So ....

... it appears that all of the work that I have just done for the past few days is complete garbage

no ... I didn't do bad work ... it was just apparently done 3 weeks ago ... however, some incompetent manager that gets paid >400k/yr forgot to think about that when he reassigned the shti to me .... apparently his morning coffee or green tea or whatever the**** he drinks just didnt work for him that day

ok .. im done now


who else wants beer and wings tonight?

The GTP supercharged are no joke.... I lost a 30 - 100 roll with one. It was not stock but still

they take to big singles quite nicely .. save for the worse-than-garbage stock 2v heads that flow worse than a white boy in a dance contest
