Im not promising anything, but... I KNOW I have a couple sets of Q towers around, D'OH. I wouldn't really want much beyond the cost of shipping, I think I got em Ebay or swiped them or something. I do swiftwater rescue so I have been pretty busy of late. I think we are getting a break for a few days here, I let you know in the next coupla days. I pretty much come home eat and futz around on the internet before I kiss my wife and go to bed for the past few days. :blink:

Douglas Adams was one of the greatest writers ever! For those of you that haven't read the Hitchhiker's trilogy, they bound all five of the books into one volume. Pick it up!

Anyway, my name comes from two things- Inky, my best bud when I was little, he was a black cat. Died in 2000...RIP. The second- my favorite power adder.

Generally I'll change the second half of my name to fit the forum I am a member of(I am a member of many), but the Inky part always remains, in rememberance of that faithful cat(I know, that's an oxymoron, but it is true).

I chose the name yam yam. When I was little, I would go to my cousin's house and play with fireworks on Dec 31st. His neighbors were a weird bunch, and they had a last name that sounded like yamyam. My cousin and I didn't like their chihuahua, and used to launch bottle rockets horizontally into their yard in hopes of getting one into the dog house. Eventually we said "yam yam!" everytime we launched a warning shot.

the name (if any of you ride trials out there, which I doubt you do) comes from a quirky offspring of mountain biking called bike trials, where you hop around like a moron trying to get over stuff without putting your foot down. if you put both feet down in competition, you five the section (get five points (you dont want points (kind of like golf))) hence the name "DontFive". Hooray!

Well just so y'all know ......

I've had my name since high school, but there maybe ladies here so it will take a second to figure out how to explain the name.

See I had a catch phrase every time I saw a female who sparked my interest ...."I'd treat her like a lollypop" sooooooo one time we were all hangin' out and there was a female in the groupdown from Georgia who was a cousin of another....she made the mistake of claiming that sex was a waste of time and did absolutely nothing for her. I informed her that if she climbed up on the hood of that car I would make sure she never let that satement again. She proceeded to climb to call by bluff and I proceeded hold true to my word (hell I had no choice I wasn't going to look weak in front of my boys) ......In the middle of my demonstration one of my budies yelled out "Damn he does treat em like a lollypop"

It stuck and I've been Lollypop ever since

The details will have to be read between the lines for fear of offending someone.


What y'all ought to see is that I'm a 280 lb Redneck from South Mississippi named Lollypop.

I would say that Neu's comes from the German word for "new".

I had to ask a question about my 84 right before I bought it, and had a mental block, so I called myself what I might buy!!
