Kid Gleason

Lordy, I just did a search...that picture is from when he was arrested!?! Sorry, but if THAT guy busted into a store with a shot-gun, I would probably faint out of fear! Arnie didn't step in because this guy would make The Terminator look like a little sissy.

I'm glad I've stayed out of these "discussions". One question though, how tall was this guy? He's friggin' HUGE build wise, and if he was a tall guy...man, he's one bad ass looking guy. I've got my thoughts on him and what should have happened, and they aren't what some of you might think. But, ya know, this is all such an ugly topic. I don't have it in me now. I just wanted to comment on how that guy was friggin' massive. Was he like that when he was arrested, or is that prison make-up?

My house with the family home. No place on earth could ever compare or compete. To quote Eek The Cat, "it's where I keep my stuff".

First up is Hellfueled. They are a Swedish band, mixture of great Rock, Sabbath, and Ozzy with Zakk harmonics. I wouldn't call them a "rip-off" as their tunes are really good, and not exactly like the bands that influenced them: http://come.to/hellfueled Next is sHeavy. I've loved these guys for years. VERY Sabbath at times, be with better riffs and much more energy, especially on the past few albums. The vocalist has even played with Sabbath at times. http://www.sheavy.com/ sound samples of sHeavy: http://www.tyler.demon.co.uk/riseabove/bands/sheavy.html

Tastes great!!! Less filling!!!

QUOTE(WSFAN35 @ Dec 12, 2005 -> 12:54 PM) that was a rumor, you're terribly mistaken That should be green, right? Or is this a part of his joke or something?

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Dec 12, 2005 -> 10:42 AM) I have DVD clone, and I copied the dvds but cant seem to get them to play on my player, what am I missing? Probably a player that can read DVD-R or DVD+R. If you have an older player, it won't read the discs. Any new player will be able to read it.

Even though the movies suck, Star Wars I-III have great sound. I have also heard that Twister is supposed to be a great one for sound.

I was watching TV late Saturday night and I saw the news. They interviewed Jimmy Walker. Jimmy and RP were friends for years. Jimmy made sure people knew that Pryor was a jerk to people and could be a pretty mean guy. I think that spoke more about their friendship, and Pryor, that almost any "tribute" you will see. You just know that Pryor would want people to talk truthfully about him and to not sugarcoat who and what he was. I loved Pryor, even as a kid. Is there anybody who grew up seeing that man before he took ill that doesn't like Pryor. Everything about him was great, aside from the drugs. RIP Rich.

Hopefully I will get my daughter to it over the weekend.

QUOTE(Soxy @ Dec 9, 2005 -> 09:23 AM) Eh, I was going to go with My friend Courtney and an ipod. . . And then I would give my lab a new soundproof booth, running software, and new computers. . . Oh, and then maybe I would give Texas the "gift" of snow. . . That's cool then. These types of questions just scare me, because the second you say something like I want to give an X-Box to my kid, then the next person chimes in with "dinner with Jesus for the Pope" and then you feel stupid. There was a question on another board years ago as to who you would want to have dinner with. I posted Joe Lansdale (my favorite author) and felt cool about it. 25 replies of "Jesus" later I felt pretty stupid. I just want to figure out what that "ideal" gift is for my wife so that I could feel good about what I buy her just for once.

Is this one of those loaded questions where if you don't say "peace on earth" or "the gift of life" of whatever, but instead say a "diamond bracelet for my wife" then you suck?

Since I don't want to step on toes in the Lennon thread, and I don't think too many are going to be familiar with this guys passing, but he was a HUGE part of my life in musical influences, and this is the anniversary of his death:

40 minute drive became a 1 hour and 20 minute drive. Not bad compared to some of you. I have to go shovel the drive now, and then sit and sweat while waiting for my wife to get home. Her shift ends at 11:30.

We could have gotten either of my Grandma's and I would have been happy with it, and one grandma has been dead for 10 years, and the other for over 20 years. Either way, it would have been an improvement.

QUOTE(Iwritecode @ Dec 8, 2005 -> 12:18 PM) I was going to mention that but I didn't want to embarass you. Part of my quest in life is to embarass him, since he seems to take great pleasure in doing that to me.

I got 22, and I'm not even the right age to be considered a "Baby Boomer". Born about 25 years too late.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Dec 8, 2005 -> 11:04 AM) 22 right. And I don't know the Beatles' last album, and I don't care! I think it was Abbey Road, but it could have been Let It Be. Who knows? Not me. Why are you worried about the last album? It wasn't one of the questions. Screwtosser.

I don't know the song, but Erasure was mentioned, and that will keep me a million miles from it.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Dec 8, 2005 -> 07:09 AM) Ouga Chaka ouga! .... OK old timers, without googling, what song does that open? That could just as easily have been answered by almost any minor film fan, thanks to Tarantino.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Dec 7, 2005 -> 10:21 PM) Some Queen song or another (some days it would be "Under Pressure," others, "Save Me," and others "It's a Beautiful Day."). Did you get your tickets for the show yet?

Not that anybody but my Mom cares, but I was 10.

"I Think I'm Wonderful" by The Damned.

QUOTE(Steff @ Dec 7, 2005 -> 04:07 PM) Sounds like the guy had every opportunity to give up the bag. Yeah, but I've heard he had the XXX-Mas edition of Juggs magazine in there!!! That thing is like GOLD!!!
