Since were on weird topic stuff. Theres a guy with two functional penises that did an AMA on reddit. The questions he gets asked and the way he responds to them are hilarious. Theres proof if you are curious.

I don't go on reddit. Someone wrote an article on it and it had the link to reddit.

i follow r/Lakers and r/NBA but only read headlines and watch highlights. Much less (Please Use More Appropriate Word) and draining than sifting through the GB and usually more updated than the Lakers board. Plus it only makes it into my top posts if it's important and I don't see things like "CAN WE GET LEBRON JAMES IN 2 YEARS!??!?!?!?!?!"

Bought myself a Gerber LMF II last year w/ a 5" blade primarily for backpacking:

Just cut up my entire christmas tree with it in <45 minutes including de-needling branches for a fire later (using one of the small fire pits). Thing clear cuts off branches in one shot and chops through thicker stuff in no time at all. Only got to use it in the winter to make kindling this year from logs. Can't wait to take it out this summer.

I bought a knife from the Bear Grylls collection when I used to camp around in Missouri. Quite a handy thing that really came to use when I was packing to move out.

Whoever is that son of a bitch who made the post fight interview can suck Floyd's balls.

Good fight but kind of lack luster. Floyd being Floyd and Manny being Manny.

That was a boring fight. Good thing I didnt pay for it. Mayweather won for sure. Mannyjust couldnt land any punches at the end.

12 people split the fight at our house @ $10/head. 60", HD, friends = worth

I did lose $10 on pacman though. Round 4 I made a bet - I won if draw or pacman won, buddy did if mayweather won.

Yeah if you have bros over and split the cost with booze + food that'd be totally worth it.

In other news I fixed a couple of flats on a kid's bike and all the yuppies around me think I invented light. :lol:

Speaking of bikes, my bike failed me last night while i was going to work. The damn crank came loose of the sprocket. Luckily I was headed downhill so I used the momentum to get there.
Just went to a bike shop. Its 30 to replace the part and about 20 for the manual labor.

Me and about 12 friends split the tab from last night. Fight+4 boxes of pizza+bottle of Sailor Jerry+bottle of Fireball+a couple cheap bottles of wine+pack of Coors+pack of Dos Equis+misc soda and chips=roughly $40 a person. Not too bad, can't say I was disappointed. Fight sucked, but the buzz was real.

Be thankful it's not Italian... My Campy crank is getting loose on my bottom bracket... That means the soft aluminum on the crank is getting too worn for the taper, which means, new crank and bottom bracket... Like $500 in parts. Call me Manuel.

the fight was practically an after party on the east coast. not sure on exact start time but ended around 1:30am - and a few people were getting up to run the half portion of the pittsburgh marathon early the next morning.
