Which one should I buy?

Wake up! The grind rail, of course. Isn’t this answer a little bit obvious?

Build the grind rail yourself from cheap or found materials and forgo the gear, save your cash.

Practice on the rail and other things enough and you won’t have to pay for the clothing in the future. They’ll be paying you to wear their labels.

Just don’t use the grind rail naked if you have no clothes

True. Build your own grind rail, use your old clothes for another year and spend the money on a good stuffed parrot.

Psyla is right. Take your new little friend skating with you. If fact, when you make your next video include the Parrot. When the skating companies view your sponsorship application video, you will be that questionable kid with a stuffed bird in every shot of you sliding down some rail or whatever. They’ll eat it up like the birdseed you wont have to feed your sawdust-filled chum.

For photographic emphasis and to enhance tension, always point the beak of the parrot towards your head.

You should buy one good pair of shoes and get your shirts at a thrift store. Skate nature. That is what makes it fun.

Or you could get a pet squirrel

If you buy a stuffed parrot instead of a stuffed squirrel, you can file the Parrot’s beak down when you’re stressed out, or you could make it serrated, not like Set’s beak.

Sure.. It was a shitty question. At least try to answer it. Make your lame jokes after help is offered.

Maybe you could use some of your $ to get a stuffed squirrel for johnpowell also

johnpowell, it’s very rude to insult someone’s question. If it wasn’t important, they wouldn’t have asked it.

Your nickname could be “Squirrel Master”

I wonder what johnpowell means by “skate nature” is that like au naturale, like nude skating?

maybe grinding bears and deer?

Doesn’t “grinding” mean to have sex with? I don’t think it’s safe to have sex with bears and deer especially while skating after spending hard-earned money on a stuffed squirrel. You weren’t suggesting that he buy a live squirrel, were you?

“Skate nature” means to skate your natural surroundings. Like find a curb that is fun.

I didn’t know curbs were natural, but yeah he should skate naked with his live pet squirrel after having sex with bears….
what could go wrong?

Should he keep the squirrel on a leash?

Yes..

Maybe he can just get a tattoo of a parrot on a leash and skip the shirts.

I think some curbs are more fun than others. I know a curb down my street that’s just a whole lot of fun.

Is this where I respond?

yeah, just untill he learns to ride the front of the skateboard, but it has to be the harness style leash because you don’t want to strangle him if can’t keep up. He needs sunglasses too.

I would think he would want sunglasses but if there was any money left over, I would say that he doesn’t “need” sunglasses.

What?

and be cautious of squirrels that attack, its a serious problem according to the animal planet channel

Wouldn’t he save more money by buying a squirrel trap & capturing his own live squirrels?

This has turned into Theatre of the Absurd or something…

Absurd Theater! I love it!

I don’t really understand it either.

what’s to understand? Pet squirrels kick ass

Allow me to explain. What we’re trying to do here is to help atr408 spend his money. If he didn’t buy the grinder, the shoes, or the shirts, he would have money left over. I kind of line up with peedub on this one, I would suggest spending the money on a tatoo, but that’s just my opinion. There are more wasteful things to buy if one were trying to waste their saved money.

I have skateboarded for twenty years. Have you? My gut says “no.” It was smart ass comments that didn’t help that pissed me off. Help or get off the pot.

Maybe he can kill a few birds (hopefully not a parrot) with these.

A solid set of shoes is the best thing you can buy if you skate.

Jesus Christ, its not that serious!!
Do you have high blood pressure?

Of course. I don’t really care. And in real life I stare at blades of grass and laugh. You are just random people I won’t remember in the morning.

this conversation is thee most idiotic one I’ve seen in a while.

Fuck.

Oh, and to answer your question; buy some shoes.
Yep. Thats it.

I solemnly declare that I have skateboarded for 20 years.

you should have seen the conversation last week with the little kid telling everyone to f off and then saying everyone was sucking **** because no one liked panic at the disco, that was a good one, but it was removed I think, bummer

I witnessed the conversation and “zack” privately harassed me and would not leave me alone. Also publically as well- he even made a disgusting question about me.
Why bummer though?

I thought the best one was about how wildflower has beaked aliens in her garden that throw things at her when she mows the lawn. I don’t think her eyesight is too good. I think it was the neighbor’s kids.

WHAT IS UP WITH YOU AND BEAKED ALIENS PSYLA

I don’t understand

Ask peedub, there’s something about beaks that profoundly disturbs him.

I did. Pm’ed him, because I don’t understand this phenomenon.
cheeb what’s taking you so long?

Zack sent me a private message telling me he was a virgin or something, I told him that he will most likely remain a virgin as long as panic at the disco is his favorite band. I got a txt message so I had to repond to it first

Maybe peedub had a bad experience with beaks before and now has a deep-rooted psychological aversion to them. I have the same problem with the company “Mor Furniture”.

birds are evil

Birds are descended directly from dinosaurs. Current DNA research shows that chicken has elements of dinosaur DNA.

What does it mean when you PM someone like how TheHaight PM’ed peedub about his beak problem?

sorry psyla… Peedubman doesn’t quite understand the phenomenon but just goes along with it.
explain, please.
And your k session with “scalmari”

obsession*

about YOUR beak problem.

“private
message”.
Just click on their icon/or name and you will fig it out from there

I trust nothing with wings!

It’s too deep-rooted for me to be objective. The Fluther story explains a lot of it. I began to understand more after my 47th read.

wildflower said that she was drinking salmari, but I read it as scalmari. Calamari is squid… so the thought of octopus and vodka occurred to me.

vodkapuss

47? No way. I don’t believe you peedubdude.

You shouldn’t believe me. Has anyone tried to read it backwards, what is it really saying?

It’s true. If you know peedub and he says 47, it’s 47.

psyla, you know peedub?
P+P=♥

I would PM my vodkapuss if someone explained what PM means. Asking this probably would not be a good Fluther question. johnpowell would lambast me.

(psyla I already explained it….)

@TheMightyHaighty- How did you make that dudical little heart?

Oh, sorry, as johnpowell said, I’m a little bit dense.

OH NO! Do I Dare say…. “beaked aliens”?

How can this even be a question?..........You always go with the shoes!
All the other stuff I’m sure you can borrow from someone else…....but not shoes.

atr408 always goes with shoes?

DUH peedubman- everyone knows how too.

Its & hearts ;
(put it all together, though)

♥

She’s so enigmatic, don’t you love her?

“you” as a generic term psyla…..try to stay alert and stay with me here….

Me no understando

I ♥ Conan.

like this? ♥ ?

OK, I’m with you, go ahead..

Me too. How did you make the heart?

psyla, when in doubt, but shoes are part of one of the options, choose the shoes!

I ♥ shoes!

PEEdub- follow me here: its

& + hearts + ; (semi colon, )

cmon…you’re supposed to be the big smart law-man and I’n showing you how to make hearts!

Shoes! Buy the shoes!

I ♥ origami as well. Can you instruct me in some of that too?

&;&; doesn’t work on an iTouch.

Yes it does psyla.

I can show you how to make a crane and thats about it… Hey, is it cuz I’m Japanese that your asking me????? :-/

♥

see, psyla- i believed in ya. You’re not too dense after all.

Awwwww.. ♥

I didn’t know you were Japanese. I ask everyone about origami but you have proven yourself to be a good teacher.

Origami is not the easiest thing to learn, you know…
