Super Bueno!

This thread felt incomplete without it.

have you seen the new retro styled Broncos?  They are pretty sweet.  

 

Yeah, they're badass.  But crazy expensive.  If I'm throwing down that much, I'd rather just get a refurbished vintage or a Mercedes G-Class (G-Wagon).

The more recent rumor news I'm hearing is Lando is going to be a movie, not a TV series.  This is welcome news to me, if true.  Any and all SW works so much better to me on film.

As I get a bit older and my financial responsibilities for my kids shrink every year, I'm starting to shop around for a 'fun' car.  Thanks to my dad, I've become a Mustang guy.  He partially restored a '67 convertible before selling it.  I'm looking to get a GT around 2005 to 2014.  I liked that body style better than the more current, sleeker style.

But I've also been looking at getting a mid-90's Bronco or a late 90's, early 2000's Classic Jeep Cherokee.  There are so many good deals on all these cars in IN, OH, IL.  I just need to pay off my current car first.

AhhahahahahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

A couple I'd like to revisit that I haven't seen since I was a kid to see if they hold up at all:

Ruskies

Cloak and Dagger

My Science Project (I'm sure this one is horrible, lol)

Eliminators (probably terrible)

And another that I can't make up my mind if it classifies as a bad movie (to me) is Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins.  I still love watching this movie.

Gary Wright died? Sad. He had to be in his 70s at least.

 

80.

Yep.  80.  Parkinson's and dementia.

And Buffett's novel, 'Where is Joe Merchant' is a great adventure/detective escapist yarn.  I've read it several times and I cannot believe it was never made into a film.

The "Dream Weaver" singer guy died as well.

No.  Just saying it was impressive he made that much money off his music.  

The dude is smart!  Good on him!  If the stories are true, he started off homeless when moving down to Florida and started playing in local bars.  He has a lot of cheesy work and his later collaborations with shitty country stars are equally as bad.  His early work is genuinely very moving and well written stuff with great arrangements.  It may rub people the wrong way to turn your art into a billion dollar empire but so what.  That just speaks to the power of his songs and his lifestyle.

So, besides Phish just sucking in general as a band, I've now decided all their fans are just as awful. Fuck I hate those kids, and it's not even their fault.

Listening to Phish makes you a terrible parent.  We've all known this for years now.

My neighbor went to a Parrothead meet up in Corpus to morn that death. I can't tell what is a worse fan, Deadheads or Parrotheads.

I don't mind either of them.  Phish-heads take that crown.  Or Kiss Army.  Or Juggalos.

Dude died a billionaire though.

Soooooo.......fuck him?

A dusty Hustler mag circa 1998 is just so much more satisfying.

I had thought Buffett to be just a bit older.  Dude's been around FOREVER.

Here’s another bad thing. Me. I am a completely inept and useless human being.

I wouldn't say that.  You seem to be quite useful and competent at telling us how shitty you are!   I know, I know.....I should be posting these uplifting messages in the 'Say Something Good' thread.

Who knew that selling off a beloved franchise to a massive corporation whose success is based around merchandising and constant iterations of product, would result in the accurate replication of surface level aesthetics and feel, but strip all soul and magic of said franchise? That's never happened before, surely.

 

Zerimar. He knew, and he was right.

On the contrary, the surface level aesthetics and soul and magic being stripped is why I couldn’t get in to the old EU.  That’s why I found Zerimar so entertaining.  Sure he may have been right about what was coming up to be a lot of very mediocre stuff but then he’d declare the old EU is was not being the exact same thing. 

Crossing the streams is bad.

For example, I just learned there’s a thing called maple syrup urine disease, and it can kill you

tell me other horrible things 

Maple syrup that tastes like urine or urine that tastes like maple syrup?

I went to a concert last night and got laid.  Twice.  Well, twice on the laid part....only went to one concert.

I wasn't expecting to feel irrationally angry today, but it happened.  While I was walking down to my mailbox, a guy rolled past me on an electric unicycle.  I guess unicyclists just bring it out of people.

I saw this guy and immediately thought of this thread and decided to take a picture.  For some reason this made me irrationally angry. 

Angry with jealousy.
