 Bit into one, was hit by the pungent taste of horseradish that was then followed up by a mild aftertaste of cheddar. Love them.

One Day Fish Sale posted:Guessing: https://www.sportsmansguide.com/product/index/german-army-trainer-shoes-gat-military-surplus-like-new?a=2051741 That is correct! Haven't gotten them yet, but so far Sportsman's Guide hasn't steered me wrong. The only issue I run into is their European clothes often run at least 1 size smaller than the stated size, so make sure to buy large.

Copy of the Nirvana CD-EP, "Hormoaning" Growing up, I was a huge fan of Nirvana. I used to skip school and go rummaging through the record stores in Harvard Square (Cambridge, MA) to find Nirvana bootleg live cassettes, import singles/EPs, 45's etc. I was able to buy a few, here and there, but there was one I never got and always wanted. I saw the "Hormoaning" EP back in '93, but it was 20 something bucks for an EP, and I was 13 and broke, so I didn't buy it. Not getting it then has been a great regret of mine, and something I thought about for a long time. Took me 24 years, but I finally got it. This is the Japanese version of the EP, which is far more common (and counterfeited) than the Australian version, which is all but impossible to get. Happily, this is the version I remember. I was able to verify its authenticity, and am really happy to have this relic of my past in my grubby clutches.

I'm fairly certain you can get a Belstaff Trialmaster with quilted shoulders. It's waxed cotton, not leather, but personally I think that's better. They do make a leather version, but it wouldn't have quilted shoulders, I think.

I'm assuming I couldn't afford things like these, especially because no one I know would ever want to see them so they'd sit in a box. Since these coins are surprisingly not all that rare, values are based on the quality and grade of the coin. This lifetime issue just sold for $130: http://www.ebay.com/itm/252978711696?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Or an posthumous one thats larger, or prettier. Or a coin from an unremarkable emperor like Gordian III, where you're paying for the coin itself, and not the backstory or the clout. But bronze coins are just as interesting and historic and can be had for the price of a movie ticket. See below.

I've never listened to their music, but my friend has never been to a proper concert (she's been to 3 concerts for people like Justin Bieber and Billy Joel, regular arena rock/pop where you're 300 feet from the stage and watching the singer on a screen). I'm taking her "in a crowd in a dark room getting blasted by speakers and splashed beer" virginity.

Aramek posted:This was me with Electric Six. Every single time. No regrets. I was at The Social in Orlando on Tuesday. The Birthday Massacre, with Sumo Cyco and Army of the Universe opening. Sumo Cyco included the singer (Skye Sweetnam, of The Barbie Diaries and various Disney and Nickelodeon cartoon theme songs) and the guitarist performing from on top of the bar at different periods, plus her having the guitarist give her a piggy back ride through "Fighter". When The Birthday Massacre performed, Chibi and Rainbow spent pretty much the whole concert messing with the front row or each other. At one point she stole a girl's hat off her head to wear for part of a song. Army of the Universe is pure Eurotrash, though. I felt like I was in an early 2000s German nightclub, with a sweaty shirtless Italian man singing about partying in 1999 next to a dude with a keytar.

There is no way in the world that I would pay $600+ for a jacket. Good God. There are a ton of vintage stores in my area that have racks and racks of leather jackets but most of them are heavy, cracked biker jackets or light brown affairs with foot-long lapels. This is where I found the exact style I want: https://www.black-leatherjacket.com/mens-quilted-shoulder-leather-jacket That site looks shady as fuuuuuuck.

Don't get me wrong: the Belstaff prices are absolutely out to lunch, esp. since the one I mentioned is not even leather. Buuut, a quality leather jacket can cost a lot of money, so prepare your wallet. I once absolutely jumped at the chance to get a closeout Schott jacket at $300. Even if that site wasn't just a front to get your cc info stolen, what you'll get for $189 will probably be very... short-lived.

You don't have to spend $600+, but if you buy crap you're going to be disappointed and end up replacing it and spending more in the long run. And seconding don't buy from that site. Looks shady as gently caress and is going to be absolute poo poo quality. Here's a guaranteed much better (maybe NOS?) jacket that isn't too expensive

no it's just that bongwizard is a better rapper than either of the guys in RTJ so it's naturally very weird to him that they are experiencing enormous critical and commercial success while he sits and posts about it on the Something Awful Forums.

Actually my point was that most people I knew back then preferred the other def jux guys to elp, so it is weird to me that he, years latter, got famous when most of his labelmates never did. Like, if you hand asked me back then who was gonna get huge it would have been Mr Lif or Vast Arie. bongwizzard has a new favorite as of 17:39 on Jun 16, 2017 |
