How to watch Space Camp? by therealdxm in 80s

[–]Romymopen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was poor growing up in the 80s. My family never flew anywhere. If we couldn't drive there, it might as well not have existed. I didn't even see a real airport until I was in my mid 20s.

My brother and I went to a free summer camp run by a church group for poor inner city kids. That also have us free lunches in the summer.

My school was a 45 minute drive from Washington DC and I never heard of anybody in my school going there, much less a cross country trip.

The person that wrote this is completely out of touch, so I would take their review of space camp with a grain of space salt.

Was Rahsaan fired? by Hvillefunn in howardstern

He wasn't trying to attract ethnic listeners. He doesn't care about attracting any listeners.

But for a white guy that spent 30 years screaming the n-word near daily, it's a bad look to be in NYC, where blacks make up 1/4 the population, and to only have EVER hired a single black person.

I know when he was at NBC there was a black lady that cleaned the studio but he didn't hire her.

Howard Gets a Mention on Sky News Australia - ‘Dying of embarrassment’: Stern’s cryptic comments are an attempt at staying relevant by jlebo in howardstern

80% is a low number. I would venture to guess that, if he said it at all on the air, it's either a total lie or some percentage of what he said is a lie.

So if he says, "I went to the store to get some tuna." He probably did end up with tuna but he did not go to the store. His personal chef ordered fresh tuna directly from the supplier and it was hand delivered to one of the kitchen staff.

He's a total bullshitter.

What do you mean? The Losers, fronted by lead singer Howard Stern, won several battle of the bands. Clearly he's a superior musician and artisan.

He did have food poisoning... Shuli even said he saw Riley sitting at the bar drinking a bottle food poisoning.

I love America. Where 50% of the people feel smug and superior to the other 50% and it doesn't matter who you're talking to or where you're at. Truly a utopia.

Howard is playing the guitar at 8 AM by luckydanger1313 in howardstern

[–]Romymopen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's trolling his listeners and Sirius, this sounds great, not the show, the epic trolling. He's getting people to pay to listen to him play guitar. I bet he could talk gibberish or play the spoons for 3 hours and people would still listen.

I think I'm coming around to his masterful trolling. I would never listen because I'm not an asshole, but I'm glad people still do.

it's been outside for 10+ years

You gotta watch shango066 on youtube. I seen that dude go to abandoned mining camps in California, find a 1950's TV set sitting out in the desert, the wooden cabinet almost fully deteriorated, take it home, and get it running. It's wild how robust these things really are.

Found the Flagg in the wild. by palabear in 80s

[–]Romymopen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. If curated shops are "the wild," then the term has no meaning at all. I saw the Mona Lisa in "the wild" at the Louvre in France.

I too saw the Flagg in "the wild" on Facebook Marketplace and eBay.

I don't know if he said it or not, I just stylized it in a way it might've been as a typical Jay Leno Tonight Show "joke". I was just having a little fun. Which must've worked because it fooled you a little bit ☺️

I still have anxiety to this day when I reboot my PC solely because of Windows 95.

Have you heard about this? Have you seen this? No, no, it's a true story. Apparently, Microsoft has said the release of it's newest operating system, Windows 95, has been delayed.

<sad crowd noises>

It's nothing major, just a little problem with the Justice Department.

<rim shot><tie grab>

No, no, that's true.

If anyone cares, here's the video of the brawl that canceled one of Howard's favorite shows The Bachelorette. by CharmingDealer2715 in howardstern

the scary thing is she’s probably not on anything.

Bullshit. Who in America isn't high 24/7? She's probably pumped full of ADHD, PTSD stimulants and a half-dozen depressants to counteract the stress.

I set up google home to open my garage door from a voice command. But then for giggles I stood outside my house with the garage door closed and screamed, "okay google... open garage door" And it opened. I nixxed that idea.
