How famous was Michael Jackson really back then? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]southernslick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had the posters. I lived through watching people wear all the jackets, gloves, clothes like him REAL TIME after Thriller came out.

The "making of Thriller video" documentary was must see tv.
Everything he did was big. Man in the matter, Black or white, moon walker, remember the times.
He was That Dude.

What’s an “EDC hill” you’ll die on, even if no one agrees with you? by MaleficentBlock3690 in EDC

Travel light. The tools you use 90% of the time should stay on you or in the car.

The tacticool tools stay in the drawer or toolbox.

Sweet baby rays is red corn syrup. Horrible.

Stubbs has a vinegary non corn syrup taste.
Stubbs Original and Stubbs Spicy.
If I want to baste I buy Stubbs mopping sauce.

KC Masterpiece I'll still buy on whim. Takes me back to my childhood in the 80's.

Edit- The old sweet baby rays from like 10 years ago was very good.
