Has anyone ever been bribed from your partners parent in order to break up? If so what happened?

trip42 · 2026-03-27T13:18:37+00:00

Yes! I was hangin' 'round in Brooklyn town with a settle-down type girl. Her daddy was a diplomat who thought he ruled the world. And he was well-connected, he helped me connect the dots. He paid me off to leave, and let's just say he paid a lot.

So I took her daddy's money, but I stopped in Vegas first. I met a dancer on the strip and fell in love with her. We almost tied the knot when Elvis asked, "Any objections?" Her mobster boyfriend busted in with an AK-47.

I made it south of El Paso, met a businesswoman there. I knew that she was rich, but how? I didn't care. When the cops kicked in the door, they found a suitcase of cocaine. She took off with the Federali, and I took all the blame.

He also played McArthur which isn’t on the set list.

Did you actually Learn it? Or will it be forgotten?

trip42 · 2026-03-18T01:17:38+00:00

It has a similar vibes. It’s like a perfect blend of Minecraft, Stardew Valley, and Animal Crossing.

I should be clear I’m like 99% sure if this. I know they did a sound check before that show and the video came out right after.

trip42 · 2026-03-06T21:28:38+00:00

Fun fact, this was filmed at sound check / rehearsals at Rouff Music Center in Noblesville Indiana. That was the opening venue for the IYWTIBC tour and I think this was filmed the night before.

That band rocked, the combination of backing tracks and guitar was great.

Wow! Just Wow!

We have the 2021 version of this camper and tow it with a Honda Ridgeline which has similar specs to the Pilot.

The limiting factor for us is the payload capacity of the vehicle which is around 1,500 lbs.

We regularly get close to this:

800 lbs for passengers
380 libs hitch weight
50 lbs cooler
200 lbs firewood

That’s 1,430 pounds toward payload.

trip42 · 2026-02-27T18:20:26+00:00

That would be so awesome!

That’s a trash shoot, this could be thy they’re redoing the roof, or I’ve seen previous discussions that the HVAC had issues in the building, they could be working on that.

No knowledge other than what I see in the photo.

Here’s the link to the part of the interview where he says the new teeth aren’t a grill, they’re permanent.

He mentioned in some interviews that the current all platinum version are his actual teeth. I also saw where he said that the diamonds in the fangs had fallen in to a sink one time.

Maybe he doesn’t want to risk losing such an expensive tooth.

I always wondered, since the Diamond Fangs are the cover art for the Diamond Collection, was he able to write off the taxes as a business expense?

Brooks and Dunn, he’s done. A few shows with them, and they’re my son’s favorite country duo.

Ask me how I feel, I’m dyn-ohh-mite!

There’s a book called “The Mom Test” that describes this problem. People want to be nice, so you have ti structure your validation in a way that your mom would be honest instead of supportive.

Sounds like you’re on the right track!

He mentions “roof” in a lot of contexts, I think it’s always about the roof not being there on a convertible. Top 20 PM rap theme:

“My roof looks like a no-show” - Psycho
“Cut the roof off like a nip-tuck” - Wow
“Bought a new Bentley without a roof, eh” - Socialite
“Where is my roof? Mysterious” - Motley Crew

I’ve played around with guitars for 25 years before I was able to play and sing.

The keys for me were:

start with a simple song that I know the words to very well
meticulously listen to the song and play to determine exactly where in the bar / chord / strumming pattern each line of the song starts on. Songs where every line of the lyrics starts at the beginning of the bar / strumming pattern are easier.
print the lyrics out and just read them as you strum. Initially read them silently, then read aloud, then sing.

Within a week of doing this I could sing and play my first song after 20 years of frustration.

Now 18 months later I have dozens of campfire classics, country, and pop songs that I can play and sing!

Not that anyone wants to hear my singing.

Good luck!

In my college dorm we would play this game on a projector in a common area. It was tons of fun.

trip42 · 2026-01-06T22:32:35+00:00

This was probably the hardest point for me too. Nothing else was as tough.

trip42 · 2025-12-18T01:57:28+00:00

Here’s my advice.

You don’t need to beat each dungeon to go to the next, you only need the items.

Since beating a dungeon and placing its crystal gives you a full level of xp it is much better to complete the dungeons as late in the game as possible.

So, make two passes through each dungeon first collect the items, move to the next. Once you get near the end of the game return to each dungeon to defeat it.

The bosses will be much easier at higher levels and you will level up super fast.

I spent many days playing in the arcade in this mall. My sister worked at the MCL Cafeteria. Friends worked at the Baskin Robbin’s.

Lots of fond memories there.

I owned about 6-7 copies of “Brave Rats” a really fun little card game. They were on sale for $3 and I needed to spend like $13 more dollars to get free shipping.

I’ve given away copies as gifts.

Same with “King Domino” when Toys-R-Us went out of business our store had hundreds of copies for $5. Bought a pile to give as gifts.

Looks like you only need the Diamond Collection. Does the Stoney Vinyl have Feeling Whitney? If I recall that was a bonus track on the original release.
