I have a couple patch kits from a dollar store, and they include something that looks very much like macaroni, but is made of rubber (probably thick latex). There's two in each kit, they're exactly the color, shape (except not bent into an elbow), diameter (inside and out), and length of the uncooked macaroni in a box of Kraft macaroni & cheese. What are these? For spreading cement without using dirty fingers?
In partly unrelated news, where did I put that fscking roll of Velox rim tape? I had it sitting around to install on my rear rim during the next time I removed the tire...I better check the desk drawer... -- Rick Onanian

It's replacement valve rubber for old "Dunlop" type inner tube valves.

It's in the garage behind the 36-year-old Pachinko machine you've been storing for absolutely no good reason.

Emergency food for while you're out... gnawing on it releases critical potassium and complex carbohydrates to encourage smooth muscle function and fuel.

mmmmm, pachinko. any reason is a good reason. i wonder how high quality those little balls are as ball bearings. i was so drunk the last day i was in japan i stuffed a pocketful of those balls into my bag and forgot about them until airport security.
think i still have 'em, too.
wish i had the big guns pinball game, tho. -- david reuteler [email hidden]

the date on that photo is late july, 1995. i was coincidentally in hiroshima for the 50th anniversary of the dropping of the bomb. at the time i was in grad school for computational physics. i am also, of course, an american.
man.. was.. that.. a.. trip..
OT pachinko. if they were grade 25 ball bearings they'd probably be a good source. oh, well. -- david reuteler [email hidden]

forewarned since birth. my mother is uk/australian (not to say she drinks, she doesn't) but i grew up going to australia every 2 or 3 years. i'd like to try bike touring down there at some point. the great ocean road or something that wouldn't leave me dead in the outback for instance.
