    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Aside from herps, I spend a bit of my spare time online, bouncing back & forth between reptile, gun, law enforcement, and computer forums.

Sometime in the near future, camping and hiking are going to make it back onto my list of frequent activities.
 
Road Cycling - Lance is my hero
Nature Photography - photographing nature since 1980
Birdwatching - since I was five
Teaching Birdwatching - in the last twelve years
 
I spend a lot of time with my dogs. I read, a LOT. I will read damned near anything. Thousand page novels, short trashy romance books, magazines (Reptiles and Game Informer), and a lot of internet forums (reptiles, feeders, fish, dogs, chinchillas...)

I love camping (see new pictures on TRR)! I could camp all year! It's great to get the heck away and be outdoors. The dogs absolutely love it as well.

Funny life seems full for me but I can't think of much else I do. I think the dogs and the snakes really take up most of my time. I am lucky to enjoy what I do :)
 
I've started playing poker recently, with my ex... actually I'm looking to start a regular game of my own.

Free time is usually spent napping or doing homework or cleaning, but fun time is watching movies, metalsmithing, playing poker or pool, swimming in the short summer, that kind of thing.

Well now my kind of game. :D

We have a game every Sunday up at the farm and it is quite fun. No money changes hands, but it is sure great getting the need to play out. ;)
 
poker

what do you guys play? 5 card? texas hold em - which I actually like best despite the silly tv shows featuring it- ? omaha?

And I'm gonna walk into the trap since you laid it so nicely... if you don't play for money, you play for clothes? or chips? hehe. I kinda like higher stakes like clothes because then I NEVER lose. I'll lose 1 major item of clothing, maybe, if my cards are crap.

So hey, move on up to MI because I can't afford to transfer colleges anymore, and I'm game for sunday poker games.

Hold em is the game and chips are the way we see who is ahead. And this is all guys so not clothing shall be taken off ever. But the good thing is most are cops and favors like fixing tickets can be negotiated. ;)

Now if you are ever at a show I am and feel lucky we can play a game or two for the higest of stakes. :D ;)
 
lol this could be bad....

ummm brian, you swore off women? *looks down and feels to double check* yeah I'm a woman. aaaannnndddd, you're a womanizer, I'm a man eater... it could get very bad.

But, I'd love to play poker with ya sometime, ever go to the tinley park show?

Man eater my ass....... :rofl:

And yes I swore them off seven days ago and I am about to fall the hell off that wagon. Seven days is way too damn long to go without. ;)

And no I am not going to Chicago untill the statute of limitations runs out. :dgrin:

And two bad's might just make a very good. :spinner03
 
I doubt she can. ;)

7 days and counting.... Oh the poor women who does cause me to fall, I really do feel for her. :poke2:
 
LOL lucille, I am a relentless tease, but I'm not about to fly down to the south *shudder* or pick up some strange man from the detroit metro just so brian can get laid, LOL. That is the great thing about living in a town with two major colleges, I will find what I want if I want to.

Brian, trust me hon, I can turn on the ice princess just as quickly as some of the other sides of my personality. And what's this about a statute of limitations???? LOL I'm so worth it! Who doesn't want to meet a girl that can drink you under the table and doesn't mind poker night as long as I get to join in? Especially considering I don't venture south of chicago unless I go into mountain or pacific time. Wait, let me guess tho, you don't go north of the mason dixon line!!!! Isn't that how it always goes?

Maybe we'll haveta meet in arizona to play poker?

(P.S. All of the above is said in half jest :) )

Oh how we can talk amean game but chances are you like hundreds of others will not be able to keep up. Drink me under the table?? You haven't read about me I take it. I am a professional drinker, and Brian can drink a lot. ;) As for being a tease, isn't that the start of a game to see who can torture the other the most? And this Southern man is very well traveled. Europe is well past the Mason-Dixon line, as is South and Central America, and certain islands in the Met and Pacific. And who here can say they have even been to Russia? So I do get out of the South a good bit.

Also this exile form women is by choice. Around here women are like buses, one comes around every 15 minutes. The trick is finding the sane ones to ride. ;)
 
LOL and you say I'm talking game... finding the sane ones to ride..... jeez. I'm not gonna tell you what I'm good at or bad at in that dept, no use, I pick and choose who I want to know that kind of stuff about me, preferably thru firsthand knowledge. And as for drinking, well you're not going to take my word on anything I say except that tequila brings out my gag reflex, so I'm not going to try and convince you any other way than by proving it to ya LOL.

And as for travelling, good for you for getting out and seeing the world!!! (ppssst, italy is best when you're single, trust me) But I was talking about the north, you know, where we talk and drive fast and do silly things like ennounciate and let people merge.

But I may as well get some more shameless self promotion in while I'm at it. I like baseball!!!!!!!!!! I know how to use a settling torch and my host mother in italy was a professional chef. Heck, I love reptiles, and large breed dogs. There has to be some available 20 something male in SE michigan that is ok with all of that, and is willing to put the toilet seat down every once in a while. LOL I'm kidding, just needed to vent a little. Time for genetics.

Aside from the obvious, I race MX quads...... I have a bad ass 400ex that has been modified..... It was bored out to a 440cc then stroked over to a 505cc..... Head has been ported and polished, rockers have been hard faced and valve spring are upgraded..... I have a set of Ohlin shocks all the way around and they are fully adjustable..... Also just installed a 41mm carb...... I can pull the front end up in 4th gear with no problem.... Here are a couple of pics...

No Iceland is best for the single American male. Where else are women ENCOURAGED to have MULTIPLE sexual partners?? Plus Russian you can promise to bring them back to the states and they will damn near do anything you can imagine. ;) And after you are done you just go back home ALONE. :D I liked the islands off Italy best. Such as Acolian, tremiti, Malta, And Sicily. I stayed in a great place on Sardinia called Porto Torees and woke up each morning looking at the Golfo dell' Asinara. Plus the people were very friendly and jsut cool to hang out with.

As for up North, Chicago, New York, Philly, Boston, and Indy I travel to as need be with work. And people drive slower up there than down here, but at least you can merge unlike down here. ;)

So no Tequlia huh?? Guess it will be the old stand by Jager follewed by Firewater. :D
 
Obviously you've never been to michigan then. Just the other day I was headed out of the greater detroit area going 75 (the speed limit is 70 and my transmission is starting to slip so I'm a kinder gentler driver) in the far right lane and the cars in the two lanes to the left of me aren't just passing me, they're flying past, the one in the far left lane must have been going around 90.

I did my homestay in a small city in Marche, on the adriatic. It was really very pretty, but I never got to go to capri, or sicily, which I really wanted to do. But what I was trying to say was that next time you go to italy, you shouldn't bring a nordic girl with you. And russian women don't really do it for me ya know? They lack the necessary equipment to start... and they're too washed out, crazy, and hairy.

And finally, where's the vodka? Mixed drinks? please?
 
There were a few there any good guy should've checked. Unfortunatley, I am unable to check of one of my 3 needs.
I got sports, there wasnt any eating there. Not hard to figure out which one I'm missing.
Oh well, I give myself another 10 years maximum, to be in my prime.
Then it's all down hill from there, unless I want everyone to think Im a pedophile, but hey.
18 is 18 LMAO.
