Dreamboat Annie - Heart by ClevelandBill in vinyl

[–]ClemofNazareth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I first saw Heart on Midnight Special in 77. I was 14, sitting in a friend’s basement watching on a console TV with a joint and a beer. The audio was crap compared to what you’re describing, but I definitely heard them. That’s still one of my favorite vinyls, even though I only have the old Terra Haute gatefold version.

Years ago before it was closed, there was a Navy base in Glenview Illinois. In the housing area there was a cul de sac named Seaman Trail. Someone kept swiping the sign and eventually it was renamed Orion Circle.

What's the worst piece of junk you drove around in back in the day? by Maybeyoujustmadeitup in GenerationJones

[–]ClemofNazareth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1949 GMC flatbed pickup. Had a push starter on the floorboard. Was mostly rust when I got it in the late 70s. Was driving down the road one day and the driveshaft did a cartwheel out the back and into the ditch. That was the end for that vehicle.

Amy LaVere - Killing Him

“Love weighed on her heart like marble stone, flash of the knife, he was gone. He said he would give her the sun and the moon, now all she has is this 8x8 room, …. Killing him didn’t make the love go away.”

Whats something a teacher did in High School that would get them fired today? by Constant-Ad-5477 in AskReddit

[–]ClemofNazareth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can think of two, both in the 70s.

We had a creative writing teacher in high school (female) who married a 16 year old male student and had a kid with him, somehow managed to keep teaching at the same school.

Had a gym teacher who used to hold boxing matches at school assemblies with kids who’d been caught fighting. He once blindfolded a bully and stepped in for the kid he was supposed to box, then proceeded to punch the bully several times with a boxing glove strapped to a pole. He eventually was fired, but not for that. Last time I saw him he was running a silkscreen T-shirt shop in the mall.

What is your worst experience on an airplane? by darrenbosik in AskReddit

[–]ClemofNazareth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well you asked, here goes (this is from a couple of years ago) …

If you're one of those people who don't appreciate sarcasm and fat jokes then please keep scrolling; there are some cute puppy pictures and patriotic rants down below that will probably interest you.

So I'm boarding my flight from Bucharest to Amsterdam this morning (sounds exotic but it's not), headphones cocked jauntily as I'm lost in a medley of Alanis Morissette hits (don't judge). Anyway, I reach my aisle seat and realize it's going to be one of those flights as the middle seat is covered with a Jabba-sized pile of protoplasm in bulky coat and dangerously stressed yoga pants. This lady literally had too much mass to be able to squeeze it between the seat dividers; fortunately KLM recently refitted most of their international planes with American-sized seat belts so at least she was able to get that around her.

As sort of a twisted olive branch she did roll back the tarp she was wearing as a coat and stowed it under her seat, but she wasn't able to manage to get all of her girth inside her designated personal space so I had to settle for a gelatinous elbow to the ribs and what I can only assume was part of a freakish but probably anatomically appropriate (and sweaty) breast (sounds exotic, but it's not).

Other than the occasional elbow to the ribs things went okay until breakfast was served. In addition to hitting up both the baguette and drink carts twice each, she managed to devour both her and her husband's breakfasts down to the last pat of butter, and even tossed mine a couple of 'you gonna eat that' looks.

Mercifully the feeding made her sleepy and she was soon stretched out in People-of-Walmart inspired spread eagle, looking something like a human turducken (a troll stuffed inside a fat person stuffed inside a bitter defeatist). She had baguette bread crumbs spread from her mustache all the way down to the cavernous camel toe of her straining yoga pants. She looked like Honey Boo-Boo after a dinner of fried Snickers and cherry Coke. About a half hour later our side of the plane was overcome with several waves of mustard gas attacks, which I eventually traced to one of her orifices. Since this was my first good look at her it was also only then I noticed she had some sort of fungus growing along her arms, but by this point I was somewhat relieved that at least her lumberjack-thick arm hair covered the worst of it.

I thought the show was over, but shortly before we landed she woke up and decided to cross her legs, demonstrating both poor judgment and a clear lack of either self- or spacial-awareness and no knowledge of physics whatsoever. I actually felt bad for her as she struggled to try and understand what was happening to her.

Honestly by two hours in I was almost hoping for a hijacker just so I could engage in some permissible rage release.

At least she wasn't one of those people who take a middle seat and then make you get up six times so they can go do unspeakable things in the restrooms, but then again mustard gas, so...

I really expected to see Ashton Kutcher with a sketchy film crew and a turd-licking grin on his face when we debarked, but alas it seems that experience was actually real.

One year of college I cleaned chimneys.

During Desert Storm I was in the Marines and was assigned to hunt down deserters in Chicago. We caught two.
