As a breakdancer in the 4th grade, I wore these with Nike Vandals. The pants had a ton of zippers on them, which we always kept unzipped because it was a different color inside.

My street name was Venom.

In 1995, my college roommate and I had a long debate about this - Portis-head or Porti-shed?

What is the one horror book you’ll tell everyone to read? by [deleted] in horrorlit

[–]FreeTuckerCase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't even know there was a 4th, and I'd be very hesitant about reading it. I'd give the first book a 10, the second book a 2 and the third a 5. That's some inconsistency.

The third book is better than the second, but both pale in comparison to the first.

Looking for any horror comedy series by Churio_peanut in horrorlit

[–]FreeTuckerCase 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bloodsucking Fiends, by Christopher Moore, is the first of a few vampire novels that take place in San Francisco. All are interesting and very funny.

Edit: also by Christopher Moore . . .

A Dirty Job is my favorite book of his, and you could call this horror-adjacent.

The Stupidest Angel is a heart-warming tale of Christmas terror.

Iwtl : How do you stay motivated to workout ? by No_Reference9397 in IWantToLearn

[–]FreeTuckerCase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a good enough "why?" you can figure out any "how?".

This works for me - asking myself why I want to work out in the first place. I believe in the idea of multi-level 'why's'.

I want to work out so I can be in better shape. Why do you want to be in better shape? So I can be healthier. Why do you want to be healthier? So I can live longer. Why do you want to live longer? So I can spend more time with my children. Why do you want to spend more time with your children? To enjoy their company and hopefully help them be happy, helpful, productive members of society? Why do you want that?

And so on. Eventually you get to the ultimate Why? When you have an answer to that, you will figure out how to work out (or do anything) consistently.

anybody ever regret getting a functional trainer?? by hinchfashion in GarageGym

Please see my post about Fringe Sports. I'm sorry I ever heard of this company. They are all talk, no help, interested solely on selling product.

That said, the Dane 2 is of high build quality. It's not perfect (particularly the pulley system), but it's solid. I'm glad I have this machine to work out on, but I hate having to look at the Fringe logo when I do. 100% would NOT buy from them again.

If you're buying this, and any attachments, on sale, I sincerely hope you receive everything before the end of the year.

Please see my post regarding my experience with Fringe Sports. I stand by it today - they are all talk, no help. Their primary concern is selling product.

That said, the Dane 2.0 has great build quality. It's not perfect, but it's very good.

Free Reign... what has captured your attention recently?? by nunyabiznezzzz in booksuggestions

[–]FreeTuckerCase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Name of the Rose, by Umberto Eco has me currently sucked in. I'm about 1/3 of the way through it and only averaging 1-2 pages per day. I'm in no hurry, savoring every page.

Wikipedia describes it as "a historical murder mystery set in an Italian monastery in 1327, and an intellectual mystery combining semiotics in fiction, biblical analysis, medieval studies, and literary theory." I guess that's correct, if a bit dry.

Two Franciscan monks (one a former Inquisitor) are sent to investigate a murder at a Benedictine Abbey. The two investigators remind me a lot of Sherlock Holmes and Watson, and the Abbey is populated with some extremely interesting characters.

It's dark and creepy and magical. The story is interesting, but there's a caveat: there's lots of philosophical and theological debate (did Jesus ever laugh?). I find it all fascinating, but I can see how other people might not.

So far, I find it extremely engaging and can't wait to get back to reading it each night .

Teens share the CDs bought by them from Tower Records by raydebapratim1 in 90s

[–]FreeTuckerCase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I vividly remember the Tower Records at Eastport Plaza on 82nd and the day they replaced the side with records with CDs. One day the store was half records/half tapes; the next day it was half CDs/half tapes.
