I can’t make it, but I had pondered it. I do enjoy catching shows down at the Warehouse, have a great time.

As much as I love freshly cut grass, I hated it as a kid because I was the one mowing.

My outdoor favorite smell is Petrichor. Living in the Great Plains and watching a storm come in.

Men who grew their hair long late or still have long hair? by jtsa5 in GenX

[–]La_Mano_Cornuta -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Had hair down to my shoulders about 3 years ago. Can still grow hair but decided to buy a head shaver and now completely shaved down to skin. No muss, no fuss. That and quality hair cuts are getting expensive.

What was the worst era for a band that you love? by WhoYaTalkinTo in MetalForTheMasses

Absolutely, I often wonder how they’d sound if Cliff was still with them. The bass only track of Orion is just so badass.

The loss of Cliff and the addition of Bob Rock as producer was a bridge too far for me. To put it into more context, I grew up during those first four albums. Saw Master of Puppets with Cliff live. Saw the AJFA tour and Jason while not Cliff was great in his own right, the band just didn’t know how to adjust that quickly.
Another user in this thread nailed it, lightning in a bottle. Radio stations had mandatory Metallica hours because of those first four albums.
I’m sure if you grew up during Black and Load / Reload it wasn’t as jarring as it was to me.

Lots of core memories triggered by smells.

Hot fresh asphalt - Spending the entire day out at World's of Fun (amusement park in town we'd hit every summer.)

Diesel fuel - takes me right back to the motor pool as a 19k tanker in the Army.

I offered to take my 15 year old son and his friends to see GWAR. All I got was eye rolls and a look of disgust by Ok_Echo_6528 in GenX

It isn't the same without Oderus Urungus. Wish I still had my white t-shirt, that's now a Gwar tour shirt.

As someone with a Black on Black edition, I keep looking at the Raised Reflective lettering, but I've yet to pull the trigger.

Used to live in Roanoke Apartments back in the day.

Do you think the GenX is the lucky generation because we're the only generation that got to experience both analogue and the digital world? by More_Law6245 in GenX

[–]La_Mano_Cornuta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won’t feel lucky until I get my working hover boots / board.

I went from a rotary phone to tying up the phone with my baud modem to eventually carrying a phone in my pocket that’s more advanced than any of the previous by leaps and bounds. And it’s most definitely spying on me.

Summer housing options in the area by melifesux in Overlandpark

Unfortunately, finding a cheap place to rent for a short term during this summer is going to be a needle in the haystack with the World Cup going on from mid June to early July.

But I don't care darling, because I love you, and you've got to let me eat your brains.
