[Zé Ferreira]

Oooh, I like this idea.

But could quickly devolve into

 

[Betelgeuse]

What I got today while I was eating:

Had to try them!

Spoiler

 

[Pauly Chase]

Odyn Vovk denim vest with kangaroo leather hood.

 

[Lady Canuker]

Fabric to make a quilt

 

[Rambo]

What in the holy hell IS that?

 

[Rambo]

A new card case. Wanted something different so I sold my old one.

oooh, what did you get? i'm a card case guy as well.

oh wait, its THAT fucking thing? hooooh boy...

 

[Pauly Chase]

4 pounds of beef tripe and 3 pounds of beef cheek meat.

 

[Pauly Chase]

6 gallons here. The price has fallen a bit in this past week.

 

[Pauly Chase]

Drama Drama.

 

[Pauly Chase]

New pair of vans.

I have been digging Vans lately, in particular the black no lace slip ons. I prefer Vans over Converse.

 

[Rambo]

oooooh

 

[Chorn]

Those are very nice; is the price being offset by your tie purge?

Mauro: You don't like dress shoes much? With the right size and last, they can be like wearing nothing.

 

[Betelgeuse]

jrd, very nice items!

 

[Betelgeuse]

Betelgeuse, tell me about the Predator helmet in your profile pic.

It's very cool? It's not mine, I found a Facebook page of some guys that are making these helmets, let me search for the link and I'll pass it to you.

Don't pay attention the the message, I think the pic looks cool.

 

[Rambo]

Mauro - have you tried custom orthotics? Lonestar has a similar problem as well and I believe they've helped him.

 

[Pauly Chase]

They look comfy. Looking at them remind me how much I love my Grenson for Paul Stuart black pebbled leather ankle boots. I can walk in them all day.

 

[Pauly Chase]

Damn you are on a kopping streak.

 

[Rambo]

jrd which CJ last did you end up in? and what size?

 

[Pauly Chase]

Arrived today, buttery soft. Also a pair of Shure headphones.

 

[Chorn]

Got narrow thighs. Sadly, the pants that fit me best RTW are Banana Republic (and to be honest, I've had no issues with their trousers) followed by Faconnable. I do need a few more pairs of trousers, but I want to wait to see what Mauro is going to bring to the table pretty soon. Really want to get some WvG stuff.

I do need some HY trousers, so they'll be a second priority behind WvG

 

[Betelgeuse]

A preview :fap-38: of what would be arriving in a few weeks

This is the one that I'm waiting for, still no news of it...

 

[Rambo]

Have you tried blending an iPhone?

 

[Rambo]

I liked the Blendtec but I ended up liking the Vitamix a bit more.

 

[Rambo]

I no longer own one but I used it for smoothies. I found the Vitamix to just blend better (especially with ice), be a bit easier to clean, be sturdier, and have a better warranty. Blendtec also has a lot of problems with the digital display going bad. I bought them both from Costco, with the assorted bonuses. They're also frequently available refurbished. Check SlickDeals for deal info.

 

[Zé Ferreira]

My wife has been dropping hints about a Vitamix.... hrm.... :thinking-23:

 

[Allez Allez]

Ordered a black Chipp2 grenadine tie today based on the review on Put This On. I will be interested to see how it stacks up against Drakes and Hober. Can't beat the price.

 

[Allez Allez]

I asked for a swatch of the wine and the purple. Ordering through his website involved this bullshit process of buying some stupid dog tie and sticking in a comment in the order that you wanted a grenadine tie instead. What the fuck is that about?

 

[Rambo]

That definitely sounds on the level....

 

[Allez Allez]

Who the fuck buys dog ties anyway? It's totally nuts.

 

[Pauly Chase]

The dots are confusing my eyes.

 

[Pauly Chase]

Kopped this for this month.

 

[Betelgeuse]

Nice kop, Pauly Chase! What is Hyper FX?

 

[Pauly Chase]

It's just a pre-workout drink. It was a stack deal on bodybuilding.com. I usually just take caffeine pills, but decided to switched it up.

 

[Allez Allez]

Black grenadine Chipp2 arrived today. (A striped Drakes above it for comparison.)

The weave is tighter on the Chipp2. The fabric also feels a bit stiffer or rougher than the Drakes. Otherwise, the same width. I'll give it a go tomorrow.

 

[Rambo]

Interesting. Let us know what your dog thinks.

 

[Betelgeuse]

It's just a pre-workout drink. It was a stack deal on bodybuilding.com. I usually just take caffeine pills, but decided to switched it up.

Nice! I haven't had a preworkout a long time ago. I was using the one from also BSN... don't remember the name, that has NO and I was taking the Nitrix pills... cool sensation.

 

[Allez Allez]

Lonestar: he sent me swatches for all the grenadines and wool ties. PM if you want them and I will drop them in the mail.

 

[Allez Allez]

I agree; the colors look nice too. But I want to wear the one I got a few times to see how it holds up before I get any more.

I didn't know that about grenadine fabric all coming from the same mills. Interesting.
