FUCK

+'d him for using cool emoticon in title.

head piece is great

what material is being used and is it treated/coated?

frames must have been a fortune

just about everything is great about this collection

but that outwear is amazing.

one of my fav raf collections.

This is a great topic! For me the matter of cacao has always been up there with denim and coffee.

I ocassionally have that sweet tooth in need of a sweet chocolate bar but when I am in cacao appreciation mode I tend to seek out a good cacao nib. Scarffen Berger is probably the easiest to find (seek out the non-chocolate covered ones). Eat them straight up to understand what part of a sweet chocolate bar actually comes from cacao. It's definitely an acquired taste like coffee, beer, raw denim and fish but so worth it.

Put some crushed cacao in a good ice cream to balance the sweetness.

Munch on cacoa nibs with a light beer (hoegaarden) or sweet dark (Samuel Smith's Imperial Stout).

Then go find a good hardcover first edition of Sophie and Michael Coe's The True History of Chocolate. You won't regret it.

Does anyone want to swap cacao bean brewing recipes (no, not hot chocolate).

oh man this sounds great. i'm going to have to check this stuff out. thanks for the recommendation.

well if you invite a number of users that all get banned, you will lose invite privileges and possibly become banned. its not really a matter of sharing or not, but a matter of inviting people who are going to contribute something to the community and not just hit and run for a month, get banned and go elsewhere.

i don't know how that makes me lame or greedy. i'd like to be as sure as possible i'm not inviting shitty users to a good community by inviting the first people who ask.

Hey, i've given out invites before, but 80% of those users end up going into the red and getting banned! Don't want that to happen to me!

reqs for invite:

some idea what you're talking about

screenshot from another tracker showing stats/username/member status/etc

(demonoid does not count)

and

what you will bring to the community.

Maybe one or two other things i've forgotten.

i usually only stick with dark chocolate and generally 80% or above. as cotton duck said, there are different ways to eat the higher % chocolates for different effects.pretty much 99% of the time i'm having a piece of dark it's with black coffee and there are like 100 different ways to experiment with eating/drinking it together. I've actually never had anything above 92%, but i'd like to try.

also, stay away from this place:

seriously, chocolates have nightmares about this place.

first: 1989 volvo 240 dl

shit broked down every other day

second: 1998 nissan sentra

totaled

third 1997 ford escort

sucked

fourth

1999 camery

sold and moved where i don't need a car.

But seriously, love the aesthetics of older volvos.

pants, maybe one of the bags. pretty ho-hum overall. never handled any pieces. anywhere in nyc stock this stuff?

Come on! fucking awesome! mofucking hulk steez 01!

.

yes please:

this jacket was interesting:

There are like 90+ pages. these are just some from the first 10 pages. from what i saw a lot of it seemed a little bland and repetitious, but there are definitely some interesting things going on in a couple of them if you browse all the way through. thanks for the link kg!

what's that like?

never heard any, but the album artwork always intrigued me.

Personally, I feel if you're going to check out any Gang Gang Dance album, you should check out God's Money. The songs from SD sound great live, but on the record I was utterly bored. Their previous albums have been pretty much hit or miss track wise, but i feel GM is prob their most cohesive album.

and now I am listening to..
