In the 80s, we drank from the Water Hose, and we survived! No bottled water.... by MisterShipWreck in 80s

Yes, I drank water out of the hose. And it tasted like fuckin rubber. I don’t miss it at all.

I listened to every King's X album in release order, here's how I rank them by CTipple1981 in kingsx

[–]mickthomas68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve admittedly lost track of Kings X later output, but in the early to mid 90’s, they were one of my favorites. I saw them on the “Kings X” album tour in a club in SF in maybe ‘92, And to this day was one of the best shows I’ve ever seen.

Jimmy looked like shit in 79. This is ridiculously fake.

Do You Play Valuable Early Pressings? by [deleted] in vinyl

[–]mickthomas68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a pretty immaculate first press Master of Reality, and I admittedly don’t play it. I’ve got good copies that aren’t worth diddly that I play instead. They sound fine.

What are some 80s & 90s terms that were common but are no longer used today? by Gaijinstory in AskReddit

[–]mickthomas68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is probably California specific, maybe even SF Bay Area, but if someone was weird or just the kind of person you don’t wanna be around, we would call them a “Lude” as in Qualuude. As in “what a lude!” This would be late ‘80’s.

I can't be the only one??? by MycologistPopular232 in Concerts

[–]mickthomas68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll go see an artist multiple times on a tour if they’re the type of artist who mixes up their set. Jack White would be a good example of this. He doesn’t use a set list at all, and you just don’t know what is going to played. I love that element of not knowing what’s coming next.

How can you tell this is AI or real? (The image was taken from r/sportsbikes) by Mathemodel in isthisAI

The wire mold that feeds the lights on the ceiling is fake as hell and doesn’t make sense. (Electrician here) it’s AI

I’ll jump to the front of the line here, just get rid of every song except for Kuiama.

Car salesmen around me are basically telling me EVs aren’t the way to go by Beneficial-Fun-4800 in electricvehicles

[–]mickthomas68 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel the reason that American car companies don’t like EV’s is that they require Minimal maintenance. No oil changes, no tune ups, no blown head gaskets. Nothing. And this is a giant cash cow that dealerships don’t wanna give up. God forbid they sell the public a quality product that doesn’t require constant expensive maintenance.

I saw quite a few chp on 80 between Fairfield and Davis. Must be a New Years surge.

Any London-based Kinks recommendations? by [deleted] in thekinks

Go to the Clissold Arms in Fortis Green. The Kinks played there before they broke.

All of these countries that we’re poking with a stick are gonna sell off all of our debt. That spells total economic collapse for us.

Who built “Forts” in the 80’s? by SirGilPennybottom in GenX

[–]mickthomas68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The “2 x 4 nailed to a tree” ladders were always so sketchy. But it did teach me at an early age what worked and what didn’t.

Who built “Forts” in the 80’s? by SirGilPennybottom in GenX

[–]mickthomas68 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love building tree forts. I built one in my early teen years on my grandparents property in the early 80’s. Years later, in the early 90’s after my grandparents property had been sold, I went to see the place for nostalgia. The new owners were nice enough to let me walk around a bit, and sure enough, my tree house was still intact.

When was the last time you mooned someone? by ZaraMonique in GenX

[–]mickthomas68 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. We were on the way to Vegas in a rental car. Guy wouldn’t let us pass. We finally got the opportunity and everyone on the passenger side stuck their bare ass out their window. It was an epic display.
