That goes for crotches too. I'm from the bushy generation, but a nice crew cut down under is quite refreshing. T.M.I.?

Just for general info for the younger crowd, Dance With Me was originally released in 1973. You're Still The One in 1976.

Love Dance With Me, and The Orleans. And Mikey 'You're Still The One' to remind us of great, forgotten music.

I grew to like Jay Blades form 'The Repair Shop', and he's sometimes on this show.

It's a British TV show, where they stop people at the dump (tip) and take the items they think they can recycle/upcycle. Then they take them to various crafts people to rethink/repurpose. In the end they revisit the original owners and hand over any profit generated. Kind of fun. Watching on YouTube.

I must admit Dusty, I don't know why he'd want to see pics of bald spots either. But best to give the G-man what he wants so...

Happy Birthday!

Sorry, completely missed it.

Truer words have never been spoken.

This jingle was stuck in my noggin for years.

That could be a double entendre.

I see that you've 'Mericanized your definition of chips. Is it difficult not to call them crisps? FWIW I find the British chips and crisps wording more accurate. That doesn't extend to cookies vs. biscuits, but hey, you can't agree on everything. And I imagine Brent consumes more cookies than biscuits, like myself, so would you really want him thinking they're biscuits? After all, science doesn't fully understand the disastrous powers he possesses, and it could be name related.

Oh, that's not so bad. I could live in that.

Not so sure. It looks much worse than just a few years ago.

Similar to my own introduction to music. My two older Brothers definitely sped up my enjoyment of good old rock and roll. Still, my first albums were The Chipmunks and Elvis (Aloha From Hawaii Via Satellite), Around age 10. By the time Aerosmith hit the scene, I was in High School. But I remember pulling into the school parking lot in my '72 Duster with Aerosmith blasting on my Pioneer tuner/cassette, 3 (yes 3) pair of Jensen Triaxle 6 x 9 speakers powered by my Rockford Fosgate "The Punch" amplifier. That however would have been around the time of Toys in the Attic. I thought "Big 10" was so clever. Kids! My first favorite albums were bands such as Procal Harum, Three Dog Night, Blue Oyster Cult, Elton John, Bowie and such.

Oh man, haven't listened to that in many a year. But what the fuck is Irondreamer doing in there? Maybe Peter has a doppelganger?

Thank you Ryan. I remember that lunch well. You and your wife left a lasting impression. Your work with children I find very admirable! We haven't met in person since then, but I do now and will continue to think of you as a friend.

WTF? I'm thoroughly confused! I haven't exchanged a word with Jacob in years! I have no idea where this is coming from. Bazaar!!! However, I'll attempt a reply at what I can only assume ws some kind of drunken rant. Firstly, I don't distinguish between Queer and Gay people. Or Lesbian, Bisexual and Transexual people. We're lumped into one group for a reason. Because we're all discriminated for our sexual identities. They're all my family in this fight. They all deserve the same respect as our heterosexual counterparts. Secondly, I have no memory of you ever coming out to me. That's not to say it never happened, but unlike many, I'm not at all shocked when I hear that someone is coming out as LGBTQ+. So it doesn't leave a real impression or memory. Especially if it's someone I have very little contact with on a day to day basis. When I came out on this forum in 2010 I believe, I had a few members private message me to tell me of their LGBTQ+ status. I did not share those revelations with this forum, because that's not my place to do so. Nor did I have any desire to do so. I felt honored that they'd want to share that with me, but if and when they choose to out themselves is their business and nobody else's. Jacob and I have never shared any kind of comradery on either forum. He was always standoffish to me, and I let that be. I remember the first time we met face to face. It was in 2010, Chicago Can Jam, just before I came out. I wanted to meet everyone I could face to face before coming out, because I wanted them to meet Steve, not 'the gay guy', if that makes sense to you? Anyway, the day I arrived in Chicago and met several people, a group of a dozen or so of us decided to get some lunch at a local restaurant. Jacob was one of those people. At some point during lunch Jacob announced "hey, you seem like a nice guy. I really expected you to be a complete asshole". Noone really said anything to that. Including myself. How do you answer a statement like that? Especially when it's stated in a public setting? For me that kind of set the tone for our relationship, or lack there of. While I've never put any member on ignore, I pretty much just skipped over his posts. Then came the giant explosion, where Jacob deleted most of the forum, by accident or on purpose. Again, I assumed alcohol related. I had a lot of back content lost forever. Posts and pictures of building things. My turntable, headphone stands etc... pictures that I had no other backup for. And yes, it pissed me off. But we move on. Then when Jacob reappeared I continued to pretty much ignore him. I have no idea of the events in his life. I couldn't tell you anything about him. I've had no contact of any kind in many years. And I've been more than OK with that. I've not encouraged or discouraged other members from interacting with him. In short, I really just haven't thought much about him in any way. Maybe that's the source of his anger? Maybe not? Honestly I don't really care. However, suddenly accusing me of some kind of prejudice against Queer vs. Gay is just silly. It doesn't really deserve a response, but I guess I chose to do so at any rate. Now I'll go back to ignoring Jacob. That's what works best for me.

He's a bear that wears a hat and talks. What's confusing about that? 😋 As far as I'm concerned, movies about talking bears are a dime a dozen.
