a Diane and think it's a 2CV! I'm well impressed! I have a Ford Escort, like in this picture!

I was about to correct you about your car identification, but then I reread your post and would have only have made myself look stupid. So I won't now.

I'll get my coat.

Let us know how your getting on dude . . . It would be nice to know what your changing and what is effecting what as you go . . .Keep talking bud. It's good to talk.

Prehaps as you are doing the shorter sprint circuits more downforce would help you . . . .

Good boy. Satisify yourselve with what you have not what you want. . . .

Ain't no modding going on either. Custom cars won't be around for a while . . .if at all . . .

So city is Rough. When I was making sets for So city I always started by softening the suspension and raising the ride height. I felt the car was riding the end stops and unsettling over the really rough stuff.

But then I wasn't a hotlappe so maybe I'm not the best person to answer your quiries . .

But wouldn't the wieght transfer be the wrong way for front bump? rebound maybe, prehaps that needs to be strengthened slightly to allow a more gradual wieght transfer. As I don't really drive the FWD cars in LFS I can't the scenario into my head. I can't see how the rear should step out (Dramatically as Blowtus puts it) at all with the wieght moving rewards and effectilvly giving the rear more grip, unless it was already on the limit of adhesion or there was a bump, overeaction from the suspension to blame for it. . . . If you are under power then that should surely induce understeer rather than oversteer . . . Hmmmmmm.

*Goes of to ponder some more.*

Lfs enables you to do that though. You have enough faith in the physics and the setup options that you can work through them in a logical fashion. There are obviously some flaws in the plan (the fabled Aero bug for one) that slip through, but on the whole is just shows you how good LFS is that people can talk through a particular problem, test it, theorise about it and (hopefully) solve it.

Way to go LFS . . . I'm in love all over again.

It could maybe be tyre flex as well.

If your going from hard braking to acceleration which is to say a low load on the rear tyres to a high load then the tyre is going from stretched to compressed. Espiacially as you are cornering as well so the tyre is deforming, which will be extrolated once your back on the power. That 'grip shift' might induce jump as the tyre tries to snap back into shape.

Although why that would only happen with one setup and not another I don't know and I'm probs not right anyway . . .

'Tis updated. Did you read the first bit?

Something new. Something I've been working on for a while so this is a good catalyst for my brain to start picking it up again. Will be slighty episodic for those who care . . .

Working title. Pluto No More . . . . *Grin* Enjoy.

same here. The lower the better, but too low and sensitivity is an issue.

It's not worth that!!!! Now come on. The man wants real offers . . .
