  1. It's just amazingly better in person. My cousin Noreen is a travel agent. Feel free to get in touch. She's busy for this package, but she'll try to get you in as soon as she can.
  2. I mean, good call on starting this with Sagat. I think he's absolute garbage, but I appreciate your fond memories- nobody can take those from you. I'm basically not very good at cheese- I identify cheese, and it's pretty well locked out for good, but there are exceptions, and the Enchanted Water Show at Enchanted Forest (somewhere around Salem, Oregon) is one of them. To place the scene, you walk into the most budget-friendly food option of Oregon's finest amusement park. The park is based on non-copyrighted fairytales- think, Old Mother Hubbard and Humpty Dumpty. Beyond some crazy ish, it's got a very respectable log-ride, tiny but fun coaster and a bad-ass haunted house. Everything about it is terrible... except, it's not- it's kinda fun having to crawl though the various nursery rhymes... Without a doubt, though, the worst attraction in the park has got to be the Enchanted Water Show... except it's my favorite thing there. ) So you walk into the cheapest place to eat in the park and get your mediocre burger, served by very sweet pimply folks, and sit down for the entertainment- with your packets of French's mustard in hand. I've only been here as an adult, but I'm just somewhere between blown-away, and in love
  3. This isn't going to help your cause at all, but it cracked me up. My buddy Dave had a PC on the fritz for months. It finally hit its last gasp and the screen just said, "dewawble". That was it. It died telling us its final thought.
  4. I didn't start this as no trip down memory lane. This music's alive.
  5. Another soft spot I've got is John Sebastian and The Lovin Spoonfull
  6. Somewhere around 1990 I got to see Roger McGuinn guest artist at a Tom Petty show at the Pacific Amphitheater. The show was already fantastic, then the 'special guest star' shows up onstage... McGuinn with Petty!! He's got his 12 string Rickenbacker and they bust this one out, straight out of the gate
  7. So around 1985 Frankie Yankovic was nominated for 'Best Polka Album' at the Grammy's- it was the first and last time 'Polka Album of the Year' was awarded- more of a lifetime achievement award I think, and good for him. My cousin, who's still an amazing trumpet player, was in a band also nominated for the award. Pretty sure they all knew it was a setup for Yankovic to get a Grammy, but they still had a blast in LA. My family moved West years before and the bandmates mostly stayed with us. I remember one day being the tour guide- we hung out at a beach in Santa Barbara and stopped at the Oxnard Airport on the way back to the house to take a whizz. We walk into this small airport and John Travolta had just landed his personal 727 there, and was walking toward us. It was pretty random, and those guys must've thought you just run into movie stars everywhere you go in LA haha. Whatever it was, it was a blast, and Travolta was absolutely gracious. They went to the Grammy's, didn't get the award, but I'm sure have some great memories to carry them through.
  8. Hmmm, I can find a clip of The Who playing My Generation in 2024, but.... Those were 80's Madonna songs... don't confuse the semi-napping old-timers. ) Just let your mind wander to a peaceful place, watch 'Get into the Groove' and take a deep, nose-forward inhale, it's Madonna's pit-smell after a night at the club.
  9. That's 80's!! I always felt like I could smell her pits watching this video
  10. Classical music alert- beware. This video has always blown my mind. How in the ... was this made in a world before modern gizmos, let alone today Zbigniew knew his stuff.
  11. Pretty sure this is terrible, but I've got a soft spot for it-
  12. I always thought this was one of their finest.
  13. This was actually the first song I thought of to be the first song of this thread- it's absolutely gorgeous. After consulting my bandnamometer, I had to go with either The Electric Prunes or Strawberry Alarm Clock. Funny part 2... or is it trippy - I came to this thread because I've had The Yardbirds swirling around.... and Ralonzo's got them front and center.
  14. Someone unlikely to get assassinated by their running-mate is generally higher on the list of other candidates. Trump has to be the only non-liberal who wanted to 'hang Mike Pence'. Bunch of clowns.
  15. I'n going with Trump-Un, Trump-Orban or Putin-Trump as the likely 2024 Republican election tickets.
  16. Trump's gonna bleed the RNC dry- it's his own kitty money now, And eventually the rest of the candidates are going to rebel. The Republican Party is absolutely ***** from every angle in the coming elections.
  17. It's the same idiots who chant USA USA at any international sporting event. Act like you've been there before, you bloated sacks of protoplasm.
  18. Trying to say, but it couldn't because even the sentence knew it was bull####. I really hate that the most pro-Russia, USA hating bastards have absconded with the Gadsden flag.
  19. Nice spot on the Media Composer reference . )
  20. whoa, so you're telling me I won't even have to remember if my grocery store club app is on the third right swipe, or is it the 4th?? .. what a powerful powerful feature. ) In case I didn't mention it, I couldn't care less about the Apple/Android fight- II just want things that function... except for British cars... they don't have to function, they just have to be. *A note to our British friends, I truly do love the optimism of a people who live in one of the wettest countries on the planet, yet have made more convertibles per capita than any other nation, relentlessly, and in good times and in bad. I currently own a gem off your production lines and, allah willing, will own more of your lovely cars before I am done. **British electrical systems are significantly better than Bosch IMHO
  21. I think the exact quote from people 25 years ago was, "The crap don't work anyhow, and my doctor can't help me get rid of these kind of viruses." *****, Microsoft hadn't even blessed the world with Windows Vista at that point. Everyone was running for cover and trying to discover the 'wonders' of running XP at home. meanwhile those of us on the evil Macintosh were playing an old copy of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood.
  22. First and foremost, I have no idea what the issue is- I don't believe I've ever had a messed up text session with anyone due to the platform either of us uses. I'm really not an Apple crusader, but I'm a big fan of things that work... and British cars. Androids are the British cars in the US. ***** happens when you're competing against Toyota. Sure you can put 4 wheels, an engine and a gearbox in the thing, but that doesn't mean we have to protect your competitive market.
