Glad to see that you're healing kiddo! I don't think that an extra 20lbs is something for you to fret over (unless it all landed on your head/neck). LMAO at Putty's "cereal IV comment tho.

Continue to get well!

Rip.

Thanks guys! Not quite sure what happened with the pics. They should have APPEARED "re-sized"

Just found this one of the left (prior to the "Woody" stickers). Wish I had a "before shot" of the tank... Paul really worked some magic on it.

To the theme from the commercial for "My Buddy & Kid Sister"

"My helmet. My helmet. Wherever I go iiitttttt goessss."

That will be all. Catch me at The Newport performing live tomorrow night.

Congratulations!!!

Damn "Double N", sorry to see that you wiped out. Glad to know that you're okay though.

Sent!

Keep your head up mayne. You and your family can and WILL get through this.

Congratulations man... Coming from a guy who NEVER wins ANYTHING, I envy your good fortune.

isn't this what the original rappers were hoping for? to become mainstream?

the garbage that gets produced as a result is just the price you pay for being a mainstream genre...period.

To a degree. Original artists were hoping for the music, artform, and culture of hip-hop to become mainstream... However, I'm not quite sure that anyone saw this crap coming. I think that Inya said it best when he referenced real hip hop artists (Common, De La, MOS DEF, Talib, Tribe, and many that came before them) as originators, while the rest Soulja Boy and the like are simply raping the genre for cash. Speaking of which, give that track "The Rape Over" by Mos Def a listen, and you'll see exactly what's going on.

I think that the reason why no one really saw this coming is that back when hip hop originated, most of the "suckas" who weren't coming with the "real" were quickly dismissed (battling in a cypher, at a party, on stage etc.), and taken out of the game until their skills were up to par. Some became "one hit wonders" (Vanilla Ice/MC Hammer, etc.). That way, should "wackness" ever make it to the mainstream, it didn't really perpetuate itself. Now labels are signing this garbage (because its catchy/infectious), so more garbage is being made.

Fortunately for true hip-hop fans, this is nothing more than a storm that we must weather, and it too shall pass. We've seen rap (a part of hip-hop) go from hardcore, to gangsta, to heavily materialistic... This is just another phase. But until it ends, I'll be bumping some Chili Peppers

RIP John.

I wanted to give you rep for this pic, but I was told that I have to spread it around first... I really need a copy of this on my cellphone, so that whenever someone does sum "dumb-isht", I can kindly show them the pic and walk away.

Sorry... This is going to be LONG!

I honestly dig the message (wrote a lengthy blog about that topic a few yrs back, but never uploaded it), however I LOATHE it's delivery.

The problem with blackface, regardless of the message, is that it's BLACKFACE! True it carries a certain "shock-quality", however I'm not a fan of utilizing an entertainment genre that exploited, oppressed, and belittled my ancestor's culture and way of life in order to convey a message.

Yeah, you can argue that I'm taking this too seriously (as it was meant in jest). You can also argue that the bullshit that's in heavy rotation on the radio is hot garbage. Hell, I'll second that! I'm so sick of Stanky Legs, Ice Cream Paint, and ANYTHING with Soulja Boy. Hell, after he made that IGNANT (that's right, when it's that dumb, it's no longer ignorant, but IGNANT) comment about giving "props" to slave owners, I decided that he, his parents, teachers, and church officials all need to be given a good flogging with a sand-filled hose until they no longer feel the pain from the lead pipe that they were previously attacked with.

My bad, I got off track thinking about beating some sense into Soulja Boy... Yeah, I may be taking this too seriously, but I'm not a big fan of blackface parodies. Especially when in some cases, the general audience isn't "swift" enough to connect with the message. Now we have gratuitous blackface in circulation.

I did kinda laugh at the "ice" substitution for watermelon seeds.

Right... Regarding the sale... Sweet bike. I agree that the 70mm Termi soundtrack is a really nice deal sweetener.

its a honda, not a ducati. totally different story with the duc.

Please son! My Honda has more soul than most people. Caring for one's bike is a labor of love, it facilitates an unbreakable bond between machine and rider, one so powerful that the bike can begin to sense the rider's thoughts (ever wonder why it seems as if your bike corners effortlessly with you on it, but not so much with someone else?). So don't make it mad with thoughts of replacing it.

Does Hallmark have a line of Motorcycle greeting cards?

RIP rider.

If all goes as planned, I will slide thru for a spell.

Happy Birthday

Happy birthday mayne!

Sweet Bike man! Wish that I could have scooped the Repsol off of you...

Just saw this thread today. Sorry to hear about your misfortune Lance. Glad to hear that you're doing well man! Heal up fast.

I'm not clever if you have to explain it.

John's onto me. I busted his chops about his ugly bike on our ride last weekend, but he knows it's because I'm in the closet about wanting to have one in my garage to do horribly evil and disgusting things with... I'd even let me 'busa and SV watch.

yea, I'm kinky like that.

Two wheeled menage?!!? Whatever works for ya... Just try not to get any love stains in the exhaust... May not bode well for the garage door upon startup.

Like gruesome Calvin and Hobbes violence?

I guess it's better than a pic of an RC - I don't think anyone should be forced to look at one of those.

I'm sayin'..... That's jive messed up:wtf:. You can either stare at Aria's azz whenever I post, or a pic of my ugly mug:D... Take your pic (*Note: I know the difference between pick and pic, "pick" meaning "choose" was purposely spelled like "pic" meaning an abbreviation for "picture" in a tremendously corny way to appear witty).
