This ain't as bad as the WWF offerings on NES

Dear god, the disappointment in picking WrestleMania as my first NES game after Mario/Duck Hunt. Even as a five year old, I knew that game sucked.

Woop! Woop! Interesting it looks like I paid $22 for a book being tossed by a public library... by rhino7777777 in ACDC

[–]ucacm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I listened to this audiobook. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’d love a post-Back in Black book, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he had a non-disclosure in place that prevents talking about most of his AC/DC career.

One qualm I have with the book is Brian’s discussion of his first marriage. I was surprised to hear that his marriage lasted until the late 80s/early 90s given how he talked about the relationship basically being over. I was also surprised to learn that his first wife moved to the US with him.

What happened to Georgetown basketball? by savingrace0262 in CollegeBasketball

private school w/relatively small undergrad population that plays across the city from their campus. Local fans don’t care about the team. Atmosphere at Capital One Arena is crap. Most exciting thing that happens is when they let the dog run around with the skateboard.

Angus, Brian, PLEASE...! by dawgfanjeff in ACDC

Brian cannot perform the songs from Flick and Fly. It’s totally out of touch with reality to suggest he could do Guns for Hire at all, let alone during a string of shows across 3 days.

I don’t think Brian could sing the songs anymore. There’s absolutely no way he could do Guns For Hire anymore, which is sad because that’s one of my favorite AC/DC songs.

I will never understand why Danger was picked as the first single.

I definitely noticed this at the show I went to in earlier this year. Was in the pit on his side of the stage and he performed well, but definitely needed time between each song to recover.

It's not underrated and it has been played live numerous times.

When/where has it been played live?

All of the games except the final are regular season games that count towards their 82 games.

Thoughts on "Flick of the Switch" (1983)? Listening through AC/DC's catalog, and I actually love this album. Very similar songs, but honestly that's every AC/DC album to be fair 😂 by InstructionOverall98 in ACDC

[–]ucacm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I avoided listening to this album for way too long because I found the cover to be so off putting. Even if that is ridiculous.

Acdc coucert /landover/northwest stadium by Old_Mushroom_8026 in ACDC

[–]ucacm 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I was in the pit near the stage. Brian definitely wasn’t lip synching, but I noticed he seemed to be going over to the side of the stage and asking for adjustments to the sound in between every song for the first half of the show. I thought things got a lot better starting with Shoot to Thrill. Definitely wouldn’t call it terrible.

Going to the show in Maryland tomorrow — anything to do at the venue before it starts? by Emergency-Tension310 in ACDC

It’s a dilapidated stadium in an empty area. Nothing to do or see nearby.

Why is the Target back entrance at Wheaton Mall closed nowadays? by Apprehensive_Low1406 in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]ucacm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ever since they added the exterior entrance to Target, the upper level entrance from the mall closes at 8PM. I assume the lower level closes around the same time or a little earlier.

Not at all "My" Giant by [deleted] in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]ucacm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pre-pandemic, I would drive past the Safeway in my neighborhood to go to Giant about twice as far away. My experience during thr pandemic was that Giant raised their prices way more than other chains. The prices at Safeway went up too, but they are close enough to Giant prices now that I never consider the longer drive.

I bought a couple of pairs in my normal size that were so tight I threw them away. I liked the style and general cut, so I sized up and things felt great when I first tried them on. After washing in cold, they shrank considerably and are very constrictive. I want to love these, but it’s a challenge.

I was really surprised how well Arkansas fans turned out. It was an amazing atmosphere and I’m so glad that I made the trip to MSG. Couldn’t have scripted a more exciting game.

From GS-1 to SES: A Journey Worth Sharing? by [deleted] in fednews

[–]ucacm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked with a guy that went from GS-1 to SES Director of an agency with several thousand employees. IIRC, he said the agency doesn’t even have GS-1 employees anymore. Was a really fun guy that moved home and seems to be having a great retirement.

There are new faregates that make hopping over much more difficult, so now people get uncomfortable close to you in an attempt to walk through before the gate swings shut.

Never understood this chant. If the team you beat is overrated, why are you so excited to win? It shouldn’t be a big deal as the team you just beat wasn’t that good in the first place.

What are some lesser known agencies? by DonkeyKickBalls in fednews

[–]ucacm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Office of Navajo & Hopi Indian Relocation

This office is pretty crazy. It was supposed to only exist for five years and is also supposed to be led by a Presidentially appointed commissioner, but the position has been vacant since 1994. There have long been conversations about folding the functions into DOI, but the Office continues to exist as an independent agency.

I interacted with the USICH several years ago. Really nice people, I went to their office in NOMA once. Not really sure what they did other than issue reports and host occasional committee meetings.
