Can't wait to hear more about the projects. Any word on the Copperheads? Sounds like they both have the new thinner rubber, do the Copperheads have stiffer soles?

I didn't call Dingus a bitter old man. I called him a weak old man.

Yeah, and it's better to use the wombat and "Eats roots, shoots and leaves."

Yes, and by not making one, you lose points! You just lost 10 points.

You should really use the serial comma. Consider the following example, from a dedication in a book:
"I would like to thank my parents, Mother Teresa and the pope."

I would like to thank my parents, the Virgin Mary and God Almighty.

Copperheads are stiffer, but DO NOT have the Mystique rubber--at least not yet. They have the Onyx rubber. Oh, and in keeping with the general spirit of this thread, STFU, eat shit and die. (Just kidding)

In reply to: You guys are confused. It's really quite simple: I like making fun of stupid people. Jay
Where do you draw the line on stupid? You could easily visit under privileged communities where educational opportunities are borderline non-existent because of a whole host of reasons, and make fun of teens using improper English.
Then again, you may enjoy making fun of the developmentally challenged. I get my rockets off making fun of down syndrome kids. You should try it. There really isn't anything better than an unfair fight.
We need a new thread moderation color that indicates a thread will be moderated based on grammar. That way, when I feel like spraying on the interwebs, I don't have to worry about what I didn't learn in high school and college.

No, just a coma for everyone previously involved in this thread.
See what I did there! It rhymes. I should have used a word like 'sleepa' and just slant rhymed. It would be more degenerate, or creative; you choose. Either way I would expect JT512 to be an ass, and criticize it.
Maybe I should have just said something painfully mind numbing and inflammatory to keep the thread moving. I could have used a term like 'gaysexual', or could have brought up politic viewpoints on failing educational systems that leave people prey to JT512 criticism. :( It would have been more appropriate since we are talking about the Five Ten Projects.

I don't know, but that statement certainly crossed the line.

No, Jay, you crossed the line. You're an asshole. It's a two line internet post, not a professional dissertation or job interview. It's a shame that with your "superior intellect" that you can't find something better to do. Instead, you reduce rc.com to nothing more than swear words and idle insults.
Oh, and if you read your last post you'll find a punctuation error.

Thank you Jay for not quitting on this thread yet.
I wish I knew about this forum 10+ years ago. I would have posted homework and papers that I needed proof read.

There is a thread right now about the best 'but shots'. I'll look for your guest appearance there.

I saw the title, and I won't do your homework for you, though I would flame you mercilessly if you asked.

It's particularly interesting because you can clearly read the words "stealth onyx" right on the sole of the 5.10 Copperhead shoe that is pictured. Again, these shoes DO NOT have the new Mystique rubber.

I also saw a video of Charles Cole on the internet saying that the Copperhead shoes have the new Mystique rubber. I ordered a pair--and they came with Onyx, so I am now exchanging them for the Project shoes.

I want to say that 5.10 is phasing in the mystique-- my apologies for not covering that more in the OR blog...i think you'll see the prism series pick up the Mystique rubber somewhat soon...probably within the year.
