Post Race!

[homer13j]

Or at least it teaches you that you can pickup chicks if you play an instrument

Are there any other reasons to do it? LOL

What's the difference between an onion and an accordion? Nobody cries when you cut up an accordion!

How is an accordion like an Uzi? Both can clear a room in seconds...

Thanks, folks. I'll be here all week...

I don't know if you saw or not, but my first concert was B.B. King.

I was young, probably about 9 or 10 years old, but I remember it like it was yesterday. My first guitar I ever heard live was Lucille and she sang wonderfully.

[homer13j]

My first concert was the final "World Series of Rock" at old Municipal Stadium in 1980: J. Giels, Bob Seger, Eddie Money and a band nobody heard of called Def Leppard.

[dday9]

My wife laughs every time Def Leppard comes one because I start playing the air drums with 1 arm.

[homer13j]

LOL he still had both arms the two times I saw them ('80 & '83).

[Shaggy Hiker]

Oh I forgot that I played the accordion too,

Let us not allow this comment to slide by without the appropriate ridicule. I can't think of anything original, at the moment, but perhaps I could squeeze something out, accordian to my nature.

[szlamany]

Now we can see your choice of the squeeze box!

[dday9]

Momma's got a squeeze box and daddy doesn't sleep at night.

I'm pretty much a blues man... Most of the stuff I listen to is Muddy Waters, Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson (I & II), Howlin' Wolf, Jimmy Reed, Elmore James, etc...

Soul and Blues were pretty much the soundtrack to my Childhood.

My Dad was a Soul & Blues man, Muddy Waters, Bobby Bland, Curtis Mayfield and also cajun and country blues stuff like Dr John and Delbert McClinton.

It saddens me that pretty much all the great blues players are no longer with us.

[FunkyDexter]

Metal, metal and more metal. There's nothing like a face melting solo to brighten the day. In fact, I've even been known to adopt the attack pose before tackling a particularly nasty bit of SQL.

[NeedSomeAnswers]

Metal, metal and more metal.

Yeah but which types your favourite, Aluminium, Copper, Iron or maybe Zinc ?

[FunkyDexter]

Osmium. 'Cause it's the heaviest.

[dday9]

I listen to a lot of metal too, name some bands that you like!

If I'm in the mood for really technical screamo then I'll listen to some Fall of Troy. If I want something old school then I'll listen to Acid Bath(believe it or not my wife's parrain was in a band with Dax Riggs and Audie Pitre prior to Acid Bath, before practice they'd play what would be Acid Bath songs and her parrain hated it! It finally came down to "are you going to play that crap or play some real rock?" and so Dax and Audie quit). If I want something really hardcore I'll listen to Cannibal Corpse.

[dday9]

iwrestledwithabearonce is another one that I love!

[Shaggy Hiker]

I have no idea what you are talking about, except that a clock face melting solo has caused me to dali.

Hey, I'm still around.

Hey, I'm still around.

Responses like this make me wish that we can rep in chit-chat.

I think I did get rep once in CC... I believe it was a meme involving porn star Sasha Grey and a golden retriever that has since been deleted by some unknown moderator.

[NeedSomeAnswers]

Hey, I'm still around.

when are you touring Europe?

[Shaggy Hiker]

I think there was a brief window of time when reps were turned on in CC. I don't recall whether it started out that way, then was switched off, or if it waffled back and forth.

[homer13j]

when are you touring Europe?

Still working on the details... I'll let you know.

[dday9]

Homer and the Cleveland D'Oh!'s are staring in London this coming someday. Buy your tickets now!

Never heard of them but love the name

Hey, I'm still around

You, sir, just won the internet

name some bands that you like!

Despite my earlier statement I like all sorts of stuff. Big blues fan. Like American folk (not sure if that's the proper name for it - think Bob Segar, Neil Young, Dylan... that sort of thing). Was a major industrial head for a while (got to see Ministry a month ago and Al's still got it). A lot of the UK Garage scene was good although, annoyingly, you yanks did it better (I very nearly invested in Craig David before he was famous but thought he probably wouldn't amount to much without Artful Dodger backing him up) and I like the harder end of house.

Where Metal's concerned I prefer the older stuff, eg AC DC, Motorhead etc, and I've still got a huge soft spot for the mid eighties sleaze rock that was big when I was a teen. Sadly, most of the stuff from then was hair metal rubbish but some of the sleazier stuff was cool. GnR being the obvious example but Roxx Gang, Dogs D'Amour, Love/Hate, Vain... loved loads of them. When I listen to any metal from the 90s onwards it's basically heavy because... well, everything else disappeared and got boring. Unless you include Grunge (which had some great stuff) but I don't really call that metal.

I used to play the guitar but can't really do it anymore. I got early onset arthritis in my fingers which doesn't stop me but slows me down just enough so that I get frustrated. I can still play a pretty dirty slide though.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Big blues fan.

Must have killed you when IBM sold their hardware division to Lenovo.

I see little motivation to make any serious comment in the Post Race.

[szlamany]

It is more of a problem when you start having motivation to comment in Post Race...

[homer13j]

Big blues fan.

I've always followed the Red Wings myself.

[Shaggy Hiker]

The (post) race goes not to the swift, but to the none-too-swift....or even marginally insane.

[dday9]

I started smoking cigars again.

[dday9]

I quit for lent this year, but these past few months have been difficult.

[dday9]

I just wanted a quick escape mentally.

[dday9]

Unfortunately I feel terrible about it.

[homer13j]

Quitting cigarettes is quite a bit harder to do.

[Shaggy Hiker]

You should start carrying a hookah around with you and whip that out whenever you feel like a puff.

[dday9]

Quitting cigarettes is quite a bit harder to do.

Actually I had an easier job quitting cigarettes than I did cigars.

With cigarettes I smoke from the time I was 12 until I was 20, but I was able to quit and never go back over the period of a week. I used the patch for one week slowly dwindling down my cigarette intake until I went 1 full day of not smoking. After that I just quit with the patch and cigarettes.

[homer13j]

Why does my left shoe always wear out way before the right one does?

Does anyone else have this problem? Or is it just me?

[szlamany]

You need an orthotic.

[homer13j]

I need a drink.
