If it wasn’t for $7 shipping, I’d buy that last one. A $7 BIN price for that tanktop is pretty stellar. And then add $7 more for shipping. BOOO. Great for my new gym look, though. Someone tell moonlightblue that $7 to ship a shirt is probably twice too much.
At the beginning of the year, my work cut the gym subsidy they had been providing for the last 7 years. It sucked. I went from getting free gym (or paid to go to the gym courtesy of a health care “healthy living” plan) to paying $49.95 a month. That sucked. They said they could do away with it because our complex has a free fitness center. Ok, it was free, and it wasn’t super trash. Think of it as one step up from Planet Fitness but with equipment from 20+ years ago. Most of you would shun it because the dumbbells only go up to 95 lbs, and there is not one curved barbell in the entire place. Mostly, older sales people from a different building use it to run on the ancient treadmills or super ancient stair masters. These people suck. Granted, there are two or three nice ladies, a couple of quiet, keep-to-themselves types, but it’s all overwashed by these 3-4 super douches. I think you know the type. It’s particularly worse in the gym. Imagine 4 dudes trying to one up each other in the gym, but each dude is super fuckin weak. Yeah. That means I have to wait while four dudes attempt to out pull up each other. Usually the young guy who can squeak out 6 pull ups wins. It’s just painful. And the banter is just awful.
Dude #1: “I was in Barbados last week and I did the best calf exercise ever. My calves still hurt. Let me show you.”
Dude #2: “I don’t need your exercises, my calves are excellent.”
Dude #1 calves look like deflated basketballs. Dude #2 calves look like rotton pumpkins. It’s not good.
So I’ve decided, I need to get these guys to clear back from me some. They don’t listen to words, as evidenced by the above exchange. So I’ve turned to wearing tanktops to the gym. I’m not saying I’m shredded. Because obviously, I’m not. But I do have chest tattoos, and that’s enough of a taboo for these old guys to think I’m “crazy.” Lately, they’ve been working like a charm. So if you’ve got size large tanks, let me know. I think I need some more. Shout outs to Sam Triple B and the Triple B Tanktop.

Seller jordanlightspeed wants at least 75 bucks for this Pushead “A Nightmare Takes A Nap” tee from his Kuro line. Which is a total bum out for me, since I got mine for like a buck from some store (House of Guitars? Cooch might remember, it was when we were on the A-team/Close Call tour) in Buffalo, where the tees were just in a giant pile on the floor like in one of those pay per pound Goodwill stores, and it was ripped down the back about 5 years later during a Think I Care set at the Cambridge Elks. I had cut out the front and pinned it to my wall for awhile, but it vanished when I moved from MA to NY. So I’ve been looking for a new one for awhile. Sadly, this won’t be the one. A shame, because it looks to be in really nice condition.
I dunno, but I can tell you what Al WOULDN’T do: use the bathroom at the Rat… from the Rat Facebook group:
The rat was a shitty dingy scum hole and all this glorification is just living in the past by a handful of fucked up scensters who think they were way cooler than their high school buddies. I say Blow it the fuck up along with Artie, Pastiche, Springa and the Wild Stares. I’d sooner share a large fry with Mr Butch than give this shithole and credence or anyone who hung around there any honors. The fucking place was the worse place to watch a band and I’d sooner listen to the Freeze then step into the Rat to take a piss if it was the last urinal in Kenmore Square.
Huge can of worms opened over there with the above post from Al, with the likes of Jonah from Only Living Witness and Jon Anastas going back and forth over whether or not The Freeze mattered for about a dozen posts. If you’re into seeing grown men snipe back and forth like bickering siblings, you’ve got a good read on your hands.
