  1. Awww, c'mon Slave, I was just joking with ya. If you like I can send you a Bloomin Onion, whaddya say? G'day mate
  2. Hey now, don't get all judgemental on us Americans, it's not like we appropriated and bastardized some ancient pagan rite of harvest simply for profit
  3. Hoy shit man, does Obamacare cover that
  4. I actually started watching it a few months ago on Netflix, me and the wife were "addicted" immediately! We went through the whole show, all five seasons in two months and caught up right when the last three episodes were airing. I have to admit, I watched it a couple of times when it first came out but my self-righteous indignation made me hate the concept of this show from the get go. I could not fathom watching a show with such a fucked up premise. However, several years passed, I pulled the stick out of my ass, and found I enjoyed the show for the journey. Watching WW & Jessie go through their changes and becoming what they were was well worth it. Great show!
  5. ^ God Damn Strider, you just made me piss myself with that last sentence and graphic!!!
  6. We are not mocking you, some of us just think you are going a bit over the top is all. Hey, if if the show has made a positive impact on your life and you think it is the greatest show of all time, good for you, who am I to argue. It's all good my friend, no offense. Now go home and get your fuckin' shine box!!! (That was a joke, and a reference to another iconic piece of media).
  7. ^ Well Strider, looks like he officially jumped the shark.
  8. Hey Kingzoso, you are right, I was joking yet you even took my failed attempt at humor to heart. I was just making a funny, I know Miami Vice was a cheesy show that was the whole point! Jesus Christ, Breaking Bad is an awesome show, cures cancer, will bring about world peace, and if men watch it, it makes their junk grow too! Happy now???
  9. What!!! More powerful than the Miami Vice episode with Ted Nugent???? C'mon now.
  10. Jesse was my favorite character, I really thought they were going to kill him off and what Jack's ass-posse did to him over the course of those last three episodes was inhuman. Killing his girlfriend right in front of him, you could see he was in a hell beyond explanation. If he ever stars in a motion picture with a good script, homeboy gonna walk away with an Oscar.
  11. Yes, I agree. I think Kingzoso is going a bit overboard on the love for Breaking Bad. It is a good show, one of the best indeed but not the best, in the top 10. Comparing WW to JP is silly because it is apples to blue meth! WW character was great but he was also a piece of shit who contributed nothing, he himself was a cancer and ultimately consumed all around him. Fuck WW! Rest in pieces...BITCH!!!! Great show though.

  13. I really like Terry Reid though I kind of view him in the same vein as Roy Harper. I think he preferred it small and intimate, don't think he courted fame nor really wanted it. Though had he taken Page up on the offer I believe without Bonham and the Plant dynamic the band would have been good but probably remained somewhat underground. Maybe two or three albums and that's it, a minor blip on Rock music's radar. That is not an insult to Mr. Reid mind you, it's just that a perfect storm is just that, all element must be perfect and in the right place, move something around just a bit and...POOF! Just imagine the Stones without Jagger, Gun's & Roses without Axl, Pink Floyd without Roger Waters. Wait, forget that last one, we all know how that turned out.
  14. No kidding, as crazy as my experiences were I was still a man and could defend myself. Women bartenders always take much more shit and have to worry about the creepers both during, and end of shift. I have always been respectful of bartenders and never hassled them, if they come to me for conversation that is one thing, but I know they have a job to do so I never engage outside of please and thank you. I must admit, I love a good, old fashioned, classy upscale hotel bar the best. The Palmer House in downtown Chicago is my all time favorite, however Durant's in downtown Phoenix, Huber's in Portland, and of course The Spotted Cat and Fritzel's in New Orleans are all damn good!!! Honorable mention to Sweet Lorraine's.
  15. What d I think of that? Well, I hope you had better luck than I, that is what I think! In Chicago all the choice bartending jobs back i the late 80's went to the sexy ladies, or in the case of high end restaurants, older and very experienced ladies and gentlemen. So, I wound up at the Galaxy Bowling alley on Theodore St in Joliet, two miles down the road from Statesville Prison. The bar was a slaughterhouse. I actually came in to apply for a bouncers job however they took one look at my 5'11" 185 lbs frame and said no way (the smallest bouncer was 6'2" and 250 lbs). They did however offer me a job as a bartender even though I had zero experience (well, I did open beer cans at parties) so I figured what the heck. One of the bouncers took pity on me and instructed me what to do and what NOT to do in certain situations. I was told under no circumstances was I to try and break up fights and most importantly, NEVER turn your back on a pissed off woman in particular. I learned the hard way on that last one. One night a recently paroled guy and his lady friend were at the bar drinking shots, neither one was talking at all. After about 20 min the guy (a little dude, about 125 soaking wet) hauls off and busts the woman square in the nose...blood flying everywhere! I vault the bar, grab the guy and start screaming what the hell is your problem as I begin to throw him out. Just then (as my back was turned of course) this woman, about 95 lbs, jumps on my back and proceeds to beat the living shit outta me, scratching, gouging, punching, kicking, biting...the full monty! I could not get this woman off of me to save my life (which was soon to come to an end) but then one of the bouncers came, ripped this woman off my back, and throws her about 10 feet through the air. She lands back first on a two top ( I seriously thought this should have killed her or paralyzed her in the least), tumbles to the ground, jumps up like some possessed fucking cat, and runs balls out of the bar...gone! So there I a standing looking like a seriously chewed up piece of meat and the bouncer who saved me smiles and said, "it's bad enough you ignored rule number one, but never ignore rule number two...a woman will fuck up a man quicker that Mike Tyson if she sets her mind to it." So, that was me bartending experience! Rough guys, even rougher women, and never once during my year and a half as a bartender did I have a Cocktail (movie) moment. No hot ladies vying for my attention (there were none in that joint), and not a single Piper Parabo on the staff, actually the two ladies we did have working looked more like Roseanne. Good Times
