Big Idea # 5,012: Learn to Sail the Open Waters

This new documentary chronicles the exploits of four young punkers who bought a boat, got it "seaworthy," learned to sail, and set off into the open waters. Many readers of this blog have had some epic trips and seen some crazy shit but this ain't a pissing contest so zip up your trousers.

These kids get props for pulling off a hell of a stunt and the doc really conveys how close to the edge they were at times, as well as that feeling of getting well outside your comfort zone and just trusting that you were going to make it out alive—and hopefully with some great stories.

The monotony and toil they experienced almost all hours of the day reminded me of cycling across country. What sounds like an idyllic jaunt down blue highways was what felt like almost constant work. Wake up before dawn, cook breakfast, ride, take a break and cook lunch, ride for a few more hours, set up camp and make dinner, pass out and repeat. I wouldn't trade that experience for anything and as bad as watching tornados closing in on your little boat in open water must have been I'm sure they'd do it all over again.

octoBEERFEST

Hey kids, this Saturday is BEERFEST! I know you been putting 'em back all year, drowning sorrows and celebrating the good times; well now you can have your cake and eat it too! Celebrate Beerfest at my place Saturday night, October 16th, and be sorrowful all day Sunday.
We're locking the liquor cabinet, securing the breakables, and supplying the barf bags. Got a fresh keg of Drake's IPA to quench even the deepest thirsts. Doors open (loud music, drinking, mayhem) at 6:00. Beerfest screening at 7:00. Will provide greasy pork sandwiches served on dirty ashtrays. First come, first served.



Throw on your beer goggles and come celebrate. Special prize for big winner, but you gotta beat F + K's tie at the last Beerfest (4 forties each).

A Comforting Thought For Boys

Next time you're laid up and need a catheter you'll be staring into these understanding, loving eyes while that polymer tube slides up your peehole. Rest easy gents, from here on out you are in good hands.

And ladies, he's taken so stop dreaming about what he might do to your holes.

Congrats Moot.

Wonderwagon!

I've been through a number of vans. Seen some good ones come and go. Love 'em or hate 'em, the Toyotas are keepers.

Me and the family posed for this ad back in '87. How was I supposed to know I'd still be rolling deep twenty three years later?

…designed for active families on the go. More spacious than a station wagon, Wonderwagon drives like a car, turns on a dime.

Got the current whip with 113,000 miles on the dial from the original owners. No doubt it was born to run.
