  1. I heard somewhere that VHS became the standard because it was the platform that the porn industry chose. I have no idea if that is true.
  2. You might find some ideas here. https://www.thisiswhyimbroke.com/new/
  3. Soon, Surly may well be a vital natural resource. Chinese scientists make eco-friendly plastic from salmon sperm

    It's Piss.

  5. Out of sheer morbid curiosity after seeing this, I googled "Jeff Goldblum shower curtain". I feel like I have seen a portal into another dimension. Also, would this be out of place or right at home in the domicile of one Mitch Cumsteen?
  6. Red Line Burgers still exists. They have a location in Portland on Wildcat out near the Gregory city line. Near one of the entrances to the GCCV facility. They claim no affiliation with the food truck in Corpus that uses the name. https://redlineburgers.com/faq/

  8. Can't believe no one has yet to post the first video shown on MTV.
  9. Obvious point is obvious, but the ONEderland channel on Sirius plays a lot of the songs posted in this thread.
  10. Giuffria - "Call To The Heart". Very 80s hair band video. Apparently the lead singer later achieved some notoriety by doing a SpongeBob SquarePants song. "How Do You Talk To An Angel" by The Heights. Band and song done for a television show in the early 90s. Song reached number one, then fell down the charts and the show was cancelled.
  11. Have we not been saying the same thing about aggy for about 150 years now?

  13. Man Photographed As A Baby On 'Nevermind' Cover Sues Nirvana For Sexual Exploitation The cover for Nevermind, a 1991 Nirvana album that is said to have helped redefine rock music, features a naked 4-month-old baby in a pool, appearing to swim after a dollar bill that's pierced with a fish hook. That baby — the now 30-year-old Spencer Elden — is suing Nirvana for child exploitation and pornography, saying the band knowingly distributed the naked photo of Elden as a baby and profited from it. He's asking for $150,000 in damages from each of the defendants, which include members of the band, Kurt Cobain's estate, photographer Kirk Weddle, Universal Music, Geffen Records, Warner Records and MCA Music. The cover photo was shot by Weddle, who was a friend of Elden's father. The lawsuit accuses Weddle of producing a "sexually graphic" photo of Elden. It adds that there was initially pushback against featuring Elden's genitals on the album cover and the plan was to place a sticker over it. "The sticker, however, was never incorporated into the album cover," the lawsuit states. Elden's parents also never signed a release authorizing the use of the image, and Elden himself never received any compensation, the lawsuit says. "Spencer's true identity and legal name are forever tied to the commercial sexual exploitation he experienced as a minor," Robert Lewis, Elden's attorney, writes in the lawsuit. Lewis writes that Elden has experienced emotional distress and interference with emotional and educational development. In a 2008 interview with NPR, Elden, then in high school, was still struggling to make sense of his public image. "Quite a few people in the world have seen my penis," he said, "So that's kinda cool. I'm just a normal kid living it up and doing the best I can while I'm here."
  14. Sorry to disappoint you.
  15. The Post does not open until noon on Saturday. Food there is good.
  16. Downtown Corpus is not exactly overrun with sports bars. I know Railroad has several televisions around the place and Brewster Street Icehouse near Whataburger Field is probably not short televisions. Food and drinks at both locations. They open at 11 am on Saturdays so assuming kickoff is sometime shortly after that you can get to either place when they open and not miss anything. Cassidy's Irish Pub or Flanagan's might be an option. I don't think I've ever been in either establishment so I cannot say for sure. I do not recall any televisions at Mesquite Street Pizza but the last time I was there it was late at night and I was drinking so who knows. You might also look at Crawdaddy's and the places on Water Street.

    Say what again!

    I think this was the original title of a Beatles song, then the LSD wore off and they read their notes as "Strawberry Fields Forever".

    SEC BASEBALL

    You forgot to mention that one of those wins over Alabama was a win in the CWS title game. Forgive me for asking what is most likely a dumb question, but where did you find the W-L records for Texas against the current and soon-to-be SEC member teams? Is there a Winsipedia-type of website out there for baseball (and basketball for that matter) like for football?

  21. It is probably open again by now, but The Exchange was closed when I was downtown a few weeks ago. Think there was a positive COVID test among the staff. Might want to call ahead and be sure. I like stopping in at Rebel Toad next door to The Exchange if I am in that part of town and just want a beer or two. Mesquite Street Pizza serves food late into the evening if I am not mistaken. As far as brunch, I cannot help you much there. Maybe Bella Luna does brunch? I don't know. But, as was mentioned earlier in this thread, Nueces Brewing has some pretty good bbq. Brisket for brunch seems like a good idea to me.
