End-Of-Life Purchases

I read that and this is what comes to mind....

Given today's female fashion fad of fake, painted on eyebrows - this is where we are headed.

Looks like the headlight on the new Streetfighter.

Oh now I see what this thread is about. Ok here's one, my HoH Rawlings pro stock glove. I have the regular consumer HoH version but this one is the stiffer Horween version. I'll be 80 yrs old before this is fully broken in.

[BmillsSkier]

Wow that’s sharp.

I just want to stand in the outfield yammering stupid stuff to the infield while compulsively playing around with those overhanging stitches in my right hand.

[Timberridge]

I got that from the Rawlings rep. Each Spring they take a bunch of gloves down to FL and AZ to give to their sponsored pros to use. They always have some leftovers so I got that for $100. I have the consumer version which I bought at the baseball glove store, and it's same color and model but constructed differently. No welted stitch, different leather, way easier to break in, etc. Oh and cost me $225.

While the ECRC throws AA's at you from the bleachers?

That's upstate AF.

[BmillsSkier]

ECRC, and the Upstate, only tosses C-cells or bigger.

That AA shit is for Californians.

Speaking of wall rugs. My father-in-law who was still living the 60's in the 90's, had floor to ceiling blue shag carpet in his den. Not sure how that was attached but you could vacuum it with a power nozzle.

I was in a Canadian strip club once and they announced the next girl up was named Katrina Bush. Aptly named as her particular attribute looked like a hairpiece stuck between her thighs. One of patrons sitting next to the stage was inviting her over with $10 for what we all assumed was a closer look to see if this was real. Just as she thrust herself toward him he pulled out a lighter and tried to light her bush on fire. Needless to say the security detail removed him from the club and the DJ announced that any other patrons trying to light any of the ladies' private parts on fire would be dealt with swiftly and arrested.

sounds like Montreal.

POTD. Seriously, dying here.

Montreal was classier. Nice french girls or girls that pretended to be french. This was the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. It had a different vibe. The back story was my friends band just got done opening up for Honeymoon Suite and one of his band mates met this girl who it turned out worked as a waitress at this place and we ended up in this flea infested strip joint. It wasn't the kind of place that non- natives ended up in.
Later as I reflected on this incident it occurred to me that if she had used hair spray to tease this thing into shape the entire prank could have ended in disaster.

[BmillsSkier]

To be fair... aren’t both sides of Niagara still just the Upstate?

[Timberridge]

The money looks different. But socially similar. Until you get closer to Toronto. I think Hamilton is the transition zone... maybe a Canadian could weigh in here?

IIRC the girls can go full nude in Canada and in NY there were constraints if alcohol was served. This may have changed since.

[riser4]

I think part of the rules are that you can't call a physical location upstate if it is not within NY State borders. Socially, sure, I'll give you that. However that is dangerous because then misguided folks will start calling places like Alburg and Fair Haven "Upstate". We've already repelled NY's claim to our state once. Don't make us do it again.

Update. She died today. 19 years of service. I feel like I need to write a eulogy and send it to my
High schools newspaper.

I was given an HP12C in 1988. It still works but what is crazy is that it is on its original batteries!

I hope you continued to play drugwars for all 19 of those years.

I've been sneaking into your house and changing the batteries just to fuck with your head.

Zwilling chef knife...

Just dug this one up to echo this. Zwilling is making good on their lifetime warranty and is completely replacing our set of 9 knifes, after 16 years of abuse and neglect. The handles started breaking apart on ours to the point they were unusable. Sent them in, and about 6 weeks later they're shipping out a brand new set. I <3 companies that stand behind their gear.

[Core Shot]

There’s some irony in knives being an end of life purchase

[liv2ski]

Sounds like they will be with you until the end, so makes sense to me.

[plugboots]

Hmm. Sabatier knives still going strong, Ti road frame on its 3rd component set, etc.
I’ll add: Laguiole corkscrew, and Kitchen Aid mixer. Maybe the cuisinart food processor, but it’s only 25 years old, it could burn out?
