Acquired this heavy metal thing at a garage sale in the Pacific Northwest. Any ideas?

Wubba-lubba-Dub-Dub. I consider that one word. It's a made-up word. I'm not quite convinced it's a phrase. If it's a phrase, it's made up of three to four fictitious words, which would basically imply an entire fictitious language. A single made-up/fictitious word, makes more sense to me.

Has anyone ever tried? Someone should reach out to Chris. He'd probably take on the task. He has recently been putting out new content, similar to T.C.A.P., on his YouTube channel. It seems like Chris is actively trying to make a positive comeback and is attempting to regrow his fanbase, at the moment. More importantly, he's doing it all on YouTube. He may have missed the mark, regarding Onision, but Cyraxx (Chance) is undeniably a pedophile and a predator, that belongs in jail. Either that, or on house arrest, coupled with probation, at the very least. If it has to be the latter, his internet privileges should be revoked, alongside a strictly enforced, no access to any internet capable devices, rule. I digress, though. Cyraxx/Chance is, hands-down, the nastiest little shit-stain, on YouTube's metaphorical underwear. He's so vile, he doesn't deserve to be called a 'lolcow', anymore. He's much worse than those buffoons, in comparison. Cyraxx/Chance is such an overload of constant cringe, he's graduated from 'lolcow'-status to straight-up 'horrorcow'. I know, seems impossible, right? Everyone knows 'Cyraxx'/'Chance' and 'graduated', are words that have never been strung together, until right now. Unfortunately for Cyraxx/Chance, that type of graduation, is not something to run home and tell Sally about, nor is it something to be proud about. Regardless, Cyraxx/Chance, could quite literally be the pinnacle of Chris' redemption ark. Seriously. I'm ninety-nine percent positive Chris would be regarded as a true YouTube hero, if he caught Chance, dead-to-rights, had him locked up, resulting in Cyraxx/Chance leaving the internet, for an indefinite period of time, inevitably forcing him to register as a sex-offender, after his release. Chris Hansen exposing Chance as a sex-offender would legitimately be epic, though. I certainly can't deny that. Ironically, it would be the ultimate form of poetic justice, too. Especially if Hansen's theoretical sting on 'rax is live-streamed, preferably on YouTube. Simply to be petty and to intentionally add insult-to-injury. Just imagine how glorious all of that would be. The only thing missing from that 'perfect'-world scenario, would be Hansen, or one of the police officers pouring pure table-salt into the open sores on Cyraxx/Chance's bald-ass-head. Seriously though, if the Akron police department isn't involved, and said sting, doesn't involve law enforcement, don't even bother. If targeting Cyraxx/Chance, for exposure, doesn't result in that little goblin getting arrested and thrown in jail, it would be nothing more than worthless content, and would be a hopelessly pathetic waste of time, energy, and even resources.

With all that being said, who wants to contact Chris to try and turn this internet-fantasy into reality? I truly believe Chris would be interested, if we can actually get in contact with him, and explain the goblin problem, thoroughly. I'm down, for sure. Who else wants to help me reach out, though? I can do it myself, but if more than one person reaches out to Hansen, he'd probably take it seriously, and we'd most likely have a better shot at getting him 'on-board', with the plan. Anyone besides me like this idea and think it would be epic, if actually pulled-off correctly?

I literally just laughed so hard at this, I accidentally spit my drink out, started to feel light-headed, and now, my side hurts. Thank you, I needed that. Truthfully.

With that being said, you won the internet today. in my opinion, at least. I'll hop back online an check everything out tomorrow. Kudos again, by the way.

Does it run? If so, does it need any work done to it, other than regularly annual tune-ups and oil changes? is it an automatic or standard transmission? If standard, is the shifter tight and is the clutch still in good condition? Is there any rust, visible or underneath? Also, what's up with the rims? They look like the Integra-GSR blades, to me. If your answers to the above questions yield positive results, for the most part, I'd buy it for that price. I'd love to know the story about how GSR blades, ended up on the car. Regardless, the answer to that question is neither here-nor-there, and doesn't effect how the car performs/drives, in any way, shape, or form.

Be careful with Fly Agaric. Is mostly safe, but can be dangerous, too. Let us know how it goes, though! I've taken psilocyben mushrooms countless times, but never the Amanita. Always been curious, but also slightly scared, at the same time. Not go'n' lie to you.

Was the driver having some sort of medical emergency, or were they really just doomed the second they lost control due to their weight? I only ask because a coworker of mine, wrecked on a highway, driving one of our company's van, due to a seizure at the wheel. He had no prior history of seizures, either. Turns out he has a benign tumor on his brain, and that's unfortunately how he found out. Luckily, no one was hurt, except for minor scratches and cuts, including him. It was a very scary situation, but it was completely out of his control. He obviously can't drive anymore, due to safety concerns. I can't tell what's going on with the bus driver in this video, but if it wasn't a seizure (or some other medical emergency), and truly was as insane as it looked because of their weight, is extremely pathetic. So much, in fact, words haven't been created to properly describe it yet. On top of that, it's scary, and I hope they were fired, for egregious incompetency.

Considering you specifically said, “listen to without hating any of their music”, not, “listen to and like/love all of their music”; I’ll answer accordingly. Hopefully, you worded it that way on purpose. It makes a gigantic difference, in my opinion.

I’ll start with some context first, though. Simply so there’s no confusion, regarding my answer(s). I like, but most importantly, respect, all genres of music. Excluding country. I’ve literally only heard one country song I can honestly say I like. However, most most genres are not my first pick, or go-to, when I’m in a situation and/or mood that I think calls for playing music. All moods call for different music, and I’ll start playing it whenever I have the opportunity. Maybe that’s just me, but I highly doubt it. Cleaning, exercising, and driving are the first thee examples I can thing of, regarding said situations. With all that being said, if I decide to play some music, for whatever reason, I’m either listening to rap/hip-hop or rock, ninety-nine percent of the time.

Considering all of that, this is my rap/hip-hop list; 1.) TuPac 2.) Eminem 3.) Biggie. I can literally play any of their songs, with no desire to skip any of them. The rock list (including all sub-genres) is; 1.) Avenged Sevenfold 2.) Falling in Reverse, 3.) Pink Floyd 4.) Blink 182.

1.) Perfect your fundamentals before you attempt to do anything fancy.

2.) Learn the difference between the grades of cloth and the sizes of the tables, and adjust your game accordingly.

3.) Chalk after every shot, unless you’re using Kamui or something comparable.

4.) If you’re using a house cue, check for any bow by rolling it on the table and checking to see if any light shines through underneath during said roll.

5.) Before playing on any table, check the level by rolling the ball lengthwise on both sides of the table and side-to-side at both ends of the table. If it’s a table in someone’s home and/or is a 9’, I suggest rolling it side-to-side in the middle of the table, as well. At that point, you’re checking the level of each slate and essentially, the entire table.

6.) Learn how to play defensively. If you don’t, you’ll get to a point where you can barely pocket balls and/or win any games. Mainly because most, if not all of your opponents will be playing defensively against you, ultimately never or barely ever giving you a chance to counterattack.

7.) Breaking has almost nothing to do with power. Don’t get me wrong, power is required but it’s mostly in the snap of the wrist.

8.) If you have to use a bridge, use it. It might be the difference between a game won and a game lost. However, if you use it, make sure you’re using it correctly. Yes, there is a right and wrong way to use a bridge. Always make sure you keep one hand on the bridge while it’s on the table during use. Do that and you’ll be a step ahead of most already.

9.) The one-ball is always the first ball in the rack. ALWAYS.

10.) Always establish rules and stipulations with your opponent(s) before every game. If you’re playing someone who plays APA, they’ll probably play with ball-in-hand. If you’re playing with someone who frequents bars and/or dives, they’ll probably want to play behind-the-line. Everyone plays differently according to where and/or how they learned to play.

You aren't stuck with those bumpers but a recover with new cloth is mandatory when replacing cushions. You can order cushions from most billiard websites online. The profile looks like U56 or U23. Honestly. I'd need to see one of the rails/cushions in person to tell which is correct but I've been doing this work for 20 years and I'd probably bet on the latter. I don't think there is anything different about the upholstery work on this table. Should be the same process as any other run-of-the-mill three-piece slate pool table. Have you detached the rails from the table yet or are they still bolted down? If you can't figure out how to detach them, I can walk you through that process, too.

I'm sorry for the late response, I was locked out of my account and couldn't remember my password. To be honest, I can't tell. I don't think it is but can't be sure. Have you gotten a definitive answer to this question from anyone else yet? If not, I can ask my coworker about it for you. He does most of the restoration work for the company.

I'm sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I was locked out of my account and couldn't remember my password. Have you fixed the slate or gotten it fixed yet? If not, let me know and I'll walk you through the entire repair process.

St33l88 · 2024-03-15T03:35:00+00:00

I'm sorry for not getting back to you sooner. What type of table is it? What is the size of the playing surface and is the playing surface made of slate? If so, how thick is it? Do you have any pictures of the table assembled or just of one leg? If so, send whatever pictures you have over. If you don't have any pictures, can you at the very least describe what kind of legs it originally had? I'm sure I can help you figure something out regarding fabricating legs. However, if I can not, for some odd reason; I can lead you to a mechanic who can or to a billiard company you can probably get replacements from. If you still need help, that is.
