Mandingo, no, Mangroomer

New York Dave send me this from the good folks at Bed bath & Beyond

It raises so many questions, what exactly is "Beyond" Bed & Bath. Is it Dungeon, Abductee Pit or Cage? Secondly, how did Dave "stumble" upon this product,perhaps early birthday shopping for a mutual friend in London?

The accompanying text with the Product:

Mangroomer® Electric Back Hair Shaver
Mangroomer® is the essential do-it-yourself electric back hair shaver for men. The unique design enables a man to remove unwanted back hair by himself in the privacy of his own home or while traveling. It's quick, easy and painless. The fully extendable and adjustable handle locks into place at various lengths to reach the most difficult portions of the middle and lower back. Its sleek, lightweight, compact design folds completely flat and opens to 135 degrees for instant use. The large 1 1/2" cutting edge blade enables extremely close and smooth results without the potential of ingrown hairs. Measures 9 1/4" L x 2" W x 1 1/2" H. Uses two AA batteries, not included


I really like how it allows a man to remove unwanted hair whilst travelling. Don't know how many times I've been on a bus thinking that i could really go for a less hirsute back.

Finally. At my place of business, and no not the "khazi", we have finally acquired a vehicle with my holy grail of bad alloy wheel. Although not the much bogan fabled "Bob Jane Auscar 3 spoke" these beauties represent a great era of bad Aussie car modification. When they first came out in the late 80's i'm sure they would have been seen to take a Piazza/Exa/Twin Cam 'rolla/Swift over the top when it came to Friday night show 'n shine at Macca's. Now they have dated like Farrah Fawcett, ALF and the Australian Democrats.

This set up shown is a personal favourite, with the "big banger 15's" beautifully illuminating the ultra trick drum brakes behind. the only thing missing is the ever popular flouro colour coding of the drums/front discs.

Oh well, 'ol Gils gunna have to talk the talk to move this one. Maybe it's now OK to call them Retro or better yet "A tradition of heritage".

Great area Shane.

Found myself with an hour to kill in "little America" Penrith this morning.
Stumbled into a long standing sports shop and picked up the "Gatting ball" of a deal. These absolutlely useless zooters are OG Sheik of Tweak Nike Air Flipper 1 & 2. Found them on a shelf with more dust than a Madras pitch. How they remained stashed away since 1992 and 1997 respectively is a mystery only possibly Ian Healy could solve. With not even a sledge, i was able to pick all four pairs up for a price that could only be descibed as cheap as a Darryl Cullinan wicket.

A great stroke of luck, I feel like a Zimbabwean batsman. Any offers are welcome,TXT only please.

This vid made by state magazine comes from uncle Chop Chop via the mighty sneaker repository that is Hypebeast. The recently released Air max 90 "Homegrowns" have taken on a bit of a cult following. Not sure if this fan ad is really what the corporate types in Beaverton had in mind. Interested to know where the homegrowns fit on the "straight fire" ranking system with the Chopper collection, but i'm sure they are in his top 50 (of Air Max 90)
