Hey buddha, a friend wants me to find him a good used SS front brake line, and you're the first demi-god I thought of asking. He's got a '95 GS, but I'm pretty sure the brake lines are interchangeable, and I expect you to correct me if I'm wrong about that. 8)

Let me know what you've got hidden away, and how much you want for it shipped to SoCal; I think his zip is 90026...

FWIW, my girlfriend told me last night that if I don't cut down on the Sam Adams, she's going to change MY name to Buddha, so you two might have to throwdown soon... my money is on her, because she's mean AND evil, and everyone knows the Buddha was a peaceful man.

Keep spreading the gospel about Champion 809s, which were previously sold as Champion RA6HC plugs, and I'll do the same.

Last guy I know who suddenly started calling himself "the Buddha" was bipolar and had to go to the hospital for awhile, no joke.   :o

All okay with you, oh my guru?    :icon_confused:

Or have you just put on some new weight around the middle?   ;)

You should have changed it to Siddhartha. It's also difficult to spell and hard to pronounce.   8)

Cool.

No offense, but why would he want to be associated with a book about Buddhism written by a drunk german man ( sorry that last bit is mildly redundant)

I was actually referring to the true name of The Buddha, which was Siddhartha Gautama, not to Hesse's novel by that name, though the novel is an allegorical teaching of the Dharma set during Gautama's time, and includes the Buddha as a character.

It just seemed more similar to Seshadri Srinath (did I get that right????) but that's probably why he went to something less complicated.

Yeah, I had to read Siddhartha in high school, along with Lord of the Flies, which was great,  and Catcher In The Rye, which sucked.

Siddhartha, though it may be the personal name of Buddha, is commonly associated with either tedious school-work or the drunken man that wrote the book.  In that light, I would think one would tend to stray away from the association.  Just me though.

Nothing too complicated, I have some people that may come after me ... I just want to be harder to find.
Werase already used to call me Buda - so I am just taking it 1 step further.

Hey Buddha, any luck finding the stainless steel brake line I asked you about in my first reply? Not that I'm in a rush, you understand...

Thanks for your time; if I ever get to the Bay Area / Charlotte / Houston, or somehow happen to achieve enlightenment, I'll look you up, and even buy you a beer or three...

Admins can change names; perhaps the mod didn't know that or just meant that they couldn't?  :dunno_white:

Do you still want to change it?  ;)

You're right about the tedious school work.   8)

But in regards to associations, you have a D ykes On Bikes name????

BTW,  I find I'm offended at what was substituted by the software when I typed  d y k  e  s.

On the subject of 'Siddhartha' it stirs memories of Theology 1126, a class I took because I registered late and nothing else was available.  I enjoyed the book, but hated the class.  Our instructor was much too busy finishing up his PHD thesis to actually teach us so we mostly wrote reports on various theological readings from around the world.  I stopped reading and started bullshitting when I realized he wasn't actually reading our reports.
