crappyjones123 Posted November 11, 2010 Report Posted November 11, 2010 Let me guess you nerds have some super special pencil sharpeners too My dad brought me an electronic sharpener when I was in maybe 3rd grade. Operates on 240v. I havent been able to something similar to it so back I was using staedtler wooden pencils (only way to go with wooden pencils btw) I was using that sharpner with a voltage transformer in our house. In fact my dad who uses only staedtler pencils is now using it in NYC. Greatest. Sharpener. Ever.
Wmcmanus Posted November 11, 2010 Report Posted November 11, 2010 Imagine that! An "Erasable" pencil... what will they think of next?
Nebby Posted November 11, 2010 Report Posted November 11, 2010 Nothin' but the finest for this professional... What's a good sharpener for those kinds of pencils? I got a cheap one but all it does is make a mess out of the pencil
mypasswordis Posted November 11, 2010 Report Posted November 11, 2010 My art teacher used to just use a blade or x-acto knife to sharpen pencils.
swt61 Posted November 11, 2010 Report Posted November 11, 2010 It's worked for me for 35 years. However, if you aren't that handy with the utility knife method, the best sharpener I've seen yet is also made by Keson... Unlike other sharpeners, you don't turn the pencil, you slide it back and forth.

Dusty Chalk Posted November 11, 2010 Report Posted November 11, 2010 And you thought I was kidding about whittling.
deepak Posted November 11, 2010 Report Posted November 11, 2010 A nice Hendrix oil painting for the listening room, 23x23" and on gallery wrapped canvas so it doesn't need a frame
swt61 Posted November 11, 2010 Report Posted November 11, 2010 Duggeh, be prepared to give that bed a full 30 days before your body adjusts. After that I bet you'll love it. Awesome painting deepak!
Duggeh Posted November 11, 2010 Report Posted November 11, 2010 I really hope that it'll do me well Steve, I've always had big problems getting to sleep (once I'm asleep, I sleep like a log) but I toss and turn and toss and turn like a wab being tickled before I finally fall asleep, which is why I always stay up until I'm fucking knackered. My current one is at least 10 years old (and replaced a slightly more bad about ten year old one). It arrived today, so I'll see how I get on tonight (it took ages to "inflate"). Love the Hendrix painting Deepak.
cetoole Posted November 12, 2010 Report Posted November 12, 2010 I am in the market for a new bed within the next month or so. Currently have a twin size (thus the reason for changing) select comfort, not sure what I want to replace it with yet. Thinking something like Tempur-pedic, but I really need to go try some things.
tyrion Posted November 12, 2010 Report Posted November 12, 2010 My brother in law bought one of the TP clones online and he is pretty happy with it. I was a probably half the cost of a TP. Most bed companies/stores gove you 30 or more days to try out a bed so it's hard to get it wrong.
boomana Posted November 12, 2010 Report Posted November 12, 2010 Plane ticket to Dallas for Christmas. I get to be around little kid joy for the holidays
HeadphoneAddict Posted November 12, 2010 Report Posted November 12, 2010 Bought a 2008 G35x with mild tint and stock wheels just like this one - with the new Michelin rubber it's lots-o-fun. Planning some snow tires if these don't hold up well in snow.

morphsci Posted November 12, 2010 Report Posted November 12, 2010 A little package from my friends at DrinkUpNY, who also threw in free shipping. Plus a little exploration of some liquors stores in Champaign.

Most bed companies/stores gove you 30 or more days to try out a bed so it's hard to get it wrong. Mine is a Sam's Club clone. 5 years and still as comfy as day one, and no divets developing, like with a spring mattress. Paid $500, so I feel pretty good about it. That new TP Cloud sure looks interesting though. Might need to go test it out. Nice ride Larry!
Aura Posted November 12, 2010 Report Posted November 12, 2010 Jim is some of that ridiculous haul making it to ChiLiquiFi?
