Random thoughts III

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...

First cassette tape I bought: Maestra Vida (2da parte) - Ruben Blades
First English cassette tape bought: Appetite for Destruction - Guns & Roses
First CD bought: can't remember...

Dammit, you and 55 at least have good claims-to-fame with GNR and Pearl Jam. I'm pretty sure my first cassette was Great White or something crappy. My first CD was Offspring's Smash, so I feel like I redeemed myself a bit.

Did anyone else resist the move to CD's when they first came out? I had amassed a lot of cassettes and was positive that the more expensive CDs would never catch on.

I've since burned everything I have to a hard drive and have very few CD's or cassettes left. My older sibs had vinyl and 8 tracks, but I never bought either.

Yup. I also resisted moving to DVDs, simply because you couldn't record on them in the beginning unless you shelled out big bucks. I have not jumped to BluRay. We've watched it on our son's big screen, but frankly don't see enough difference to warrant the change.
 
Good grief, high traffic night.

I listened to a lot of music when I was a kid...in fact, the stuff I can easiest go back to is 80's music from when I was a kid, and the stuff my parents listened to when I was a kid (hence the 70's-80's country music last night). And yes, I do feel kind of silly listening to 80's music, but hey, guilty pleasure, and I don't listen to music as much anymore. My progression was 80's pop, 90's pop/metal/grunge, 00's hip hop with gangsta rap running thruought in the background...and then pretty much nothing in this decade's music. I also know a lot of oldies, in middle school, I used to listen to the KAT FM 'Cruise' on Friday nights in the summer, all oldies.

This initially confused me very much...

I probably shouldn't admit this, but I can mimic these voices pretty well.

I didn't really resist CDs, but stuck with tapes out of necessity. CDs were too expensive and I could dub whatever mix I wanted onto a cassette. Also, my discman skipped at the slightest breeze so I used my walkman for quite a while for any active work. I slowly amassed CDs and stole/borrowed without permission my brothers CDs.
 
A pregnant lady swimming underwater is in fact a human submarine.

The roof of your mouth is more just a ceiling.

If I touch my phone in the right places pizza will
show up at my door.

Using your laptop to research buying a new one is basically asking to dig its own grave

A birth certificate is basically a baby receipt

What do you think this is; a thread for whatever random thought pops into your head? :mad:

Some day we'll reach a point where your laptop refuses to look up new laptops.

Prepper thread got me thinking that when I'm in my garage unloading after a Costco run, my neighbors probably think I have a bunker under my house.

Does anyone have any OCD-ish concerns about running out of a certain item? I'm usually a stickler for having milk, bread, peanut butter, and some kind of fruit on hand at all times. I have enough canned goods on hand to sustain us for several days, but I can't say that I am stockpiling goods. I view it as more common sense than anything, I guess.

Not food, but if we get less than two packages (not rolls) of toilet paper at my house, my wife acts like we are out and will mention having to make sure we get toilet paper every day until we get more. If we ever actually get to one roll, she will be a complete head case.

I'm convinced that if something were to happen to us and someone had to clean out our house, they'd think we had some horrible bowel issues and our obituaries would reflect that.

Random conversations have somewhat supplanted random "thoughts" as the mainstay here.

I think dropping in here at the 17,000 post mark would be like watching a single episode of some long running TV series and going all WUT?
