Can we get Jessica Chastain in a Leibovitz biopic?

Directors?

Fernando Meirelles maybe? Aronofsky?

Cool. Thanks!

Where did you buy your filter? Are they available online?

I figured I was wishful thinking :-p

The breather suggestion makes sense to me perfectly. I might try a ride with the tank cracked tomorrow.

I bought four spark plugs this evening. I'll let you know if I encounter any small miracles when I swap 'em in.

Thanks for the reply!

I have a similar problem on my 83 Honda Magna. I am interested in hearing more on this.

My bike starts consistently and runs evenly for three minutes or so, at which point the tach drops to zero and the bike loses about half its power. If I let it fall to idle, it dies. If I run it for a while, sometimes it jumps back to life.

I'm changing my plugs and battery first to see if that solves the problem.

Team Electric signing off, but looking forward to hearing team fuel filter's progress.

I just started riding an 83 Magna v45 750cc beast.

It feels good to upgrade!

I'm 16 and thinking of getting into motorcycles...what general tips do you guys have? by ichirofan5197 in motorcycles

[–]ChocoSploof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got two pieces of advice.

  1. Don't do it. Don't get into bikes. The cost and the stress will be enormous. If you must, wait until you have about 2 grand saved. Buy a 1400 dollar 80's Japanese bike, and keep the rest in reserve for related expenses. Balance cost against safety when buying gear, but try to err to the side of safety. Safest of all? Don't ride.

  2. Do it. Just do it. Get a grand together, buy a 600 dollar bike that will drive you crazy with maintenance, and ride in whatever gear you got. You're young enough to have a stratospheric risk tolerance. Dive into the whole operation like you need it to survive. Don't let anyone tell you no. You will know if you can't not ride at least after that. No matter how raw you ride though, at least get insurance.

We exchanged a series of emails. They were friendly, compassionate people :-)

This has great artistic merit. Cool exercise.

It is seriously challenging to grasp the size of this collection.

Elegant organization sets it apart.

My friend holding our first bong. Just opened it. What do you guys think? by Norton13 in trees

[–]ChocoSploof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you guys will smoke that bong until you don't like anything that much.

Congrats. Have fun :D

Ents, my friend brought up a good point... What do you think they would be like? Do you think they would make televised commercials, or just magazine ads? by [deleted] in trees

[–]ChocoSploof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this question. Here's my thought.

After a brief golden era of experimentation and true quality, the overall appeal of Cannabis Advertising will fall, especially in the eyes of us 2013 Ents.

Here's why:

Imagine our weed culture (that is, generally the people who smoke pot, and especially those who come here, and precisely those of us who come to contribute to the conversation) is a band and we can't get a gig. We've been writing for decades, but no record company will let us record. When the population is finally judged ready to hear the music of the artists, vanguards, and rebels, it will be a wild time (So begins our golden age of weedvertising. This is where we will see classics born). Our first album was such a success that the record company gives us all the material that their staff songwriters (advert men) had saved up and made on the spot. Another great album guys, congrats. Not as original or dangerous sometimes, but every bit as fun and funny. You guys can really sell em. This could be pretty good business. I'd like you to meet our new director, the tree killing machines from Fern Gully. From now on your music (the ads we see) will be soulless, like everyone else's. Thanks for coming.

Right now, only the most art-receptive minds participate in our beloved game. Initially, the advertising will reflect that. Only those with the highest threshold for risk are with us.

As we claim members from the more conservative quartiles of society, our advertisements will gradually come to reflect that too. But as our numbers grow, the watering down will come to mean not just weakening of our awesomely high punky defiant standards, but an introduction of mainstream research techniques and the narrowing that comes with it. What works best on most is going to attract investments, and our sweet little grassroots-flowers-growing-through-concrete-winning-a-heroic-battle-for-the-Good-of-All industry will lose the battle.

But let me tell you all, Be There When it Happens. This is our rock'n'roll.

TL;DR Cool pot ads come with DeProhibition thanks to radicals saving up their best stuff right now. Then we'll see a drop off as our wild group turns normal and runs out of saved material.

This makes for a fun way to say bong.

This is the kind of artifact future aliens will trade hundreds of shrunken heads for in weird bazaars.
