You would think that but right now he's watching Big Brother with his mommy and they've been discussing it like they're in some MIT think-tank.

Jesus. I've seriously not tried to mess up any thread here. Heck, people were whining about me in here when I hadn't even posted anything. For the most part I've kept shtick out of here. I firmly believe I could post an incredibly comical yet insightful dissertation and it'd somehow piss you people off and you'd whine about it for pages. How crabby are you guys? Relax, really, it'll be okay.'Josie Maran said:

I worked at Evolution Records in 1978 when My Aim Is True came out. Looked at it on the new release wall for a week or so before I couldn't stand it anymore, then opened it up and played it (none of us had ever heard of or listened to him before). It probably changed the way I look at and appreciate music more than anything else I've ever listened to.

We have a Hannah, but there are a few people who insist on pronouncing it HON-nuh. "Hannah" rhymes with "banana."

friend of mine in college met a kid through one of his girlfriends.. the kid wound up tagging along with my friend one afternoon when my buddy was coming up to the room for some weed smoking. our room being a central hangout for bunches of people.
somehow he got the impression that we were instant friends and that we all wanted him to be around 24/7. guy would show up at any time of day or night, knocking at the door trying to attach himself to whatever we were doing.
we figured out on the first day that he was off. on day 2 when we tried to split to dinner without him grabbing on to our shirt-tails he said "i've never seen you guys act like this before.. you're usually so cool".
we made it clear to him that we were not his friends, that his behavior went past just strange and that it was in his best interest to stop coming by our room. but he persisted like a kicked puppy. he would show up in the dining hall. at parties. at bars we were at. at the basketball court, etc.
took us weeks to shake this kid. nothing worked. ignoring him didn't work. telling him to beat it didn't work. actually fleeing the scene when we saw him didn't get the point across.
the only way we were finally able to lose the kid was because he somehow attached himself like a remora to another group of people. he found a common interest and moved on to suck the life out of their crew.

I'm going to Vegas in 6 hours for the weekend with just the guys.Unfortunately, I'm married (faithfully) and a degenerate gambler, so the only stories I'd have to share will probably be too tame to even type.'Buck Bradcanon said:I don’t gamble and Im going to Vegas next weekend.

First day back on campus. I walked into the MEN's room near my first class and see a POST IT note stuck on the mirror with a female English professor's name and office number.
I've been trying to figure it out how it got there, but I'm totally stumped.

That's so odd. I'm the same age as you more or less and I have 2 high school friends who became Nuclear Engineers on Navy subs after HS. What was it about the late 80s? Just enough downturn in the economy, combined with cold ware fury that they navy was out snatching up every smart kid that couldn't afford college?

I'll also share my weird childhoold friend story (which I can't remember if I've told in here or not):From 1st Grade to 6th, one of my very best friends lived about 5 blocks from me. Sleepovers to watch Dukes of Hazard and The Incredible Hulk, stickball, the whole 9 yards. In middle school, we got put on different "tracks" so the social convenentions of 7th grade dictated we must drift apart. We never really hung out from that point on even though we remained living near each other all the way through HS graduation.Anyway, fast forward about 19 years and I'm living in Colorado. I get a call at work and some guy is going "Hey Jack - guess who this is?...It's <Old Friend>". Turns out he had been living in Colorado for a few years and had heard that I lived there too so started tracking me down. To make matters even stranger, he lived right around 5 blocks from me nearly 2000 milse and 20 years from when we last lived 5 blocks away from each other. We got together for beers and actually became good friends again.

I knew a Hana who pronounced it that way, but that's different. "Hannah" is in the Bible, not like it's some made-up rich person's name.

Even the most boring stories out of Vegas are better than any stories from home.'Buck Bradcanon said:I'm going to Vegas in 6 hours for the weekend with just the guys.Unfortunately, I'm married (faithfully) and a degenerate gambler, so the only stories I'd have to share will probably be too tame to even type.'Buck Bradcanon said:I don’t gamble and Im going to Vegas next weekend.

I don't want to be the guy to tell anyone that they can't iHangout anywhere else, but it'd too bad that we'd lose good posters from this thread b/c of Woz being, well, Woz.
Proposal: Woz, why don't you start your own personal thread? Anecdotes from your own life, dating advice, etc. Like this thread, but with more of a Woznian flavor? I dunno.

I graduated in 91 and was hounded by Navy recruiters about that program. I think it had to do with a score I made on a test (ASFAB?) in high school. After telling them repeatedly that I was not interest (even told 'em I had caught teh gay a couple of times), I finally let one of them schedule a visit at my home. I left about 30 minutes before the time. That pissed them off and they left me alone.

I have this female cousin...I might have told the story of her making her kids wear safety glasses when they had a Silly String fight...who is pretty weird.
She as Caucasian as they come. She makes Amanda Seyfried look like Dikembe Mutombo. GM looks like George Hamilton next to her. She married a guy whose parents were born in El Salvador. Her husband, while technically 'Hispanic', is 100% Americanized and looks more Italian than anything. Her kids, while not as crackerish as her, would never be mistaken for being part Latino.
For some reason she decided to give her kids very Spanish sounding first names. Their last name is Spanish. She insists that their names are pronounced with the proper accent. Her daughter is named Claudia...you MUST say it like CLOUD-EE-UH. Do NOT screw that up.
The whole thing is a little weird.
