It became a tableau of how the shows went overtime for the four of us in our room, but from my spot on the left I typically took over most of the board. I've done my best to keep them in chronological order. Now try to guess where I stopped giving a shit.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Yogi Bear</b></i></div>
<br />
For context, whenever the phrase "Good things come in bears" comes up, its referring to this.<br />

If you don't see why this is comment worthy, just replace the phrase </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Good things come in bears" with "Take a dick in the ass".</div>

As of until now me and Aaren had been working on the costumes at his apartment. Although he was planning on moving out, he still had the place till July 8th which had an empty room and a porch where we can work freely and not be too concerned about the mess. <div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnFJByNTsQXs6yfOY58L4ZTfgcgwiSQXocv1ObbEgkG0vad-T8ql03fSAJBMuiwygRkXa7TuRQlSAKOgxyN1DTf7bG0lhn1dVZIuVmeo7TevHgSMcsB795oz7PfhbJ1YpwJMxyB1x5Pb0/s400/workshop2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491760731080443410" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 320px; " /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">"Why does it smell like dead cat in here?</span></i></span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">"</span></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div>Two days ago (6th) we came to work/start moving things out when we found a disturbed home. Windows and cabinets open, lights on and more importantly Aaron's rifle and shield were damaged, yet the door was locked and secure. At the time I had two conclusions; either maintenance had come in for a inspection and had shown greedy hands, or Aaron's ex-roommate had done it. Aaron himself came to the same and hinted at a third, that I had done it. I hate to think I had done anything to deserve his questioning eye, but he eventually settled on it must have been Sam since he had come back to the apartment while we were away previously. That, and maintenance had no reason to be in the apartment.</div><div><br /></div><div>We work, I take home some tools and my skill saw, and call it a day. Come the next day (7th) we come home to a roomier apartment. Two bikes that Aaron had were missing along with my tool box, drill, drill bits, and digital camera. Essentially anything that had value was gone. It was at that point we called the police, it was 6:40. The most peculiar thing though was something new was in the apartment. A ladder with BRE sprayed on the side. Aaron lives in a complex recently renamed the <a href="http://www.brealessio.com/AlessioHome/Home.aspx">Alessio</a>. A property managed by BRE properties. Maintenance <b>WAS</b> in the apartment.</div><div><br /></div><div>We immediately went to the facility security, which composed of two guys canvassing a property holding about 1000 people. From there we learned little, and what we did learn, only proved to be more aggravating. After being bounced around several people, and trying several dead end phone numbers, we finally reached someone who could contact maintenance, the security manager. When asked though, they both said they had not been in the apartment. We asked if we could be allowed to look in the maintenance room, to which we got a "No", we asked if we could look at the security tapes we got "Ive been here all day and I'm about to go home". All we had was "We will settle it tomarrow". </div><div><br /></div><div>7:00pm</div><div><br /></div><div>At that point all we could do was wait for the police and make a list of what was missing, which turned out to be worth about $2000.</div><div><br /></div><div>7:30</div><div><br /></div><div> We called the police again to make sure they are coming. </div><div><br /></div><div>...</div><div><br /></div><div>8:30 </div><div><br /></div><div>we call again....</div><div><br /></div><div>9:30 </div><div><br /></div><div>we call again....</div><div><br /></div><div>10:30 </div><div><br /></div><div>Finally an officer arrives and we start filling paperwork and he leaves followed by us. Only then do the answers finally start coming through. The officer who most likely got the numbers from the staff that remained, reached the maintenance workers who were on duty that night and got them to admit they were there and also had our stuff in a "storage locker". But being so late, the matter could only be solved the next morning.</div><div><br /></div><div>Although I was not there to enjoy the full extent of the interaction of Aaron-Management-Maintenance, I do know things happened. Firstly, it was revealed that management had told maintenance to go in to the apartment because they believed it to be now then vacant. Because to them when Sam moved out, he represented the group as a whole, and that is a fact that stands even though Aaron and Joy(Aaron's girlfriend) made sure it was clear that they both were still living there. Secondly the theft of their stuff, our stuff, we completely our fault. Thats when the things happened.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgjtBdXGPCkNQLnqL-IswrPd3tUkIBBb65s8q9ZquM6YYZP9ebTIgS7TNLgmQPnCmtvv5rC924kT8jguOPYBccqTfnp6IbRhAmx0w9RtR_bMiHDUaR6P2rPWhTUDmSZ2xKx4c9B1PEHk0/s1600/last-night-things-happened-LST065389.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgjtBdXGPCkNQLnqL-IswrPd3tUkIBBb65s8q9ZquM6YYZP9ebTIgS7TNLgmQPnCmtvv5rC924kT8jguOPYBccqTfnp6IbRhAmx0w9RtR_bMiHDUaR6P2rPWhTUDmSZ2xKx4c9B1PEHk0/s400/last-night-things-happened-LST065389.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491761470691926082" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px; " /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">This is the first thing i get when I search "things happened".</span></i></div></div><div><br /></div><div>By <i>things</i> I mean <i>ballistic shit</i>, and by <i>happened</i> I mean <i>happened</i>. Aaron was in a new platitude of pissed off and I cant blame him. The people at the facility simply wanted him to reach higher and higher. But despite being on the verge of nearly getting arrested we got back our stuff, most of it. They left some stuff behind and Aaron has the pleasure of trying to pry it from them again.</div><div><br /></div><div>So it was mostly managements fault, not maintenance. But several contradictions arose when conversing with maintenance. </div><div><br /></div><div>- Initially he denied being in the apartment, only confessing after the police had started asking the questions.</div><div><br /></div><div>- Initially he claimed the items were in a storage locker (that no one else knew about) but later that locker turned out to be the maintenance room. So why didn't he say maintenance room?</div><div><br /></div><div>-Even after admitting to being in the room and taking the stuff he was steadfast about not being there the previous day. Yet in conversation he revealed that he saw my scroll saw in the apartment, which was there only the day before.</div><div><br /></div><div>So here is my algebra. Management tells maintenance to go into the room to clear it out because their weegee board tells them they can. Maintenance on the first day comes in to find an apartment with allot of neat toys which they think are fair game. they are careless with Aaron's gun but don't take anything because they were not prepared for the find. The second day they are prepared and take as much as they can. If there is any policy for found items they do not heed it and take as much as they can hold and bring it home with them. If anyone asks, they would deny, as they did, that they took anything and that the door must have been left unlocked or it was a false theft claim. And it was a good plan, they had reasonable doubt on their side, and there was no real proof that they were even there..... except for the ladder. The police officer probably played this card when asking and also revealed that someone was coming in for fingerprinting. At that point Mr. maintenance does remember the apartment and that the stuff is in a storage locker/his garage for safe keeping. The following morning he comes in early and moves everything to the maintenance room and then plays dumb.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw286QUsSmQ1ElAvfiArFT5Khu4xnwgmXgVcJtTBnC1F3Fl80Q0T8gZPWY4SPWfsiuJRwgQv8e5mCG4BV-xuaEv68ppcLWHmNg2IKMII4RXpoZmscLAaoDb0PDIHmpWdgHIH17rrYYyeA/s1600/BRE-logo-2-2004_0-575x405.gif"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw286QUsSmQ1ElAvfiArFT5Khu4xnwgmXgVcJtTBnC1F3Fl80Q0T8gZPWY4SPWfsiuJRwgQv8e5mCG4BV-xuaEv68ppcLWHmNg2IKMII4RXpoZmscLAaoDb0PDIHmpWdgHIH17rrYYyeA/s400/BRE-logo-2-2004_0-575x405.gif" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491768583145915602" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 282px; " /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgjtBdXGPCkNQLnqL-IswrPd3tUkIBBb65s8q9ZquM6YYZP9ebTIgS7TNLgmQPnCmtvv5rC924kT8jguOPYBccqTfnp6IbRhAmx0w9RtR_bMiHDUaR6P2rPWhTUDmSZ2xKx4c9B1PEHk0/s1600/last-night-things-happened-LST065389.jpg"></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">be robbed, be harassed, be on the phone with the popo.</span></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">So that was my Wednesday night, how was yours?</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4192324228663727644.post-29167611011387388882010-06-29T22:10:00.000-07:002010-06-29T22:44:49.338-07:00Till Further Notice<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUN-ZViqXKGibVNXR2qhyjufezn5kZlNIllEM1zNDnygvR2WChNVSjpAS6U1sBx_5S_xYA9WZ5dS8sHOs8XbI6LDLI7-C2bxzojQZsyin8suP8v-YJ_k5prOJEtJ3wQUOmDM-crMVE9Ts/s1600/overreacting.jpg"></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI4ckA2ZfGPO0u73Fb0LIYu_ktZpGGP7dge3JXevhO71cA0vBk5V0pLETVtdBR6BBIL3aae1nr4NXKp1oOtfv6B8iULEo0MhDEhfWNvl4kuv5p_EcwhuT-SBZZ3r3QSMpkTM2uMnlkOSM/s1600/yogix.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 226px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI4ckA2ZfGPO0u73Fb0LIYu_ktZpGGP7dge3JXevhO71cA0vBk5V0pLETVtdBR6BBIL3aae1nr4NXKp1oOtfv6B8iULEo0MhDEhfWNvl4kuv5p_EcwhuT-SBZZ3r3QSMpkTM2uMnlkOSM/s320/yogix.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488435962262762514" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: left;">I have removed the colorful cartoon depictions of Yogi Bear that I have made. Although they were made to be humorous while have no correlation to the story or style of the movie., there was a chance that the wrong people may take offence.

Probably because I'm a little bored with it because its just a box. But I have most of the pieces cut. I just need to sand the main box and then add the rings around it. the most difficult part of the pack will be how the tank attaches.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPBp7SZ3Quce3IFnbg4Ntmwu7VkszzfetIz32zNSHos7cJtTHpt7pdIIeteMwkvGKBToBX1rX8xM-VNTD5PgUzDo1ov_k2d-RC7pLu2oDUtSbYiyXJuG-NV4vaXPfwqNdTnZYLJ94TlRU/s1600/tank+ring.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPBp7SZ3Quce3IFnbg4Ntmwu7VkszzfetIz32zNSHos7cJtTHpt7pdIIeteMwkvGKBToBX1rX8xM-VNTD5PgUzDo1ov_k2d-RC7pLu2oDUtSbYiyXJuG-NV4vaXPfwqNdTnZYLJ94TlRU/s400/tank+ring.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488092431874153762" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 330px; " /></a>Sintra, the plastic I use for the box, reacts to baking and boiling, during which it becomes soft. Once its cools it retains the shape it was left in. Thats what I plan on using for the tank ring but the slight slope of the tanks sides make it a little harder than just using a long enough piece of sintra. Due to the shape change the top portion of the band will be longer than the bottom, so I will have to counteract that by adding a slight ark to the cut out piece. Which will require a lot of trial and error.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4oRe3Ui1SQFasjZ1LghkCy3X2dXza0CHp3yUU3-bLCLZx041nQhJrXBJWaVPo2NhMq10nEf9r-7620mSIYgDO9pG58_htBN50NU941sl_jRwN3ut9UUVLy9sIMyRZNx5Ktgai9I85Fq0/s1600/medic+gun+small.jpg"></a><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4oRe3Ui1SQFasjZ1LghkCy3X2dXza0CHp3yUU3-bLCLZx041nQhJrXBJWaVPo2NhMq10nEf9r-7620mSIYgDO9pG58_htBN50NU941sl_jRwN3ut9UUVLy9sIMyRZNx5Ktgai9I85Fq0/s1600/medic+gun+small.jpg"><img style="text-align: left;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 239px; " src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4oRe3Ui1SQFasjZ1LghkCy3X2dXza0CHp3yUU3-bLCLZx041nQhJrXBJWaVPo2NhMq10nEf9r-7620mSIYgDO9pG58_htBN50NU941sl_jRwN3ut9UUVLy9sIMyRZNx5Ktgai9I85Fq0/s400/medic+gun+small.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488083571290084434" /></a></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYZCeks1Ew-Q4kPmKZ3XU7HDkX_6KFHl5VI9kCE8RgcZXMznrkY5M1qEwRm8nVi5jg7sB5sSYIu5JhULmL-vpaG2JLRBFwQsjXMh2KxKOsv523L0WAYFJSPoRvMz4ZEvmQ2Dd4FFhgmYg/s400/gunall.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488085485593987618" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 231px; " /></span></div><div><div style="text-align: left;">The gun I have devoted more time too and it is slowly coming together. Its mostly sanding thats left before painting. This time I just flat out ignored PVC tubing. If I am to be true to the design, I need a lot of odd sized tubing and there are few to little options in PVC. With the original medic gun and backpack I made concessions to the design so I could use PVC for certain parts, which in the end I think made me unhappy with the outcome. I also think that PVC is hard to shape and cut properly if you do not have the perfect tool for it. So as of now the gun is 100% MDF which is working wonderfully. I also plan on putting LEDs inside for a little razzle dazzle.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9g10MSVXVy0rmELY-oK4p2XOpMTmuMdNVHFUrqjl2DQzxdI6N2HJYRZYYjoS97poKIQP0p4s-cfqDFlebJCFTXzUNQN5C-RqxkPTfKgdJryRUkEk5910tfsbJKqfYs_OcwxPYI1ymac8/s400/tank.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488090346540837538" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px; " /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;">To get all the rounded and canister shaped parts required for the gun I cut a bunch of rings to the right size and glued them together. The result is sturdy and responds extremely well to sanding if thought out properly. Example:</div></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy5CaCyNBKmUTlgMrbb2fNIp0XywrQo5MgF0EreOiwJQfNqE57_cFedQcc0FR6jnXP-deFiKwbsHV0swldklqMfGlJlQWw89Ld6f67gpN7yCv6f8lyTzcLLk2_2yiJh929jC9HqPjdRiI/s400/muzzle2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5488088681189693218" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 298px; " /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; ">This is the muzzle of the gun. From the full gun image several steps above, you may notice it has two tongues coming out of the top and bottom. To shape it into a smooth rounded shape I would have to get rid of the rings so I can get sandpaper all around it, then add them on after. Simply cutting the tongues out with a curved bottom so I could directly glue them on would work.

The problem with the current one is that its fragile and dents easily. It is made out of shaped foam and coated with wood putty. I made the foam core too close to spec so the wood putty is only a thin shell. If I made it out of a bunch of MDF rings I would get the strength, and if its hollow I could save on weight.

The idea of Yogi being remade has struck a cord amongst many who watched the cartoon back in the day and think that a re-imagination of it will pollute the memory of the original, but then again what else is new. Remakes are being spit out at a fever pitch and will be for some time. But then there is the plus side to it that the old curmudgeons seem to neglect when they are screaming "Back in my day!". </div><div><br /></div><div>Yogi bear is an old cartoon, as in 1950/60's old, and the one thing that seems to not be faltering in originality is children's Saturday cartoons.

Alvin and the Chipmunks 2 won the kids choice award of 2010. Say what you will about the movie, but kids adore it, in the exact same way you odored (insert hanna barbera beloved classic) when you were their age. Alvin is not as old as yogi but already the cloud of obscurity was looming above it as the children that watched it age and turn grey (which includes me). These remakes ,which many scoff at, give the old beloved classics a foothold in the current generation. It creates a hungry audience for those old classics and it saves them from the shelves for just a little while longer.

Also he happens to be doing a much better job of working on his stuff and getting it done.<br /><br /><a href="http://arprops.blogspot.com/">http://arprops.blogspot.com/</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4192324228663727644.post-6461844353536926412010-06-04T18:33:00.000-07:002010-06-07T10:28:00.011-07:00Stop looking at my Moobs!<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Funny thing happened today....</div><div><br /></div><div><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEillGSM1clodJj5zO-iAWG6ShLlw5wGA0eNAUn7jES6AJv-0Lr3BkC-R_4ETpCTelRhMsd0yqpNSdQ_sBWIkUxIX7Gl7q-7Js91kX-5HTBaj2LsMbedR-Mu5o8sicahlkIgtDLsi6jVb5k/s400/attention.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 367px; height: 360px;" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479099231411238978" border="0" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-small;"><i>waaaaaaAAAAAAHHHH!??</i></span></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Its not every day that the eye's of the internet bare down on you<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">.

Its not a original idea, no, but we both wanted to do it right. Put in the right key words and you can find mountains of attempts at the costume, but most... come up short. We wanted to get the costumes as close as physically possible to the actual designs.<br /><br />And thanks to a generous friend and awesome photographer, Alex <span dir="ltr" id=":181">Tkatcheva</span>, we have some kick ass photos to show for it.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwf9drlNQNignJd0DoXzJoUPuMpjnNR_ZsoIwse6WsbZ7tgkIuX94gNVFU9eXUi8q4Bs_dYrjxO9rp7a9-lY7PDVblG4tFIL2AJp_91nkfBpkLCfNCOPAVsmjvvMiVMHOL6Oph3hHd7kY/s1600/05.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

I also had a little medical incident recently which means I periodically have excruciating abdominal pain, which I was enjoying for about half the photos we took (whats above is only a small portion of the photos we took.). So blahh.

That, combined with a side project that I became part off, ensures I will not be standing still for quite some time. As of now its 12:48, and I feel ruined.

It is not the typical car you see on the highway being a hatchback and sufferes from none of the cheap faults I often cite in other cars (ford,GM,...). In short, I like the car. And despite how much I wanted to punch that kid in the face, I'll quote him, "Zoom Zoom!". And its manual! Problem being I cant drive manual.<br /><br />So I need to buy car, train myself in ways of said car, all so I can drive car across the nation with my most prized possessions, in a matter of two weeks.<br /><br />Hey did I mention it has a leather interior?!<br /><br /><br /><br />Now all the fine details are boring no matter how much sarcasm I spritz over it so I'll sum up everything up till departing day:<br /><br />-Begin training on stick<br />-realize I don't like stick. Consider it as an awkward relic of a begotten time that only Jesus could park properly on a gradient.<br />-realize stick is alright<br />-Buy car<br />-Realize ill probably die in this car because i stalled t on train tracks.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:78%;">Continued in part three</span><br /></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4192324228663727644.post-22768271102600314832009-08-06T00:30:00.000-07:002009-08-06T00:33:21.463-07:00FJORG!A bunch of friends went to Fjorg to kick ass and chew bubblegum.
