Up late tonight wrapping presents. Sense a theme?
I loved My Little Ponies when I was little. I even had the nursery, or was it an orphanage? I don't remember, but it was awesome to play with. It even had a baby pony swing.
I listened to a crap load of hair bands with my brother. Also some old school RUSH. Then he progressed into the beginning of the alternative/grunge era before I started really liking my own bands more than his music.
I'm much more into alternative, especially 90s alt, than my brother now. There's SOME good stuff coming out now, but I know I'm getting old when I'd rather listen to stuff from the 90s than stuff that just came out.

And the book be the origin of:
"Fifteen men on the dead man's chest--
...Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
Drink and the devil had done for the rest--
...Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!"
May have to drop that down onto the Kindle and do a reread. Inner sloth is suggesting reading rather than working on productive stuff today....Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!

Music memories:
First purchase: Chipmunk Rock on vinyl before vinyl was 'retro-cool'.
Having to return Huey Lewis and the News "Sports" cassette when my mom heard "I Want a New Drug" despite our insistence that if she really listened, it was anti-drugs, talking about all the side affects of drugs.
Of course, that quickly led to dubbing and learning to hide stuff, and I wore the **** out of Run DMC's "Raising Hell" dubbed tape, and NWA's "Straight Outta Compton" that were dubbed from a friends' older brother. I later bought both.
First CD that I bought was Aerosmith's "Get a Grip" album (and really, out of all the Aerosmith albums to buy as a first, that turd?...but it was just released.
And for the record, I bought 45's first - I think my first purchase was "Sealed With A Kiss" by Brian Hyland. My first album was "Meet the Monkees". Still have it, as a matter of fact.
I think she said class of 06, which would make her around a year younger than me, and you're not 11 years older than me.
A man with too much time on his hands and no female guidance is like a flashing vacancy sign for sloth!
Get a Grip wasn't complete shite. I borrowed my brothers copy for a while but previous albums were better.
I felt like a ninja listening to Parental Advisory albums with my headphones on.
I had a Chipmunks Christmas 8-Track when I was REALLY young. My parents had an 8-Track/Turn Table in their bedroom that I used a lot. I had a Star Wars music 8-Track as well and stole my brother Kiss 8-Tracks and his copy of Thriller on vinyl.
I can tell you what the b-side song is on the 45 Satisfaction by the Stones. :smile:
55 should probably know that there are known sexagenarians posting here.
Whew, glad you caught that, pants, I thought I read 26. Nickels, I'm not thaaaat old, then, I'm at the late end of the decade you're in.
06, 5 year plan (changed majors a few times). Just to make it easy, I'm 32.
Let me reimagine this for you:
"And when he saw my imposing physique he bolted like a scared rabbit."
Hey, what you guys want to do in the privacy of your own home is your business. But don't bring it into here and get this thread closed!
I picked my boys up from church camp in Newton the summer that they were at their peak popularity. The entire way home they were doing those freaking voices. It took every ounce of tolerance in me to not tie them to the bumper and keep driving...
