Crack be chilling

The Crack Emcee be chilling since his dust up with Cody Jarrett yesterday.

But you have to expect that.

Black folk don't like to work two days in a row. Just sayn'

(Plus whose that girl)

The Dude said...: Do not know, but is that an SKS behind her?; August 24, 2013 at 7:37 PM
Cody Jarrett said...: Pam Grier.

Time hasn't been as good to her as it might've been.

Is that from Women In Cages?; August 24, 2013 at 7:39 PM
Trooper York said...: No Black Mama, White Mama.

A classic.; August 24, 2013 at 7:40 PM
Cody Jarrett said...: Never watched that one.

It all makes sense now.

Dude!

There's like a giant alhousian theme flowing through your posts.

Put up some random shit, quick.; August 24, 2013 at 7:43 PM
Cody Jarrett said...: I see Sid Haig was in it as well.

Of course he was. He was in every single one of them.

Love Sid Haig. Great underrated actor.; August 24, 2013 at 7:56 PM
Chip S. said...: I love chicks w/ afros.; August 24, 2013 at 11:09 PM
yashu said...: I love chicks w/ afros.

Me too! Coffy/ Foxy Brown is awesome.

Related, Dick Hallorann is the man.; August 25, 2013 at 7:36 AM
Cody Jarrett said...: I was always fascinated that the lamps by his head cast that cool lamp arc on the wall, but the ones by the tv didn't.

Seems strange Kubrick let that go.; August 25, 2013 at 10:38 AM
The Crack Emcee said...: I'm not "chilling" - I'm broke and waiting for the internet to be cut off. Hasn't happened yet (I don't know why) but any minute now,...; August 25, 2013 at 11:05 AM
The Dude said...: Roosevelt's "cousin", in that picture, kind of reminds me of Lola Glaudini, in an overall bone structure, face shape kind of way.

YMMV; August 25, 2013 at 5:18 PM
Cody Jarrett said...: Crack be a celebrity now.

That's how it rolls. Attack a bunch of commenters, call people racists and shit, and Lem'll flop your shit up on the front page.

Good for Crackers. He doesn't do a good enough job of promoting himself.; August 25, 2013 at 7:03 PM
The Dude said...: After enduring what I could of that crap I understand why he is destitute. He can't seriously expect to earn a living without any talent, originality or ability, can he?

Lem is a weasel, and apparently Pogo has never heard actual music before.

What a no-talent, mentally deficient, hypocritical one note hack Crack is.

Hope the utility companies accept anger as payment.; August 25, 2013 at 7:19 PM
Cody Jarrett said...: Pogo and Crackers were sucking face in the thread the other day where I was the biggest racist in the fucking world, ready to kill anyone I happened to see with skin any shade darker than my own.

Some of his stuff really is fairly witty. This wasn't one of them.

I completely agree with Sixty that Lem is a weasel.; August 25, 2013 at 7:52 PM
Cody Jarrett said...: Then again I'm Sixty's sockpuppet so of course I'd agree with him.; August 25, 2013 at 7:53 PM
Cody Jarrett said...: Sixty, did I see you say something about having turned baseball bats?; August 25, 2013 at 7:55 PM
The Dude said...: I have turned them and I have written about it.

Still have a couple around the house. Several in ash, one in purple heart, one in ColorWood (tm).; August 25, 2013 at 7:57 PM
Cody Jarrett said...: What else you turn?; August 25, 2013 at 8:03 PM
The Dude said...: Women off, bowls, lights on when it's dark, more bowls, drum sticks, walking sticks, furniture legs, djembes and a few thousand bowls.

Did I mention bowls? Just turned one this afternoon - an 18" diameter silver maple bowl a guy asked for.

Later this week - cherry. Lots and lots of cherry.; August 25, 2013 at 8:11 PM
Cody Jarrett said...: Sweet. I have a Robust American Beauty lathe. But once I started making enough money to afford it I stopped having time to use it much.

You core out your blanks?; August 25, 2013 at 8:21 PM
The Dude said...: I built my own lathe using reclaimed heart pine beams for the bed. Built the headstock and tailstock from laminated blocks. Built the drive system, bought the axle, pulleys and motor. Use a OneWay 4 jaw chuck and tailstock center.

I live in a forest and obtain logs, sections of logs and standing trees, then I saw them into pieces equal to the diameter of the log using my Stihl 088 with a 36" bar, .404 full skip chain and all the speed and torque it can produce.

I rip those pieces into two half rounds, usually trying to cut out the pith.

Then I saw the blanks round on my bandsaw, drill a hole in the center of the flat side and use a screw drive to attach it to the lathe.

I do two stage green turning - turn the blank as soon as I get it - preferably the same day the tree is taken down, leaving a wall thickness great enough to account for the shrinkage ratio of the piece, based on the species of wood, width of the piece and the depth of the bowl.

Then, after setting aside the green blank in the drying room for a year or more, when the MC reaches 10-12% I finish turn and sand the bowl.; August 25, 2013 at 8:34 PM
windbag said...: @Sixty, do you have any djembes now?; August 25, 2013 at 8:34 PM
The Dude said...: I have a couple of beauties, including a black walnut one I hand carved out of a log. I am keeping that one.; August 25, 2013 at 8:36 PM
Cody Jarrett said...: LOL Sixty.

Yeah, that's a pretty concise description of the process.

So you don't use a coring system, eh?

Pretty cool to build yourself a lathe. I'm not smart enough to do shit like that.

I use Vicmarc chucks.; August 25, 2013 at 8:40 PM
The Dude said...: I saw my close personal friend Roy Underhill build two lathes on The Woodwright's Shop.

Figured if that ol' boy could build a lathe, I sure could too.

Turns out I was right - but what I didn't know is that he has graduated from Duke and UNC and is one smart SOB.

Good thing I didn't let what I don't know stop me.; August 25, 2013 at 8:45 PM
Cody Jarrett said...: Roy Underhill is the the balls.

I watch him do shit that boggles me. All while chit-chatting away.

I've started collecting The Woodwright's Shop on DVD, just because I can.; August 25, 2013 at 8:47 PM
Cody Jarrett said...: And I chuckle every time I see your name (well not every time I guess) because of Bill Grumbine and the way he talks about coarse sand paper as the "60 grit gouge".; August 25, 2013 at 8:48 PM
Cody Jarrett said...: Good thing I didn't let what I don't know stop me.

Good for you. I usually do.; August 25, 2013 at 8:51 PM
The Dude said...: I turned a mess of black walnut bowls from wood I got when a bridge was built right behind the old blacksmith's shop at the West Point on the Eno state park, which you see in the show opening.

He filmed there in the early days, then moved to the UNC studios over in RTP.

I have met him several times, most recently at a woodworkers party here in town last Christmas. I think his eyes glazed over when I showed him pictures of a giant dogwood log I had collected. He does tend to knock back the beers, so maybe it wasn't me. Maybe.; August 25, 2013 at 8:52 PM
Cody Jarrett said...: That's pretty cool, Sixty. It was probably you. At least judging from what I've seen of him.; August 25, 2013 at 9:00 PM
windbag said...: @Sixty, what's the diameter and are you willing to part with it?; August 25, 2013 at 9:03 PM
ricpic said...: Blacks aren't the only ones who'd rather not work two days in a row. The five day work week was the undoing of me. Well, I survived it, barely. But for years I wondered, obsessed really, over why the work week wasn't broken up into two days on, one day off, next three days on, one day off and so on. I realize this gives the game away that I'm a natural layabout but, really, what would be so terrible about breaking the work week on Wednesday? What's with God commanding six on and one off? What a brute.; August 25, 2013 at 9:26 PM
The Dude said...: I have a 15" diameter Southern yellow pine djembe with a burst head that I would be willing to sell.

Reheading costs about $100 around here, and including all 3 rings I would have to get $350 for the shell.

I should probably post a picture, eh?; August 25, 2013 at 9:44 PM
windbag said...: I'll think about it. That might make a nice Christmas gift for me.; August 25, 2013 at 9:49 PM
The Dude said...: We can tawk...; August 25, 2013 at 9:53 PM
The Dude said...: Oh yeah, at that price I'll throw in the Galaxy rip stop nylon bag.; August 25, 2013 at 9:55 PM
Methadras said...: I never realized Crack was so afro-slavery centric. Oh well, everyone needs a hobby I guess.; August 26, 2013 at 3:50 PM
The Dude said...: You remember when he claimed he was raised by former slaves, right?

He would never back down from that absurd statement regardless of how he was pressed to prove that such a thing is even possible, unless he is 100 years old or some shit.

He is a lying racist and to see he and Needy Meadey go at it warms my heart.

Oh, and one more thing - had he been raised by slaves his music would have a lot more soul and he would know more than one note.; August 26, 2013 at 3:55 PM
Cody Jarrett said...: I never realized Crack was so afro-slavery centric. Oh well, everyone needs a hobby I guess.

I don't remember him being like that (this) either, meth.; August 26, 2013 at 5:28 PM
The Dude said...: He has always been like that, and he is the sole vessel of all truth and knowledge in the history of slavery in the world.

After all, he was raised by slaves. Nobody know de truble he seen...; August 26, 2013 at 7:02 PM
Cody Jarrett said...: And no one else ever had relatives who were slaves. Or if they did, it doesn't matter.; August 27, 2013 at 11:32 AM
