lordmetroland Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) Over the past couple years, I've developed a pretty debilitating case of Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD). It's defined as a "delusional preoccupation that an aspect of one's appearance is severely flawed and requires exceptional measures to hide or fix the perceived issue." The usual result is things like body building, breast augmentation, rhinoplasty. Michael Jackson is the classic case. I had come to believe that my giant feet were, in fact, a pox and could be cured by buying snowboarding gear far too small for them. With lots of help, some pharmaceutical, I've embraced the idea that my feet are beautiful the way they are and I'm ready to cast off the tools of my oppression! I also have to pay some pretty steep out-of-pocket therapy bills, so why not kill two birds with one stone? Large Flow NX2-GT bindings from last season. Fusion straps, not the dumb Hybrids. Ridden for only one day. They really don't fit my (unbearably tight) 11.5 boots as the Flow site would have me believe. I mean, they work, but my (crushingly small) boots were too big to make use of the "easy entry" feature, which was the whole point of the damn things in the first place. Nice bindings though; I bought the XLs this week. So the Larges are yours for $200 plus shipping (which is probably $20-30), PayPal gift. They even come with mounting hardware! Oh, dig the carbon fiber! It serves no evident functional purpose, but seriously, dig that s***! The red/black/gunmetal color scheme screams testosterone! You'll be like a snowboarding Tom Jones, peeling thrown underwear off your helmet. See, they're really not that big. I've put a coin near the edge, so you can tell. It's a US penny, not a Canadian one, which are only about 0.77 the size, depending on exchange rates which have been taken out of circulation (as graciously noted by kounak75), thereby ruining what was potentially a good joke and further proving that the typical American is too narcissistic to give a s*** about the currency of even our closest allies. On closer inspection, my ankle looks f***** huge, like my great grandma Edith's. Good Christ, I need some compression socks... Edited August 31, 2017 by lordmetroland Poor grammar, incoherence...why are you asking these questions? And general ignorance. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soybomb Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 No need for these but applause on a great post. I laughed out loud and not to unravel whatever progress you made in therapy but your ankles are indeed gi-normous. Around here we call them cankles.... when you cant tell where the calf ends and the ankle begins. Kind of reminds me of my prom date. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordmetroland Posted April 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Spend your tax refund on something that will bring a smile to your face, but not land you in jail! I have a tax bill that has brought a frown to mine, but you can buy the dang things and make us both a little happier... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2012Alpine1 Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Would you consider a trade for TD2's straight up?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a somewhat intriguing proposition, but given the aforementioned giantosis of the feet condition, I need the long plates on Bombers, so I'm thinking this probably won't work.
