Not all projects are cars....

Yeah, that's my foot. Shut it.

Two guesses where my bros went today....

I had to stay home and work with a new client. Yeah being responsible sucks.

My cool new couch and my very gay neighbor.

Yes meine bruders did me a solid and hacked the ASS off of a 54 Ford for my new couch project. Small city cycles was there and managed gay up the project a bit by rimmin and teabaggin the new piece of furniture...its going to require two hookers doing stuff on it that makes Marquis De Sade blush to properly cleanse it now.

You have to suffer for your art sometimes....

(Trixie and Candy are booked for Friday...)

Has to be done...

Yet another "KILL THE EVIL GERMANS" film...someone in Hollywood: get a clue.

A message to those who use "Nazi" and "German" interchangeably: Be careful how aggressively you attach labels to entire groups of people, like us Germans. Unlike the the NAACP, B'Nai B'rinth and any other number of anti-defamation leagues, we don't have bleeding hearts in the government making careers and committees to rescue Germans. We have an "N" word too but no one thinks before they throw it out. When I state the I am German, no less than 50% of the time, people throw out a Nazi salute jokingly. What if you said "yessa massa" when you talk to Africans or "ching chong" for every Asian? In those two cases, I bet you cringed at the idea of making fun, but making fucking fun of Germans seems OK and acceptable to you. Really think about that...the only protection that you are leaving for people of German descent is to embrace the Nazi label. No one thinks about that, because Germans don't go around bitching about growing up poor or in ghettos or how they have no opportunities. That's because we as a race of people can overcome anything indivdually but a prejudiced society and a corrupt government. In those cases, we tend to organize and show the world what we can do in large groups. You say that you hate Nazis? Look at your actions, how you talk and STOP MAKING THEM.

When the food chain is upset...so am I

None of these animals seem very fun to me. It makes me want a full auto 10 gauge shotgun, loaded with slugs with a 20 round drum magazine.

You voted for change, and you lost your dollars.

Does anyone else see the similarity between this picture and the Fed's problem solving to this point? Amateurish, inexperienced and shade tree way of fixing things, all the while probably bad-mouthing mechanics who actually have experience and know what they are doing... yeah they're the stupid ones.

Clowns to the LEFT of me....

Now this is a playset... Where the hell were toys like this when I was little? I may buy it on payday anyway... dig the wide whitewalls! HA!

Alles Gute zum Geburtstag and Stinko de Mayo!

HAPPY B-DAY to TINY! Here is the cake I had in mind, but APPARENTLY, someone already made one like it in the 1940's...oh well.

What happened to creativity?

I was listening to terrestrial radio the other day (a rare occurance) and I heard a catchy song. This is even rarer of an occurance. Somehow I recognized the lyrics and I knew what was coming next! What the hell? Low and behold it was Seether playing their cover of Careless Whisper. So while it was a nice treatment of an old song, it wasn't really new. Perhaps this is the curse of Generation X; we observe that the world around us is phoney and re-issued. It feels like every new idea has been used, and all frontiers have been explored. What happened to exploring space and trying to reach Mars? Will anything ever be made that is so amazing that people will say, "OH, I remember the internet... that was going to be a big thing." Will Cancer get the boot once and for all?

I am just sick of all it; being global and "connected". Perhaps this is just nostalgia for the days before the internet, but I hate and love it at the same time. I am tired of Europe commenting on our US politics and presidents. I dont like Police being relegated to chasing tail lights to generate revenue for the MOST MINOR of infractions. I actually know of a 38 in a 35 zone ticket written in the last month - I wish I was kidding. I am SICK of terrorists and teenage radicals - to me many of them are interchangeable. What a fucking cliche' too; OOH I am a bad ass teen anti-Bush "anarchist"or a teenage vampire on the internet, or I am an Anti-Christian atheist! Get a clue, buy a vowel, whatever, just grow up... that is an OLD RAP.

If you are truly anti-religion, then pick on Ghandi and Satanism and Paganism, Buddhism, etc. The fact is that you pick on Christians because they are easy pickings and you are a pussy. Want to prove you are what you say you are? Go up to the biggest Satanist you can find and tell him he is FULL OF SHIT. BE CONSISTENT. If they worship Satan, then that implies there is a god; you cant have one without the other- so they are different sides of the same coin. You wont do that because you are such a fucking pussy that you pick on JUST Christians because they are a religion that says "turn the other cheek" and love thy neighbor. Please save the cliche rhetoric about the fucking crusades because that is old shit. Get some new material. You are a vampire? Why dont you just avoid the sun and try and drink fucking blood and thats it. Watch your kidneys fail amongst other ailments inside of year, you fake ass loser. I guarantee you make a trip to 7-11 for undead nachos or something when no one is looking.

OH and I haven't forgot about you, Osama Bin Teenager. Wow. You are going to make a bomb out of some household shit, or shoot up a church with Grandpa's guns, or bitch about George Bush. I wouldn't care except you are following a long list of kids like you doing what is popular. Fucking OBAMA is such a fake, and where is your brave talk now? OH now you lost your balls and brave talk. He is doing SUCH a good job, what has he done other than LAUGH at mortgage holders on TV? Politicians all suck but you only criticize one party because pop culture has your back, right? On your own, you are silent. I can only hope your pipebomb goes off prematurely.

MAKE SOMETHING ON YOUR OWN THAT DOESNT SUCK.

Back from VLV

My friend Dave shot this picture to prove that I was indeed at VLV, and this was I believe Friday morning. 3 days and nights of Vegas was starting to take its toll. While 5 days in Vegas sounds nice, it is quite another thing to survive that long. Euthanasia seemed like a good idea by this point in the trip.

That's love of a shirt

A cool shirt is a cool shirt. Deny it, and you just look jealous.

Damn Vegas Monopoly

Taking the show on the road... VEGAS baby

Going to vegas for a week. Should be some cool pics soon...

Idaho..keep it up we'll make more.

BIAS PLY TIRES

Learn it and live it.

Boozefighters

I always liked this (staged I know) photo of the Boozefighters. What cracks me up is that Robert Patrick (the T-1000) is the President of a chapter!

Rainy day kustom driving

Driving our kustoms... on such a winter's day.

MY SIX FOUR

I was taking the Pontiac out for a spin and I parked on the driveway to open the garage door, when I noticed that my clearance is approaching zero on this car.

Perfect.

I LOVE One-Shot.

Look at this cool as hell old door is from a late 40's Ford pickup. This door is Tiny's pride and joy, hanging in his shop now. Some less-than-skilled individual had covered this beautiful work with nasty re-sale red paint and only as a test spray. People with out skills.....shouldn't. Anything.

My Hot Rod truck fully gutted this weekend...

Check the cool patina. I loved the faded sign paint on the door; quite a testament to one-shot.

Breaking News!

Small City Cycles is now open for business. Please go check them out: http://www.smallcitycycles.com/

Assid's real deal early 60's kustom Ford truck

Assid has been lusting over this barn-find truck for the good part of a year. The 53 Merc had to leave to finance the truck but it's a no shit "From the day" kustom truck and its shaping up nicely...

Negroponte, please.....

Strategies for surviving new gun "legislation"

Knowing that law abiding citizens (who don't live in Idaho obviously) will soon be unarmed, robbery and burglary will soon be on the rise. When this occurs, remember this tactic:

When you wake up in the middle of the night (unarmed) and you hear someone in your garage or trying to break in, call the police.

Their standard reply will be:

"We have no one in the area but we will send a car as soon as possible to your location."

This usually means, see you in 45 mins or so, if at all.

So wait one MAYBE two minutes and call back. This time say: "Hi I just called about someone trying to break-in to my house, well don't hurry now - I just shot them." and hang up.

This will net 3 to 4 patrol cars and maybe even a ghetto bird, if your local police own one, in short order; sometimes in seconds.

They will catch the idiot burglar RED HANDED and will probably ask: " I thought you said you SHOT him?"

Then your reply can be " I thought you didn't have any cars in the area?"

Have the courage to change...................your diaper.

This is for my sis in law

She LOVES that tune...especially on repeat.

I see why she is broke: Blackmail.

Janine James was sentenced to six months in federal prison in Oregon and ordered to pay about $300,000 in back taxes.

I wonder if Jesse says "Bullocks"?

Its late and I'm gonna .....

wait for it...

Back again.

Back in black. More content on its way, just..... not tonight.
