During COVID my buddies and I started getting together remotely to watch movies and talk about whatever. We had a zoom room open and would all rent a movie individually on Prime and watch it simultaneously. First movie, Heavy Metal. What a great fucking movie. And soundtrack.
“you must be dreaming, to think I love you!!!”
No way my parents knew I was watching that back when it came out, but thankfully my friend in Lakeway had cable w HBO so it was definitely on the menu. Shit, we rearranged entire weekends to accommodate viewings of HM.
This is accurate. I maybe should've mentioned that I'm a tenured professor, and I'm telling my kids to do some community college before they hit the 4-year school. And I really don't care if they get a 4-year degree or not. Just find something you like, work hard at it, and make yourself indispensable. I still think a 4-year degree is generally the safest bet to higher income, but it's definitely not the only way.
All I know is that I had heard for years about the evils of Ozzy Osbourne from parents, teachers, churches, media...I went to a friend's house in 8th grade and he put on the Bark at the Moon album. I thought to myself "I don't know if I'm going to hell or not, but I know I'm going to keep listening to this guy."
Since we're on the topic of recruiting, I'm advocating for my kids to do as much concurrent enrollment and AP in high school, and then do a year at community college to knock out transferable credits. It's a hell of a lot cheaper, a lot less stressful, and it gives them time to figure out more about what they want to study in a 4-year college.
Ozzy was asked to summarize his bio several years ago. He said "Ozzy Osbourne, born 1948. Died whenever. Bit the head off a bat."
I mean he left out some key achievements -- petty ones like creating the entire genre of heavy metal -- but it's still pretty great.
Preach, brother. Speeding is never an issue in my '71 Super Beetle. And if the Beetle was good enough for Ted Bundy to pick up chicks, it's good enough for me.
Disagree. I mean, I am really looking forward to kicking the shit out of them this fall as well. But I have enjoyed reading their whining and crying over the past few weeks, and I look forward to even more of it this fall...when we kick the shit out of them.
That is just the dumbest question ever, even for an aggy.
"I owe my cousin $500, but he just made a couple hundred at the tables last weekend, so I really shouldn't have to pay back the whole amount"
Might as well have been "Guys, I'm grasping at straws to figure out how we will possibly stay relevant. Therefore, we don't need to pay attention at all to player rankings."
I got my tickets to that Coors Field show. 4 for the family in row 21, and one 6th row extra for me for the soundcheck pre-show. Seen him several times but this is likely to be the last, so I went for it. Gonna be great!!
