I just comissioned a new Richard Black pool cue: linky

Click on Gallery Cues for his higher-end stuff. My new one's runing about $4k, I'll post pictures of it when it's done around the 1st of the year, if Richard doesn't put pictures on his website. It's themed on the oroboros, the snake eating its own tail, which will be scrimshawed in ivory. Water buffalo joint, silver and ivory decco ring work, East Indian Rosewood and Ebony, black leather wrap, ivory ferrules. Nice.

I'd be awful hungry now had I not bought it.

I just went to the butchers counter at the grocery store. First I asked if he had any left over beef bones, when he said "yes" I asked him for the biggest leg bone he had. To cook it, just boil it in a big pot of water for an hour or two.

Oh and make sure to leave it sit out to cool down before giving it to your dog, also cooked bones make a pretty big mess so be careful where you let him chew on it.

A DEI Viper branded 1100.5 car amplifier.

5 channel with the sub channel 1ohm stable putting out 600watts rms and the stereo channels I belive doing around 75 watts rms @ 4ohms or 110rms @ 2 ohms.

It's great, because I sold all my other amps about 2 months ago and have had nothing in there for a long time, it's nice to have sound again.

Yeah, I can't really go into details, it's a pretty powerful amplifier, not competition level or anything, but for a daily driver, it works fantastically. I need to pick up some components now so it can do it's thing.

Could you (or Patrick maybe) go over this a little more? Did you go to the butcher's counter at your grocery store, or an actual butcher shop? Do you just ask for a "huge beef soup bone?" How do you cook it? I'm a first-time dog owner so I'm curious.

I haven't gone the soup bone route. But I do often buy something called a shank bone. The local butcher actually flavors them with hickory or something. Takes my dog a day or two trying to snake her tongue into the thing to retrieve the marrow. If it's not smoked it's usually bloody and either way she is in heaven. I only let her have it outside though since it's messy and I need to consider the wife's reaction to a messy carpet. I buy a few of these and if they are the bloody variety I freeze them until ready to hand them out.

It's a toss up between the 8-ball and the quarter-bag.

Edit: Not only is it a bad ass phone, but my old cell phone has been broken for 2 months. I also don't have a land line. So I have had no phone for 2 months. It's nice to have contact with the outside world again.

Let's share our enjoyable recent purchases, anything from a TV to a shirt to a chair.

Mine is a rice cooker that I got for my dorm room this year. This thing is UNBELIEVABLY useful since I eat almost nothing (never had a hamburger, hot dog, etc.) so I just eat rice with Jewel rotisserie chicken at least three times a week. You just put in the rice and water and press a button and boom, it even keeps it warm if you don't want to eat it all right away. These things are not expensive and rice is super cheap so it's good financially too.

Rice cookers are fantastic. I've had the same one for over 10 years and it still does great. Bought it at WalMart dirt cheap too.




I like my last DVD purchase too.
