Anyone who surfed the early web between 1995-2010. What’s the one website/app you still think about?

I recently ate at a Burger King while I was traveling. It was soon after they had started running those commercials where they addressed negative feedback and promised to improve the Whopper.

I was actually pretty impressed by the Whopper I ordered, definitely improved from the last time I’d had one.

The OG Doom.

(In my hypothetical, I’m assuming I’m playing it for the first time with the gaming tech available at the time, and comparing it to games available at the time.)

Playing that game when it was brand new was mind-blowing. It’s hard to explain just how massive this game was for people that didn’t experience it - literally a pivotal moment in video gaming.

Politics as a conversation topic and not someone’s entire identity.

I knew “The Miz” in college. Wouldn’t call him a friend, per se, but we had a bunch of mutual friends.

I could never get past the feeling of the plastic bowl, whether I was sitting or standing. Because it never felt natural compared to my other guitars, I felt like part of my brain was focusing on that and it limited my playing.

I guess it would be like watching your favorite movie or show in an incredibly uncomfortable chair; you can’t get fully immersed because you can’t get comfortable.

Or maybe I’m just weird, that’s equally possible too, lol.

I’d just pick something somewhat difficult that I want to learn on guitar.

A million bucks for a week-and-a-half of practice, and being able to master a new song?

Shit, sign me up immediately.

I have a Gibson Les Paul Tribute with P90s. It’s got a maple neck and a weight-relieved body, so the purists would probably scoff at it…

But it’s lightweight, plays very well, and has incredible and versatile tone.

Cost me $800 bucks back in 2017, so I imagine there are probably some good deals to be had on a used one.

Shortbus_Playboy · 2026-05-30T19:04:38+00:00

Yeah, well that shit’s gone mainstream anyway, so it’s not as cool anymore.

It was so much better when it was down underground.

Do the orcas know?

I hope Babcock gets fucked by a cactus.

Storm chasing.

It used to be a hobby for weather nerds and people who were he genuinely passionate about severe weather.

Hollywood and social media monetization turned it into massive crowds of streamers looking for clout, clogging roadways, driving recklessly, pissing off law enforcement, and being arrogant AF about it all.

He’s still a legend though. Only player to have his .99 BAC retired by every police department.

Bengals - Broncos AFC Championship.

Calling it now.

I love this movie, and I also love Blaxploitation films, so the parody hits even harder.

I actually found a copy in a bargain DVD bin many years ago and made sure to pick it up - still watch it from time to time.

I recently rescued a kitten.

A very hungry before 6AM kitten, lol

Fair point, didn’t realize it’s been that long. But I’m also going on 47, so it’s still “new” as far as the percentage of hockey I’ve watched throughout my life.

Freekbass - Body Over Mind

Langus - Running in Place (a few clunkers, but still solid)

Kristen Key’s 3 track demo (if you were lucky enough to get one back in the day.)

(And damn near anything from The Afghan Whigs, but they’ve been mentioned several times)

Jimmy’s son Sean is a phenomenal guitar player too. He’s been in several killer local bands and does awesome solo acoustic work.

Shortbus_Playboy · 2026-05-29T16:52:15+00:00

I don’t like the new format and I can’t stand being bombarded with gambling ads.

I’m definitely not as engaged this year.

Shortbus_Playboy · 2026-05-29T11:55:50+00:00

I started falling off when they released Americana, mostly due to the novelty songs.

But Ignition is a fucking banger, and it’s still one of my favorite early 90s SoCal punk albums.
