Make a donation to the ethnic cleansing in Darfur.

That sounds a little screwed up

[coheneran]

Make a donation to the ethnic cleansing in Darfur.

OK.

*starts killing foreigners*

[Flagjacket]

There are kids at my school who formed an organization about it but so far all they've done is "raise awareness" which means they made T Shirts and act like they're making a huge difference.

[DaveToopes]

Those kids should get plane tickets to Darfur.

[Flagjacket]

Yeah, I make fun of this one girl and always tell her that it's nerdy to wear Lord of the Rings shirts but when we talk about it she just says "Those people shouldn't be getting killed" over and over.

[Win A Rabbit]

Okay I said I'd do a little write-up on how to make a wallet and post it in this thread, but I completely forgot about it until now.

I'm going to start on a new wallet tomorrow, so I'll take a couple pictures and post them in here with a little write-up.

Just for fun, here's some pics of my current wallet.

I don't want your homemade **** unles you can get that Louis Vuitton print on it. Say word.

This is the Mario Keg Party beer pong table I have been working on. I made stencils for the background and the outline of everything else and we colored it in the stencil is the biggest ****ing thing I have ever cut. Jordan and Sea-Bass helped me cut and paint this thing. We had to put Primer between color which sucked but it came out quite well.

That. Is so awesome. Good job, man!

[AIRIC]

That table is awesome nice work man.

[coheneran]

What's beer pong? And how big is that table?

[mullets suk]

is all of it stenciled or just the characters? great job, how long did it take

[DaveToopes]

You don't have beer pong in England? WHAT THE HELL?

[coheneran]

We don't really have keg parties here.

[Flagjacket]

Hahahahahaa the guy on the turntables.

[Jon]

the only drinking games allowed to be played are:

a) vodkapoker
b) stripvodkapoker
c) fuzzy duck
d) drink as much as you can as quickly as you can

beer pong and keg stands are way too steel reserve imho.

what even is steel reserve? is it actually beer?

I view these american 'lagers' with mistrust

[coheneran]

What is Fuzzy Duck?

Meh, it works for me, and I don't think I could bring myself to buy a wallet for the prices they sell for here. I'd rather make my own any day, regardless of how bad they are.

It is a rule that beer pong is always played in garages or basements.

Steel is the beer when you want to get drunk and only have 2 bucks and some change. it's like 11% and tastes like crap- but gets the job done:chug: we tried to brew our own beer a few times, only one was good- a pale ale

you don't need to have a keg to play beer pong- just a few cases of beer- a table and cups.

there is also flip cup- a better game IMHO, drink, set the cup down(bottom end first) and flip over to the drinking end- it goes down the line when the guy next you finishes- 5 on a side or how ever many

[Burger Bike]

F ucking awesome table!! Are you going to put plexiglass or anything over it to save the paintjob?

[bleep_bloop]

yo DaveToopes i still need to get that Funeral Diner split from you
i could rep you in return or we could trade music i dont know whatever works.

I covered the table in this polycrlic stuff to protect the paint and by the way I like beer pong but not even that much but my roommates like it so we end up playing a lot thus the table but I do love steel reserve or "211" which is a high gravity lager and is 8.1% abv and runs about 3 dollars for a 4-pack of pints. That stuff has a special place in my hart. I have started a holiday in its honor to celebrate all cheap beer cheap it focuses mostly on the cheapest of all cheap beers it is on 2/11 so everybody celebrate it this year and go spread the good word of Steel.

[skavid]

Yeah, the only muy cheapo malt liquor we really have up here are Steel Reserve, something along the lines of "Working Bull" or something similar, and Old English 800. OE is the cheapest, at only like $1.25 for a quart (40's are illegal here)

Sewing was always really annoying for me - always made my mother do it.

Today my buddy silk screened a home made Leftover Crack shirt I can't wait to see it, he is amazing at tagging so I think he can show me some cool stuff in the DIY section. Any of you guys ever spraypainted a shirt?

It's a skirt not a shirt. How could you see a nipple?

[Sunshine]

Yeah, and I don't see any part of my lower body that even slightly resembles a nipple.

[coheneran]

Young men with over-active imaginations these days.:rolleyes:

The lacing's cool, how did you do that?

I have a dress, though it's much more conservative than that. Luckily it has an anarchy patch on it.

[AIRIC]

LUCKILY!

[Burger Bike]

I just wanted to see what you'd do. :wave:

It was exciting in a non perverted way

[The Ska Man]

Nice, it's rad.

[Sunshine]

Haha, thanks gice.

The lacing, well, I was too lazy to make actual loops, so I just attached saftey pins where the loops would've been and threaded through that.

Nice, easy..eventually I'll get around to re-sewing the sides [there's some screw-ups in there] and probably putting proper loops to thread through on there.

[Converge#12]

I like the skirt it was a good idea and its something new!

Oh my god, I want this on my walls, right now.

EDIT: It's the first one under "latex"

[DaveToopes]

I hear that stuff doesn't work well, like chalk doesn't even come close to fully erasing once you write on it. Maybe the person I talked to just didn't use enough coats though.

[Twin Human Highway Flares]

For a while I was thinking of putting whiteboards on all my walls, floor and ceiling. Just for fun, naturally.

Dude, they make spray-paint like that =/

My parents did it to my toilet seat, for parties.

And it erases just fine.

My dad *was* going to do that to parts of his car [he's still considering it], but opted for an extremely sucky painted-at-home matte black.

He's also going to stick a big spike on the hood and buy an ugly baby doll head and impale it on said spike.

And he wants to turn his car in to a pirate ship.

...><

[AIRIC]

Your dad rules. The only thing my dad does is crossword puzzles.

[The Ska Man]

I am SO buying a VW bus and turning it into a pirate ship..

It's like having a 10-year-old brother in charge of you.

Well, you could try a more DIY approach through experimenting. To my knowledge, chalk works best on porous material, like asphalt which is made up of lots of tiny rocks, or wood which is lots of miniscule "valleys" on the surface, and why chalk doesn't work on smooth surfaces. So maybe if you got your desired paint colour and mixed it up with something to make it rougher, like maybe sawdust or that salt they use to melt snow on the roads. I guess basically experiment with as many fine bits and piece you can think of, until you find something that works. At that point, make it public, please.

[Twin Human Highway Flares]

That would be expensive as hell unless you ripped them off.

It wasn't so much a plan as a hypothetical musing.

[The Ska Man]

I liked the idea...If I, by any chance, ever become a bagillionaire with no hard work whatsoever(which is how it'll happen..if it happens), well, one of the rooms in my house will be like that...

[coheneran]

I think a medium-sized room with mirror walls that work like a whiteboard would be cooler, because then you could drop acid and spend the trippiest eight hours of your life doodling in that room, with everything reflecting back into infinity. You would trip out like mad dog on catnip.

[Ghostfire3]

For a while I was thinking of putting whiteboards on all my walls, floor and ceiling. Just for fun, naturally.

Only problem is your room would permanently smell like those dry-erase markers and the fumes would probably kill you in your sleep. But other than that, hey go for it!:thumb: :D

[Twin Human Highway Flares]

Yeah, some sort of ventilation system would be in order. I'd have to take out all the windows and replace them with whiteboard things that open. I like the smell, but the fumes would be undoubtedly harmful.

And yeah, acid doesn't really work with my edge policy. Though it's probably the one drug I'd do were I to break edge.

[Sunshine]

Acid? Seriously?

If you have a bad trip, it can come back and haunt you for like 10 years =/

My art teacher got arrested for acid back in like the 60s or something..every year someone looks up her criminal record online and tells everyone "OH MAN GUYS MRS G GOT BUSTED FOR ACID~!~~!!!!!"

[Twin Human Highway Flares]

Well, yeah, there's the bad trip factor, but if you set it up right, apparently it can be an amazing experience. If I was to do drugs, I wouldn't just want to get high, I'd want something really cool.

[coheneran]

Bad trips only happen if:

(a) You're going through a bad time in your life, depression etc. Never take any drugs if you're feeling bad emotionally.

(b) You try to fight the effects of the trip. You gotta lay back and enjoy it. Keep reminding yourself it's all happening because you dropped acid, lay back, and let the trip guide you, don't try to control it.

It is amazing fun.

If acid flashbacks are real, that's awesome. That's like two trips for the price of one! Unless they incorporate the price of the second trip into the price of the tab, in which case, bastards.

[Sunshine]

Dude, acid flashbacks can come at *any time.*

Like, when you're driving or at work and ****?

That's a bad, bad thing.

Which is why acid = not so good.

Well...one of the reasons, anyway.

[asdf]

According to my brother the acid collecting in your spinal cord thing is a myth, which implies that you cannot have flashbacks.

However, his own girlfriend used to be a heavy drug user and has claimed to have had flashbacks to bad trips.

But she has Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, so she might have just been having a bad flashback. Hard to say.

[Ghostfire3]

If acid flashbacks are real, that's awesome. That's like two trips for the price of one! Unless they incorporate the price of the second trip into the price of the tab, in which case, bastards.

Actually it's like getting ripped off twice. Why would you want to pay for multiple bad experiences?

[mullets suk]

a freinds freinds did acid and it messed his head really bad. if he doesnt chain smoke he'll start seeing images and stuff. (like look in a mirror and see three eyes instead of 2) im guessing that one of the smaller problems, but he said it gets alot worse.

as for me i dont do drugs. its not like im edge or anything, i just dont trust em.

[Ghostfire3]

How does chain smoking help?

[Jon]

i don't really have intention of doing acid.

i really **** myself up when i do shrooms and stuff, like proper ego crushing and actually physically hurting me. couldn't deal with 12 hours.

*sticks to other substances*

[Danger Bird]

Flashbacks are a myth, but it's possible to get symptoms related to post-traumatic stress disorder.

I'd probably do acid 40 years ago, but these days pure acid is very hard to find, it's mostly just strychnine and speed.

[asdf]

It makes a whole lot of sense for her to be suffering from PSTD, because when she did heavy drugs was when most of the terrible things she has flashbacks about happened.

[Ghostfire3]

Someone provide me with hard evidence that flashbacks are a myth. I don't believe it.:o

[asdf]

I'm too lazy to look it up, and I don't even know for sure. My brother claims that because it's water soluable, it can't possibly be stored in your spinal cord for extended periods of time.

[Jon]

i've never got flashbacks from shrooms; i have the most intense adventures then forget them 10 seconds later :(

OH MY GOD I JUST HAD A FLASHBACK

no joke

oh my godddd that was amazing. like really nice.

but it was only because I was concentrating really hard trying to remember

eeee its back :)

it was this picture, some weird thing that associated really deeply with a happy memory from childhood or something, it made me feel really warm and comforted on the trip and its doing a similar thing now. :)

anyway.

I get proper flashbacks from mdma :(

[Flagjacket]

The edge.

[Sunshine]

I know a guy who did shrooms.

He told me about his trip the next day.

He thought he was a Zombie King and the bathroom was his layer, so he walked around, locked in the bathroom, afraid to leave his layer, and....some other stuff.

~~

Oh, and by "did" shrooms, what I really mean is, he "does" shrooms.

[Jon]

I don't believe you.
I'm not even joking.

Everytime I picture this image it makes me feel fuzzy inside.

I can't even describe the image but its a proper deja vu thing.

omg i want some more shrooms, just for the hell of it.

I always try and pull my hands apart though. like dislocate the joints.

[AIRIC]

Haha you're such an idiot Jon.

[DaveToopes]

yeah seriously.

[Jon]

I don't even know if I do it or I'm imagining it, or the slightest tap makes me think I am really hurting myself.

I get really strong shrooms :p

[Flagjacket]

Jon go lock yourself in a bathrookm until you sober up.

[insaneflyingmonkey]

I started making shoes out of canvas (and perhaps a broken bicycle tyre if I could find one) before I went home for xmas. I managed to almost finish developing the pattern, before I flew home. Now that I'm back, I'm no longer in a huge DIY kick, so I've lost inspiration... also, I don't have a sewing machine, and hand sewing is too weak to make a pair of shoes. At least my hand sewing is. They would have been similar in shape to vans-style loafers. One of these days I'm gonna get back at them... I'll post pics at that point.

[Sunshine]

Argh, I hate it when that happens ><

I have a giant collage...co..uh...that one thing with the pictures and crap, that I was making, really very large, but suddenly I lost intrest.

That was 4 months ago, I have no idea what it is about that...however you spell it...that makes me not want to finish. I've done other ones, just not that one. And pieces have been breaking off and ripping, which is really sad, because for a 1/2 finished piece of artwork, it was really very cool.

[mullets suk]

How does chain smoking help?

well the flashback vision crap made him really nervous, so he started to smoke to relax and i guess some how that helped with the visions. i dont really understand it fully, but im just sayin what he said.

My freshman year we were doing collages out of stuff found in magazines for art. My friend and I were going through magazines and started to notice the rediculous amount of ads for watches. So she tore out a whole bunch of them, handed them to me and told me to make something.

So ever since then there's been a collage of watches dispersing out of one corner of my room.

It's not about anything, but it's pretty cool.

Just buy new clothes. Seriously.

[Ghostfire3]

I hate to discourage DIY, but I agree with Kevin.

Buy a pair of jeans or whatever you're looking for. Anything you buy is going to be of way better quality than anything you could make. It's worth the money. And if you really don't want to spend that much or you don't have that much money then just go to Salvation Army or something.

[All_O_Gistics]

Yeah..I'm gonna head down to the Goodwill one of these days to see if they have anything decent.

The thing is, though, that after two and a half years, my tastes in clothing have changed to things I really can't find around here.

Yeah..I'm gonna head down to the Goodwill one of these days to see if they have anything decent.

The thing is, though, that after two and a half years, my tastes in clothing have changed to things I really can't find around here. I've been desperate enough to look at some stuff in Hot Topic(no...just no..) . Not only is their stuff crap, but it's expensive crap. I figure that I can make something that appeals to my taste rather than search aimlessly...

Just go to Hot Topic, you'd pay aroudn the same price buying from Interpunk ro something and they have some sweet stuff there, liekt he Marvel Hoodies and some tees.

how do you make skinny jeans from regular ones. i need sewing tips

If you can't figure out how to make skinny jeans, then you probably can't sew well enough to keep them from falling apart.

[The Ska Man]

The thing is that I don't like the stuff they have there, unless I suddenly find some nice drainpipes for cheap..(I hate hoodies, and band tee's are A. unsupporting of the artist, and B. A lot cheaper when you make them =P). And, I've never paid that much for clothes, and don't intend to now.

[plebeian scum]

how do you make skinny jeans from regular ones. i need sewing tips
Turn them inside out, put them on, pull them as tight as you want and put some pins in. Take them off and run a sewing machine down the line you created. Turn them so they're not inside out and put them on, seeing if they work. If so turn them inside out and run a few more lines of thread down the new seam to reinforce it, and cut off the excess. If not pull out the thread and try it again til you get it right.

I discovered Ragstock maybe a year ago, and now I get new clothes almost exclusively from there. 6$ jeans, flannel shirts for <3$, and most everything else for well under 10. (I get a discount, but it's still cheap at regular price.) I got this old Woolrich jacket for 10 at the beginning of the schoolyear, and I've worn it daily since then.

[insaneflyingmonkey]

Value Villages and thrift stores are where most of my clothes (excluding socks, undies and band tshirts that I buy at shows) come from... I haven't bought a pair of pants anywhere else in the last couple years.

DIY Tip That Some of You Probably Already Know:

If you have a sore throat then get a cup and fill it with warm water and mix in some salt. Then get a mouthfull of it and gargle and spit it out. Do this about 3 times. Makes your throat feel sooo much better.

[Twin Human Highway Flares]

I've heard that for canker sores as well.

I just put salt directly onto my canker sore.

It burns. A lot. But it works for me.

But I don't know his t-shirt size, so I thought, hey, back-patch.

I'll make him a back-patch he can stick on a shirt or jacket or what-have-you.

Now my question to you would be --

What would be the best way to do this with insanely limited resources [read: with every day household items beacuse I've no cash to buy anything more with nor will I be able to drive up to Tucson any time soon to buy said "more"]?

And I mean seriously, like. Beyond sharpie =/

His t-shirt size probably wouldn't be too hard to figure out. if he's average weight and is like, 5'3-5'7, he's probably a medium, any taller probably large, and if he's chubby add a size. Or hell, next time you're making out with him take his shirt off and look at the size.

As for the back patch, a sharpie would probably work. I've never tried it, but those silver sharpies might work on dark fabric too. Either way, just buy a $2 shirt from your local thrift store, cut it, and go nuts.

[DaveToopes]

ITT: Dumb Jon.

Never seen him in a baggy shirt, but his shirts always come down all the way. Confuses me, it does.

But thanks mans, thanks.

well tbh they're all huge influences on me, so that's what I go by. If you don't like them then that's cool by you, but you can't say that they aren't/weren't punk :)

I'm 5'11 and wear small or medium shirts.

Medium does it pretty well actually, a bit baggy because I'm a stick.

Just check his shirt tag next time he's asleep?

[mullets suk]

Or hell, next time you're making out with him take his shirt off and look at the size.

^^^
this part. if you go by his size then he may like shirts to large for him or to small. (ie im skinny and easily wear mediums, but there uncomfotable so i wear XL)

[smokersdieyounger]

I'm very skinny and mediums are too loose for my liking, I wear smalls, or kids age 12-13. But age sizes are different for each brnd n ****.

Also, what bleach would be suitable for making designs on T-Shirts or Jeans? Not for tye dying, just rough painting.

[plebeian scum]

Somebody source me lots of free acetate please.
one time I lifted a ton a laminate sheets from a Kinkos or something. They had big stacks sitting by the machine. Big sheets too - like 16x24 inches or something.

It's thinner than acetate though. Wasn't so great for the streets, but worked well for indoor stuff.

[coheneran]

Wicked, I'll check the only Kinko's in this country. Thanks.

[DaveToopes]

What the hell is acetate?

[plebeian scum]

What the hell is acetate?
it's the kind of plastic sheets you use with overhead projectors.

[DaveToopes]

Oh. What do you want acetate for, Eran?

[coheneran]

It's much better for stencilling than anything else. It's basically plastic, but it's almost paper thin, and firm like cardboard. Plus, it's see-through so when you're doing multi-layer stuff, you can line it up perfectly. Also, it rolls up without breaking. You can get it in huge sheets, but I don't know where.

[DaveToopes]

Plastic comes from oil. stop raping mother earth!

So I'm going to continue with the stupid questions, if that's cool with everybody.

Picked up a couple silver sharpies at the Staples today, going to figure out just what I'm going to do for this [besides write "Leftover Crack" in their signature font, of course].

Stupid question being: The sharpie will eventually fade/wash off, correct? Is there any way to slow/stop the process, lock the color in longer, or is it just a its-going-to-fade-no-matter-what-deal-with-it thing?

I've used black sharpie that's lasted a long time, but I have no experience with silver.

Try doing a couple layers, let it dry about 48 hours, wash it, and repeat. If it starts to take hold then keep going. If not then I don't know.

[coheneran]

Once it's dried, iron it. Don't use steam or water, just dry iron.

Patriotism and nationalism are both stupid, but nationalism just a little bit more. If someone loves one country significantly more than another, it's because she hasn't seen any other countries properly, and/or she's nostalgic about her country because she grew up in it. A country's just a piece of land, and every piece of land is equally beautiful.

EDIT: Unless America's got there, then it's just McDonalds surrounded by destroyed houses and burning bodies.

Nice one. But mind the "v" in Leftover, the top connecting line's a bit thicker than it should be, it's looking a bit like a "b".

I thought you were too anarcho to be Jewish.

I was talking about Jonni.

It is impossible to say something is beautiful without it being subjective. It is very difficult to argue that a wet, muddy backyard in a small backyard is even close to the grandeur that is the western American landscape, or even the densely wooded forest just a mile or two away from that backyard.

My biggest objection to what you said is saying that all land is equally beautiful. This just isn't true. Beauty is, of course, in the eye of the beholder, but that doesn't mean that my dumpy town is as pretty as a beach or something.

If you want I could say that objectively, all nature is ugly. But that's not as nice as saying it's all objectively beautiful.

Alternatively, we could settle for, "Objectively, all nature is." and leave it at that.:p

All this subjective objectivity is making me nauseous.

What did she study in Denmark?

[Twin Human Highway Flares]

I don't think she studied anything in particular. Come to think of it, I've never heard her talk about going to school there. Just stories about how the Danes were crazy into American songs she was incredibly sick of and would make Danish versions of them.

Alright, so. Patch thing = almost done. Still can't decide what to draw on the label of the 40 oz [that Leftover Crack thing was only 1/2 of it].

But because I can never do just one project at a time [I usually have like. 5. To swtich between when I'm tired of working on one], I've got a whole new realm of stupid questions.

I used dr. bronner shampoo when I had dreads, it's great, all natural and fair traded. I didn't use wax and my dreads looked good for like 5 days (maybe my friend and I did it wrong?) and then I took them out and cut my long hair. I'm not trying to discourage you, but back comb very tightly! And maybe try wax?

I know, Baby. I just wanted to know if I needed to do anything special when washing new dreads. The site you gave me doesn't say much about washing them when they're new.

And to Rob, I will definatly use wax and comb back tightly. Thanks for le tips.

My hair's only about four inches long, so It'll be a few months before I try these out. That should give me enough time to decide if I truly want them or not.

I was thinking more along the lines of..."It really sucks because your birthday is the same day as a holiday, so everybody celebrates that holiday instead of your birthday, so I, being the awesome person I am, am going to focus soley on your birthday 'cause I know how much it sucks having it lumped in with something else."

My birthday is 6 days before Christmas.

While it's not the same day, people still feel the need to lump them together.

Except my mom. She won't put up the decorations until after my birthday.

My birthday is in July right after summer starts and I love that.

Hang up one of those tacky "Happy Xth Birthday" banners over your bed, and give him a really long blow job (the kind where he has to tell you if he's coming so that you can stop and wait for a bit, and then start again to drag it out).

Hahahahahahahahaha, genious.

Except we havn't been together that long.

Will have to keep that in mind though =P

Oh you dirty dirty girl.

Okay anyway lets change the subject before you press charges.

OK. I can't think of anything else to give to him that'd be quite as funny or dirty, so I'll just hold out 'til April 1st when you tell him you're pregnant/tested positive for chlamydia/scared of semen.

Delete where necessary.

Also genious.
