43 year old here. By the late 90s most of the laces and braces stuff was over in my local scene (Austin, TX). SHARPs learned it was easier to just have a mowhawk or spikes than explaining that yes they were a skinhead but not Nazis or racist.

With that said there were still Nazis that would come around to the clubs from time to time. And it usually ended up with them getting thrown out. Then one night one of them went into the pit and started throwing punches. The whole lot of them got dragged out the back by a bunch of guys a lot larger than me. 10 minutes later they came back in minus the Nazis. After that night I never saw another Nazi at a show again.

I got really into industrial my freshman year of highschool, then I got really into punk my sophomore year. I still remember the day I discovered Lard. Went to the record store and heard Forkboy playing on the PA. I was like, that Jello, but not the Dead Kennedy's. I asked the guy at the counter who it was and ended up leaving the store with both of their albums. They are still in my regular rotation of albums.

Albums that I have probably listened to the most times in my life:

These two don't really need introductions.

  • The Beatles: Abbey Road
  • Nirvana: Nevermind

I'd like to add Whirlwind by The Gits to this list.

Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes is pure 90s hardcore gold. But I think Black Sails in the Sunset has to be my favorite.

In my state all state run sites they use the terms LMHA (local mental health authorities) and LBHA (local behavioral health authorities). But a large majority of the local offices call themselves MHMR (mental health mental retardation).

All the laws and support systems use the term IDD (intellectual or developmental disability). And you'd be hard pressed to find any county that actually lists the full name for their MHMR office. So it seems like they are trying to phase it out. In the meantime it just makes things confusing.

The Sandlot is such a great film. Even my daughter who doesn't know anything about baseball loves watching it with me. There is no other movie that gives me the same feelings as that. There is no major drama or traumatic incidents. Just kids having fun over the summer.

You know nowadays they would have made the stepdad an alcoholic or animal control would have come and taken Hercules away after they found out he was nice, or some other kind of drama like that. But this movie doesn't do any of that. It's just a fun story about a bunch of kids being kids.

Same. Growing up anytime I saw it on TV (which was often on TBS in the 90s) I watched it. I got my first DVD player in 2000 and that was one of the first DVDs I bought. I've watched it at least twice a year since then. So chances are I've seen it close to 100 times.

Every time I drive by a Taco Bell I have to sing, "Taco Bell, Taco Bell, product placement with Taco Bell."

My kids think I'm insane.

Don't make excuses. If you fucked up admit it and make a plan to prevent it from happening in the future. Excuses themselves do nothing to help a situation.

The one that drives me insane is using the touchscreen on my Surface:

  • Go to a channel's page
  • Click on the video tab
  • Scroll through and find the video you want to watch
  • Click on the video and YouTube slides to the playlist tab instead of starting the video. Every fucking time.
