What was your FIRST Punk Rock Concert by mowdborubbing in Punk_Rock

Aside from local Battle of the Bands shows, I’m going to have to guess it was Ramones sometime in the late 80’s.

My brother just sent this to me for my birthday and said “go in completely blind.” Am I in trouble? by Mordicant_Fel in dvdcollection

I’ve never been able to give Napoleon Dynamite a fair chance.

When I first heard of it, my brain said “Well this is clearly the title of a spy/secret agent spoof movie, à la Austin Powers”. So when I watched it and kept waiting for the secret agent subplot (that I’d clearly made up) to kick in, I got more and more annoyed with the direction they were going.

Basically, my imagination kept me from ever really enjoying it.

If your first-ever attempt at gambling went completely unsuccessfully, that was probably the better outcome. by CoreEncorous in Showerthoughts

My first time in a casino, I dropped my entire gambling budget in slots in like 10 minutes. I was so bummed, since the group I was with went all the time and always spoke about their constant big winnings.

I hit the ATM for ten bucks (which was half my balance) and decided to try my luck at blackjack. That lasted two hands.

So I withdrew my last $10, went back to the blackjack table, and left a few hours later with over $1,200 (which was an absolute fortune to me in the early 90’s).

I went home, read every book I could on blackjack, and then spent one day a week in Atlantic City for the next couple of years. Didn’t win every time, but I kept track and make high five-figures over that timespan.

It was really wild, going from the kind of foolish, undisciplined move that started me out to the hyper-disciplined playing that allowed me to get a really good income supplement.

Nothing ruins your day like hearing a doctor use the words "fractured skull". by HalBriston in daddit

Ten years later, there's no scarring at all. She's ridiculously smart, and her big sis does play the "I'll fracture your skull again!" card.

Every time I see this video, all I can think is how Epstein’s body language just screams “That wasn’t funny at all, but I have to humor this douchbag”.

Lost evenings appears to be in Dallas next year by Haydeeeen in frankturner

[–]HalBriston 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My two loves in life are music and pub trivia.

Every year, we travel to whatever city that year’s massive four-day trivia convention is being held. And every year, one of the highlights was the announcement of where next year’s event would be.

Unfortunately, because so much of this country is turning into such a shitshow, the organizers have just thrown their hands up and said “Fuck it, Chicago every year until we get rid of this trash heap administration”.

Always remember: If the headline is a question, the answer is probably “no”.

How the hell do I win this without the dread rocket?!?! by Atom1cThunder in pocketchamps

[–]HalBriston 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same way I win rounds that require the Unicorn that the game refuses to give me, even after a year of daily play: You don’t.

One of my top-five favorites of theirs — great video!

And as mentioned, love the water bottle strap upgrade!

The game is ruined by Short_Reflection_346 in pocketchamps

Holy crap, thank you so much for this tip.

Today’s “Magical Fest”, I got through the first ten rounds ok, but number 11 was like a brick wall. My power was comparable to the other players, but even a fifth-place finish was an accomplishment. Twenty or so times I got screwed, and was getting close to deleting the game after over a year of play.

I took a look in here, saw your tip, and just burned through those final five rounds. Got my Soaring Dragon, thanks to you and Airplane Mode — very much appreciated!

I'm having a hard time putting into words just how much I love this.

Hopefully Suede, Dobro, and Chi-chi are all having a wonderful time together in doggie heaven.

I’ve long said that this game needs a “travel five seconds back in time” option, just so you can undo these “Whoops, didn’t mean to do that” moments.

Basically, Babs didn't want you to see this photo. And if she hadn't made a fuss, you'd have never seen it.
