  1. Art Vandelay

    Led Zeppelin

    Grew up in the area and bought countless used CDs at that place.
  2. Holy shit, I thought the same thing. Lulz.
  3. Art Vandelay

    Led Zeppelin

    Same here. Bought mine at Tower Records on the Drag. Still have it (and Box Set 2 as well).
  4. That, and the Purple Heart was sort of a no-brainer considering his injuries.
  5. You have lost a LOT of hair.
  6. Wasn't there a TV movie or mini-series based on it in the 80s? I vaguely remember that.
  7. Nailed it. I'm a right leaning guy, but I'm very impressed with Beto. "Refreshing" is a great way to characterize him, for me. Everything is so negative and partisan these days, but he is positive and talks about actually serving Texans and addressing problems, without constantly pointing fingers at the other side. I wish there were more candidates like him, R or D.
  8. I only wish I'd taken a picture like the one of Gideon. However, Quaid probably would've caused a scene at that point.
  9. Still works for me, unfortunately. Actually made it to 1:35, but only because I passed out about 30 seconds in and came to about a minute later. I think my body was employing some sort of defense mechanism.
  10. About 7-8 years ago I was having dinner/drinks at a bar in East Austin with my then girlfriend. We sit down and I immediately notice Dennis Quaid is sitting at a table with a few other people directly behind my gf. I look at him for a few seconds and then say to my gf, "don't turn around, but Dennis Quaid is sitting right behind you." Well, it's a small place so the table is pretty close and apparently he either heard me, or saw me looking at him, or both. So when I look back at him he is giving me the angry Dennis Quaid stare. Kinda like this, only angrier: And for some reason, it just cracks me up that Dennis Quaid is staring at me like he wants to punch me. My gf says "why are you laughing?" and I'm like "I think Dennis Quaid wants to kill me." /csb
  11. About 16-17 years ago, I was working for a midsize software company in Austin. We'd just hired this product development guy. He seemed a little weird/awkward, but no more so than your average tech nerd. Nice enough guy. One day he tells me he's running for Lt Gov on the Texas LP ticket. I thought he was joking. He wasn't. /csb
  12. What a deal!
  13. The pig says "my wife is a slut."
  14. Ah. Thank you. I was trying to figure out if there was a connection to Seinfeld (my original reference). EDIT: And although I'm an old, I do know who Andre 3K is.
  15. I'm an old so I'm afraid you're going to have to explain this one to me.
  16. EDIT: MAC beat me to it.
  17. Movie casting. Serious business.
  18. I know a guy who named his kid Seven.
  19. Well, it certainly helps that Cruz is such as unlikeable, slimy, spineless opportunist.
  20. False equivalence. The difference is that there are horrifying examples of Sharia Law still in practice today, just as they were in the middle ages. The same can't be said of Christian theocracies, because those don't exist (thankfully). Christianity began reforming over 500 years ago. Islam needs to do the same.
  21. Kramer, listen to me. I'm never going to have a child. If I lose this Frogger high score, that's it for me.
  22. I actually just bought that album (City to City) after reading this thread. I've always loved Baker Street and Right Down The Line.
