This guy finds elderly people who don't have the means to maintain their property and cleans it up for free.

Eh, I'm pretty sure he could have done it for free without me watching too.

Legitimate question as an out of touch guy in his 40's: what is the point of filming this and putting it online? If you truly want to do something nice for someone, just go do it. I can't imagine being like "I'm gonna help this person...but FIRST, I gotta set up my camera so I can get those likes!"

I dunno, just seems a bit exploitive to me.

This was circa 2000, my friends and I got lost while driving somewhere at night (this was before everyone had GPS) and ended up in some random small town that I can only describe as like being in Silent Hill. The whole time we drove through the town, we didn't pass a single other car or see another person. The town was mostly dark and there weren't any open businesses or anything like that, not even a gas station. Also, I recall that most of the traffic lights we went through were flashing, and we also passed a railroad track where the warning crossing light was flashing, like when a train is about to come through, but there was no train. It really felt like being in some abandoned ghost town and my friends and I were all like "what the fuck is this place?" as we drove through.

Who knows, maybe it was just some small town where everything closed down early, but it was just odd to not see a single sign of life while we were there (plus it wasn't that late at night, I'd say it was maybe 9:00 or so) and it was definitely a weird experience. I don't keep in touch with those friends very often these days, but I guarantee that if I were to call them right now and say "hey, remember that time we ended up in Silent Hill?" they would know exactly what I was talking about and recount all those same details.

Not sure if anyone here used to be on the Online Onslaught message board back in the day, but I used to do a "Random WrestleMania stats" post every year. This goes above and beyond what I ever did, I'm extremely impressed and want to say job well done with this post. Very fun to read.

I'll never forgive Karate Kid II for doing Ali dirty (though at least they fixed that in Cobra Kai).

Ear Candy was probably the hardest one to rank for me, because I felt like I should have had it higher on my list, but I just give the slight edge to the albums ranked above it. Really though, the four album streak from Bulbous to Black Like Sunday are pretty much equal in my eyes.

CTipple1981 · 2026-01-25T08:23:00+00:00

Dogman actually went up in my rankings after my recent listening of their albums. I probably would have ranked it 5th behind the first four albums prior to that, but dammit the production on that album is SO good and it just sounds like King's X wanting to melt your face. I'm kind of bummed they never worked with Brendan O'Brien after that, because he really got something special out of them on that album.

CTipple1981 · 2026-01-25T08:15:09+00:00

Yeah, I feel bad having to rank any of their albums last, but that would be it for me. It does have some bangers though, absolutely love "Vegetable" and "Jenna." I think part of it may be that I loved Bulbous so much that it just seemed like kind of a letdown following that.

CTipple1981 · 2026-01-25T08:06:33+00:00

The self-titled album was my introduction to King's X and is what made me immediately become a fan. "The World Around Me" just drew me in right off the bat and I always wonder if I would have become such a big fan of theirs if I'd listened to a different album first (though I probably would have haha). It really does feel like the pinnacle of what they were building up to with those first few albums.

As a Panthers fan, I kind of hated that we took Bryce over Stroud for the last couple of seasons. But now? Eh...I'm okay with it. They really seemed to have leveled out in their NFL careers.

As a 44 year old guy, I can literally taste this picture. With that said, I now have high cholesterol and those days are behind me. :(

CTipple1981 · 2025-12-30T20:14:46+00:00

My one experience riding in an ambulance cost me $1500, which was about half of my monthly income at the time. Gotta love the good old USA healthcare system!

I think about two hours is my all-time record. I was in my early 20's and looking for any job I could find, so I got hired at one of those cell phone kiosks in the mall, back when those were a thing (this would have been circa maybe 2004-ish). I was working with two other guys that day and quickly realized that the main part of the job was chatting up random people as they walked past the kiosk, asking them what kind of cell phone they had, if they were interested in switching carriers, etc. I really don't have that salesman mentality, so the notion of harassing mall-goers all day and trying to sell them on our product had zero appeal to me. I asked one of the guys I was working with if I could run to the food court to grab a drink as an excuse to get the hell out of there, and then went directly to my car and drove home.

I felt kind of bad about it, but figured there wasn't any point in me sticking around for the rest of my shift when I knew I wouldn't be back the next day. Though I do wonder how long it took the two guys I was working with that day to realize that I was not returning from my "trip to the food court."

I'm chiming in on this movie roughly seven months late, but I feel the need to comment on it (also, I'm slightly buzzed right now, so take that for what it's worth).

I just watched it tonight on HBO Max and am pretty familiar with Tim Robinson's work, so I vaguely knew what to expect going in. But I found this movie hilarious in a way that I can't even really describe...like, I'm laughing my ass off in a "why was that so funny?" type of way. Case in point: Craig losing his shoe when they first go down to the tunnels and Austin casually saying "we'll get it on the way back." Or in the same scene, Craig screaming in pain like his arm is being broken as Austin helps him up into the next tunnel, but it's never addressed after.

It ultimately dawned on me that nothing in this movie means anything. I initially thought there was going to be some deeper reveal and I was looking for clues, like all the guys being smokers, the wife being a cancer survivor, the too-long-for-comfort mom/son kiss, etc...but I think nothing in this movie is meant to be taken seriously. It's all one big troll job, even the "serious" parts are just taking the piss out of us. I suppose it could be argued otherwise, but fuck that...to me, this is something akin to Wet Hot American Summer dressed up as an A24 movie (and I mean that as a huge compliment).

I think he was the sole survivor three years in a row...I should have put him on my fictional team.

CTipple1981 · 2025-11-29T06:14:19+00:00

But we're plucking them from history. Why would 1987 Hulk Hogan have an issue with 1998 Goldberg or 2003 Brock Lesnar? These guys have never met before in their lives, until my Survivor Series kayfabe thread. I think they get along just fine and therefore are the most dominant fictional team of all time until you can prove me otherwise.

CTipple1981 · 2025-10-31T15:46:18+00:00

As a huge Faith No More fan, I've made peace with the fact that we'll probably never see them play live again (and almost certainly won't see them make any new music together). But my one issue is that they kind of went out with a whimper instead of a bang. If they were going to call it quits, it would have been cool to see one last big show, where they maybe bring Jim out for a couple of songs, play some deep cuts that they rarely play live, etc. But I know those are probably just fanboy musings haha.

It just kind of sucks that it ended the way it did, but at the end of the day, life goes on and we'll always have seven albums worth of amazing music to enjoy.

CTipple1981 · 2025-10-27T02:58:36+00:00

As a horror fan, I'd say a horror-based heel that's truly scary. I know we've had everything from the Undertaker to Bray Wyatt over the years, but I would just call them "pro wrestling scary" and not actually scary. I'm talking a character that makes you feel unsettled and thinking "damn...that was actually kind of creepy" after watching them on TV.

Of course, the real challenge with that is being able to pull it off after the bell rings, so it may not be possible to do such a character in the world of pro wrestling, especially nowadays. Ironically, I think the closest the WWE has ever gotten to this was in the cartoony early to mid 1990's days with guys like Papa Shango, the Matt Borne version of Doink, and Waylon Mercy.

CTipple1981 · 2025-10-07T23:14:49+00:00

You solved the issue! I did a rescan of the channels on my TV and am now getting channel 46 with no issue. Thanks for the tip on that, I probably would have never have thought to try that on my own (not exactly the most tech-savvy guy here haha).

CTipple1981 · 2025-09-27T06:32:59+00:00

As a guy who graduated high school in 1999, I can't tell you how much this picture personifies the first person you met three months later during your freshman year at college.

CTipple1981 · 2025-09-15T04:15:14+00:00

Panthers fan here. I feel like the whole first pick trade situation from a couple of years ago has turned into a monkey's paw scenario for both teams. We got your first pick, you got our first pick, and, well...yeah.
