No excuse for running a red light in the US, where the yellow light typically lasts twice as long as the yellow in the UK and the rest of Europe.

Hey Creamo, how's that Atkins going?

Driving home last night, at a red light, after 30 seconds the idiot in front of me can't wait anylonger, waits for traffic to clear then runs the red light. 3 seconds after he clears the intersection the light turns green and I'm 20 feet behind him. As we approach the next intersection, red light, he just barrels through. I can still see him down the street and watch as he signals a right hand turn. I'm thinking, after running two red lights why bother with the signal?

33lbs and holding. I guess this is where I have to actually exercise.

Here’s what will make you live on it.

Cole Slaw

1 bag ready cut cole slaw
3/4 cup sour cream
3/4 cup mayo
2-2 1/2 TBS vineger
1 tsp celery seed
1 TBS minced onion
2-3 paks splenda

Mix together. It's best made in advance. It's wonderful.

And these I live by-

Mock Mashed Potatoes
Ingredients:
•   2 10oz pkgs frozen cauliflower (or fresh 3/4 head)
•   1 tsp chicken boullion granules
•   1/4 tsp white pepper
•   1 tsp minced onion flakes (optional)
•   2 Tbsp butter
•   2 Tbsp heavy cream
Preheat oven to 375°F. Cook cauliflower in microwave or on stovetop until it is VERY done - fall-apart fork tender. Drain well and mix cauliflower with all other ingredients except cream in food processor or with a powerful mixer (hand or stand). Mixing with mixer will give "lumpier" results than a food processor, but some people feel the lumps make it seem even more like mashed potatoes. Add cream slowly and mix again. (You must be careful adding liquid. If you add too much, you are in for trouble. Your dish may take a tiny bit more or less than the called for amount of cream.)

Spray an ovenproof dish with cooking spray and put mixture in. Add pats of extra butter or margarine on top if you like an extra buttery potato, and a bit of paprika sprinkled on top adds nice color as well. Bake 15 - 20 minutes until hot.

For those of you who think they would not like this dish because they are not fans of cauliflower, I implore you to try it - you'll be hard pressed to tell it from mashed potatoes - it does not taste like cauliflower at this point. Really.

Makes 4-6 Servings. 5-7 carbs per serving.

If you cant live on that, your a fat *** by choice.

Try em Beetard and thank me later.

You are a poet in a mad way, Mr Black (but I do think your heart is in the right place)

Hey Creamo, you work at bullys or are you just there on Tuesdays? Which bullys? there are what 6 of them now?

I know this has kinda turned into the driving pet peeves but here are some general ones

you are next in line at the supermarket with a ton of people behind you, a checker comes up and announces " I'll help the next in line" and all the tards who just got there in line behind you rush over to the check out. No you were not next, I WAS !!!

Any UPS drivers here? apparently god gave them the ability to park anywhere. I understand that parking the big truck is a pain, but I have seen them even taking a handicapped spot while making a delivery.
And what about the drive-by delivery now? I'm not even talking about during Christmas time. The last computer I mail ordered was left on my doorstep. He didn't even ring the doorbell or knock!! I was inside the whole time. I think I am going to order a new Alienware computer and when they leave it on my doorstep, claim i never got it. Do you have my signature? what do you mean you just left it on my doorstep? cha ching.

I have a pet peeve.

It lives in a box in the living room and I feed it lettuce.

Bully's #1 on Sierra Highlands Dr. tap. Every Monday night and Sunday when the Pack is not televised local. Sometimes Sat nights too. The Bully's 15 to a dozen wings are tough to beat.

FWIW, if it's yellow when you enter the intersection, it's legal. The cross traffic doesn't get a green light until after the red lights up plus a small delay, which is sufficient to allow you to clear the intersection.

My pet peeve is people who slam on their brakes to stop for a yellow, nearly causing a chain reaction pile up behind them. Red means stop. Green means go. Yellow means go fast.

LOL, good one

Actually if any part of your car is in the intersection when the light turns red, you can get a ticket per the cop's judgement.

Saburo, in California, red means you can't enter the intersection (entering = crossing the limit line). If you are already in there when it turns red, you can leave without penalty. It might be different in your state though, so make sure you know the law for your state.
