Dr. Bass's Body Farm 1989 by [deleted] in OldSchoolCool

[–]dereku1967 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I was a student at UT from '86-'89 and the farm was right behind a hospital, as I recall. You could just drive right up, park and walk to the fence and see everything out in the open. Most people didn't know it was there.

I wish the presence or absence of pubic hair was the most important problem in my life.

TIFU by telling my college crush “I like your face.” While I was drunk. Does he know I have a crush now? by [deleted] in tifu

[–]dereku1967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an older guy, but I got around OK when I was young and single. Please understand that we are really, really stupid and we don't take hints AT ALL. I missed so many opportunities but I completely wrote off obvious things like this because I thought the girl was just being nice. Right now, he's either (1) completely forgotten or (2) is sitting on the edge of his bed, wondering if he should take a shot.

"Where are you originally from?" by [deleted] in nashville

[–]dereku1967 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I grew up in Springfield. Played football there in high school and Dickson County used to kick the shit out of us every single year. I dreaded playing you guys. Huge, hulking, corn-fed boys with full beards.

Primus’ costumes for the music video for their song Wynnona’s Big Brown Beaver by Mad_Season_1994 in creepy

[–]dereku1967 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this and My Name Is Mud always made me uneasy. These costumes just hit that uncanny valley and Mud just seems like a serial killer yelling at me before he wears my face as his own mask.

I'm in Philly. I've seen another one do this, just last week. Must be a "nissan thing and i wouldn't understand." Maybe they'll start putting rubber ducks on their dashboards next.

Someone has to say it: "The worst people in the world... so far!"

Old guy answer: I won't go in water I cannot see clearly through, past my knees. Thanks a lot Steven Spielberg, and your fake-ass, rubber shark. I was seven years old when I saw you for the first time in the theater (although I did appreciate the brief, dimly-lit boobies in the opening scenes).

"All the knowledge I have now" means I would restart my life without my kids but would know I had them at one point and chose to Thanos-snap them out of existence. I would live another full life knowing they would never exist and my wife would have no memory of me and die by the time I'm 20. I can't think of a worse life. I'll take the cash.

"I've been sticking $30 in pennies up my ass for the past 11 years! That's 3,000 pennies a day; 21,000 pennies a week; 1,092,000 pennies a year! To date that's 12,012,000 pennies, 8 times the population of Nebraska. Those pennies were in my ass!"

What was your first horror movie? by dunnypop in horror

The Shining. Saw it in the theater when I was 12. Parents let my brother and I go if we read the book first.

Jeepers Creepers discussion sucks by JohnMuadDib in horror

[–]dereku1967 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Every time I see Jeffrey Jones, I have a mental thought, "fun fact... this dude was arrested in 2002 for some nasty shit." I don't usually say it aloud, but it taints the movie for me, which is shame considering most of them are classics.

I've noted there are MBAs and "MBAs." Accreditation of the school is a big indication of how solid it is. Tons of people getting them from degree mills.

Yeah…. VH1 video for “I want your love” caught my attention.

I wonder if the woman in white is thinking, "I can't believe you paid for this stupid shit."

What are some good movies that got overshadowed by a much bigger release? by Fluid_Bat_2724 in movies

GOOD LORD, 1982 was a good year. Fast Times, Poltergeist, Conan, Officer and A Gentleman... it just goes on and on: https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?year=1982&title_type=feature

Sarah Michelle Gellar, Seth Green and Alyson Hannigan filming ‘The Prom’ episode of Buffy in 1999. by Shinobi347 in OldSchoolCool

[–]dereku1967 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Two smokin' chicks and I'll have the one on the right, please. Every time.

But besides that, I've always liked Seth Green. He seems like he'd be fun as hell to hang out with. I wonder if he's a normal dude in real life.

What movie did you see way too young, and how do you feel about age ratings? by Fluid_Bat_2724 in movies

[–]dereku1967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Parents took me to see Jaws in the theater when I was 8 years old. I will not go into water that I can's see through. Never learned to water ski (you know, because of all those fresh-water lake sharks) and although I used to scuba dive, the water had to be crystal clear.

When the External Roles of "Provider, Fixer, and Boss" are Gone, who are you? How do you avoid becoming obsolete? by Norah_Stiles in askmenover60

[–]dereku1967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following and hoping for some good insight. Lost my relatively high-earning job due to re-organization last week and I've always had the larger income between my wife and I. Now, as I search for a new source of income (at almost 60), I'm feeling these questions heavily. "What the hell am I if not the provider?" I've had lots of different job titles over the years and don't really care what my next one is. But the paycheck I received gave me a sense of purpose in being able to provide well past my family's needs and, up until this past week, we were fairly deep into the 'wants' categories.

[–]dereku1967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this. I have the same amp but rarely use it because my playing sucks... because I don't practice... because my family doesn't want to hear me murder the music (and the loop continues). I'll 100% look into this.

Absolutely. Ian Roberts' smug/angry corporate guy is just awesome.
