Open Post: Hosted By A Hatchet-Wielding Homeless Hero

@ MJT...I watch that as well, like Hekki says I find all that stuff fascinating. It's cool when they pull out an old "diary" type of book and they read pieces that the actually person wrote in 1384 or whatever. It's in English but between the handwriting and old English it's almost impossible to read.

Actually after re_reading your comments MJT the one I've watched wasn't a mini series but its a show they do once a week and they talk about a particular Monarch and how he got or lost the thrown or whatever position of power...same idea I guess

@ Hekki...I saw the Maury Povitch DNA reveal as well, not shit, I thought all those eggheads were going to blow a nut or wet their panties with the confirmation.

I think MK should make Richard III the HSOTD tomorrow :)

I heard the press conference on NPR and all the dorks in the room cheered and clapped when the Head Dork announced the DNA results showed it *was* Richard III. That also made me LOL. It was like the Smart Maury show. "You ARE Richard the III's remains!"

ETA: *throws tote bag to MJT*

@ Whamo and Hekki - I've been watching a BBC miniseries about the history of the english crown...so I am extra dorking out :)

Hey Whamo! Yes! You remembered correctly, the one with the tiny little cars.

I was actually looking at Grab Turismo today.
_______________________________________________
Ya man I LOVED that one actually! You could really get in a rhythm with the wheel and get that little sombitch a flyin!!

Grab Turismo! Lol, don't play in the arcade mode, that's where you can jump into a higher end car right off the bat but the cars don't dive the same and you won't get to experience the real game. Having said that when you start a in series mode they make you start off in little what we call "shopping carts" as they are little shibox cars BUT you need to start here for two reasons, one it teaches you how to drive the car so as you work your way up in performance you'll enjoy it and get the most out of each car. All the cars are real cars and they drive and handle as the real ones do. I know that sounds silly but as you get experience you'll learn the "feel" of each car. Secondly when you wins series (don't leave any track until you get a first) you win cars, don't sell the cars you need every make in order to run a particular series. In order to race most races you need s specific car with a specific range in Horse power to run it.
Anyway the point is by the time you get up to the 900horse powered cars you'll able to "feel and float" the thing and ride that racers edge lol!!!

@ Foxxy....Zac Starkey, brilliant drummer wasn't he! As well yes Simon Townsend surprised the shit out of me too. It must be tough to have such a talented and famous brother to play in the shadow of, he is a super talent in his own right.
Roger had his dress shit fully unbuttoned and for a 65(?) Year old dude there was nothing embarrassing in it, he looked to be in really great shape.
I'm so glad you enjoyed that Foxxy, people just assume "ah old burned out rockers" but HELL NO, they were tight as hell and just nailing song after song after song. It really was a special concert. The reviews for each and every show are pretty much 4 or 5 out of 5!
This buddy I went with and I have been friends for 30 plus years and have seen them in the past so as we get older ourselves it meant a lot to us.

@ Buttons....right now we're playing Forza Motorsports but Gran Turismo is awesome as well. Ya I use to play all the arcade ones too but now shy of having the wicked seat and steering wheel the arcade games gave you the home game graphics and realism blows all of those out of the water.
I'm pretty sure I remember the sprint game, was that the one you could run over little wenches on the track for bonuses and performance, did it have the little cars in various colours? I cant quite remember the names of all of them but I'm sure I played it! Lol

no, sorry, i didn't see your message on Fri, i'll go back and find it. yeah, the acoustic segment was sublime; i was really impressed with PT's playing and the drummer Zac forgot his last name [Ringo's kid]. Simon has a good voice too, was not expecting that! forgot how special Entwhistle was on that bass, and how cool that guitar looked!!! there was a b/w shot during the first Moon video that made me smdh - he was soooooooooo fucking out of it, and not in a good way.

i'm surprised they didn't announce Roger's no weed smoke request at the start of the concert. it was Oakland after all, what did he think was going to happen? he went all the way through Quad without saying anything - he made the announcement during the break before the greatest hits part. and i could not believe those still hot peepaws did not take an intermission before the hits segment -- standing ovation, introduce the band [hilarious how no one introduces Roger or Pete to the crowd, yes, no need to do THAT lol], then boom right back into it.

Mike if you are around my suggestions for places to visit are...

Ecological park Chipinque, it's up the mountain and you get a beautiful view of the city.

The obis paso. An old timey church that is a museum but you get a different view of the city and mmmmm cola de caballo. A waterfall and there's a bungee jump there.

Places to eat... Los arbolitos, sea food galore. La Felix, fancy Mexican food, San Carlos, meat restaurant, there is this classic place called El Castor, is basically the same meat as the fancy San Carlos but way cheaper and it's always packed. I take all my vivid its there. When I didn't live in Mexico and would visit I would go there every time.

Hope you have a blast. Always take cabs from the hotel. Is not dangerous anymore (as dangerous) but take precautions. :)

Don't blame me! I voted for Kodos!

Whamo! What racing games do you play? There were a couple on the PS1 that were fun, I even liked Mario Kart racing on the N64.

I am utterly a solitary video game player, a challenging racing game (vs. the computer!) would be a good addition to my very select video game library.

However, it must be said that my favourite racing games of all time were the old arcade games "Super Sprint" and "Championship Sprint".

Birds-eye view racing, collected wrenches on the track to upgrade your car and, the best part, when ytou crashed a helicopter would fly in from the side of the screen and deposit your new car on the track. Remember that one?

There was no forgetting when it came to her meds because my friend made sure her mom had her meds and everything. However she has tried to wander off to the garage/mail box but as far as I knew she never did it to run away or anything like that, it was more of a concern because she could forget where she was going, also being in her late 90s, falling was a huge concern. However talking to her, just in general convo you'd never know anything is wrong because she was very lucid in that regard. I've noticed that with the few people I've talked too who suffered with Alzheimer's. There is another lady, in her 70s, that is always at the grocery store over here with her husband, who has Alzheimer's, I had stopped in the deli and gotten some lunch one day and decided to sit down and eat in the store's dining area, and she started talking to me, I didn't really think anything of it because that's how folks are around here, especially the older folks. Talking to her I never knew she had anything wrong with her, until her husband mentioned it. I've seen her a few times since then, said hello, each time, carried a small conversation, each time it's like it never happened. It's both sad and bizzaare at the same time. Kind of like the movie 50 First Dates.

@ Foxxy I KNEW you were going to like it, I don't know if you read what I'd wrote before you took off Friday but I mentioned I saw that concert in November and I too said it was one of the best concerts I'd seen in a long long time! I was glad they didn't trot out all their hits. Un fucking believable how well they did that album eh!! The guys on horns were amazing as too. How did you like Keith Moon and Entwhistle's clips, and how freakin good was Entwhistle on that bass!!!??
Townsend's acoustic playing!!?? Like I said it brought a literal tear to my eye at the end!

@ Whamo -- i gave my concert review on the first page of this thread, it was one of the best shows i've been to in my life!!!!

lol, i'm surprised you guys are not wearing wrist braces for the rest of the week after a gaming Saturday ;-P

@ Foxxy....we don't bet on racing but we will bet on golf once in a while. For the racing games we just take turns but we have to get a gold (1st place) on every track before we move on. When you play you win cars and credits which you need to apply either to get into a different series with a specific car or you need credits/cash to buy parts and upgrade your car to make it competitive. There are 80 some odd series with 3 to 5 tracks on each series so it takes months and months to clean up every single series and every track. By the time you get near the end you've have million dollar cars that are freaking rocket ships, it's pretty intense actually. Lol:)

Hey that's right, so how were The Who!?? I hope you liked it!

Hey horz!! Thanks for the advice!!

Jack - This is pretty much my train of thought. I was in this situation many times in the military, the difference being I wouldn't have touched any of my military buddies wives with a ten-foot clown pole.

She's something else. Stunningly gorgeous and extremely friendly and bright. I think, "The man who won her heart must be some kind of man." Certainly not the kind of man I want to screw over (pardon the pun).

I was at that same concert!!!! We got off I-75 on the wrong exit and The Who were sitting in 2 separate limos (windows down so it WAS them)at a light. We were screaming, honking, and waving FOOLS.
_______________________________________________________
OMG! That is awesome! I luv Roger Daltry! The people I was with had all dropped acid and the guy who was driving missed the exit and backed up on I-75. I was like what the hell are you doing? I didn't know they all tripping (I wasn't, I was too goody-goody.) We parked really far away and had to climb over the fence that surrounds the stadium. Good times.

i swear i spent the past three days either on a train, partying or on my feet. went to SF/Oakland Fri for Who show, then train back home Sat, cooked food for Sun-yapped in OP here-bed, back on train early yest. went back and forth between two friends' bars for game (they're across the street from each other), people brought food and they had pizza delivered. was pretty much standing, pacing or jumping up and down the whole 3+ hours. and today my knees are leting me know how much they did not appreciate any of that, lol

____________________________________________
During the winter a small group of old buddies get together every second or third Saturday and we take turns making a meal hanging out and get really hammered, high and race on the Xbox. Now you're probably thinking Xbox...really Whamo...and how old are you!? Well we've been playing these racing games since we were in our 20s and the games, graphics and realism of these games are so good now I don't think we'll ever stop. We only race or play Golf...for hours and hours. No shooting games either. Anyway it was my turn this weekend so I did up a spaghetti with garlic bread. It was a good night! I just took it easy at home for the game Sunday though. How about you?

"bystandards" seems more than a mispronunciation. I think if he had to define "bystanders" on a written test he'd claim it's not a word. I have a terrible education and I'm probably stupid anyway and don't know it, so I try not to judge but people saying the wrong word, or writing the same lazy way they talk, really seems ignorant to me.
People say "should've" for "should have" for example, and then someone hears it as "should of" and then they write "should of." "I should of know better!" "No you shouldn't "of" because you're obviously dense."
