        I felt a particular joy last night watching for the first time since its theatrical release. Beyond nostalgia, I think one of the best action comedies that's more satisfying than a lot of what's come out since, as cheesy as it may seem today.

        That used to be one of my go-to's for auditioning HT gear back in the day - the helicopter scene with the bridge and the box truck was mind-bending aurally at the time!

        I choose not to question the mysterious ways of SBAF's overlords, for they are wiser than us and their decisions are likely only fully understandable by the Gods. That, I think, is the healthy attitude to take.

        My feeling is that people generally hate Slipknot, recordings not conducive to mid-fi+ audio chains, but I still occasionally queue them up because I'm a fan of Joey Jordison.

        One of my all-time favorites. I hated 1979 when it came out since the video came on MTV every 1/2 second, but I love it now.

        Saw Billy Corgan do an unmic'd solo version at Ryman Auditorium and it was one of the best concert moments I've ever witnessed.

        Mustang GT is fun for not too much money. My buddy bought one a couple years ago and has gradually added factory performance packages to where it’s now just shy of 500hp.

        Some people think that they will die if near someone without a mask. When put in a perceived life or death situation, they may resort to violence. But there’s the irony of physical contact......

        Perhaps the only good thing about HIV/AIDS was that people could, ever after, walk into a shop and buy condoms. Embarrassment gone. Although, come to think of it, I never tried walking down the street wearing one.

        @DigMe i agree 100% but many skip starting with the basics and go straight for the easy way out. And this is not with just kids but in general, a more holistic approach is probably more beneficial in the long run than trying to find bandaids for everything. Speaking as a former special needs kid who did not receive what was needed and had to clean up the mess left as an adult.
