I would tell you more about them, but doing so would violate my totally real NDA with them. :cool:

I tried googling around a bunch and couldn't find anything.

Transparency is the sign of BAD LARD!

Here's some facts on ExcuseBoy and his statements.

1) According to approximations, there are about 27 high-school aged people in Moose Creek, Alaska (granted, team members could in theory also come from the nearby Fairbanks).

2) A search for "Piztons Inc.", "Piztons Inc Moose Creek", "Piztons Inc Fairbanks", and even "Piztons Lard" returns nothing. I seriously doubt it exists.

3) They already have a team number in late-July. This is worsened by the fact that it is a very late 2017 rookie number, and as 2016 early rookies, we didn't get our number until at least late-Setember IIRC (granted, 6621 could be a preliminary number).

4) The motto of "transparency is a sign of BAD LARD" is kind of a very specific and not very good company motto.

5) The contract that ExcuseBoy posted is not very well written, and doesn't actually provide very much information contract-wise. The entire first third isn't even a sentence (although that could be due to him censoring certain parts of the contract).

6) Looking around on Google maps for any largeish buildings that could be "Piztons Inc." didn't turn up anything.

There's the facts, you decide.

This has to be the strangest trolling/spam/anything I've seen on CD, ever.

After spending wayyyy too much time on this, I have come to the conclusion that when lard turns "bad" it actually just gets rancid, and not transparent. There was nothing stating how it would get transparent but multiple accounts of it becoming foul in taste or smell. Lard can't be transparent, so even if the OP meant if lard is sold as transparent it isn't as good as thick lard, it wouldn't make sense.

Some Lard Tips For All of You:
-If you store lard properly in the refirgerator in an air-tight container it will last about a year
-If you decide to freeze it, in an air-tight container it will last over 3 years
-You should never try freezing lard in its original packaging. this will result in freezer burn and change of texture
-Defrosted lard can keep in the refrigerator safely without spoiling for up to 6 months.
-Never store your lard in an open container in one of your kitchen cabinets because mice, rats and insects will feed on it and cause it too spoil or become contaminated with fecal matter and harmful bacteria that is dangerous to your health.

Remember if you aren't sure if your lard has gone bad or not - just throw it out to be safe.

Stay lard safe everyone!

And this is what happens when you let science geeks disprove a spammer. :D

I'm going to make a reply that may or may not be lost in the replies to this thread, but here we go anyway.

As many others have states, some of (if not most) of the claims made don't really line up, and there's a fairly high possibility that the Original Poster is attempting to spam or mislead the forum users on this site. On the other hand, there is a small chance that what they are saying is truthful, albeit maybe poorly put.

If this is fake: Please show some courtesy on the forum. By imitating a new, up and coming team, and brewing up a storm of controversial replies and discussions, you may see other, genuinely new, enthusiastic teams become discouraged because they might view this small thread as a look for help, and see a hostile set of responses full of satire. This isn't the impression we want to give.

If this is real: Fantastic! Welcome to the family. I'm sorry the responses here have mixed messages, we don't mean to scare you off. If you're leading the way to creating a new team, that's absolutely fantastic. You'll find that many people both in and out of this forum will be more than happy to help you.

I'm not sure whether this post is truthful or deceitful. If it turns out to be true, I'm sure everyone here will offer you with nothing but help.

Google maps also returns a big nope for piztons. I looked around manually and couldn't find it either. I also looked at a few lists of lard companies and could not find this "Piztons". I'm starting to think this place dosen't exist.

I will report back later when I have combed through all of Alaska. ::rtm::

Coming out of hiding to post in the best thread CD has ever seen. Predicting that "bad lard" will be the esoteric CD meme of 2017.

You guys tried way harder than I did to figure out it was fake. :rolleyes:

It's nice to see how patient people will be on here even with people who are 99.9999% trolling. Something something GP.

This thread kinda reminds me of this thread: Final 2011 Drivetrain

Has the same vibe.

It's funny to see people call 26x26 small.
