    Nostalgia - Childhood Toys

    We must be the same age... I never shut up about how bad-ass my Green Machine was. When both mom and dad's cars were out of the garage I'd ride that f*cker from the other end of the block to get up to speed, dive into the open garage, crank the levers, and do a wicked cookie on the smooth...

    Hey Millennials, want to feel old?

    Don't even THINK about taping a cheat sheet to the inside of the cover of that TI-83...

    USS Arizona - After all this time . . .

    The Iowa was the only ship in the fleet outfitted with a bathtub, reason being that FDR couldn't use a shower due to being disabled by polio. Had FDR not died, and was still president, the surrender would absolutely have been on the Iowa.

    This better be an April Fools joke.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    You said it, I can see this happening simply because the SEC and B1G will keep their tomato cans…

    (Almost) Perfect Record Albums...

    Agreed but it’s one of my favorite WHO tunes so it gets a pass from me…and it’s Ox’s tune, which makes me love it even more.

    (Almost) Perfect Record Albums...

    If you consider Dark Side as a concept album it’s easier to accept the difference in Money simply because it was a song Waters wrote as a kid…so it has some autobiographical context for its inclusion on the record. In a sense it’s supposed to be different, as a stop along the journey. The...

    It’s my favorite song on the record followed closely by L’America.

    (Almost) Perfect Record Albums...

    I consider Wish You Were Here to be perfect. In my opinion it's flawless. Not one note or lyric out of place. It's a truly remarkable work of art.

    This is another big one for me. IMO LA Woman is perfect except for Jim Morrison's ridiculous harmonica imitation on Cars Hiss By My Window. Remove those seconds from the record and it's absolutely flawless.

    (Almost) Perfect Record Albums...

    I love it. I LOVE MoR...but on balance I just don't get as much out of tunes like Lord of this World and After Forever as everything on Vol 4. Different strokes... MoR is an absolutely complete album though. If they filled that minute and a half that FX takes up on Vol 4 with Orchid it would be...

    I actually like Mother better than Miss Gradenko...but yeah, nearly perfect record.

    (Almost) Perfect Record Albums...

    I'm a big Black Sabbath fan and my favorite Sabbath LP is Vol 4. I'm of the age where I grew up consuming records as a complete work of art... so listening to all of it as one composition. Side one, track four ("FX") is just someone(s) fooling around with sound effects. It breaks up what...

    On That Note: Second, Minute or Hour

    SIAP…this is about tabs from sheets of blotting paper. It’s about dropping acid, LSD, not time.
