    “The name of Austin, TX-based Howler Brothers was inspired by the sound the co-founders heard while surfing in Costa Rica”

    This is why I hate most people

    I remember one time me and a bunch of friends were jumping into the the CM Canal from the top of the West CM bridge. One of my buddies came up to the surface with just a waistband around his waist... the rest of his suit was hanging down his leg.

    Questions to ask yourself when buying baggies:

    1. Is there more than one pocket, located anywhere but the back right ass cheek?
    2. Is there a mini wax comb attached
    3. Are there zippers involved in any of the construction?
    4. Are they more than 40 bucks?

    Key: If the answers are yes, yes, yes, yes then you are a kook.

    Have a nice day!

    Cheap wine comes in a box, no fancy opener needed. Tastes like real wine. Get's you buzzed, just ask my wife LOL

    Lol!

    Hey... I've had more sh!tty wine out of bottles than out of boxes. Not to say you can't get mediocre wine in both... you certainly can. But there are an increasing number of good quality wines available in boxes now... and they never get oxidized, corked, or break in your ride on the way home from the liquor store!

    It's "you're", as in "you are" and is called a "contraction". "Your" is possessive, and is the incorrect usage in this particular context.

    Sorry j/k I couldn't resist going all Fungal here

    I still have a pair of Birdswells the old man Birdswell made for me about 30 years ago; paid $40 for them. And I never use them - my wife liked them so much she did not want me to get them all waxed up and filthy. So I got me another set of baggies called Kanvas by Katin. Those I use with a pair of Hurleys I bought eons ago as well.
    But I will be using them Birdswells now, or be buried in them.
