I don't have enough on me.

I want to thank the people at King Kog for taking care of my bike while I was out of commission after my mishap at Monstertrack. I obnoxiously let them babysit her for over a week while I got my ***** together without even calling, but if that bothered them, they didn't let on. Maybe it occured to them to charge me for storing it. It would have been reasonable. They did have to roll it outside every morning and inside every night. I bailed on my baby and stuck 'em with her like a deadbeat dad. But when I finally showed up, they just wanted to know if I was okay.

You guys got class.

I'm probably the last guy in New York to 'discover' King Kog, since I didn't even get a clear view of it while lying busted on the sidewalk in front waiting for the ambulance to come, but hey, welcome.

my bank told me i would only get 2 mad props for 10 big ups...hold on to them for a couple more days, joshr...some **** is brewing bigupia that could throw the mad props/big ups exchange rate into more favorable territory. failing that, do you have any spare shoutouts around? check under your couch cushions, they're doing really well.

ok, in general i don't make it a point to discuss investments and the market with strangers, but i have it on good authority that the big ups market is likely to surpass both the shoutout and the wounded mad prop market by the end of the third quarter. plan accordingly or lose your shirts.

Hey Boots! What exactly is the story with you hurting your shoulder. My old roommate was hanging out at King Kog after he realized he lost his manifest. Anyways, he said that you slipped on one of the banana peels or something? Did that really happen?

nah, i didn't slip on the banana peels. at least, i don't think so. i have, according to the smart doctors, "loose tendons", and the force of doing a powerslide pushed my shoulder "out the back". in the end, it turned out not to be anything serious at all, although i'm not supposed to ride for a little while. but it sure hurt a hell of a lot.

hey, on a serious note for a moment, i wasn't aware of what had happened. what does it feel like? i kinda ****ed up my shoulder the other day, and it doesn't seem bad, but it does give me a little trouble sometimes when i ride.

anyway, good it's nothing serious and your ride is back safe with you.

all right, serious note done. come friday, i'll be grabbing as much beer as i can, so i can save my socks.

Yeah, my last thread about them got deleted, but yeah, they're stand up people, deserve any extra props, root beer, or pie you can muster.

get better soon. I also suffer from loose tendons, and it feels like I dislocate my shoulder every few months (just a seperation), but it just pops on back in after some serious pain. The next week is usually full of advil and ice, but it gets better quickly.

Boots you goofy bastard, you too eh? Yeah King Kog is run by some solid people. England hasn't been trading well in big ups, mad props, or shoutouts, however we are through the roof on the holla back's. So I'd like to holla atcha and KK. Tell em London Jack says what up. Feel better man. I'll betcha still rock the cowboy shots with a bum wing though.
