Hate to break it to you Slaag, but that carpet is well beyond any help from Miss Hoover or even Mr Servicemaster. I think the dating wizard costume is going to be more of a concern for the lady friends than the carpet anyway.

I swear I spotted an old aquarium in one of the photos on page three. Slaag, please tell me the last fish that died in that tank is still in there all dried up and stuck to the gravel.

ya slaag where ya at, i know you're lurking the web-
you should auction off some of that shit you got...to the maggots

ate the fish. don/t know what anyone would want but anything toward a bird pass is good. the denial that winter is over just ended - i rollerbladed today. soon i will pump up my inner tube and ride the whitewater of big cottonwood creek. thank god slaaghos think this place is a step up.

i too wondered why this random thread had a 5 star rating...now i see why. so amazing on so many levels.

are those samurai swords? slagg, i think we need a demonstration on how to fight off ninjas while slacklining(to keep in the spirit of the thread of course...)

This thread has so much win, it's hard to describe. But none of the other pictures beats the shock and awe of opening the thread for the first time and seeing the first picture.

I prefer an old dynamic climbing rope and a "come along" between two trees. Two six footish pieces of rope or webbing and a few carabiners make it extra slick to setup. The elasticity of the dynamic rope adds a dimension in mid span of the line but requires adding tension as the rope adjusts. The come along is the key to easy ghetto tensioning.

I dont care if some of you griefers think this post ought to be in another forum- you fools should be working!

in a feeble attempt to redeem my slackass hijack of this thread i offer these pics taken 8/8/10 in liberty park slc

cross training - slacklining and limbo

I just can't go through this thread without thinking that somehow, md9 is involved.

what's with all of the spaghetti sauce lined up on the floor?

ski bum 401k

Such a good idea, with mercury levels increasing in tuna, those cans are gonna be worth a fortune.

so it seems that you and your cat eat the same thing, is that correct. also i still dont get how you can buy all that pellegrino! wic money wont cover all that




ALSO- those fucking slacklining hippies need to be protecting the tree-there is no padding for those poor trees you fucking hippies- BTY they make slacklining look fucking gay

Slaag - I'm almost afraid to ask, but do you rent or own this place?

neither - i stay for free - a friends storage bedroom. i do own a house but i rent it out to cover the mortgage. in about 6 years it will be paid for so i can live there! the pellis were from my foodstamp days - over now. these days its the plasma center and the foodbank. with the new rates for plasma - they pay bases on weight and i'm a fat ass - i should have a season pass at the bird by october or november.

Word!

...and you hang it low enough that it won't wack you in the balls when you fall, and then you won't need those stupid leg guards (or was he riding the kids bike?)...

DD, why're you hatin on the Freeks?
I see no hippies.
Having a little beard, and wearing dull, tucked in Tshirts, makes you a hippie?
Fuck me sideways!
More like a priest in training..

Oh wait, silly me, those head-rags they're wearing have some kind of psychedelic pattern on them, is that it?

Dude, you need to Upgrade your Putdowns.
I may be living in the past, but Hippies were rarely dull...

those are good points about slacklining. the guys were at the drum circle in liberty park - they were kind of a travelling circus. they came on unicycles - hence the leggings. the third guy - not in the pics - had just got back from san fran or berkeley where they had the unicycle trials nationals - he came in 3rd.

at least in slc the drum circle brings everyone together in a very peaceful group - baby boomers, flower children, hippies, yuppies, punk rockers, goths, grunge, gen xers, ravers, or skin heads...

Whoever said cleanliness is next to godliness was obviously full of shit.

Forget plasma, do you do any sperm donor work? The world needs more people like you.

Good amount of awesomeness in this thread - here is something to bring it a bit more on topic:




It looks like they did a "girls only" trailer as well

I hope you meant the first vid where he is doing the swinging surfer. Cuz I don't see a single thing in the second vid around 2:18 that has anything cool at all.
