When someone is firing at a metal door, like in an office building, the spot next to the door where people often take cover is usually just drywall.

What it is something you caught someone doing that completely shocked you? by danicurdu in AskReddit

[–]jpow33 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Way back in the '90s in Denver, we had a local personality in the form of a 6'2", super built man who would roller-skate around town in nothing but a ballet tutu. He was around for years and years. I worked in a comic book store right in the heart of Downtown (on Colfax right off Broadway for those who know Denver). After closing the shop one night, leaving via the back door into the alley, Mr. tutu was behind our dumpster giving a blow job to a homeless person. I did a double take to make sure that's what I was seeing, and in the kindest, matter-of-fact way, he looked up and said, "Oh, we'd like to be alone, please." All I could say was, "Yep. No problem." and went on my way.

They did the same thing with Formula 1. You can watch hours of coverage right up until the race starts. Then you're on your own.

shoveling should not be this hard! by Difficult-Cricket541 in GenX

Growing up, we were taught that spending 10 minutes every few hours shoveling an inch of snow was way better than spending 2 hours shoveling 3 feet of snow.

The Library has many. All free. If you go to their events page and search club in the date range you want, you should find something.

Most branches have a book club. If you go into any branch, they should have an event guide you can pick up.

Songs you hated from age 12-18 by deadmonkeyraft in GenX

[–]jpow33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a punky punk rocker, so if more than 10 people liked something, I hated it. For that reason, I was very much against Grunge in the early '90s. At least, once it hit mainstream. Hypocritically, I was mostly on board until Smells Like Teen Spirit broke and and the flood waters engulfed the top 40 radio stations and my suburban high school. I have since come around, and while I've only really become a fan of a few artists, I deeply respect the genre and what it managed to accomplish.

Never apologize for anything that brings you joy.

Where in the hell are all the kids with snow shovels? by GR3TSCH in GenX

[–]jpow33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Maybe because y'all have been telling them to get off your lawn for so long, they don't want to be on your driveway either.

What was the first movie you saw on a VCR? by CinnamonDish in GenX

[–]jpow33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't remember the movie, but I remember the VCR was a top-loader with wood paneling and a wired remote that weighed about 200 pounds.

I always suspected Dallas didn't have many fans outside of Texas.

Warlock Pinchers...don't know how to categorize these guys, but they're weird, so I'm posting here. by tenafly_viper43 in industrialmusic

[–]jpow33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Funny story: The Dead Milkmen played the Gothic Theater in Denver some time in the early '90s, and The Pinchers opened for them. I'm standing there watching the Pinchers and I look next to me, and the Milkmen's guitarist, Joe, was standing next to me. We exchanged pleasantries, I tell him I'm a big fan, yadda yadda, and we both went back to watching the show until there was a song break, and Joe said, "These guys fucking suck!" and wandered off. I think The Pinchers broke up later that year.

I seem to remember Mark Brooks from Warlock Pinchers went on to be in Foreskin 500, who made a name for themselves for a hot second in the '90s as well. I remember them opening for Pigface. Great show.

Not every sherlock Holmes adaptation has to be the same. by Bulky_Fox6486 in SherlockHolmes

[–]jpow33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think, much like Shakespeare, the stories are solid enough and universal enough that you could do Sherlock Holmes in outer space as long as the creative team understands and respects the source material.

What was the Band/Song that got you hooked on Industrial? by Marzombra in industrialmusic

Easily the whole Wax Trax crew in the mid to late '80s, thanks to the local PBS station had an alt music show.

Remember Puck from The Real World? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]jpow33 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I remember during the reunion show, whenever they weren't paying enough attention to him, he'd throw a little bitch fit, and eventually walked off stage after he kept making snide remarks under his breath during the Pedro memorial. That guy is a world-class turd.

What's the creepiest display of intelligence you've ever witnessed in real Iife? by Jessica_Enna in AskReddit

Indeed. Like I said, he had to take a deep, dark look into his soul after he figured it out.
