  1. We had one of those types in our school with regard to musical equipment. Dude claimed in 8th grade and all through high school that he had a 4 cab rig (2 Full stacks of I believe Marshalls, as well as a Randall Warhead, Dimebag style) and all kinds of crazy guitars and basses. So naturally we started wanting him to come play in bands, especially on bass since like nobody played it. Well anytime you were supposed to hang out, or he was supposed to come over to practice, dude was nowhere to be found and never picked up the phone. It became a running joke that stuck with him when he started coming back around in our 20s. Basically anything he'd say, someone would cut him off and jokingly shout "Tell the truth" or "Stop lying" to him.

  3. People also tend to forget that Family Matters was a spinoff of Perfect Strangers. In that case, the spin off surpassed the original.
  4. Damn shame what happened to Sasha Mitchel (actor who played Cody.) During the show's run, he got arrested on a domestic violence charge against his wife at the time and was fired. Later, despite all this, the courts gave him custody of the kids. It's strange because it used to be on his wikipedia and easy to find elsewhere, but now seems to have disappeared from the internet with the exception of people mentioning it, but there were interviews done in the mid 2010's where he explained that his ex wife was a heavy drug user and was physically abusing the children and he restrained her in a manner that they deemed abuse at the time of the call, but that the whole thing eventually got thrown out and he ended up with full custody. Damage was already done and his career never recovered. Idk what to believe now, but it's really weird how the contrary claims are all gone and all you see now is the news articles from 95-97 during the time of the incident.
  5. Except that he didn't know. He was all set to renew his contract and the network literally never called him back so he figured they just didn't want him back. It just came out the other month.
  6. Try the Monkey. Drink it down to the bottom of the triangle of the neck, the refill with OJ. Close the cap, turn the bottle sideways to mix, open and enjoy. Everyone who tried it admitted it was surprisingly good. IDK how it would taste with Mickey's, but I can tell you that OE is the standard and IMO best way, followed by Private Stock. Colt 45 Brass Monkey just tastes wrong. Hell if you are in the Northeast, I'll straight up supply the monkey if you roll the blunt. Post Covid-19 of course.
  7. I knew about them and used to see games that looked cool in magazines and on the limited gaming tv shows at the time. I even tried them out in some stores back then as well. But I didn't know a single person who actually owned one. I thought 3DO was actually pretty cool and even owned one like 15 years ago until it was wrecked in a flood. In 93 when it first dropped it really was decently cutting edge in comparison to everything else. It was just way too fuckin expensive and all of the publishers dropped off or ported their exclusives over to Playstation and Saturn when it sold poorly. I mean $700 for a console is steep as fuck today. $600 in 06 made PS3 have a very rocky start. $700 for a console in 93 was just ludicrous. CDi was a steaming pile of garbage and Neo Geo was 16bit arcade hardware, which is awesome and definitely has the best lineup of the bunch, but not really in the same vein as 3DO and CDi.
  8. More like a ghetto mimosa, which is actually a nickname for it. I had some Four Loko when that shit first came around, so the original recipe that was banned, and that shit was awful. Tasted like pure chemicals and just straight up put me in a fighting mood. Never drank that shit again.
  9. I may be past that point in my life, but I'll never be too good for a Brass Monkey. Made with Olde English of course. Or it's imported tasting Private Stock based variation that we lovingly referred to as Monkey Privates. That shit just don't taste right with Colt 45 though.
  10. This is the Grammar Police. We have a warrant for your arrest.
  11. I still don't see where either of them can fire bullets 3,251 feet per second to deliver 1300 foot pounds of kinetic energy.
  12. Ouch. That just sounds like one of those things that sounds horrible and is in reality even worse.
  13. You aren't kidding about head butts. Especially to the bridge of the nose.
  14. So sorry that the gif showing a technique that would be used in a melee situation didn't add in a bunch of extraneous people to obscure the view of the techniques the wish to demonstrate. What a bunch of morons, right?
  15. Oh No!! It's almost as though a long rifle can be used as a melee weapon!! Whodathunkit?
  16. IDK, maybe that arms, which is generally interpreted by supporters to mean guns, are mentioned as a right in the constitution and have a massive lobby as well as a fuckload of supporters whereas collapsable batons do not. But if you wanna believe your version, then by all means continue bringing a stick to a gunfight.
  17. Hahaha. Kinda ignores the fact that the gun, where the closer you are to the target the higher the force of impact and can still operate with the barrel end touching the target, just has to hit more or less any spot once to be super effective while a stick needs to hit the right spot with enough force, force that is proportional to the distance of the swing meaning close quarters kinda suck if you don't have room to swing the thing, in order to be effective at all.
  18. Chicken Cutlets. Standard NY Italian style. Chicken breast cutlets, Egg, 4C seasoned breadcrumb, shallow fry in a pan on the stove.
  19. Just to clarify, by palette swap, which changes an entity's color in a game, I in no way meant antifa or political association, but the color of the actors involved. Same scenario, same "cause", same actions, same guns, majority made up of people of color. I get that Michigan has open carry laws, but states with open carry laws also have laws against using that right in an attempt to intimidate or assert ones will over another. Furthermore, and this might just not be the law in Michigan so I am actually not sure the legal ramifications, but in many jurisdictions, it is currently illegal to intentionally attempt to spread, or threaten to spread the covid-19 infection. By getting right up in the officer's faces unmasked, and screaming at them, they absolutely risk spreading the infection if they currently have it. Certain jurisdictions would see that as 1 of the aforementioned offenses and a cause for arrest. So, an armed mob storming a capitol building in an attempt to directly intimidate the Governor, let's repeat that part just to let it set in, the Governor, into lifting a statewide order, while acting in a manner that absolutely will put state officials and law enforcement at risk of infection during a pandemic should any one of them be an asymptomatic carrier is allowed to carry on without repercussion. My previous comment implied that were this same mob not white, the outcome would have been very different.
  20. And as of a few hours ago when I last checked, no arrests had been made. An armed group storming the capitol to the point where the Governor is barricaded in her office, and the police barely put up a fight and no arrests are made. I betcha if the group had undergone a palette swap, if you catch my drift, there'd not only be arrests but also people dead while the media called them terrorists or radicals rather than protestors.
  21. I feel like it's a combination of high prices of not just movies, but everything else, especially necessities, combined with close to 20 years of more or less stagnant wages that killed the popularity for a lot of things that millenials get blamed for killing. Kinda hard to justify paying 20 bucks to go see a movie when you don't really have any money left over after rent, healthcare, and insane student loan bills. 2020 prices at 2003 wages was bound to have a negative effect on the general economy at some point.
  22. This came out in 88 so things were hand drawn for quite a while afterwards. You are right that nowadays your are hard pressed to find anything hand drawn. On of the big draws (pun intended) for Akira's animation was that it was actually done at a full 24 fps vs being done on 2s like many other cartoons or even on 3s for some lower budget faire.
  23. I love how the Super C commercial straight up tells you that the game is hard and taunts you for not being able to handle it.
