In summary, Astronuc is a volcano-hound, so he'll probably volunteer to oversee the ceremony. Mexico City should have pleasant weather this time of year...

Time to wing in a female virgin, or at least a PF sister that hasn't gotten lucky for a while. :rolleyes: Astronuc is a volcano-hound, so he'll probably volunteer to oversee the ceremony. Mexico City should have pleasant weather this time of year...

I think Astronuc is already there. You can barely make him out near the top.

Careful guys, there's one less competitor for funniest member now that we've promoted Astronuc (BTW, Astronuc, those chocolates were delicious! :approve:), so your chances are improving for being selected as volcano food. :biggrin:

Change the frame and forks and put on mag wheels? Do I get to keep the power train? If I wanted a Buell, I would have bought one. I prefer the comfortable feet-forward stance. (Hint - my boots don't get stuck.)

Sorry, I tried to find a semi-permanent image of the latest eruption, but all I could find was in a Yahoo news slide show, and they changed the images.

Maybe this link will last a bit longer.
