It happened a week after they opened, and it was in the middle of winter. Guy with a note, who took off running when he got the money. The cops followed his foot prints in the snow to a house around the corner. People are dumb. That's classic Looney Tunes kinda funny right there lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Butcha Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Morning guys. My morning bike commute to work is going to get a little more interesting today. Just flipped my wheel over to fixie. let's hope I don't eat shit this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas³ Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 What's the fixie do, compared to a normal bike? I know the chain is not free when you peddle backwards, but what is the advantages of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the only way to slow down is to slow my legs down. Really makes you feel one with the bike and the road. But still a little scary haha. We shall see how this goes.

Just need to retrain my brain to go slower down the massive hills here and use my brake a lot more. I don't know how my roommate rides without brakes. He's fucking crazy though.

All I can think is with all that extra leg work standing after a long ride will take some time to get used to since any rest period is eliminated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how my roommate rides without brakes. He's fucking crazy though. I'm sure it's not easy, but using back force would slow you down right? A lot of BMXers don't use brakes, but they don't usually ride around like you guys do. 1 minute ago, GreatGreenOne77 said: All I can think is with all that extra leg work standing after a long ride will take some time to get used to since any rest period is eliminated Yeah, it's feel weird for your legs to be still after constantly moving. It's like jumping a trampoline for a while, then standing on the ground (or more fun trying to jump pn solid ground). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas³ Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I don't understand why there are so many shootings and murders in a town my size. The last 2 weeks there have been 2 killings at 2 vigils for prior shooting victims. It's insane. There is a shooting or murder pretty much everyday. There are only 200k in this town, there should not be that many killings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Hey. I know some of you guys are fans of and have ordered from Broken World Media. Any idea how long it takes them to ship out something that's already released and on hand? So not a pre-order. I ordered two 7"s almost two weeks ago and haven't heard anything.

They're dealing with a bunch of preorders shipping right now. It's not unheard of for them to to take a minute to ship things. With Derrick and TWIABP on tour I think they just have one guy running it. Been ordering from them since before they were officially BWM. Once had a pre-order slip through the cracks and they made it right fairly quickly. Received an order missing an item twice and they fixed it quickly as well. Not sure their current customer service email address, but check their store for it and hit them up. I back them 100%. I'd also recommend picking up their grab bag bundles. I've gotten $20 2xLPs for $5 that way. Edited July 19, 2016 by Bladewillisisdead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Thanks a bunch for the info! I had forgotten that Derrick does head out on the road often. No worries. I'm patient...was just curious since it's my first order ever. It's the two Boy On Guitar 7"s. So hooked on that band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas³ Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Damn Ghost, that is insane to go that long without sleep. I've had weeks where I got like 48 hours without sleep, then only get an hour or two the next few nights, and they kill me. I don't know how it's possible to go that long without.

Thomas³ Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) I don't mind spiders, except when they are in my bed. A little wolf spider just ran across my bed, and when I went to crush him, I lost him. Now I'm no longer tired and searching for it. It's really bothering me. It must be the fucker that bit my arm up the other night. He shall die, if he shows himself again. Edited July 20, 2016 by Thomas³ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't use the bathroom in one of my apartments for a week and a half because I saw a wolf spider. My clothes were in the dryer (which was in the bathroom) and my one roommate complained and I was like "You can throw them on the floor in the kitchen or set them on fire. I don't care. That fucker was in between the washer and dryer. Enjoy being murdered by it." If a spider is bigger than a quarter I have a panic attack. This thing was bigger than my fist.

Thomas³ Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I usually just leave them be, unless they are in my room. Fucker probably got a free pass before and came up here. Still can't find him. Guess I'll try to ignore it and sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladewillisisdead Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 So after basically managing my department for a year and literally managing it for the last two months, the company has left me hanging about the position for the last two weeks after finally officially interviewing me for it. Our sales are up over 100%. Everyone in the department and every manager NOT involved in actually giving me the position agrees it would be insane not to give me the job. They've got one more week before I stop doing the job they won't give me and go back to just doing the job they pay me to do. They don't seem to understand the amount of shit that gets done only because I say "Hey, can you do [x]? For me. Please." It sounds like egotistical bullshit, but my coworkers will do shit specifically for me. Like, our old supervisor saying "Do this or I'll write you up" was 100x less effective than me saying "Hey, do me a favor..." I'm an abrasive dick who responds hostily to authority, but I give a shit about my department and my coworkers. I'm also perfect for managing a crew of 21 year olds who dont give a shit about their job because I'll always be a 21 year old who doesn't give a shit.

My girlfriend is just like "Yeah, I know. You should have demanded the position months and months ago" If you got the hookup on HT codes, I would be very appreciative.

I'm unpacking my room again so when I find the box I stuck them in I'll shoot you a PM. We're moving and got the carpets replaced today so I had to move everything.
