The peppermint is the best one too, especially if you're out hiking. Ticks hate that stuff and will leave you the gently caress alone if you bathe in it beforehand

Hell yeah.

If you use the unscented diluted in water, you can spray it on a good number of plants and a lot of bugs will leave them alone.

Speaking of boat shoes, I bought these.




Top photo was obviously an early design. This is the final product, same packaging though.

I much prefer the original design. The current ones are truer to the poster, but the smaller woman and wonky nose hardly seem worth it. The soles and blood splatter on the ankle are a nice touch though.

Like the other guy said, I understand recreating the movie poster on the shoes, but Lord-Almighty the toe end of a shoe is already in a shark shape. They practically design themselves.

Someone good at Photoshop should do a mock-up of what the 'correct' way is.

I agree with that, but they don't look that weird in person.

There's a few other designs:

The local Movie Stop is going out of business and they have all new DVD/BR at 20% off and used at 40% off.

There was nothing new I wanted or needed, so I upgraded my DVD copies of Pulp Fiction and Apollo 13 to BR.

While probably an epically long audio book, Richard Rhodes' "The Making of the Atomic Bomb" is a fascinating read - a detailed, thorough history of how the Atomic age came to be.

The bike in the photo has plastic pedals so excuse me for believing that a company willing to photo their goods would actually put the correct supplied parts on for a photoshoot.

And the pedals supplied are alloy? Wow, that makes them worth a whole $5 more than the plastic ones and fits perfectly with the rest of the lovely Chinese alloy parts they supply the bike with. :allears:

I have had a pair of MDR-V6 for almost a year now. They are almost the same as the 7506. They sound great and are very comfortable. Good purchase.

We used those at the radio station, they're classic workhorse cans. I personally found my ATH ones more comfy, but that's purely personal preference.

I got an ancient set of beat-up MDRs from a garage sale, I used them until they literally fell apart. Even though they were in terrible shape, they still had great sound and were very comfortable even though the ear pad coverings were flaking off from age. If they still make them like that, then it's a solid purchase.

I had a buddy give a pair to me. They were probably the best headphones I ever had, and I used them till they broke as well. Gonna replace them with some V-Moda's soon!

They are most definitely alloy, but I agree with you they skimped on some of the parts. The parts skimped on are the ones most immediately replaced by anyone who rides more than a few miles a day. Those alloy spindles won't hold up to poo poo.




Got this turntable to go with the TV as they are both high resolution audio compatible. I also liked the built in Phono EQ for line out functionality.

I have the same ones. It took me a little while to get used to sound they produce (the high end frequencies can be a little annoying at first), but now I love 'em.

We've been using various Sony MDR's at our video production studio and in the field since the 90's. I think the pair I'm using right now I've had at least 12 years. If the earpads ever start crumbling you can get velour replacements which I recommend.

Even though it's a generic store brand, it's better than name brand like breyers, and dreyers. They put tons of cookie dough in it, and its soft and fresh.

I let it sit for 15 minutes, because it brings the flavor out, and I like when it's partly melted.

No i'm not fat or diabetic (yet).
