Lowlights from the 2006 Homie. 

CDROM handed to me after being found in a Nintendo Wii. Who filmed this?

François Gissy Bicycle World Record 207 mph 333 km/h

Because with a head of hair like this guy has, there is no other option than to hit 207 mph on a frame that is about as close to a bicycle as you can get with the crank arms swapped out for a fricking rocket engine.


Back in my younger days, I hit 61-mph on my road bike while descending a steep ridge road on O'ahu.  The pedals hit their resonance frequency and my feet were going numb from the vibration.  Combine that with a sharp turn I took a little wide and I'm lucky to be alive.  I try not to exceed 45 or so these days.

Nothing To See Here (unnamed.png)

Now on display until sometime in December, or sooner or later, but most likely later because Gene-O.  You know what I'm talking about.



Photos from at least 5-years! of the Homie.  Kelly MacWillaims (sic) is showing by the front door, and mine are hanging on the wood in the back.

Also being shown is a print from Hoss, who captured Zeigle crossing the flames of hell in 2012.

And while we're at it, don't forget to hit up the BareBones Halloween show again this year.  A highlight of the season, for sure:

Complaint in the death of and funeral information for Jessica Rose Hanson





TLDR: Witnesses to the hit-and-run were able to get a license plate number of the fleeing vehicle.  ABDIRAHMAN ABDI ALI confesses to hitting a person while driving on Pleasant Avenue, stating he was fleeing from being shot at, later telling his mother that he thought he hit a bicyclist.  The defendant is in custody.

Jessica's funeral is set for Thursday, July 11th at Zion Lutheran Church in Hoffman, Minnesota.  Visitation is July 10th from 4-7pm.

Rest In Peace, Jessica.  I did not know you, but from what I've heard from others, I'm sure I would have liked you.  I hope we can all learn something from this tragic and untimely death.

Late to the game, but in style

Ladies and gentlemen, Stan Beaver's alter ego shows us how choosy he is.  Classy and hilarious.  #JIF
