Yes...hahaha! He's no longer on our shift anymore, only because at the time we had a shortage of operators. It wasn't related to that night. LOL!

Can you imagine if HR called you in to address "this matter"

It reminds me of a story in the news where a guy was working a late shift watching pinatas and security footage caught him boning one. His excuse was that he was set up because they put holes on the pinatas to tempt him. These holes were to fill it with candy. I will try and find the story.

Oh shit! That's hilarious!!!

I remember I heard a story of some guys at Walmart picking up and talking about the My Little Pony. Someone supposedly overheard them saying that you could see the My Little Pony's cameltoe. The people in this world.

It's something about Walmart that brings it out of people.

What up Kuh! I can't wait to see the custom buddy. I am trying to get my office back set up. Hopefully I can crank some out soon.

What happened to the office? What customs are you thinking of working on first? I’ve been working on some stuff for another tanker but updated a Sunbow Flint in the process that is almost ready

The guy was ejected through the broken windshield, still got up and was walking, and the girl driving had not one scratch on her. The girl in the passenger seat busted the back of her head through the back window and had her arm literally twisted with her bone sticking through her flesh. We're also emergency response personnel so we responded and provided emergency aid. The cab of the truck smelled horrible. I've never smelled synthetic marijuana before but that smell had us saying, that's synthetic marijuana! They looked fucked up. While we were controlling the bleeding from her arm and picking the glass out of her scalp and neck the guy took off. This was 2 in the morning and the levee road is a straight 2 miles long with nothing but a river running parallel to the road on one side and marshlands on the other side. Alot of wild pigs, coyotes and bobcats run around that levee but that guy didn't give a fuck. He bolted! Come to find out, the cops later found out the two girls were 14 and that guy was 32.

I stored everything away and cleared it for a spare bedroom. (Insert joke here). After my last run of my non released modern era project I decided to take a much needed break.

I burned myself out and wanted to get more serious with my work outs.

I got requested a commision custom today, so it's funny you come around today and ask about it. Maybe it's a sign to get back into making customs.

I pretty much have done every Joe figure I wanted to do so I plan on making original characters. I also gotta do Dr. Jennings, but I don't have the parts yet.

[kuh_rupht]

I can respect and understand devoting time to working out. I was in the same boat preparing for my fitness test but I’m taking a little holiday break then I’ll hit it hard again right after New Year’s.

What figure are you commissioning? And yes it’s a sign to start again, haha.

I was thinking about some original figures ideas too but to be honest I’m not as creative as I’d like to be when it comes to character design. What’s your technique? Do you come up with a backstory then create the figure or do make a figure then see where it takes you?

Yup. That video was great! The race with the Porsche, the tug of war with the f150, it was great. Also the breaking window was a fantastic move on their part as it generated TONS of free publicity, and the window only spiderwebbed, the ball didn’t go thru like it would on a normal window, so it still proved to be stronger than a regular truck.

[Rangeviper88]

I disagree with the window breaking being a publicity stunt for free publicity. That is just the way it is being spinned.

Yes it did generate tons of publicity, but this is not the type of publicity a company would want.

Having your product fail durring a public unveiling is a huge embarrassment to the company and creates doubt in the market for their stock. Not to mention a huge ego hit on Musk.

I wouldn't call it free either. The compant lost $770 million after the stock dropped %6-%7 over the fail. Tesla would have got free positive publicity if it was a success, they always do.

The only way this would have been intentional was to short the stock, but this is a huge risk for Musk and the company so I don't see this as being the case.

Imo I found the truck to be boxy and not very aesthetically pleasing. As a concept I think it's cool, but for an everyday use vehicle the design seemed a bit to plain for me.
