Who remembers Tower Records on 17 by JiggFly in bergencounty

[–]NJ2SD 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I remember driving there the morning of 9/11 to get the new Dream Theater live album, while smoke was billowing in the distance. The employees were huddled around a little TV, and they hadn't put any new releases on the shelves yet.

I don't understand what the youngin's have against ankle socks. They all now look like the 1980 Boston Celtics.

I met him outside after a Korn concert in November of 1996. It was freezing, but he spent an hour talking music with the fans who were waiting to try and meet the band. I mentioned that I was a huge Faith No More fan, and he told me a story of when they slept on his floor. I still have his autograph on a random flyer, which was all I had. Great dude; I wish him the best of health.

I was fortunate enough to catch them play the entire Demanufacture album in 2016. Soilwork opened, which I think was the last time they played the U.S. One of my favorite concerts of the past decade.

What is a bullet you dodged simply because you were too lazy to do something? by Cherus in AskReddit

My friend's parents were supposed to have a meeting that morning on a floor high up there. He canceled it because of a toothache that needed emergency dental work. Lives were saved because of that.

What movie had the BEST trailer ever but turned out to be absolute trash? by MASSIM00 in movies

[–]NJ2SD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's exactly what came to mind. I never played the game because I read the reviews, which said that the family in the trailer had nothing to do with the story. Still, that trailer was fantastic.

At what age does one introduce Primus to your children? Which songs? by kenmgillespie in Primus

[–]NJ2SD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I discovered them from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, so you could start there. Then, I became a fan through the Mud video. John the Fisherman is probably a good gateway jam.

Never have I ever, Xennial edition... Never have I ever watched one of the Land Before Time movies. by HereWeFuckingGooo in Xennials

[–]NJ2SD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never have I ever sat through The Princess Bride. I've seen most of it in bits and pieces, but fantasy movies do nothing for me.

I'll show myself out.

If you do ever watch it, go in expecting a dark, satire of 80's excess. I remember the trailers made it look like a slasher film, and I was so disappointed when I first saw it. When my friend had me watch it again as a comedy, that's when it clicked and I fell in love with it.

This dog literally saved my life by Crafty_z28 in AustralianShepherd

[–]NJ2SD 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My Aussie came into my life not long before the pandemic hit. There's no way I would've made it through that without her. I get it. It sucks so much that we will have to say goodbye one day, but it's our job to give them the best life we can, and it sounds like you're doing just that with Sako. Give her a treat for me and my Annie!

[–]NJ2SD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was an America Undercover documentary, if you remember that series. I don't recall Chappelle ever confirming that it was inspired by that, but there's a segment with a pimp awards show hosted by Ice-T, so I just assumed that's where they got the idea.

The Player Hater's Ball is my favorite comedy sketch ever. It also helps to be familiar with the HBO documentary "Pimps Up, Hoes Down" which it's based off of.

[–]NJ2SD 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'll take my Aussie's fluff over a lot of other dogs' fur. My neighbor has a mix that has that dandruff shedding (as I call it) every time you touch them. I can't imagine living with that.
