    It was fat cats that stole his music and profited from it.  The government just stood by and laughed at him. 

    OK I went back and read it again.  Apparently the fat cats and the government officials were in-cahoots in the theft of his intellectual property.

    I've got a set of step in laws where when the woman goes on facebook posting about how fucking awesome her life is and how much she loves her husband, what she actually means is that he's beating the ever living shit out of her.  Absolutely the most toxic pair of humans I've ever met.  We've cut them out of all family events.

    How does step in laws work?  Your wife has 2 step parents that are married to each other?   Doesn't compute.

    I’ve only seen it a couple of times, but yes, it means the wife is wildly insecure and the guy has been castrated.  

    But if you ask this couple about it, they will tell you that shows how secure they are because they share everything and don't hide anything from each other.  Yep, uh huh.  Sure.

    That Mongoose is clean.

    Thanks.   The chrome on the frame and fork is pretty close to perfect.  It's the original finish.  Whoever owned it in the past must not have really rode it much and then stuck it in the attic for 20 years.   Got a really good deal on the frame and fork and then bought all other parts over time separately. 

    The 1984 GT Pro frame had been rechromed before I bought it.   Looks OK, but you can see some blemishes in the job.   I wouldn't have been happy with it if I was the one who took it to the chromer.   I got a pretty good deal on it after the fact so I can deal with the defects.  

  6. I love building bikes.  Besides these old school BMX bikes, I have 3 mountain bikes.  A 1994 Klein Fervor,  a Specialized Stumpjumper hardtail and I am building a Trek Top Fuel 9.9 right now.  I'm just waiting on a Thomson seat post and a chain I ordered in Wednesday and that bike will be complete.

  7. Yes!  A thread about one of my hobbies!  I currently have 3 old school BMX bikes that I've built in the last 8 years.  They hang on the wall in my computer room at home.  When I was a kid I got a 1981 Schwinn Scrambler 36/36.  Then when the freestyle craze hit, I got a 1985 GT Performer.   

    Anyway, here's the 3 I currently have....

    1st one is a 1984 GT Pro

    2nd one is a 1983 Mongoose Californian
