Overnight Open Thread -- 11/29/13
— Open Blogger

My deepest apologies for the tardiness of this thread. With the holidays and some family issues in recent days, it had completely slipped my mind. So, lets start out with a fair approximation of what I feel like right about now.

As a bartender, I get to see quite a few bar tricks. Unfortunately, I can never remember them. But, in the event you have a better memory than I do -- and who doesn't -- here's a few you might want to use on your friends.

Of course, working in bars means you have to spend a great deal of time dealing with drunks. It's a lot like dealing with children, actually. Only, when they pass out in your bar, you have to kick them out of the place. When they pass out in your home, however, you can have a bit of fun with them. Drunk-shaming, they call it. And, since you do it with drunks in your home, why not do it with the children as well?

Of course, the fun with children in your household doesn't have to stop there. Sometimes, the best time to get them is when they least expect it: First thing in the morning, when they're groggy and incoherent. Here's a fun little prank that's sure to delight the whole family at their expense.

Well, that's all I got for tonight's ONT. Please accept my deepest apologies for the delay. I hope you guys -- and Ace and the cobs -- can find it within yourselves to forgive me.

29 The last prank I pulled was my senior year in college. Baseball regional playoffs. Lights out was supposed to be at 1030. It's midnight and the other pitcher in the room and I were bored. So we decide to fuck with my good buddy, who happens to be the Student Assistant for the team. And his room is only 4 doors down. We wait until it's completely quiet, fill one the trashcans in the room 3/4 full with water. I sneak down..gingerly lean the bucket up against his door, knock and then HAUL ASS back to our room.

Here everyone share in my overwhelming hate.

On Monday night my older sister texted me while at work. My younger sister's husband moved out on her. He's been cheating on her for a few months with a girl from work. She's known for a few months, and was hoping that things would work out. They have 2 kids together. I could write pages of the stupid shit he has done in the time we have known him, especially recently, like wrecking her car just a few ago (while probably high), after he had let the insurance drop on it, and lying that it wasn't actually his fault that the insurance payments weren't made. This worthless bottom feeding dicklicker is damn lucky I have no desire to see the inside of a jail cell, unlike his mudsucking ass has seen.

I'm sure you can imagine how she is feeling right now. Probably part of her wants to. She's really upset and everything. She had to take them over there last night. And she was there in the bedroom.

And like I said; I could probably write pages of shit. Like him telling her "You better not try and get child support because I need to budget for that." You haven't budgeted anything the entire time we've known you you stupid dumbass buying all those stupid fucking cars you try to fix up.

I'm sure of all the people I know who come into the bar where I work, someone must know someone who knows someone. I don't need to have it fixed by Monday, but I sure would like to be able to say I have something in the works before I take off.

Hell I believe that most divorce/custody law is set up to screw the guy over. And that there are plenty of women out there that will just that. I can think of a guy at work that has that situation where his ex does everything she can to keep his kid away from him. And with that being said my can't happen soon enough ex brother in law to be is one of the reasons for that. Take him for everything you can get, which probably won't be much.

Managed to stay with him for almost four years but simply couldn't take it any longer. I raised my son myself and finally found a MAN who wanted to be his father. The SOB never paid a dime in child support. Took him to court before son turned 19 and at least now he will be paying for my son's education. It was not easy but I can say that my son's life (and mine!) have been better for it.

My politically mixed family avoids political conversations at family gatherings - because we know from experience things get awful pretty quickly if we do talk politics. But my conservative BIL, who had a few drinks in him, couldn't resist taking a swipe at Obamacare yesterday. The libs froze and stared at their plates. Clearly, they didn't want to take the administrations advice and lecture their Republican relatives how swell Barrycare really is. My sister, who is also conversative, rescued the libs by changing the subject immediately.

I have to admit - I got a little warm glow looking at the expressions on the libs faces. It was like they had farted in church and were hoping nobody would realize it was them.

I suspect I'll spend more time on Frenchmen St. than any other place. Based on what I've been reading, something about it really appeals to me. My main objective will be photography while I'm there, and there's something about musicians that make them fascinating subjects to me -- I guess the fact that I've always wished I had that kind of talent. I play a little myself, but I have the utmost respect for people who have the kind of ability to play for the public in a city like New Orleans, where music is so deeply ingrained in the culture. You cannot be a slouch and play on the streets of that town.

135 @ 119 [Bill H] -- I don't have a synopsis, really, beyond what she was willing to say -- the truth of which is, as you can imagine, in doubt. Best I can tell she was plastered and backed into a friend's vehicle leaving a party. The "plastered" part is the sticking point, obviously.

And thanks for the ONT forbearance. I just hate to let Ace and the cobs down on something like that. For all the self-deprecation that goes on here, this place is the proverbial "kind of a big deal" among the online right, and it didn't get that way by having half-assed, unreliable contributors. So, I was pretty mortified when I realized what I'd done.

@ 120 [NCwoof] -- I certainly plan on asking around about the good hole-in-the-wall kind of places. Every town I've ever been in has them -- the little mom-and-pop restaurants with daily plate specials. I won't be flying down, though, so I can't ask the cabbie along the way. I'm driving down with a friend of mine who's going down there on business, helping to split the drive-time up for him.

But, I'm sure I'll stop in a few places along the way and will start asking for recommendations as I get closer to New Orleans.

As for the damage, the only real sheet metal damage I can see is right around the gas tank lid. The rest seems to be swapped paint and the broken tail light lens. The biggest damage of all is the simple inconvenience and timing of it [weekend/holiday]. I can't drive it like that, and I work at a bar -- so, whenever I go in or leave, there's a strong likelihood I'm going to pass a cop and get pulled over. And I don't have another vehicle to drive in the interim, which means I'm going to have to borrow one, or bum a ride.

And, yeah -- I do need the little getaway. I'm sure I'll be better prepared to deal with it all when I get back.

Seriously, DDR, Slayer was great. I've seen them at least 10 times over the years and they've never put on a bad performance. I don't know how they do it...the speed and precision combo.

205 @ 203 [Biff Boffo] -- It seems weird as hell to say it, but I never really developed much of an appreciation for Slayer until I got older! Back in the day, I was much more into mainstream metal. I worshiped Iron Maiden and saw them as the benchmark in every way. I liked Slayer and some of the thrash/speed metal bands well enough, but always thought of them as somehow less legitimate because of the vocals and the blood/horror/war/evil themes that dominated their songs. I guess at the time, I just thought of them as having no real appeal beyond a small subset of particularly alienated teenaged boys.

Nowadays, I listen to them and their musicianship really stands out more than anything else. I guess it was Pantera that kind of opened me up to that whole scene several years later.

I switched over to playing thrash/speed metal when bands like iron maiden and priest started getting stale. Priest was getting weird with the teeny bopper anthems (parental guidance for example), and maiden was starting to run out of ideas and was getting repetitious.In general there wasn't as much traditional metal being done and shit was going towards the shitty hairband stuff. The thrash and speedmetal was a reaction to the frigging hairband shit, and it had raw power. It was the only place the musicians on the heavier side of things could go.

Posted by: Berserker- Dragonheads Div at November 29, 2013 11:40 PM (FMbng)

208 Same with me...I was into the Priest/Maiden/Ozzy stuff, until '86. That year is pretty much the dividing line. Priest became cartoonish, Maiden became the metal equivalent of Yes...overwrought 12 minute songs....but Metallica released Master of Puppets, Megadeth had Peace Sells, and Slayer made Reign in Blood.

I really hate when people say this but, Reign changed my life. My musical life, anyway. It was exactly what I was looking for at the time. Most people hear noise and shouting, I hear a symphony. And they sound just as good live as they do in the recordings.

213 @ 209 [Berserker] -- Ain't that the truth!

I started experiencing what you're talking about when Maiden released Seventh Son... and stopped listening to Priest completely at Turbo. I did fall for some of the hair metal crap for a while, if only because that was the heaviest thing going at the time, and the girls seemed to like it. But, that didn't last too long before I got sick of it.

I got into Alice in Chains and Soundgarden a bit in the post-metal years, but that's as far into the whole Seattle scene as I could really get. Nirvana and Pearl Jam had some songs I liked, but all the navel gazing and angst just didn't do it for me. (I like Foo Fighters a LOT more than I ever liked Nirvana, BTW.)

Buckcherry got my hopes up for a few minutes, but seemed to disappear as quickly as they arrived. Since then, I can't really think of a hard rock/heavy metal act that strikes me as inspiring at all. The whole nu metal scene really turned me off everything for a long time, and if I ever hear another Korn song as long as I live, it will be too soon.

And I haven't really heard any heavy stuff in a long time that makes me want to check out an entire album. It doesn't all suck, by any means. But, I sure as hell don't see any world-changing bands coming down the pike anytime soon. If there are any, they'll come from outside the world of major labels and will probably be completely autonomous.

217 How would I leave my assets to 2 kids that aren't mine biologically? No legal rights to them at all.

Posted by: shredded chi at November 30, 2013 12:22 AM (ufy6O)

218 Funny thing is, I don't like most other thrash/speed bands beyond the "big three" ( I don't consider Anthrax an equal), and both Metallica and Megadeth have disappointed me since the early 90's. Slayer is kind of like AC/DC, they never changed their basic sound to sell more records, they know their audience and are content. the set list that they played last night was all pre-1990 stuff.

This topic has been kicked around the HQ occasionally, that every generation thinks it's music is the "best ever", and after a certain point, say the mid-20s, people tune out newer music. Personally, I don't listen to much music made after 1993-ish.

Have a will. Requirements vary by state. I don't know if you'll be able to read this -- http://tinyurl.com/pt69exy -- as I'm logged-in by default, but it's handy. A very, very, very important point of custom is that freeloaders and highjackers circle around the dead like jackals, and you need to be as bulletproof as they are likely to be savvy -- in other words, if your estate is $42,000, rebuff the common jackals; if your estate is $420M, don't skimp on the estate lawyers. If you have biological kids, it's more difficult to disinherit them than it is to add heirs.

Any follow-on questions?

220 One thing that I find fascinating is the musical tastes of the youth. At least in my case. I have a 14 year old daughter who absolutely hates the pop music of today. She listens to my classic rock CDs, and absolutely loves the Beatles. Her Ipod is remarkably eclectic, ranging from mid-60's music to modern alternative. It's not just here, it's her circle of friends. She and they are always asking me questions about Pink Floyd, U2, Duran Duran (!).

What's really important is a risk assessment. Who might challenge your will? Will your heirs be situated to defend?

252 I wonder, Baldy, if it's like when you leave the barn door open as a youth, you blush & say, oops! But when you're several decades old and someone says, fly's open, you wonder if the oldtimer's is setting in. Not really, but you make the association.

256 Good morning to fluffy, baldy, backhoe, Uncle Joe, and all the lurks at sea.

258 239 Posted by: mindful webworker - blows to the head? too many at November 30, 2013 07:57 AM (KdfFa) --- Yeah, no, this isn't normal. On top of everything else of last few weeks, mood changes (severe), extreme forgetfulness, bad headache, nausea. It has to be the head injury. Too many weird things all at once, unless I have a tumor, which would be a funny coincidence.

But no money available for manned exploration. The Party of SCIENCE! The Best and Brightest!

262 I told my ex-wife, in the delivery room after youngest son was born and cleaned up but before she saw him, that he was black.
