Has anyone ever wondered why on film posters the names of the actors are never in the same order as the actors themselves. It seems like a rule or something...

Got some Huf threads. Can you resize images on these boards?

it's because even before they design posters or whatever they sign contracts on which actor gets "top billing".. so, no matter what the poster looks like, the names have to go in a certain order from left to right, contractually. or top to bottom. the same thing happens in credit sequences. but they also do that for advertising deals etc..

it is lame and confusing when you have a poster and the wrong names are above their heads

Gambled on a horse last week and won some money. Ended up buying yet another pair of Dylan mid's and contemplating purchasing this today:

http://www.nemoequipment.com/nemo2011-morpho2p-tent

I own two tents - one is a shitty Coleman 4 person, the other is a Eureka 1 person. Thinking dropping winnings on something that I wouldn't normally afford is a good idea.

Donkey Lips · « **Reply #2736 on:** April 23, 2012, 10:25:55 AM »

My Eureka tent is awesome. I think it's called the Solitaire? If you and the wife are looking for a 3-4 man'er, then look at that brand (Apex 3 tent). They make some decent gear, lightweight and lower on the price scale.

I found the key to winning on horses - don't even fucking try. Just find a girl that bets on cute names and follow her lead. You'll get a payout. Not huge, but it worked out every time last week. You can make some serious money playing the exacta box, but you can lose money quickly that way too.

Horse tracks themselves are pretty weird. I was wearing a flannel shirt, rubbing elbows with a group of dudes in seersucker suits and chicks with parasols. Bought a few of them some drinks and they gave me a winning ticket at the end. For the most part, the friendliest gambling arena I've ever been in.

Yeah, I'm hyped. I missed out on a nicer, but far newer one (87) a couple weeks ago, but this will be a good project for the start of summer. I've never restored a bike before and I was going to make it fixed since the bottom bracket on my fixie is rotted to shit, but goddamn, the tires are ancient sew ups and still hold air. I took it out for a while last night and it rides like a dream, considering what it is anyways. I'm thinking i'd be a fool to fix this thing.

Please don't fix it. That bike is beautiful and will ride like a dream when cleaned up.

Today was sick
Bought a 8.25 shop deck for 39, some busenitz for 45, I'm really courious how these will skate, any impressions on this shoe?? I've been skating regular eras for pretty much a whole year now, I hope I wont lose all that boardfeel, again, any opinion would be cool
The sweatshirt was 35 too so I'm hyped, I also added a Franz Kafka book I bought some days ago
