I Can't Sleep

[Theraflu 1,035]

I enjoy Sailor Jerry rum. It has just a hint of cherry flavor. I am not really a fan of cherry flavor in alcoholic beverages, or any beverage for that fact, but it works for Sailor Jerry. It's also a higher proof than most spiced rums, 92 I believe.

My old trivia bar has a 16 oz $4.99 sailor jerry/coke special every day. Two of them and a $1 pizza is a delightful evening.

Well you sure didn't lose your fighting spirit yet! Though I think you know that I won't **** off anyway

Okay for the first time in months I can actually not sleep thanks to the 1001 farmers partying their asses off on hobo-music down my street.. which actually made me youtube "Hobo Music" and: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WihZnqwP0fM.. I think these guys have almost as little of a life as me.

Scram, I think you mentioned you were a wood worker. Well, I had an idea come to me the other night when stoned, and as I sobered up, it still seemed like a good idea. You know those dime store Wooden Cigar holding Injuns they used to have back in the day? Well, I want to carve one, in that old timey style, but instead of it being an injun holding a box of cigars, it's a Red dot indian holding a bowl of curry. Where should i begin to learn the wood working skills to pull off this project?

Everytime I drive by a garage sale I think of this thread. I drove by one today with a nasty looking couch as the main centerpiece. Ive seen nicer couches ready for the garbage.

I asked you about some old radio equipment in a new property. Update: No equipment, just random old stuff, wiring through the house, generators out back, and a couple of antenna on the roof. No trips to antiques roadshow for me I guess.

That project is more artistic than 'woodworking' in the expected sense of the word. You would need to be an artist to do that. Also, it would be very hard to caricature dothead Indians in wood so it didn't just come off looking like a Mexican who'd been shot in the nogginStart with a Foredom or a Dremel with a flex shaft and start carving shit. There are talented people who make ridiculously amazing stuff with those. Back when the old wood club was still going, there was a man there who used a Foredom to make little wooden birds and animals, then paint them. They were totally lifelike. If you saw one sitting on the ground, you would think it was a real animal. That takes a kind of talent that cannot be learned.I wish the old wood group was still going. It's fun listening to 85 year old men telling stories about women they ****ed overseas in World War II- while sanding a tabletop, drinking scotch and smoking. They had a standing offer to make whatever anyone in the community wanted if they would buy the wood. Some northside 'designer' got wind of them and constantly brought in projects for custom furniture pieces, etc. At first, they did them all to perfect spec, figuring that he'd be graceful and flip the club a few bucks for operating expenses, etc (machines, saw blades, etc don't grow on trees)- basically, donating the immense value of their time and talent, which was worth a helluva lot more than the cost of the wood, to help fund the club... The 'custom projects' kept coming, he never donated a dime and was really abusing the good faith sentiment. They eventually told him to **** off. He didn't understand why, then offered them payment to complete his project since he was on deadline. They refused. He then offered a SIGNIFICANT payment to complete this one project- they still refused. It was great, to hear that little ****** beg and them tell him no.But yes, I'm a woodworker, own lots of overpriced specialty tools that I can barely use properly, but still very much a hobbyist. I've seen enough master woodworkers that I'm hesitant to even call myself a 'woodworker' in the same breath as those guys. I am really good at refinishing wood furniture, though.

If I were to ever take over the world, my first order of business would be draft legislation addressing assholes who leave up undated garage sale signs, directing people to a garage sale that doesn't exist.The penalties would be as follows.First Offense: One year prison, lifetime prohibition on ever holding a garage sale again. Second Offense: Ten years prison, daily electroshock therapy, amputation of handsThird Offense: Offender and all immediate family put to death via the Chamber of Poisonous Snakes (a new form of death penalty that would exist in my world) Great day, though. Got a nearly new wooden machinists tool chest for $50 (this was a purchase for personal use, not resale), pair of Sony headphones for $3.And now, it's Learn About Scram time...Have I ever told anyone that in addition to having a retarded vintage NES collection, I also collect vintage LED/VFD/LCD handheld and tabletop games?Here's a picture of a portion of my collection (Mostly the tabletops- I have the original boxes for most of these, plus about another hundred or so vintage handhelds). I display these in my living room so any company I might have over will get distracted by them and I don't have to make conversation.I actually started gathering them up at my garage sale and flea market hunts for pocket change, but they've dried up considerably 'in the wild' in recent years, so now, I'm stuck finishing out the collection on ebay. I'm happy with the prices I'm paying today, though. I think they might be worth a bit more in the future. If anyone has any question about these games, their repair or the gameplay, feel free to ask. If you played it as a kid and are over 30, chances are, I have it. My favorites are the electro-mechanical games by Tomy from the late 70's. The only phone I have is Googles new free computer phone thing. All you need is a microphone and a Google voice account. You get a free phone number and everything. GG, Skype. My favorite two movies of all time are Boogie Nights and the original Failsafe. When I sit cross-legged on the floor, my gut almost touches the ground- and I smoke 2 packs a day. If you think you work hard, just be thankful you aren't my heart muscle.

Nice tablas.

[AmScray 355]

I haven't decided if I should take the price tag off the dayan. Adds a touch of authenticity- like, if I ever find myself pitted in a battle of who has the most hardcore set, my nickle plated brass, handpicked professional grade set with the broken strap and price tag in Rupees lugged on an airplane from the subcontinent would be a strong contender- lets see anyone beat THAT with their horseshit Aluminum set they got from Amazon or Guitar Center- but it seems poser'ish to leave it there. My bayan also needs reheading, and I still tune them with a small ball peen hammer rather than a special 'tabla hammer'. To purists, this is just SOOOOOOOOOOOO 'American' of me... so, I will decoupage a small cutout picture of John Wayne onto the handle of my dedicated Tabla tuning ball-peen hammer, just to accentuate this dynamic.

Do you have a black flat rectangular game that had maybe orange or red buttons that was a space invaders rip off?
