[QUOTE=coheneran]When they're raw they taste like the smell of cat's piss. Some taste worse than others, but they also have a really nutty tasty backdrop, not enough to overpower the catpiss taste though. If you boil them in milk, a glass or two will have the same effects but taste nice, sweet and nutty.[/QUOTE]
Hmm, neat. Thanks, I've been wondering about this all week.

Thaaaank you. That was really bugging me.

Unless you or your family have a history of ill mental health, I recommend shrooms. It's fun, spiritual and enlightening.

RudeBoyStompin 02-20-2006 11:48 AM

There's a few things I'd like to try, namely weed, acid, salvia, DMT, but I fear getting caught by my parents. I can't even imagine how bad that would be.

Salvia lasts for about five minutes, so if you cover up the smell with incence or deodorant you could get away with it easy. The rest you need them out of the house (except you could smoke weed or take acid with your friends when you're off camping or in a wood for the day).

I just made another free-hand of my left hand pointing like a gun with the words "Back 2 Sleep". It doesn't look that good yet, but I just have to work on the lettering. I have to go to a squat meeting now, but I'll post pics later.
Ciao.

RudeBoyStompin 02-20-2006 12:09 PM

Yeah salvia and DMT I could get away with easy. The others would be a bit harder.

Well, on my mom's side there's a slight history of mental illness, but nothing major.

Still, I don't see myself doing drugs anytime soon.

Even when I'm at Bonnaroo this summer, it's not going to happen. I know someone who OD'd at a bonnaroo, so my parents would be pissed more than any pissed I've ever known if I got caught. Plus I like being in a sober state when viewing concerts.

Liebensaft 02-20-2006 12:49 PM

I'd try salvia, shrooms, and maybe acid. I smoke weed and drink pretty regularly.

Salvia sounds crazy and as far as I know, it's legal since you can get it online. 'Shrooms I can get from a lot of people around here. That and acid I'd only do in a controlled enviornment, like a friend's house or something, where there's zero risk of getting caught.

DaveToopes 02-20-2006 01:01 PM

There's never ZERO risk of getting caught.

Liebensaft 02-20-2006 01:10 PM

I suppose, but if you eat 'shrooms in your friend's basement and hang out there for the whole trip while his folks are out of town, that's about as close to zero risk as it gets.

AIRIC 02-20-2006 01:15 PM

Take them when your parents go to bed, you'll be done tripping by morning.

Scabies 02-20-2006 02:20 PM

I'm organising a DIY hardcore punk show in the basement of this really posh wine bar in my town. This place is gonna get destroyed.

DaveToopes 02-20-2006 02:24 PM

Haha, sounds awesome.

Awesome stuff, the paint is really clear and well defined on all of those.

Brain Toad 02-20-2006 06:11 PM

Those are really well done Aaron.

Thanks Ethan and Nick.

RudeBoyStompin 02-20-2006 06:51 PM

I did the exact same Specials one only white on black.

iam2000pounds 02-20-2006 10:51 PM

I'm doing that Specials one pretty soon.

_AnarchistArmy_ 02-21-2006 03:08 AM

Among the shirts, i'll go with Operation Ivy.
Among the patches, i'll go with Unseen.

But The Business patch is quite nice too...

Keep Up the Good Work!

Does anyone know a cheap/DIY way of dieing your hair bleach blonde?. Or in my case the middle..mohawk. It's ginger right now cos I ****ed it up.

[QUOTE=yourstruly]Does anyone know a cheap/DIY way of dieing your hair bleach blonde?. Or in my case the middle..mohawk. It's ginger right now cos I ****ed it up.[/QUOTE]

The cheapest way I can think of is stealing the bleach, or getting it done at a hairdresser's and then running away before you pay/threaten the hairdresser. I don't see why you need bleach, ginger is cool. Just ask Nick.

AIRIC 02-21-2006 10:24 AM

Why would you even recommend that?

Led-ZeppelinIV 02-21-2006 03:16 PM

There will be drugs++ when I move out.

coheneran 02-21-2006 04:03 PM

[QUOTE=Skrunnch]Why would you even recommend that?[/QUOTE]

I didn't recommend it, I was just saying that it's the cheapest way I could think of.

So, I made the Free Palestine shirt today. It's the most horrendous flop I'll ever have the disprivilege of making. I am hoping it will look better when it's sprayed.

mullets suk 02-21-2006 06:11 PM

is there a diffrence between painting on real leather and the fake stuff, im tryin my first DIY thing so im tryin blitzkrieg bop on a wallet of mine. its the easyest thing i can think of. also i cant remember wot paint to use, i think it was acrylic and something else but i cant remeber it if there were any other parts. thanks

DaveToopes 02-21-2006 06:15 PM

[QUOTE=Led-ZeppelinIV]There will be drugs++ when I move out.[/QUOTE]

Wait, is this the DIY thread?

That was irrelivant, talk about drugs in the community thread.

That took me thirty seconds to fix.

Now, what you are looking for is to mix that acrylic paint with bleach, ie. 3 spoonfuls of bleach and 1 spoonful of acrylic paint. Says my screen-printing friend, I don't do leather. Or wear it.

Sorry, there was some talk of drugs earlier.

Here's the bikes so far that I'm using for my tall bike:

The Schwinn Frame, and the really sh[I]i[/I]tty banana seat bike:

Look at that poor seat :( :

The bike I just garbage picked today (it was being junked by a bicycle repair shop) :

I also took pictures of all the rest of the bikes in my household, but they have little to do with DIY (although a few were garbage picked and many self-repaired) so I wont post pictures of my nice collection.

who wants to help me put together a makeshift stand up bass???

i have 1/2 keg i really want to use to be the body... but that’s all i got.

i'm stumped on what i should use for a neck?
on how i should put the neck into the keg- though the Tap hole(after i knock it out)? or just on top?
what kind of strings- i think some heavy cords or weed whacker cords will do.

should i get some holes in my keg for sound?

i can't find anything on the net for this stuff. thanks in advance

edit: i think i will go with a board though the handles, and put up my neck that way

RIP Ian Curtis 02-23-2006 10:22 AM

Not sure man, I just bought my stand-up. Cost me a thousand bucks, but I work for the man (bank) so it's no problem for me. Rich punx unite.

My family own's a stand up. It cost us about 100-200 dollars. One day a friend of ours looked on his front porch, and there was this upright bass just... there. He lives in a really tiny house, so he couldn't keep it there, so he dropped it off at our house, and soon after said we could have it. It was pretty damaged (back falling off, new bridge needed...) so we got it repaired.

It's a pretty kickass thing to just find.

Whoah, that thing is the sex. I've got a black + white one. And I intend to get it pinstriped by a friend of a friend. Definatly gonna get her name written onto her (she's called Faye, after my ex fiance)

are you actually serious ??

the only way i see this working is if you have very stong knowledge off accoustics and can build things really well. if you have then fair play but if not i hope your not making it seriously.

to asdf thats sweet

RIP Ian Curtis 02-23-2006 11:41 AM

If I were you, I'd make it like a gut-bass. Have a flexible pole in the keg-hole, big gauge wire tied onto one of the carry-handles. Pluck that mother and bend the pole for your notes. Redneck credability to the max. Ted Nugent will be shootin' down your door in no time.

have you tried to make one?? didn't think so. its called trial an error, if it works, it will be sweet, if it doesn't ,then i guess i'm an idiot for trying

asdf 02-23-2006 01:11 PM

Good luck, but I don't see it working.

nitzguy 02-23-2006 02:16 PM

should i not use the keg?
i've seen basses out of gas tanks and whatnot.

sam-a-lam 02-23-2006 02:17 PM
