Watto's Junk Yard / Re: How's the weather?
« on: January 11, 2006, 12:39 AM »
Talk about weird. Our lows at night are 2 or 3 degrees above our normal highs for this time of year. The end is nigh.
In the Steelers Bengals game it was in the 60's at game's start out in Cincinatti which they should be getting pretty much the same ****** cold weather and snow we should be getting, just a day earlier, so what's up? I want my snow so I can feel normal right now. I'm sick of this hovering between cold and warm, then my knees, back, fingers, teeth, and every other part of me in aching pain because of this weather imbalance.

Customizing Tips and Tricks / Re: Clone Pilot helmet
« on: January 10, 2006, 11:45 PM »
I'm not sure what you're asking about casting it exactly... If you want to cast it, you just do, but at the same time you'll be working with a very delicate hollowing project nonetheless.
If you're meaning casting a hollow cast of the head, it's possible with the right equipment or with the right experience in doing it by hand. With patience and such you can create incredibly thin, hollow casts, and do so by hand, but it takes patience and practice. 2-part molds to do hollow items tend to be tricky, but they're possible... It's de-airing the cast that's going to give you fits.

Star Wars Action Figures / Re: Customs by Darth Delicious-update Tuesday 1.10.06
« on: January 10, 2006, 11:40 PM »
I'm gonna comment on the last update DD and try to get to the others in time. I'm just not as involved in customs critiques as I had been as of late. Just too much on my plate.
The Krell is really a nice figure and while I'm not sure of his original design (is he EU or fan fic?) I think the shoulder poncho from the one GI Joe figure looks great. You covered up the Cobra emblem on it really well too which is really the key... That's a wartorn soldier though, definitely quality work and of course with just the right ammount of battle wear. Probably my favorite of the 3.
As for the Galactic Marine, I don't know what to tell you on the legs either. I'm not sure what their knee plates look like. Are they Snowtrooper plates? If that's the case I think they'd be easy enough to duplicate using styrene scraps. ALways worth keeping around... The figure seems like he needs some weathering too, nto sure if you're holding off on that till you finish the legs though either. The helmet looks really accurate though at the lenses, nice work, and the red's just right too.
The red Commander's repaint is really nice... I'm curious why you chose to repaint a Evo Clone in favor of just a repaaint of the #33 though? The battle damage looks great though,a s always, and spices the figure up where it should be.
Another great round of Clones but Krell's the best, I like the cut of that one's jib.

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: 12/16/05... Stern's Wrapping Up
« on: January 10, 2006, 09:14 PM »
Natural on one hand, unnatural for a few...
For instance, Sal (the stockbroker) was f this, c that, etc... A real dip**** with the swearing and it went overboard. Howard regulated him because it was too much. Howard regulated himself because he didn't want it to be unnatural but he has been swearing here and there. Sometimes slips out, sometimes it's what he wanted to say, and it's not bad at all. His first day I think he barely swore at all.
Artie's sorta going all out with swearing but it sounds right coming from him because that's him. If you've seen his stand-up, it's foul, and Artie's foul, so Artie talking foul on the show is natural.
Robin's good... I haven't heard her swear yet that I can think of off hand.
Richard Christy's been surprisingly good. Better than Sal.
Benjy I haven't heard talk yet.
Fred doesn't talk, but hasn't sworn much either when he has spoken.
Ba Ba Booey has said, at worst, "**** happens" I think. He's been alright...
It's really a natural flow of things. I'd say you get more swearing out of the public than anyone, and I think with them it's natural too. I mean I know I swear a bit, and turn it off when appropriate, but do incorporate it into my normal speech fairly routinely just because that's me.
The show's been great... George Tekae (sp) is fan-frickin'-tastic though, and I am hoping he becomes a fixture. That guy rocks it. He's the best thing for the show since Stuttering John quit, serioulsy. He's just amazingly funny, quick witted but has class and stuff so he doesn't always get the jokes but then does and jumps in with his own stuff... He fits right in with the crowd there ultimately, and keeps up with them, adds his own thoughts... I love that guy, and his voice just has you laughing every time you hear him add something.
The show's great, and they've been making fun of DLR in a very classy manner. Like in a way Roth can't counter it without really looking like a massive tool in the process.
They played a really funny prank call on Roth today from this other DJ Howard brought over (Bubba the Love Sponge?) to Roth, and it just basically ripped Roth a new one throughout and the moron either didn't get it, or he's so pathetically lame that he got it and took it thinking who he was talking to was an important person. I love it!
This was worth the price... Josh, I got the Starmate, it's very cool. I have the home kit, and I'm hoping they develope a walkman technology, however they're saying you'll be able to stream the show from your phone instead of doing walkman technology and basically you'll only need the car kit (came with it) and the house kit, and then use your cellie to stream it like if you have a class or some such. If you have an office just picking up a 2nd home kit is easy enough.
As far as mounting my antenna, that's not a bad idea Jared, I may look into that. My buddy's jeep he has his mounted to the rollbar, and he gets signal, so I'm not sure you can't necessarilly get signal inside a car (Jesse), but I'm just gonna have to tinker around and try some things. I'm really reluctant to have htis on my trunk, I keep thinking someone will steal it.

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: 12/16/05... Stern's Wrapping Up
« on: January 10, 2006, 02:28 AM »Been meaning to pick up a reciever for today, but have been finding that 99% of the hardware is junk. Like K-mart quality stuff compared to XM kits. I've had a hard time finding one that fits my needs.
I've had XM for a couple years now and love it, but would gladly switch so I can tune into Stern. It's too bad that Sirius has such poor hardware partners that making the switch is nearly impossible.
I'm not totally sure I follow you Jared, but I'm not wise on much of this stuff... I got a receiver and a car kit and that was about all I needed. Looks and sounds great... I'm wishing I had a walkman I could like plug it to or something though because I'd like it for at school when I'm there. Not sure how I can do that.
As far as today's show I've caught it a couple times today/tonight now and that alone is great... I wasn't always up early enough to catch the old show.
Today's show was fantastic though... Lots of glitches early on, still ironing out technical kinks because that's just to be expected. Stern actually was on twice over his downtime trying to iron them out early and there was basically just little 3 hour test runs of the show that were really funny unto themselves.
They announced what the things were that the staff were to reveal today... Great stuff, though some really seemed like it would be a letdown if tied to certain members of the show. One of the revealed items was that someone cheated on their wife, someone had plastic surgery too, and another one was that someone has a half-sister that they don't care to know... Also someone paid for an abortion at one point in their life.
They didn't say who's revelation belonged to who though, that's tomorrow, but I'm curious now... A lot are saying Stern's the one who cheated, and now that makes me curious. That'll actually change my view of him completely if it is true.
There were some things revealed I really don't want to get into here, but suffice it to say, there's some disturbing stuff and it belongs to one of them... Some of it was just gross and I could see it coming from a couple of the staff just because it's how they are all the time and not really revealing a whole lot.
The press interviews were funny... Stern took all questions, including hostile ones, and retorted with a lot of funny stuff...
Anyway, as far as this goes my Sirius has been a great gift besides Stern... The comedy channel Raw Dog is worth it alone, but there's lots of music channels too. I'm not a big music guy though so I'm hardly good to ask for an opinion. Lots of talk radio though, both sides of the fence, and the Stern channels are really enough for me to enjoy. I like the news, the roundtable shows, and now that the regular show is here I'm glad I can listen to it almost any time. I'm having fun.
I just gotta figure out how to get this in my car because there's an antenna thing and I have a conertible... It's not easy to figure out where I need to put the antenna as I don't want it on my trunk really. My buddy has a jeep and put it on the roll bar. I'm trying to figure if I can mount it inside to the roof bracing so it'll move with the roof, I dunno. I really don't want it on my trunk lid though really.
