  1. People driving roadsters or convertibles with the top down, windows up.
  2. A co-worker admitted she worked at Chuck E Cheese during high school. Very surprising as she had a bitch personality. She said the worst part was wearing the Chuck E costume because it had never been cleaned and smelled bad especially the head. The tail was super-reinforced from being pulled off so many times and the kids treated Chuck E like a punching bag. My buddy and I discussed her talking about her Chuck E Cheese experience. "When she got to the part about being treated like a punching bag, I felt happy." Me too, pal.
  3. We still doing the banhammer thing?

  5. Someone tried to change the channel on the TV (pre-remote control / cable days) from The Price Is Right and a big fight broke out. Those fuckers knew the vacuum cleaner was more expensive than the Rice-A-Roni.
  6. So. You are familiar with Asian football. Impressive. Japan and Team Mexico are kind of cool.
  7. An after shit you have heard in a bar story, Busted for underage drinking in 1975. Shared the bullpen with two elderly drunk black gentlemen. One was wearing an old brown chalkstripe suit and a light grey fedora. The other guy was in a torn blue suit. Chalkstripe is slowly reading the graffiti and gets to "Pink Floyd was here." Blue suit: "Pink Floyd? Oh shit no." Cracked me up.
  8. In the Lifetime Movies telenovela, I'm thinking Valerie Bertinelli as the mom.
  9. Fuck those guys with the electric HO racetracks.
  10. If you didn't have to use the ice scraper on the inside of the car windows it doesn't count.
  11. Used to go see Cheap Trick almost every Saturday night during senior year of high school at Humpin' Hannah's and Someplace Else until freshman year of college when a show scheduled for IIRC February 1976 at The Electric Ballroom / The Palms was cancelled after they got picked up by Epic. Penny beer nights at Hannah's were brutal. Taxis were cheap back then. $5.00 to get to the club, $4.00 cover charge for you and your girlfriend, 25¢ for a night of drinking and $5.00 for the ride home. You'd get there on time to get a table. After the first set, Cheap Trick play'd a lot of Bowie and Stones. I honestly do not remember Cheap Trick covering the Beatles. But the crowd was getting pretty dangerous on penny beers. And there was smoking. (Hannah's was a basement club with only one set of stairs.) After the third set it was time to head home. And the neighborhood was delightful. Every night wasn't penny beer. There were multiple band nights. That is how Rick and Robin found future replacement guitartist. Long term engagement at Someplace Else was different. Cheap Trick and sometimes my girlfriend and I would be the only ones on the music side vs the bar side. Rockford is near the border. So. To answer your question, I'm thinking Cheap Trick (Original Line-Up) spent so much time in Wisconsin they didn't become true flatlanders and therefore didn't suck. REO Speedwagon sucked even back then. They play'd upper east side bars which weren't part of our stomping grounds. We pronounced it as "rheostat". A few years ago, went with friends to Riversplash. REO Speedwagon was the headliner. Kevin Cronin actually skipped across the stage. That was it. Outta there. Abandon lawn chair.
  12. Kevin and The Shitstains.

    Vinyl

    I recall an interview in The Rolling Stone with Keith Richards. It was at the height of the Mick and Keith troubles so everyone was paying attention to that and seemed to overlook this: Richards extolled the virtues of vinyl as digital reproduced too brightly. Must have been 1988 because shortly afterwards I bought my first CD: Talk Is Cheap, Richards' debut.
  14. Alice Cooper. While Jagger and Elvis were wearing jumpsuits, Alice was wearing a ripped up union suit and platform boots. School's Out was their last great album. I think it was the drinking. Billiion Dollar Babies featured Elected and Hello, Hooray! Followed by Muscle of Love most notable for the cardboard album packaging, and The Man with the Golden Gun (a James Bond reject) and an inner sleeve with the band dressed as sailors and on the reverse getting beat up by a female gorilla. Cornball wasn't going over by then; National Lampoon had been on the magazine stands for years. Alice had a schtick in Wayne's World on the history of Milwaukee. For more than fifteen years afterwards, every time Milwaukee came up in conversation, he pronounced it in Algonquin. Until someone finally took him aside and explained it wasn't funny anymore. It's like that childhood friend you lose track of. The one who never grew up.
  15. She should have told the cops to use her Facebook picture
  16. Definitely. I take the coddled eggs and oil route. Pretty much all salad dressings actually: green goddess, bleu cheese, ranch, real Italian vinaigrette. Put it in a gravy boat or bring out the oil and vinegar cruets and a lemon.
  17. PilotsError's title is in error. According to the article, the officer threatened to kill and then rape. There may even be a law in Florida prohibiting raping dead people which is worse in my opinion.
  18. The best haikyo / urbex picture I've seen was of a rusted ore car with "#1" painted on its side in an abandoned mine. Captioned "The World's Best Mining Cart". Used to follow a Japanese girl's blog. Abandoned amusement parks, the Paris subway and a cathedral rooftop, love hotels, castles ... Lost my bookmarks and haven't been able to find her.
  19. We do. Just not as organized and in the winter at midnight. Suicide Hill was almost vertical. And more dangerous if using a carton from the appliance store's recycling bin instead of a toboggan. Not finding picture of Suicide Hill. This was the bunny slope. Doing reverse doughnuts in the snowy parking lot afterwards in someone's family's minivan really heightened the sensation we were going to tip over and die.
  20. Dirty clothing donated to Goodwill is to sold by the pound to brokers who ship to third world countries. http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/tshirttravels/film.html
  21. gsoda3 must swallow. Save it for your prison boyfriends.
  22. Evidently you and your little faggot buddy RDCornholer have never lived in Japan. The genre I hate is bubblegum rock. Not pertaining to a particular country. There are more embarassments to the USA.
