Guy from Czechoslovakia climbs over the rail at a zoo into the lion's cage. Get's eaten. They don't know if the female or the male ate him so they figure it's most likely the female protecting her turf. They dart her and cut her open and find nothing. That should have been obvious because we all know:



The Czech's in the male.

My dry rub BBQ kicks ass. Oakland still has the best BBQ, if for nothing else than the risk you take in getting it.

Invitation accepted.

shovelhd

That sounds like a Marvin joke.

rkwaki

At first I laughed then I realized you are as messed up as I am...
Bwahahaha

depends on the type of studio...some are "street shops", doing commercial stuff (picking something from a catalog etc), doing walk-ins, etc. in which case they'll charge by the piece... Others, like ours, are strictly custom. we're hourly.

rkwaki

Thanks, this is custom stuff. I want to have my arm/shoulder finished and am pondering having a piston put on the back of each calf...
You're kinda like ********* mother, you charge by the hour

hammy56

if you like, send me links to the artist prospects...

or start driving.

okay - fast advice times for me, I've got not so long before I have to load my bikes in the trailer to go racing this weekend.

Glued up new tubulars, rode for 60', hung the bike up last night, this morning = flat rear tire.

Found the problem, a really small rock/hole.... like, tiny.
No problem our hero thinks, I've got a few cans of Pitstop, pulls out pitstop...

the pitstop cans I've had around for a few years seem to be 26x2.1>2.7 29x1.7>2.3.... *insert frowny face*

The tubular is a 22mm, thoughts?
I've got clinchers I will be taking either way - so it's not a make/or/break proposition... just hoping to use the nice wheels.

rkwaki

I think you and discussed Black13 one time (https://black13tattoo.com/)
I had planned to come see you before you moved but missed out...
Trying to see if there is anyway I can sneak a business trip out your way.

hammy56

Hida- you have a backup tire you can put on there before you leave?

rkwaki

Try it, use the 26x21 though I haven't had good luck with the stuff.

hammy56

theyre work is good...youre theyre prblem now.

Hida Yanra

sorry - 26x2.1>2.7
these are MTB pitstop cans - which I didn't realize until just now.

rkwaki

I know you still love me though...
Anything I should know or ask?

hammy56

just look at the chosen artists' portfolio and decide if he can handle your piece....from the looks of it, shouldnt be an issue.

rkwaki

Can you handle my piece********** Bwahahahahahahaha

My friends have used them and were very happy, they took the time to match the artist with work and it took a little time to match them up.

One last question and then I won't ask anymore but am I better off having the tattoo done now while I am in a growth stage (i.e. big as a frickin rhino) or wait until I diet down?

hammy56

you'd have to have a very substantial change in size for it to have any bearing on the design.

rkwaki

Great thanks.

echappist

umm, would a Torrontés go well with it?
sweet, i'll go, too, just so that i can drop your fat *** on baldy (ha, joking)

get a jar of Effeto Mariposa? You measure the amount you need and inject via syringe.

Hida Yanra

I've got the valve apart, and I have a bunch of new Stan's for my mtb bikes - can I use that? No time to go shopping elsewhere I'm afraid.

mattm

Only four people pre-reg'd for the race tomorrow.. wtf.

I guess everyone is at Merco??

Planning on doing the 2/3's and the 1/2/3's race, hopefully we'll get enough people to make it fun.

mattm

Where in Oakland?

echappist

i mean if you have a syringe and an injector port, anything sealant should work; not sure how much you would need though

rkwaki

I'll kick your scrawny ass in the ditch right at the base...
