[mullets suk]

we have alot of drugs, but thats about it. I live in the middle of where white rich kids have to much money and nothing to do. unfortunately im one of them, but with out the drugs.

actually the police here are really good at hiding crime rates and stuff. where i live is one of the best places to live in MD, but people who live here all know that theres a crap load of drugs and a few "gangs" around some areas.

My school has that hat rule, they even took out hat day cause it causes "gang" violence, because a kid wearing a Santa hat represents the north side gang. but because of that hat rule i cant wear my bowler. :angry:

[POINTLESS5448]

at my school you arent allowed to have anything gang related too. theyre dumb about it though. if you have 2 different colored shoe laces thats gang related. insignificant **** like that they claim it to be gang related.
so...
i made a gang related shirt and im starting a gang related gang! its just a stencil in regular font that says "gang related" and im going to make everyone shirts and hopefully everyone will wear them to school.

[Flagjacket]

Shoe laces are used to indicate gang affiliations in LA.

[DaveToopes]

Yeah same with some skinheads.

[AIRIC]

Well maybe if you heard about skinheads from your older brother in 7th grade. I'm pretty sure real skinheads don't do ridiculous **** like that.

[Aus Rotten]

Agreed. That does sound childish to a degree.

[Danger Bird]

My skinhead friend is nearly regretting getting a chelsea cut just as the winter weather was approaching. I thought it was a bit silly in the first place but I didn't stop her.

There's no rules about hats at my school, but occasionally there's the spatula teacher that makes it a rule for their classroom. This year for a change, none of my teachers care, so I can wear my tophat without fail.

I'm jealous. But can the people sitting behind you still see while you're wearing a tophat?

[asdf]

I'm jealous. But can the people sitting behind you still see while you're wearing a tophat?
Generally if I feel like that's going to be an issue, I'll take it off. But more often than not it's not becuase I'm short and I slouch when I sit, or I often sit in the back of class.

I love my tophat.

[DaveToopes]

Well maybe if you heard about skinheads from your older brother in 7th grade. I'm pretty sure real skinheads don't do ridiculous **** like that.

I heard about this from a real life skinhead who cited a real life skinhead zine.............

[asdf]

My skinhead friends don't get involved with the whole shoelace meanings thing. They know about it and what some of them mean in various places, but they really don't care and think it's a waste of time.

[DaveToopes]

See Eric?! I don't **** around.

Where in MD do you live?

[mullets suk]

about 5-10 mins outside columbia, in howard county. you live around here?

[AIRIC]

I really really don't think that skinheads associate themselves with trivial things like that but I'm not a skinhead so maybe they do.

[_Mote_]

Most skins in my town are asses at the shows. Floppin' around like big fat piles of douche in their GG Allin T-shirts. I hate 'em.

EDIT: I'm sure their are plenty of chill ones, just the ones in my area suck.

[Sunshine]

i think its peter glenn that you went to. i probably need a tune up for my board too but from what it sounds like the seasons going to suck so i dont think so.
is rex's revenge one of their breads? they have some good breads, people are always carrying loaves of their bread around at my school.

Yeah, Peter Glenn. That's it.

I'm going to Whistler for the beginning of the season, 21st~28th, sooo I needed a board tune-up in a bad way.

Then Tahoe.

Maybe a little CO.

And if Mt. Lemon doesn't suck..there too.

Naaah, Rex's Revenge is the best sammich they carry mans. Like seriously.

And I want a creme brule, too. Holy crap. I need to drive to Tucson.

about 5-10 mins outside columbia, in howard county. you live around here?

I used to live in Sea...something.

In PG county, right next to Greenbelt.

It was blowy =(

ahahahh you are an idiot.

Of COURSE they do.

In WP, white = white pride, red = killed a member of another race.

That's one version anyway, it all depends on the sub-clique.

[Hagbard Celine]

Living in Michigan FTW. No one cares if Canadians sneak in. Because... what Canadian is ever going to sneak in?

No, see.. thay don't want US getting OUT.

[Sam]

about 5-10 mins outside columbia, in howard county. you live around here?

Yea, I live in Columbia.

[AIRIC]

Uhhh...

I heard about that years ago. What I've been trying to say is that I highly doubt that true skinheads follow this. I would say that they probably buy laces that they like.

[mullets suk]

no idea about where that is, besides being pg county. the only county i know im next to is annerundal, which is about a five minute walk.

[DaveToopes]

I don't understand why you don't think this if you don't know any skinheads in the first place!

Here, white laces are for TRAD's, red are WP skins and yellow/blue are SHARP colors.

[AIRIC]

I'm just thinking that these dudes have better stuff to worry about than their lace color.

[coheneran]

Hilarious acronym. What idiots.

I don't get it...

[Ghostfire3]

Uhhh...

Eric, you're right. Most skins don't play the lace-color game. Most just don't give a **** and they shouldn't.

[AIRIC]

Thank you Thank you THANK YOU.


Sod off Jon you bloody wanker.

[Ghostfire3]

ahahahh you are an idiot.

You see, this is exactly what I'm talking about. There's a million different interpretation of what every lace color means and it's all bullshit. The fact is that most skins don't give a **** about lace color.

[iam2000pounds]

I heard that if laces are tied a certain way they mean white pride or something.

[DaveToopes]

You see, this is exactly what I'm talking about. There's a million different interpretation of what every lace color means and it's all bullshit. The fact is that most skins don't give a **** about lace color.

The skins that YOU know. I know quite a few who go by lace color.

actual soap?

Technically an impossibility, since tr00 vegans don't wash.

On the subject, I haven't washed for about a week and my hair already looks better and feels nicer (not as dry). Also, I don't feel that dirty. I'll probably shower next week or so.

That is totally hot.;) You should use that as a pick-up line next time you go yuppie-clubbing.

Actually, yuppie-clubbing sounds like a funner version of seal-clubbing.

I heard about him but I stopped caring.

[lynch_me]

Actually it was JmE, not nick.

[Ronald McRaygun]

anyone wanna take a guess as to how long i havent bathed?

[Sunshine]

More than two hours?

[Positively Rob]

Is it the new punx thing to not bathe? To me being clean feels great.

[DaveToopes]

xcrustxpunkx

[Ghostfire3]

I actually like taking showers. I just think they feel good. Guess I'm not punk rawk anarchy enough...

[AIRIC]

PUNKROCKANERCHY is more about stealing and fighting than bathing but being dirty helps.

[coheneran]

I just haven't had a shower lately because I couldn't be bothered. I can't say I'm feeling any dirtier than usual. I wonder when I will take a shower.

I'm riding my bike all the way to Camden Town tommorow, I hope it's not windy and/or rainy. Highgate Hill, here I come, so you better watch it!

[plebeian scum]

I actually like taking showers. I just think they feel good. Guess I'm not punk rawk anarchy enough...
They don't feel afterwards though. You're cold and have to deal with wet hair. But that's my only complaint about showers.

Yeah, I've noticed that you feel a little weird the day after not showering, but after that you get used to the slightly dingy feeling, and you can go several days without anyone noticing. And like eran said, it's nice that your hair is less dry.

Except I get dandruff if I don't wash my hair enough.

[coheneran]

Have you tried rubbing teatree oil into your scalp?

[Liebensaft]

I'm pretty much the same way. My hair looks a lot better when I haven't showered and have slept on it for a couple days, but if I go too long, a little bit of dandruff starts up. I usually have a couple days between showers.

[AIRIC]

I shower every morning because my hair is so thick and gets really greasy and disgusting.

[Ghostfire3]

I shower every morning because my hair is so thick and gets really greasy and disgusting.

Yeah, same here.

[bigblondeafro87]

wow, a month and a half. Closest I've been in memory is ten days over the summer and that rocked, but hair pretty much became a mass of tangled dreadlocks. Maybe this summer a new record will come about as I live in a tent on a mountainside...

[yourstruly]

I shower twice a week and change my clothes often. Showers are just annoying, I hate them.

[The Ska Man]

I shower every morning because my hair is so thick and gets really greasy and disgusting.


Sameness. I cut my hair, though, sooo, I doesn't stink as bad when I don't wash it for like, a week or two. At least, I don't smell it. I wanted to get all the stench out though, so I washed my hair like three times for the last three days..

[AIRIC]

I have a bigger problem with deoderant. It's just not a habit like teeth brushing so I dont apply everyday. Proabably 5 times a week though so it's not like I have bad BO.

[Sunshine]

My hair is uberly thin and it STILL gets insanely greasy if I don't shower every 24 hours =/

Thin and short.

And 'hawked.

But that's not the point.

I can't stand not showering. My skin gets all oily too =(

[Danger Bird]

What thread is this?

[AIRIC]

It's the DIY thread Bobby Hill.

[Sunshine]

...why are we talking about showering again?

[Danger Bird]

...why are we talking about showering again?

This is my point.

[AIRIC]

Because we're a community and when an interesting subject comes up we go with it because the DIY thread is stale and boring.

[Danger Bird]

an interesting subject
So where does the frequency of showers come into play?

[AIRIC]

Sorry bro lets just continue with posting gay *** DIY t-shirts.

[Sunshine]

Aww, c'mon.

Not ALL DIY shirts are gay.

But it IS kind of sad how commercial the whole thing has become.

Yay anarchy club.

[Danger Bird]

Yay anarchy club.

If you're referring to my shirt, that's Eric Guzman.

[Sunshine]

's cool.

I'm just saying, it reminds me of organized anarchy.

Anarchy club.

[Danger Bird]

I've never heard of this "organized anarchy"

[Sunshine]

It's nothing real, not that I know of anyway.

It just seems like that's the way things are headed in society.

[Danger Bird]

okey dokey

[Sunshine]

It's a big media thing.

Take Unaccompanied Minors for a second.

I havn't seen the movie, but you don't need to to note the following:
~Bunch of kids, stuck somewhere unfavorable
~Mean ole adults trying to ruin their Christmas or whatever
~The kids are right, the adults are wrong
~The kids win by banding together to overthrow the rule the adults have imposed on them.

Oragnized anarchy, no?

Happy Feet:
~Old, Christian white penguin guy is all like "Dancing is wrong and lame and stupid"
~Young "non-conformist" penguin dances and eventually saves the colony
~Penguin #2 overthrows penguin #1's rule with the help of the other penguins.

There's a million examples of it in the media.

Like the hypocricy of TLC?

They have a commercial..thing..like "Think for yourself," blah blah blah.

And the actor they chose to do it?

Clinton Kelly, the guy from What Not To Wear.

I could go on for hours, but I'll stop here.

You get it.

[Danger Bird]

Seems more about rebellion targeted towards youth because they eat that type of **** up.

[Sunshine]

I think it's because they've become too sheep-like, so the media has to stir up SOME form of controversy.

The result is this weird commercialized anti-establishment thing.

HotTopic?

[Danger Bird]

I don't think selling anti-authority is anything new.

ie Rebel Without a Cause

[Sunshine]

True.

I dunno.

It just seems worse than before..

But then, I wasn't alive much "before," so perhaps I'm wrong.

[Aus Rotten]

Has anyone made anything lately? Sheesh! What's with the lack of pictures! Although, I am continuing the trend in saying, I just sewed my own hoodie out of a few pairs of old jeans, and am supplying no pictures. :upset:

[Sunshine]

I'm making a t-shirt for my birthday.

And by making I mean performing reconstructive surgery on, but you get it.

[Danger Bird]

I'm making brownies with stars of david on them as we speak





... type

[Aus Rotten]

Well, happy birthday to yourself then Sunshine! Explain though, what do you mean by making your own T-Shirt? Stenciling/painting it yourself?

[Sunshine]

Thanks ^-^

Naaah, I suck at that and don't have the adequate materials.

More like, writing on it in sharpie.

The customization part, though, is more of a cut-sew-change-the-shape-of-it sort of thing. That's more my forte.

Making t-shirts not look like t-shirts anymore.

[Aus Rotten]

haha, that's awesome! I just recently made an entire hat out of old patch material. It's pretty tight methinks! Although, it barely functions as a hat anymore!

[Sunshine]

Hehe awww, that's very much cool though ^-^

Yeah, I have a ginormous bag of scraps and things to use for t-shirt surgery.

[coheneran]

I shower every morning because my hair is so thick and gets really greasy and disgusting.

My hair is thicker than yours and it doesn't do that. Try going for a week without washing it at all, see if it gets better. For some people, their hair gets greasier if they keep washing it.

I have a bigger problem with deoderant. It's just not a habit like teeth brushing so I dont apply everyday. Proabably 5 times a week though so it's not like I have bad BO.

I've put deodorant on once in the last year and a bit, and that wasn't even for the smell, it was 'cos I was in Israel and the sticky armpits were driving me nuts and chemical deodorant dries them out (which isn't very good for me, but neither are drugs).

Aww, c'mon.

Not ALL DIY shirts are gay.

But it IS kind of sad how commercial the whole thing has become.

I think it's because they've become too sheep-like, so the media has to stir up SOME form of controversy.

HotTopic?

That's capitalism for you.

haha, that's awesome! I just recently made an entire hat out of old patch material. It's pretty tight methinks! Although, it barely functions as a hat anymore!

I feel like saying something disparaging about your hat, but that's mean, and it sounds like a pretty cool hat, so I'll say something about you flirting in the DIY thread. Stop it!

Here's a DIY tip for anyone living in London: Ever wondered how to put old bus passes to good use in saving you money? Hold them upside down and at an angle, and when you get on the bus and hold it up for the driver's scrutiny, try to walk on the right side of the door (ie. the side furthest away from the Oyster reader). I've been going almost two weeks without paying for busses, using the same bus pass.

Way to not support the valuable public service you depend on :thumb:

Dudes, I just saw a commercial on TV about how it's unchristian to shop at walmart. It lists all these facts about child labor and stuff and then it's like "Would Jesus shop at Walmart? Should you?"
EDIT: Yo, found it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2dk8f21TIo

Way to not support the valuable public service you depend on :thumb:

Hey, not only should public transport be free, it should definitely not cost a quid fifty for a single. Besides, it's not like I'm ripping off the taxpayers, the whole thing's privatised now.

Dudes, I just saw a commercial on TV about how it's unchristian to shop at walmart. It lists all these facts about child labor and stuff and then it's like "Would Jesus shop at Walmart? Should you?"

Jesus was a socialist/anarchist, he wouldn't be going near Walmart unless it was to steal/throw bricks/burn it.

[Danger Bird]

Not all companies are evil, you're still stealing without any kind of justification.

Jesus was a socialist/anarchist, he wouldn't be going near Walmart unless it was to steal/throw bricks/burn it.

Yeah, I heard Jesus was a big advocate of stealing and violence.

[coheneran]

A capitalist company is evil.

Yeah, I heard Jesus was a big advocate of stealing and violence.

He was all about the wealth redistribution, and stealing is just a way of doing it through direct action.:p

You're right about the violence though.

[bigblondeafro87]

I just prefer not to think about society and the media because it makes me way to mad. I just kinda do whatever the hell I feel like doing and ignore society and the media as you could do with an annoying child, taking them down a notch at every oppurtunity.

Then you shouldn't ride the bus at all. But just reaping the benefits of what you call an evil company without paying your fair share is wrong. Not to mention how closed-minded that is, it's basically the same as the US invading Viet Nam just because we didn't like communism.

That's pretty good, and those shoes are definately DIY. You might want to lay some newspaper or something down around the edges of your stencils so you don't get so much overspray like on the Subhumans shirt, unless you wanted to make it more DIY-looking.

Free bus pass ;)

Do you think if I drop out of college it will feed back in any way to TFL? I live on my free bus pass, gahhh

[Flagjacket]

Haha to that bus pass thing,I read about someone in some city where the drivers barely even look at bus passes, and they had a contest to see who could get on the bus with the weirdest item, and someone waved bread at the driver and was allowed onto the bus.

[asdf]

I like my busdrivers, so I don't rip them off.

[Liebensaft]

I ride a school bus. It does not require any type of pass.

[coheneran]

I like my busdrivers, so I don't rip them off.

Seeing as all the bus drivers get paid by the hour, and they all have the same rates of pay since they're unionised (Transport & General, thank you very much), I'm not ripping off the workers. Just the bosses.

[DaveToopes]

You think too much.

[coheneran]

When I was a baby I was dropped into a cauldron of magic thinking potion.

[Liebensaft]

He was, a few seconds prior to that, dropped into a cauldron of magic homosexual potion on accident, and the doctor grabbed him out before, or so he thought, irrevocable harm would be done.

[bleep_bloop]

the drivers of the buses here are mean to me so i wouldnt care if i ripped them off

[AIRIC]

School busdrivers are always mean. Except this one guy my dad is pretty good friends with is always really nice to me when he's my sub bus driver.

im talking about the city bus drivers. i dont take the school bus, i walk or ride my bike to school.

Yes I'm aware but the only bus I use is the school bus so I'm just commenting on that.

[bleep_bloop]

oh ok

[Sunshine]

So. Belts.

There's the obvious ones, like shoelaces/string tied around one's waist, plain and simple.

There's also other easy little things, like t-shirt scraps sewn/braided/twisted/whathaveyou together.

Tape, of course, that's a given.

But what else might be used to hold one's pants up?

[DaveToopes]

My belt is this nylon thing that was the belt for my old hockey pants. It works pretty well. My brother made a belt a while ago with some nylon and these plastic clips, the ones with three prongs on the phallus like end, and the other, vagina like end is hollow and the outer clips on the former part snap out the sides of the vag.. I can't describe them.

[AIRIC]

My belt is green from the Gap and it's not been working lately. I'm pissed.

Hahaha.

Spazzy.

[_Mote_]

I don't usually wear a belt. My pants are tight enough to stay on their own. I may purchase one, due to the fact of how damn classy they look.

[DaveToopes]

Hahaha.

Spazzy.

Haha, halfway through that I realized nobody would know what I was talking about. I'll try to find a picture of the clips but I don't know what they are called.

[Sunshine]

Haha, cool.

Good luck, I wanna see now.

[Converge#12]

I have a righteous jams belt.

[Danger Bird]

I had one of those belts where you slide the end in the buckle and then it sort of locks, you know?

But I ripped off the buckle, made a loop with some safety pins, punched a hole in it with a nail, and put a lobster belt buckle on it.

I'm sorry, why are we talking about belts?

[Flagjacket]

I have a black Army belt, cloth and with a locking bar isntead of a real buckle, but I'd like a nice belt and then I'd get sweet buckles.

[The Ska Man]

I like bullet belts...

[World Burns To Death]

u r ghay

[mullets suk]

i use string from th inside of these old shorts. i think its the drawstring. i know its not a belt, but the strap for my bass i use another one of those drawstrings along with the hem of ripped up shirt.

does anyone else get made fun for using a string? or is that just me.

[DaveToopes]

Do I "get mad fun"..? What the deuce?

[yourstruly]

I know lots of people who use shoelaces. I just use the plain belt my mum bought me, when she didn't want me wearing a studded belt to school which is now broken.

[The Ska Man]

u r ghay

Ow! My feelings..Oh..wait I could care less! :cool: Today's been nice, sooo, don't ruin it!

[Jon]

I have many several belts.

Almost always wear my leopard print one with two rows of conical studs.

And my bullet belt quite a lot, but its uncomfy sometimes.

Rounding off my top three belts is this scene kid one. You know the ones with pyramid studs. Except my friend gave it to me; it brown with faded-gold studs and its awesome.

I have one like this but in white

And various other belts in that vein that I very very very rarely wear (mike monroe has ones like that so its fine for me to).

I saw one like

you can't get laid

your political views are retarded

you like **** music.

SHUT UP.

[Rise Me Up]

All that may be true Jon, but you dress in drag which is way gayer than Eran sucking penises and whatnot.

[AIRIC]

And you also can't comment on music :(

[Jon]

I know; I'm wearing a white t-shirt, black leather jacket, blue drainpipes and doc martens; i'm so san fran, darling.

what

[Flagjacket]

What are drainpipes? And your leather jacket is probably tighter than Tipper Gore's ***.

[Jon]

drainpipes = tight jeans? (not girls jeans; just tight guys jeans)

leather jacket = normal biker jacket?

I just look like Joey Ramone right now..

[Flagjacket]

Wearing tight pants that aren't just "tight pants" but pants that are specially made to be tight pants is kind of gay.

[Jon]

wtf

how can you wear tight jeans that aren't specifically made to be tight jeans?

surely in such a situation those jeans would be 'normal' jeans instead of 'tight' jeans.

[Flagjacket]

It's like buying a car and then finding out they're a size to small for you but you're fine with it, and buying a clown car.

False accusation, I got laid two nights ago. And before that. And again before that. And tommorow night.

All that may be true Jon, but you dress in drag which is way gayer than Eran sucking penises and whatnot.

No, Jonni wears faux drag, which is totally closet-gay. This, on the other hand, is completely hawt: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCWW01N8ql4

Freddy Merc is fit.

That dude was totally gay, man.

[The Ska Man]

Jacket vs vest.?

[mullets suk]

i saw a guy wearing a leather jacket and thought, that guy is totally cool. i then saw a guy wearing a leather vest, and thought, that guy is totally not. then i realized cool was all in the leather sleeves.

i've got leather sleeves:cool:

[DaveToopes]

Vest if you have muscular arms.

[yourstruly]

what the ****?. I'm pretty sure the majority of people that wear tight jeans, bought jeans that were manufactured to be tight..

tight jeans aren't "too small" for you, unless they're too tight at the waist of course.. They just happen to fit tightly around your legs, which is the point.

You have to have the right jawline/body structure too.

Don't ask me why, but the only guys I've seen look good in vests have the same jawline.

Yo Apollo Creed called he wants his robe back.

It's like buying a car and then finding out they're a size to small for you but you're fine with it, and buying a clown car.

for that to happen you would have to be pretty skinny. doesnt work for me. and i have a hell of a time finding pants that aren't like homie-baggy levels.
i want some skinny kahki pants but i cant find any so im gunna sew some bigger ones up. maybe im just going to all the wrong stores...hmm...

Yo Apollo Creed called he wants his robe back.

the whole band called? i thought they broke up.

I was hanging around TCR the other night at 4am wearing a ripped vest and jeans.

The funny thing is I was holding my leather, and my girl had my hoodie and gloves and hat in her bag.

I couldn't speak for a day or two after; it was freeeezing

[The Ska Man]

3) its winter, its ****ing freezing


I..hate *envy* you. I live in south Florida, where he weather stays the same all freaking year long. Moist, and hot. It gets a wee bit colder in these months, but not enough to need a jacket. The coldest day we've had so far was in early november..

[Sunshine]

I'd rather be hot all year long than freezing with a cold right now =(

[coheneran]

I like English weather. Chaotic is where it's at!

I just tuned my guitar and the talkin' blues sequence sounds so cleancut and sharp. I love it.

cold=suckage, be happy. when it snows its 1000x worse.

[AIRIC]

Meh. Right now I want summer to come, in summer I'll be wishign for winter. It's nice to have something to look forward to in the weather and having freezing/****in' hot weather year round would suck.

[bigblondeafro87]

the only disavantage of it being cold is that I can't spend as much time outside walking around/ finding spontaneous things to do, and there less brush to hide from people in. And being under of the influence of anything is much more fun in the warm. And camping is a ton more fun

[AIRIC]

This is all true but dude you gotta pick up snowboarding and find a house party:)

[asdf]

To try and bring this thread back to what it is, does anyone have any DIY sled ideas?

A few years ago I used this top of a small table from my backyard, but it didn't work too well, and I ended up scratching it a lot. My parents still don't know what the hell happened to it.

I don't have any good sleds. :(

[Flagjacket]

I've always wanted to try a couch cushion of some sort with a grabge bag affixed to the bottom.

That's definitely a new one.

[coheneran]

How about cutting out a reindeer's stomach, sawing its legs off, stretching its lungs' membrane on its underside (also good to cover the hole up), tying the intestines to its horns and using it as a sled with reins (it is a reindeer after all)? If you're in a festive mood, you can also add fairy lights to the intestines.

Some garbage can lids work, but you gotta have the right shape and the snow has to be deep enough.

[bleep_bloop]

its ****ing cold here right now

[Flagjacket]

We actually hjaven't gotten any snow. I hope the Gods are holding back until mid-January to totally blast the **** out of us with ten feet of snow.

[Danger Bird]

I've gotten like 5 snow days. I stayed inside though.

[Feel The Darkness]

It's mid-December and it's ****ing 75 degrees outside. It was 85 last week. :upset:

If your school cafeteria has plastic lunch trays.. the kind that you return to them so they can wash. They work great for packed snow sledding.

[bleep_bloop]

hey sunshine is it as cold in sierra vista as it is here in tucson?

[Sunshine]

It's been snowing on and off all day long.

It went from like 50 to 36 degrees.

[bleep_bloop]

i feel your pain. minus the snow.

[nitzguy]

there is always the cardboard sled. has to be on packed snow.

if you have any old leather chair coushins you can use them too, granted they don't work that well.

[Sunshine]

Haha, oh well.

I wonder what it's like in Phoenix...we're driving up later today 'cause we're flying to Canada [COLD AS A BITCH] to go snowboarding and we leave at like 7:30 in the moring. What a suck-*** flight time, we have to be up by like 4~4:30 =/

On a subject slightly more related to this thread, I got a sewing machine for my birthday yesterday.

Yay.

All my hand-stitched clothing sucks, I don't know how I had the [figurative] balls to wear all that in public. Some of those skirts are about to fall right in 2.

[coheneran]

You should persuade your family to hop freights and hitch rides to Canada instead. Commercial flights are the fastest growing source of pollution or something.

[Sunshine]

I don't want my board to get broken, Nitro doesn't make Shoguns anymore =(

Nothx.

And yeah, I live in AZ.

Now.

But I have a SNOWboard.

Because I lived in Japan.

And we snowboarded.

There's no sand where I live, I live 1/2 way up in the mountains, it's all dirt =/

[coheneran]

Mountain-boarding!

[AIRIC]

I'm going to Utah for snowboarding in Febuary.

Pumped.

[Sunshine]

Snowboarding >>> other boarding.

Utah?

Cool.

We're going to Tahoe later in the year, probably Colorado somewheres, most likely Flagstaff, and if it looks good, Mt. Lemon right o'er there in Tucson.

[AIRIC]

I'm not sure if it's Utah or not. I think we're going to Mammoth so wherever that is.

I'm going with my cousin and uncle. I love my family so much I went to Hawaii with them in September and now snowboarding in Febuary.

Pumped.

[Sunshine]

Mammoth = California, but still cool.

[The Ska Man]

i am working on the biggest and hardest diy project ever It is a beer pong table with a **** full color full background scene of a mario keg party it should be sick it will be 8 foot by 4 foot huge stencil and a ton of work i have already started cutting it should be done in a few weeks

[Rise Me Up]

That's quite a project. Keep us updated on progress.

[bigblondeafro87]

I defretted an old BC Rich bass of mine and now Im making a new body for it and epoxying the fretboard if somebody has and tips or tricks I might want to know about

[Liebensaft]

Cool. The people in the bass forum are pretty smart and can help you. I never looked much into defretting.

[Anxious]

Check out the Lutherie sub forum in bass.

[Danger Bird]

Yeah, my only advice would be to not **** up the action.

[bigblondeafro87]

Nah I've got it under control. I've messed around with basses quite a bit so I think I got it under control. Playing a fretless is verry nice, because it feels so much more natural. Right now the spiky body is retarded looking and uncomfortable and the single P- pickup in the neck position sounds really bad, so I've gotta work on the body

[Danger Bird]

I love playing fretless.

[yourstruly]

Fretless sounds hard to play.

Only DIY thing i've done lately, is cut/ripped the sleeves off one of my t-shirts.

[Danger Bird]

I have a t-shirt with your avatar on it.

[bigblondeafro87]

I just patched up a couple huge holes in a backpack of mine with pieces of one my dad's flannel shirts. shhhhh.....

[yourstruly]

I re-stitched a patch on my bag, and cut the peak off of my peaked beanie then stitched it up with a big needle and wool, cos peaked beanies are lame and I might need something to cover however my hair is at school next year if my admins don't like it.

[The Ska Man]

You guys ever make pants? I want to, I just don't wanna spend cashola on material that I'd end up wasting. Any tips for some really simple pants?

[bigblondeafro87]

I dunno it can't be too hard. If you have any spare canvas or any cloth you could experiment with making the legs and everything, then just buy some denim or whatever when you think you're ready

[Positively Rob]

If you don't have a sewing machine I would advise against it and instead go to a thrift shop and get a cheap pair there.

[yourstruly]

I found a shop that sells counterfeit versions of the pants i wear for $10NZD rather than $60NZD for the ones I already have.

I shall be stocking up, soon.

[The Ska Man]

I don't know how much dollars that is..but it sounds like a lot for pants..

just checked..40 bucks..still a lot for pants. Nice find, though! that's crazy!
