Do you actually have the jeans? How do they fit? I'm always wary of buying jeans off the net but I love these (and the blue ones...).

I don't have them yet, but they did have all the measurements up plus 45 reviews saying they're true to size, so hopefully they'll be ok.

You can do it by poking a little hole in each end of the egg and blowing the insides out by mouth, but you can get raw egg in your mouth and slobber all over everything, and sometimes crush the egg. That gizmo is probably a million times easier.

"Gradient" is less sexy and has one too many syllables, it won't sell to the critical post-tween millennial demographic.

Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.

Ombre actually is a term specifically to refer to colors/tones that blend into one another, and is used in fibers. Gradient tends to apply when there is a visible shade change, as opposed to that smooth blending you get with dip dying. Like you might talk about a gradient pillow if it had a series of 5 colors that shift in blocks from light to dark, but if it was a smooth transition like with the jeans it would be Ombre.

At least that is my understanding. You just hear it a ton now because Ombre dyed fabrics are in.

Its a Filco Minila 60% mechanical keyboard with CherryMX Blue switches.

Man I like Filco, it's clean and simple. But that keyboard bothers me with it's layout; weird capslock, ctrl, enter, tiny shift key, a spacebar the length of my penis... oh wait what was I saying?... and WHY is that backslash there? Also I gotta have a tenkey.

Nonetheless you probably have the exact opposite opinion of me and I don't mean to degrade the worth of your purchase. Mechanical keyboards are awesome man and that keyboard looks slick, congrats!

I bought a $9 comb. Call me an idiot or whatnot but I was a skeptic at first, too. However, holding this thing in your hand and feeling the weight of it speaks out to you. This is no ordinary throwaway comb that you can buy a pack of 10 at the 99 cent store. This comb is handcrafted and makes you feel like you make a 6 digit salary.

I bought this silly thing because my lady friend convinced me it would actually be kinda fun to hang out in onesies, and it's winter soon. Not that anyone besides her is ever allowed to see me in it, for it would ruin my carefully constructed tough guy identity.


And I got her this one from ebay. I didn't pay for shipping on either of them, which I love.


I also bought this tie, because I needed a new one and this one was $12 from the same place as the onesie.

where did you get this? and if you don't mind, how much was it? I've been buying $12 onesies from Target for years, but i've been hunting for one without feet and with a hood for ages to no avail.

Romanian hemp, 6mm! My first rope. It's super soft and also happens to smell amazing. From our initial playing around, it seems to leave lovely rope burns for a couple hours without bruising afterward! I already need some more - the longest length I got is 8m, which is still a haaaaair short for some of the ties I'd like to learn.


Also some cologne!

They come with an assortment, but usually only one of the spring-loaded and one felt and the rest are standard hard ones. I use felt and am heavy-handed so I'm always stocking up.
