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.

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.

That looks pretty sick. Much better than I could ever do. :thumb:

Hahaha, thanks =D

Tomorrow I'll probably do a 40 oz. with the appropriate words, sew it all onto a grand-master-patch and call it a day.

Oh, and iron it, as was suggested.

Then make sure it all stays on there.

Then wrap it.

Then wait 'til his birthday [which happens to be V-day, so I've got time].

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".

[QUOTE=Crack-Rock-Steady;14047718]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.[/QUOTE]

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 [I]is[/I]." and leave it at that.:p

All this subjective objectivity is making me nauseous.

Haha I always hated that script, my name being Eva and all. The honor roll in various schools I used to go to used it, so it really looked like Eba to me.

But I'll try and see what I an do, thanks ^-^

My mom did that when she was an exchange student in Denmark. She'd just get on a train, go to sleep, wake up and be like, "Hey, I'm in Belgium. I'll hang out here for a while." It always sounded like fun to me.

Exactly it should be pretty fun..
What did she study in Denmark?

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.

Anyone know how i can make one of those thing that hold ur harmonica so u can play harmonica and guitar at the same time. like in this vid [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-bpcsFe-vs[/url]

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.

If anything, they keep people on topic. To a point.

So. Dye. Well, not dye...not like, hippie-dippy art-faggy tie-dye crap. More like...paint. For clothes.

Kinds, sources, prices, techniques? Anyone?

I would probably construct something with bones from the finest chicken dinners.

whats the name of the tread again??

i lost my capo for my guitar, so i'm thinking of making one.

What are some ways to make dreadlocks?

I found this site about two minutes after I made my post.

Do you know anything about washing dreads before they lock into place? I've heard that it's neccessary to put them in a big sock and wash them with it on.

My friend got dreads in June and they look ****ing awesome now.

[QUOTE=Skrunnch;14083329]My friend got dreads in June and they look ****ing awesome now.[/QUOTE]

Ask your friend how she/he washed them when they were new.

You just wash it with water and dread soap.

Sweet. Thank you Eric.

The site I posted says that too!

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?

[QUOTE=Henrik;14087805]The site I posted says that too![/QUOTE]

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.

[QUOTE=Sunshine;14022372]I think he gets custom fitted shirts or summat, 'cause the boy's 6 feet tall but skinny as all getout.

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

But thanks mans, thanks.[/QUOTE]

If you think you can pull it off go for it. I thought my friend was going to look bad and he did for the first few months but now it really does look great.

[QUOTE=Converge#12;14090010]I'm 6'1" and wear smalls...[/QUOTE]

So are guys shirts just extra long or something?

Seriously.

I don't understand at all.

'Cause as far as chick shirts go, there are some of the larger variety that I can wear like a minidress.

But it sounds like you guys don't have quite the same problem.

They make tall tees and stuff.....

I just mean like.

Standard t-shirts.

Like.

Band t-shirts and crap.

I dunno i wear smalls and mediums and they fit fine depending on the brand they print on I have to get mediums so the sleeves arent too short.

I'm about 5"10 ish, I wear large tees but mediums fit too just the sleeves don't go as far down my arms as I'd like.

Mmm.

Ah well.

I'm almost done with that backpatch...he's lookin' for a plain hoodie right now anyway, it'd be perfect for his back.

I'm going to give it a month or so if I do. Everytime I get a haircut or change the style, it looks aweful for a few weeks.

Youre just not used to seeing yourself that way is all.

I know, that's why I'll give it a month to get used to looking at myself in mirrior.

Any ideas what I should make my girlfriend for Valentines Day? I know it's a few weeks away but I want time to plan.

Really? It takes a month?

Every single one of my haircuts I've loved INSTANTLY.

As have everybody else I know.

'Cept the hawk. I loved it at first, most of the others did, but a lot of people were a little...O.o
