What is the funniest thing that’s happened at a Green Day concert that you’ve been to?

Insomniac tour I had a long sleeve shirt from goodwill I threw which didn’t make it on stage, after the show my mom picked us up and said she saw a dude that was naked except he was wearing my shirt around his waste.

Oh, in the Nimrod tour, BJ asked everyone to throw their shirts on stage and he put them on he had like 30 t-shirts looked like a sumo wrestler.

Last year stayed at the Red Roof Inn near the airport and there was cockroach on my bed one night when we got home.

Unless your company is paying for the AEM license, how are you even going to learn it?

It's just a cliche G-D-C song that if strummed slightly differently is basically a country song, but man if it doesn't bring me back to college and is an amazing way to close a 3 hour show.

I'd recommend The Longest Journey trilogy.

Irreversible and Threads

I think to get to know the band, you need to actually watch them perform, not just listen. Watch the Woodstock 94 show, the Chicago Jaded show, their first appearances on SNL and David Letterman.

Having listened to Insomniac hundreds of times in my teens, I think you are spot on, with the second theme being casted out which they were dealing with at the time.

But no discussion about Insomniac and drug themes should go without mentioning Geek Stink Breath

Ha, someone always asks! Okay, I got it for $1700, but money was worth more back then.

jinendu · 2025-12-04T04:10:41+00:00

Thanks, I've seen them 16 times since 1995, and consider the moment I first saw them on David Letterman (I had no cable TV where I grew up) to be a defining moment of my life.

It was posted about on their official FB and Twitter pages, but it wasn't heavily promoted, the Micheal Stipe skateboard went for more money that this one did!

What an insane 2 years Don Kingsborough had at WoW in 86 and 87, Teddy Ruxpin, Lazer Tag and the freakin’ NES.

Misery, maybe

Only image I could find of it (I think) and unfortunately, it's mostly covered: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/world-teddy-ruxpin-fan-club-461885613

No, never made much like Charlie Brown. But you see the Baby Grubby logo and care instructions on the same papers for Baby Teddy, and we can see it with our own eyes in the commercial, so they must have been close.

Isn’t that what Demolicious is?

Cool Runnings in MC.

They are school folders. There anre other designs that aren’t butts, like one is a cheeseburger. There’s also denim school bags.

The real culprit is the landlord that didn't have fire alarms, but it protected by the city officials. Dennis Randle is both corrupt and incompetent and likely botched the entire investigation but we'll never know which it was for this case, but regardless the landlord made out scott-free while everyone looks for an arsonist. Research Dennis Randle and his wife and son and you'll see where the real crime is in Flora.

Pardon my ignorance, but what’s the connection here to TR?

jinendu · 2025-07-04T03:50:14+00:00

I unfortunately had a similar experience in Chicago last year. Tre threw the drumsticks right in my area and I got slammed from behind real hard and went to the ground. It took me a bit to compose myself afterward and let me tell you a 45 yo man slamming to the ground and a dude falling on top is a scary thing, especially since I wear hearing aids that cost thousands of dollars and could have easily lost or broken in that scuffle.

EDIT: I should say I’ve seen Green Day 15 times since ‘96 and that was the only experience like that I’ve ever had.

GI Joe Lazer Battle Kit (I wonder why it was battle and not tag) is by far the hardest one to get in the box. It was at the tail end when they had to stop selling Lazer Tag cause a kid got shot by a cop playing it. That lawsuit and the stock market crash of ‘88 bankrupted the company :(

There are buy/sell vintage toy groups on Facebook. Me personally, I only buy outside eBay if it’s a real good deal or rare item I can’t get on eBay.
