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:

• NOFX: Punk in Drublic - the definitive 90s skate punk album
• Social Distortion: White Light White Heat White Trash - My all time favorite band. A great mix of punk, rockabilly, blues, and a little country. Truly there is no other band that sounds like them. I also recommend their album Live at the Roxy, because they are amazing live.

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.

Yo. Check this out guys, this is insanely great, it's got a 28.8 BPS modem!

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.

OK State I get because they bet an SEC school. I'm most shocked that TAMU is still getting votes.

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.

Strange they went with Kill Crazy for Burt Ward and not Batman

Not the prettiest win. The defense should get most of the credit. They could have easily been down 14-0 early with those turn overs. Without all 3 turn overs it wouldn't have been nearly as close of a score. Also Hurts and Jurgens need to do nothing but work on their timing until the next game.

Milo is one of only a handful of YouTubers I have notifications turned on for. His stuff is always top tier

I have my concealed carry license so I take the bottom one. The shorter length makes it easier to conceal.

No, but according to my wife they are family heirlooms. They start with her great-grandmother, her grandmother, her mom, and her's.

Our neighborhood had large community mailboxes and my dad would always make me walk down the street to get the mail. One day there were some older kids outside and they started squirting me with water-guns. I got home and told my dad and he asked me to show him where the kids were. When I did he yelled at them saying, "don't squirt my mail!"

The sad thing is I though he was talking about me, as in male. It wasn't until years later I realized he didn't give a crap about me, he was mad his mail got wet.

It's by far not be the most narcissistic thing my dad did, (that would be beating the shit out of me for not wanting to go to church because it made him look bad). But I think about it often because I want my kids to know they are the most important thing to me, and I never want to say something that would make them think otherwise.

There is a road about 10 miles from my house that is just rural and empty, has a huge shoulder to ride on, and no major elevation changes. My perfect Saturday morning was riding 20-30 miles on that road.

...And then the county went and put chipseal down. It created so much resistance on my tires that it felt like pedaling in mud. And it only got worse overtime because all the loose chipseal the cars kick up piles up on the shoulder. It just breaks my heart.

Dang UTSA getting votes and Texas Tech getting nothing feels like I'm in a simulation

It's really just a small pinch of salt that comes out

I have a BUG-A-SALT that attached a laser sight on. It can take out a fly from a few feet away. And it makes it fun.

I was in the US Air Force and stationed in England. If someone left their ID out we would hide it or freeze it in a block of ice. Your ID also happens to have your social security number on it. One of my coworkers left her ID on the table and when I grabbed it to go hide it, I noticed her social security number was only a couple of numbers off of mine. The first 8 numbers were completely the same.

For those not from the US, our socials are 9 digits long. The first 5 digits of your social security number indicates the part of the country you were born in. The last 4 digits are assigned from 0001-9999.

It turns out we were born in the same hospital 1 day apart, and met halfway across the globe 20 years later.

Some of my favorites

Amharic - ይማርህ - May God forgive you

Makes it sound like sneezing is seen as a punishment

Kyrgyz - Ак чүч! - This may be based on an onomatopœia of the sound of a sneeze, like the English "Atchoo."

This is basically what my autistic son does, so it made me laugh

No explanation needed for these last two

Serbian - Pis Maco - Go away kitten

Silesian - Pyrsk! - Cheers

He ain't got nothing on Scott Sterling

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.

I'm all for technology, but if it ain't broken don't fix it. It sounds like they won't have a marker for players on the field to see. That could make things much more difficult for players on the field to judge. If they can reach out and run out of bounds towards a giant orange pole, it could lead to more collisions and injuries. Also, if they have to do all this calibration how are they going to handle mixed us facilities where they pick up and remove the grass? Or the Cardinals stadium where the grass moves outside? It just sounds like a nightmare.

I'm saving this thread to show to my wife later. She was mortified that I let the cable guy into our house with dirty dishes in the sink. And I'm not talking about an overflowing sink. I'm talking about 2-3 plates and maybe a couple of forks.

When my son was younger he was extremely scared of thunderstorms. The closest under our stairs is fairly large and is in the middle of the house, so with a noise maker he couldn't hear the storms in there. We ended up putting a cot in there and decorating it with a bunch of Harry Potter stuff. Any time there was rain he would just hang out in there until it was over. At one point he actually preferred it to his bedroom.

Why is Cinderella bad at soccer?

Because she's always running away from balls

Hmmm, I was thinking of moving to New England, but now...

Alex Ross is the goat. Now I'm going to have to read it again. Not that I'm complaining.

Superman hands down. He's the character that got me into comics. Growing up I wore out the VHS copies of the Christopher Reeve movies.

That's exactly what I was thinking

Living in Idaho that was a daily occurrence.

I was driving from Bakersfield to LA and pulled off the highway to get some gas. It was one of those exit ramps that goes down lower than the highway. I'm sitting at the light waiting to turn left and go under the highway, when a car comes flying off the highway upside down. It is airborne and goes right over top of my car. It hits the ground, slides until it hits the other side of the road and somehow rolls back onto its wheels. It then tries to take off but just crashes into fence and stops. A few moments later a parade of police cars came hauling ass down the exit ramp. I just drove straight back onto the highway and stopped at the next gas station.

Every Google icon on Android. They all look too similar to each other. That an Authenticator looks like a rainbow butthole.

There better not be a single unsolved crime in all of Granbury.

I started using Crunchbang because it was so lightweight and ran great on Virtual Box on Windows 7. I stopped using it, when they stopped developing it. I wasn't aware of ++. I will be installing it this evening.

Hopefully, I did a lot of work in the Texas sun today. I have a huge ass travel mug that I use when working outside, and I filled it and finished it twice.
