CSB3: Old Men Discuss Walking Shoes - Forum Decides To Get Matching Crocs

• The stretching process sucks, you have to go real slow to not get blowouts, most people go too fast, it hurts like a mofo.

Now you just sound like my wife...

Mine aren’t gauged.

Jay has some good insight on that. You can get them surgically closed back up but it won’t be the same. I’d start regular and think about the gauging.

Work trip tomorrow, flight departs at 6AM. That maths out to something like a 3AM wakeup time... guess I'll go see how my boss feels about expensing a night at a hotel up at the airport.

Personal (work) preference: I'd rather spend an extra day traveling and not wake up at some ungodly hour, especially when it's a trip where everyone needs to be sharp. This is a QA trip and we're heading to the customer's plant on travel day - there's no way we're gonna be at 100%. Rather fly in today, plant in the morning and then fly home that afternoon or the next day.

I don't sleep the first night in a new place. I would rather not sleep at home

it was -1F/-13C this morning and I'm supremely butthurt about it. I have a ton of parts just sitting in my living room because it's too cold to work on anything unless absolutely necessary, and it's the barrier keeping me from driving literally anything but the milf truck which makes me want to rapidly ingest a lead salad

Working on cars in the cold sucks. We ripped the turbo/head/manifold off my friends pile on Saturday when it was ~15

I've had mine stretched to 1/2" since I was 15, I'm 40 now. If I could go back in time I probably wouldn't do it again. I don't necessarily regret it, but it does have some cons for sure.

• Definitely holds you back in a corporate America setting, although it's starting to become more acceptable these days
• Ear cheese is real
• Random strangers will get in your face and violate you, I've had complete strangers try to stick their finger through my ears. Came very close to punching several people over this.

I had 1/2" gauges too, took them out ~13 years ago and there's still a noticeable hole. I forget about them but a lot of students ask if I had earrings..... if I cared more or noticed them when I looked in a mirror maybe I'd do something about it

I took mine out for about a year before after I lost one and hate shopping. After a year I put it right back in no problem. Like a loose butthole at one of @Pineapple 's Christmas parties

4 out of 5 fingers looking good.

 

[Acadia18]

I didn't go up to 1/2". think I stopped at a 0 gauge. Here's where they sit now.

Can still fit small things through them.

Overdue for a haircut, and the pic isn't doing the incoming greys any favors

Starting the year with a bang!
