what has happened to this place?

I've been gone too long, i had no idea Steel was even sick.
I am so sorry for your loss he was a great guy.

Wow, you guys are all still here. Hi!

I'm at a coffee shop, and i started talking to some kind about RM2k.. and I thought of this place, and how much time i used to waste here.... god I miss you guys soooooooooooooo much.

bujiro where in cleveland are you again

I'm now staying in Parma, bleh, just last month i was living in Lakewood... which had an awesome CD shop called "My Mind's Eye."

here's some advice.

buy a new one.

 

Heh, I'm an oldbie... a long and hard oldbie.

cpt. Mew, I totally remember you from back in the old old days.

shit, june 14th, i will have been a signed up member of this community for 6 years, that is amazing, and even before that i was lurking this place and good old Don Migeul's (sp?) RPG Maker forums.

wow man, where does the time go?

I'm not particularly scared of death.  I used to be, but i grew an understanding that if i die, i doubt it will be the end of my journey through existence.  I mean i've experienced so much in my life that if i were to suddenly die tomorrow, i don't think i'd be to upset about it.  I mean, I've gained and lost so much.  I used to be very into heavy drugs, heroine being my fave for the longest time, so much so that i watched my "baby momma' to be" pass away from the same shit i was running into my arm.

I've also gotten to experience amazing things.  Meeting Down, Meeting pretty much every band that has come through Cleveland, Living in New Orleans (oh that was an amazing time) living in Tennessee (meh not so exciting, but i got to farm... YES FARM).

I've met interesting and mundane people.  I've eaten fine food, and then sheltered in cars and bus stations.

I've been through so much... and there is no possible way that death will be the end of it.

i'm certain of it.

i personally didn't like his humor, but i liked some of his social commentary to the extent that i respected him.  but i haven't read the paper, been on line, listened to the radio, or read the news paper for about two weeks...

and then this happens

fuck man.

drfunk... hello

i know i know.  I can't help it.

 hey guys, i've been inactive, as usual.  just making my rounds in here since i finally got internet access.

  don't tell  jeff

I remember you Maximo, Welcome bizzackle!

Jesus christ... r-r-RAST!?

if this was in person I'd dry hump your leg.

Why is every move Microsoft does construed as some sort of world conquering bid for power?  Google is just as powerful a corporation as Microsoft, but if it were google buying out Yahoo, no one would bat an eye.

because Google is trendy.

Look, honestly, i don't use Yahoo, at all, for a while, until they had commercials, i thought they were ago ready to collapse.  Microsoft is just doing a corporate motion, that's all.  they aren't some world dominator's, and even if they were, who cares, use google.

fellow magician

i wonder if they killed joker off in the end of dark night, because i seriously hate when they get new people to play the same old enemies... it never works right...

but other then what i personally feel

this sucks, he's dead, bleh bleh bleh.

gamecake, more like gaymecake.

actually, gamecake is a fucking awesome name.

take it easy, enroll in some art classes while you are away.

Doesn't have to hit the melting point to release hazardous particles, and any sort of scraping/scratches/tears will increase this. There's a reason they dont sell aluminum / plastic pipes. If you have access to metals you should be able to make a very simple steel or copper bat or pipe. Even someone without your knowledge of metals could easily buy a metal tube with a large opening at one side, and put a screen in it to make it a bat, or put a bend in it and make it a pipe. With your skills I'm sure you could could make a bong out of aluminum, and just make the stem out of a steel tube.

Oh no, I would never use anything from my shop to smoke out of at all, period.  99% of that stuff was cut with while coolants were being used on them, and coolants are PROVEN to cause kidney failure just by absorption through the skin (by small cuts, ect ect).  Hazardous vapors in kitchen grade aluminum are far to low to cause any damage at all, the grade of alloy they use on cans is much to refined for anything long term effects.  the only things that could cause any kind of "damage" would be the ink on the outer part of the can. 
When it comes to making pipes, most people usually only have house hold equipment, so i doubt they are going to run out to home depot or forest city and purchase metal piping just to smoke.

and they DO sell aluminum pips for kitchen wear for businesses, I know, because I've been renovating a coffee house in down town cleveland, pretty much EVERYTHING from table tops, to tubing is aluminum or alloyed with aluminum.   IT is honestly, quite harmless.  Nothing hazardous, like lead, would even make it near the market now-a-days, do to law suits, smokers could sue companies saying that the can never had a "DO NOT SMOKE FROM THIS" printed on them, thus cause a frivolous law suit.

Another point is you use Aluminum foil to cook baked potatoes in the oven, on some aluminum foil containers it actually has instructions printed on the box.  If the product was harmful, you would still be ingesting the same shit into your body, this time through your digestive system, instead of your lungs.

So honestly, stop freaking out about the home made pipes, seriously though stop being cheap bastards and go buy a real one, you only should use home made ones (using tin foil, cans, ect) if you are in a serious bind.

But, that is also why I always keep rolling papers on me as well.
