Gunstock: i understand you used to ride for zap, why did u switch to vic?

Gunstock: sick
Gunstock: do u remember that time you passed out at our place in laguna on the toilet whilst eating a piece of fried chicken and taking a sh*t, and then after we broke the door down we douched you in marker?

Gunstock: bullsh*t, i got pictures
Noogie: west, or Aliso in the summer
Noogie: shut up there is no photographed evidence
Gunstock: haha, was there any one particular sesh that you remember the most?
Noogie: umm probably the most recent was at west with paulo and grady the sider was going off, but most memorable was my second time at the wedge it was F**KING HUGE and beaker was yelling at me making me go...it was worth it though
Gunstock: that was the same day BCS took one in the head isn't it?
