OT: waaaaaaay OT....

I have been in some Irish bands. These days, I just play solo. My regular set is a lot of Byrds and 60s and 80s Merseybeat. A few REM and some other odds and ends. All jangly stuff on an electric 12-string.
Had an awesome time playing in Ireland, though.
"Play de blues, boy".

harkens back to my own secret wishes whilst bartending

HA HA I love it!

[murphy12]

Funny stuff, missus.
Why feel badly? It'sthe Healthcare bill itself that's causing a firestorm.

[Aisling]

oh i feel badly because it wouldn't have been a topic on here if i didn't start it

trying to add some levity... as i do with most serious situations

[murphy12]

Still worthy of discussion, though. The issue affects us all, and strong opinions are hardly surprising.


But I'd rather be riding.

OK, decided I would rescue this venerable thread from page 2 obscurity.

And to address both the subject of this thread and the contentious health discussion, I thought I would share a couple pics of the mudflap boy that now graces my dreamy Coiler Schtubbette! A fine figure of an American - he made his debut in Whitefish last weekend.

[Angie]

HAHAHA! I love it.

I know this is off topic for the off topic thread because its not off topic (how many times can I say off topic in one sentence?)...but how long is your schtubette?

I LOVE the 160 Bruce has as a demo, but I decided to go with a VSR to purchase instead. I think a schtubette is in the future anyway though

It was about time this thread got pulled from the depths of healthcare, trolling idiots, and other miscellany

[snowboardworm]

NICE!! the mudflap guy is only missing a silhouette of a beer in hand

[two_ravens]

My little metal Schtubbette is 160cm x 18.2cm x 12m SCR. Very flexy - I can bend her to a 7m turn if I'm motivated enough. Seems to handle a wide variety of conditions with ease, and she looks great with all my one piece suits!

Trying to decide what to have Bruce build me next - he suggested a VSR, but I'm thinking maybe a Montucky Race Carve (aka Classic.)

Hey it's me. Those weren't supposed to be released, I didn't sign the waiver.

Where is my beer?

[Michelle]

two_ravens that is the best! I love it! I'm also thinking of a custom top sheet for my new Coiler... but yours has mine beat!

Surely you've heard this jazz/blues classic sung by a female African American whose name I can't quite place. (Surprisingly, initial Google search hasn't turned up a relevant lead. One result was something by Glen Miller!!!??)

Anyway, a classic song. One to be cherished by any red-blooded American... ! Often plays on WSHA's "The Blues is the Blues is the Blues."

Oops - forgot the waiver. But you had an awesome time at Big Mountain last weekend! (However, Allee drank all your beer - darn these sneaky carving chics anyway!)

Hey Tow Ravens,
Just had to say I love the mud flap design on the Coiler! It is fabulous.

On a side note, I recently received a 161 VSR Colier and I had it out last weekend. And I love it! I went from riding short old alpine boards (17 years old lol) to a Colier. Its like going from a Ford Pinto to a Ferrari!

I am in trouble now...........I want more Coliers

[two_ravens]

Just to be clear - mudflap boy is just a stick-on car plaque from Northernsun.com. He can come off if I ever get tired of him staring at my... tight... heelside!

SnowNBeach - yes you do have a problem now! And there's no 12 step program for it.... Just keep sending Bruce money!

And BB - no, I haven't heard the Big Fat Daddy song... I'll have to look it up. But we have to be careful - it could end up as the sound track of dredman's next video!!! (Last time out, I mentioned rodeo bronc riding and how I felt like I was just hanging on for my 8 second ride in difficult conditions - the song I got was from Skunkweed - about 8 second rides... but I don't think they're singing about rodeos!)

Skunkweed is hilarious! I have had the pleasure of listening to them...entertaining for sure!

[Aisling]

i love this!

My current Coiler is a classic. LOVE it...although, when looking at all three: schtubette, VSR, classic...the schubette and classic are more similar. The VSR will do all kinds of fun things but also requires a little more agression, which is why I chose to take it first over the Schtubette!

[dredman]

If you are interested in Skunkweed's music. It can be purchased thru their website www.skunkweed.com.

They are lyrical geniuses and quite great muscians also.

I would love to get to TX and watch one of their shows!

[Michelle]

Ah yes lyrical genuises for sure! you have to hear it to believe it!

Welcome to my world. Soon you'll also be known as "Coiler girl" by Bruce . If I had more money, I'd have more Coilers!

I'm a total Coiler PUSHER!

I"m not going to comment on 8 second rides........................

[Angie]

!

Some people also think Flight of the Conchords are lyrical geniuses. All in the eye of the beholder....?????

DREDMAN...I'm gonna steel all your fudge rounds!

[dredman]

DREDMAN...I'm steeling your fudge rounds!

You will never take mine!! The world is full of Little Debbies snacks!! Get your own!!

[SnowNBeachAddict]

Hey Ya'll
Yes I now work for Bruce..............paycheck gets deposited.............check gets written to Bruce . I already sent an email to place a second order. I am in serious trouble. Arggggg I don't think a 12 step program will cure me.........if we weren't riding out here til July that might help a bit

Now I am just trying to plot what I want for my next board.........VSR with a diff nose, more side cut...........not sure of the length yet..........decisions.............decisions...... .....

I hope everyone has a great spring! Come out to Cali where we will be riding til July!!

[murphy12]

I'd dearly love another RC1 180 with the new materials. It'll have to wait, though. Need to upgrade the PA system a wee bit first.

[dredman]

I'd dearly love another RC1 180 with the new materials.

That would be the Montucky RaceCarve, the New and Improved version of the fiberglass RaceCarve!!

Funnily enough, I have his twin on my roof box. One of my workmates was admiring his svelte profile just this morning.

[ncermak]
