Yeah I know there were some rant threads over the years grinds my gears and whatever. I don't think any of them were that happening to dig up. I probably made one of them honestly. Whatever.

I figured if we could rant somewhere we'd be more docile creatures in the rest of the forums.

BenWhitI am very interested in the Nordica Ace 3 Star. I'm taller and bigger, so I require a stiffer flex. I have a normal to slightly wider foot, so the last is perfect. the features are unreal. I had tried a pair on at the end of last season and absolutely loved them.


What size? I have a pair of Ace of Spades I could get to you around the middle of January

The referenced post has been removed.


Motherfuckers act like they forgot about Trey. A spin off of forgot bout dre for Phish. Also Trey played with the dead for 3 shows in Chicago and it was a perfect time to launch it.

Like I said probably means nothing, but it was extremely popular at shows and festivals this summer.

I'm going to force myself to send them all out today or tomorrow. Just so stressed and don't even want to deal with it.

I could probably just do stuff in the future and have friends sell them and split the profits. That would probably work. then I don't have to do anything but make them and they'll get out to the people, and people can't bitch at me.

Found out that my favorite ginger lifty passed away this fall and that's the reason he's not back for the season. Fucking sucks. Weird how you start to care for a person even though you only have brief interactions. Timmy was really good at his job and always made me feel like he really cared about me every time he bumped a chair or warned me about the wind or fog. Shred in peace. You will be missed.

People who just leave shopping carts all over the lot when there are plenty of corrals for them close by, sometimes right even next to where they dumped the cart.


Once again people who drive in bad weather without headlights. If somebody hits you while they're driving drink they're fucked, they should be for shit like no headlights. There was a big truck cruising through town with no headlights in rain and heavy fog earlier. I love people like that.

It's great to know that there are accidents where people get fucked up, maybe even die, because some asshole was too lazy, or more likely too stupid to through their headlights on.

Fuck shitty drivers.

Learn what a turn signal is. Learn what your headlights do. Learn how to read a speedometer. Learn to merge. Learn how to stay in a lane.

That will never happen though. As long as you aren't speeding you'll never have any problems with anything else, which means stupid people are free to stay on the roads, unhindered as long as they keep it within 10mph of the speed limit.

I'm going to get my bindings set tomorrow. Kind of got dicked around by another shop and I'm going to see if there's something actually wrong with them or if they were just mounted incorrectly by the shop. While that's getting taken care of I'm going to hike my home hill since they probably wont run lifts tomorrow, but the shop is right in town. So while I'm there might as well go get a little lap or two in right?! My sister also works at the Brewery so maybe I can head up there and chill with her and see what its all about!!

ALSO, tomorrow I'm going to go to a local YMCA and see if they have any volunteering opportunities. I'm trying to get a job at Windells, and already kind of have a hook up, but I still want to get some solid experience with kids so that I'm not just throwing myself into something I can't handle. I'm also home for winter break and getting a job is not feasible right now, so instead of sitting on my ass all day, I'm gonna go play some sports with some kids. Sounds good right? I hope it all works out.

Anddddd then I'll probably hit some rails in my backyard. Totally thought my home hill would have them set up today but nah. I've never hit my set up in the winter, only in the summer and the speed is usually just right. It's probably going to be soo fast. I already know I'm gonna slip out a ton cause I hate fast haha. Oh well, I'll get used to it after like 15 bails lmao. Tomorrow is going to be more productive than my winter break pretty much.

A cute apron is my go to last min gift for my wife. It has kind of become a tradition now. I can't hide anything in my house, so I wait until a few days before Christmas and buy her a apron and have the lady at the store box it for me. Here is the one I got her this year

What did you do? Have a klan rally for the new neighbors that just moved in? And this teacher acting "shocked" that someone was racist when the whole point of the assignment was to describe the time when you were a bit crass is pretty silly.

I get where they are coming from but this seems like a lame-ass professor trying to make kids feel bad for shit they did when they were much more young, stupid, and naïve.

lol yeah I mean I was pretty blunt in it because I thought that was the whole point. It was supposed to show a change in perceptive and that's exactly what my submission showed. Doesn't help the the whole group of TA's were Asian and Black though. So obviously they're going to take offense. But what are students supposed to do when they get an assignment like that?!

I talked about my old views on minorities. Which I will admit, were super wrong and ignorant and everything but I also said how I've completely changed my views. In my hometown that was sort of the norm, it doesn't make it right but it is what it is. But I talked about how going to the Univeristy that I go to(SUPER diverse) changed my views and shit. Apparently I'm still wrong lololol oh well

I want to take this class. I'll make up something super fucked up. Also ho can you get a 0 for completely the assignment as directed? I can understand not an epic grade, but 0?

I would have fucked with them so hard.

I took a writing or literature class or something in high school. I was the only dude, and most of the girls including the teacher were on the feminism wagon. I would talk about girls needing to know their role in the household when talking about book we were reading. I didn't get the best grades but it was pretty damn funny to have a whole class room of up tight people all butthurt about nothing.

jeez, snow driving isn't that hard, right? I got stuck behind some people going 5 mph about on my way home last night. about an inch on the roads but still, nothing too impossible. its even more annoying considering you're stuck behind audis and beamers and shit you know can handle that kind of weather.

I think people like this should be bumped off the road Nascar style. If your going to drive that slow you can pull over for faster traffic you cock sucking selfish piece of shit. Why shuold you have to pull a sketchy move into oncoming traffic to pass self centered pricks like that?

people are weird and want to be pseudo traffic cops. "its not fair that they are going faster than me so im gonna speed up and not let them over".


also really wish my other job didn't blow my phone up this AM asking where I was when I told at least 2 people that are in charge a month back that Saturday work is a no-go. now the head boss is texting me asking where I get off thinking I can dip out of work. Because I have another fucking job that I told you dipshits about back in November that obviously no one took note of? Obviously this is a situation where both parties are at fault but dude I told you fuckers a while back and no one listened. Your loss, I feel bad for the kids who don't have a coach today.

My girlfriend and I are going through some shit right now that is driving me nuts.

Background is that she cheated on me this summer while I was fire fighting, and I didn't find out until October. We moved in together and its all fucked. So I decided to try and work it out with her and just make a go of it.

The problem now is that it opened up a whole can of worms. Like she repressed all these emotions over so many years and now it's all coming out. She cries almost everyday, and basically can't forgive her self. She gets these panic attacks because she thinks I'm going to leave her and freaks out. As a result of all this she ha basically lost almost all affection for me, she is grossed out by the idea of sex, and tells me that I'm a reminder of all the things she did wrong.

I love her, and she loves me but this just feels fucked. She says she wants to fight for us, and for me not to let her ruin us. I really don't know what to do.

Plus I've been sick for 4 months, and all the doctors I see seem to be semi retarded.

Haha, gotta love these wannabe food network stars that run these very restaurants in PC. Obviously the food game is a cut-throat field to be a part of but its hilarious dealing with these dudes who think they're the next bobby flay. Over-priced shit quality dishes with a bunch of greasy J1's in the back cooking them when there are 3 other similar joints in the same town.

Just had an owner call and berate us and resort to personal insults over a cancelled reservation that was actually made for the previous day, that the guests actually showed up for. These fuckers up here dont have any shed of decency and never apologize when they fuck up/blame others which is a huge pet peeve, so it will be fun calling this homeboy back tonight and giving him the same shit right back to you. I understand people fuck up and you need to light the fire under asses sometimes, but you dont need to completely tear down people, especially kids that are just learning over money that you will more than certainly make up the rest of the year. I think this retard forgot we have literally the biggest movie festival on earth in our town on top of other breaks/holiday weekends.

Hope this fucker drops a hot plate on his crotch tonight, piece of shit.

Well, back at work for the first time in almost 3 weeks.

Pretty stoked that there were a billion warm days in that time and that now it's 10 degrees outside and I have a bunch of outdoor work. Not outdoor work like digging in rails, things like welding grinding, painting, putting on topsheets.


10 degrees, is definitely the ideal temp to do all of that. Obviously can't actually paint today because I don't even think it would be possible, but it means if it's mid 20's this week I'll probably give it a go and hope it's not too horrible.

Also now have a ton of things to do and insanely far beyond schedule.


I'm finishing everything in the spring and early fall for next year. Ugh
