I will bet on the games but won't watch. The NBA is lame. This time of year is all about the Stanley Cup playoffs.

I can't be the only one who cranks up Kenny Loggins' "Playin' with the Boys" every time I drive to the titty bar. Right??? *Volleyball scene gif* Movie is fucking bad ass, though. Saw it on the biggest screen in AZ, the Harkins 80 footer in Goodyear.

Many good times. The first one that comes to mind here was a few years ago. Drunk watching a baseball game or something, girl texts a couple times and then calls, says I should come in. Normally that's a no-go for me but, hey, I was drunk. So a quick Uber there, I walk in and realize I'm the only one there about 1am on a weeknight. Bartender is closing his bar. The girl I knew and another come out of the locker room. Manager tells me something like $600 to take both to the private room upstairs. NOPE! He asks what I can do, told him I had $300 on me. He asked the girls if that was ok, they both said yes. Manager gave me a free rocks glass full of Glenlivet 12 because the bartender was closing the register, and up we went. It was supposed to be 15 mins. An hour later the manager comes up the stairs and calls to us to come back down, time's up, they're closing. I won't get into all the details of evening, but...the girl I knew had real ones, the other had store-bought, so the blind "whose are these" test was fun.

Next time you watch the first, pay attention to the credits, specifically the Naval Aviators being thanked. I've seen it a million times, but this weekend for the first time ever noticed that they thanked Peter "Horse" Caulk.

But apparently my thumb can't hit the right letter. Too Gun? WTF? Fail.

Ah, Memorial Day...the beginning of my annual viewing of Band of Brothers.

Eh, there may have been a couple 7s at best.

Who the hell would deny that one?!? It discusses the trip, compares it to past experiences, provides costs and descriptions of the layout, and it's one of the most well-written, grammatically, I've ever seen on here. Hell, there are paragraphs, and it's clear English was one of the first half-dozen languages learned by the writer. Whomever is responsible for its denial must be a racist.

Make sure to wear your napkin like a bib. Chicks dig that. Oh...and ask her to cut your meat for you.

On what planet would he think that was acceptable and not about to ruin his career?!???

Heaving, wasn't that a U2 song? "It's all right, it's all right, It's aaaaaaall right, The system works, In mysterious ways"

There's an "ignore" button. I get the feeling there are a handful of people here whose blood pressure readings would benefit from using it a tit bit more often.

@ shailynn This is the emulator / arcade thing. I did wifi upgrade one to download games that weren't on it. It's pretty cool...easy set up, and you can get a couple remotes to play four-player games like NBA Jam or The Simpsons or something. Really easy to set up, too. I don't have anything else to compare it to, but almost any game I could think of is on there... can't save games, though as far as I know. And...a couple that I've tried didn't work. I was bummed when Pole Position didn't work. https://homeretrogaming.com/ And this one I got from Amazon. I had found some old NES and SNES cartridges in the garage, no idea I still had them. Bought this for $90, and the games still work. Plus Genesis, all in one console. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079C6C1RX/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_PKG1THFAN0D2ZBWWHPME If that link doesn't work, it's super retro trio on Amazon. And you can get refurbished games and systems from this place called DK Oldies. I've bought a handful of games from them, like Tyson's Punch Out, NHL 98, and Tecmo Bowl...no issues whatsoever, all work perfectly (knock on wood). I don't play the stuff very often, but shit, it was 2020, there were no sports...I was bored as hell. https://www.dkoldies.com/

Got an Atari 2600 when I was six, had Moon Patrol and Jungle Hunt. And then through elementary and high school: Nintendo: Bases Loaded 2 NES Playaction Football Ice Hockey Super Mario Bros. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Little League Baseball SNES: Super Mario World Mario Kart NBA Jam NHL Stanley Cup Aladdin NBA Live 95 Arcade: Galaga (still love it) Final Fight NBA Jam Operation Wolf Afterburner Spy Hunter I was HORRIBLE at the fighting games like SF2 and MK Genesis (if at a buddy's): NHLPA 93 Playstation: Metal Gear Solid NFL GameDay 99 In my 20s I bought a PS2 and dug GTA San Andreas. It was fun to bang the hookers to get your health stats up, then kill 'em and steal the money. 2020 I bought a couple things to play old games. One is an emulator thing with like 23000 games, acrylic board with buttons and joysticks like an arcade. And then bought a system that plays the old NES, SNES, and Genesis cartridges. It's been fun playing Mike Tyson's Punch out and Super Mario Kart.

Have not been in a while...too busy watching 10 games/night and following my sports bets. Next week is Pearl Jam and I took a couple days off...perhaps I'll sneak a visit in. But if I don't, with Stanley Cup playoffs in full swing now, I wouldn't anticipate a free night for at least a month!

I used to go to Vegas once / month about 15 years ago. I got my ass kicked every time. I remember the worst weekend started off at either a $25 or $50/hand blackjack table. I lost the first 12 hands in a row...and I'm pulling 19s and 20s every time. Bitch kept getting 20s and 21s. That weekend I ended up accidentally spilling drinks down the shirt of a Playboy playmate who was at the club after signing autographs earlier. I was turning to get through the crowd, got bumped, and next thing I know Jack and Coke is slowly sliding between her store-bought boobs. Her bodyguards weren't thrilled with me but wasn't my fault! The other trips usually averaged $3k-$4k (life's great when you make more money at 24 than 40...). I remember sitting at a poker table during March madness. I bet on Montana to beat Nevada just to troll Vegas. Just as that game ended and Montana won, I was small blind and got 2S, 3S. Nobody raised so I was in. Flopped a straight. Turned a straight flush. Nobody had a clue...they were re-raising each other after they hit the straight, flush, and full house they were chasing. I just kept calling the raises. When the dealer mouthed "holy shit" as I turned my cards, dude with the boat got pissed and asked why the hell I played 2, 3. "Because I was blind and you didn't raise me out of it." -- That was a few hundred...that I would lose at blackjack tables an hour later. Now?? Gambling is best on my couch. Got my booze, my three TVs in the living room, my pen, and my trusty notebook to keep track of all the games. I love it. The single moms of Phoenix, not so much. Almost never go to strip clubs anymore.

"Luna though could speak very little English..." Apparently she's not the only one...

Consolidated (featuring the Yeastie Girls) - You Suck https://youtu.be/BoyUUu1rPhE

Letters to Cleo - Here and Now https://youtu.be/5w2YLdjxS_M Maybe the biggest one nobody's mentioned so far: No Doubt. When Tragic Kingdom came out when I was in 9th or 10th grade, I had a massive crush on Gwen Stefani. My buddy waa partial tobNatalie Imbruglia. https://youtu.be/VV1XWJN3nJo

Mazzy Star and 4 Non Blondes, amen.

SNEAKER PIMPS! Yes!!!! That's the one where the girl sounds like Joey Lauren Adams!!

First time I heard Evanescence - Bring Me to Life, I thought it was Ms. Tori Amos rocking out with Linkin Park. Really liked Sinead O'Connor's cover of Nothing Compares...and then I hear Chris Cornell's version.

Some of the other lesser-known names but recognizable songs Elastica - Connection https://youtu.be/ilKcXIFi-Rc Luscious Jackson - Naked Eye https://youtu.be/0NhqN0KcWAE Plus Sonic Youth, L7, and....fuck...I can't remember the name but the singer's voice is really breathy, like the actress Joey Lauren Adams

Aimee Allen - I'm Not Your Girlfriend https://youtu.be/I0XE3-xeBbQ That was early 2000s, but same style, and the first time I heard it I was driving in the afternoon and thought damn that song was kinda hot..

And sort of off topic because it's not 90s chick rockers, but I'd you want to hear some bad ass covers of 90s rock songs, check out the covers done by Aaron Lewis from Staind and Corey Taylor from Slipknot. Ho-ly shit. Those dudes put 90s rock on a pedestal and do it justice..
