  1. Punk'd is so damn funny, you have no idea.  Imagine an actor with the nerve to prank other stars.  The show is excellent. 

     

    Date my mom, roomraider and shows of that  ilk are for the kiddies.

    I remember Punk'd back when it was on 30 years ago, except then they called it Candid Camera.

  2. about shooting guns at people in the water?  It was pretty facinating when they got to the larger shotguns and calibered bullets, how the bullets disintegrated on impact in the water, yet the pistols fired fatal shots.  that was pretty cool.

    I saw that. I wondered if the fired straight down into the water, what would happen to the bullets.

  3. :o  :doh: There has been a request from some of the babes of the board for the cut off baby doll T-shirts and the screener said they could do them.

     

    Baby Rock and the other ticket girls will be wearing them.  ABS a plenty :)  :lol:

    If all us guys throw in a couple extra $$$, can you "accidently" order them a size smaller than they wanted?

     

    NOTE TO ROCKPILE: Not that I would encourage the above behavior of course.

  4. Sup y'all. 

     

    So, when I was a kid, our town had this "innertube regatta", which was really a Pabst Blue Ribbon festival in disguised as a welfare boat race. That's just the backdrop here though, as the one thing I remember the most about the regatta was that the locals used to run around the place wearing these crocheted (sp?) bucket hats that, all around the brim, were these cut-out tin can sides of Pabst Blue Ribbon cans crocheted into the bucket hat.  That sh-- was hot.  I need to e-bay up one of those.

     

    I know, doesn't have jack to do with Labatts' glasses, but the thread got me thinking about beer, so here you go.

    Doesn't take long to find one.....

  5. I've collected quite a few unusual beer glasses over my travels. Most of the time people were happy to give me one if I asked nice. They have some pretty fancy barwear in Germany and Belgium.

    My Dad has a small collection of German beer glasses, around twenty if I remember right. We were always warned that if we broke one, we'd have to go to Germany to get him a replacement.

  6. Any chance you can get a 1/8" male/male cable and run it from the headphone out port to the microphone in port?  You would probably have to adjust the gain, and you wouldn't be able to hear it while recording, but by the same token you likely wouldn't get feedback...

    Just a thought...

    Or add a 1/8" Y cable at the headphone jack, so he can plug in a set of headphones to listen while recording.

     

    Here's an example of what I'm thinking of....

    Gold-Plated Y-Adapter With 1/8" Jacks & 1/8" Plug at Radio Shack.

  7. Man, I just cannot believe some of these stories with kids and gradmas in wheelchairs. Where are the 98% of people who just will not put up with that, where are the security folks,

     

    Some of these just seem "inconceivable" to me

    Some people don't want to report anything to security because they "don't want to cause trouble".

     

    (Actual qoute from someone complaining to me about an incident at RWS a couple years ago)

  8. FYI, the tracking number provided in the email appears to be of limited value.  I went to the usps site and put in the number, and there was no information, and went to check my mail, and saw my tickets had been slid under my door.  The delivery confirmation bar code number on the envelope matches the number in the email.  So, either that won't get updated until the mail carrier gets back to the office, or he/she didn't bother to scan it.

    Yea, the USPS system for tracking isn't as advance as Fed-Ex. Updates are usually done after the carrier gets back to the PO and updates his info. So later tonight or tommorow you'll see that tickets were delivered.

  9. The PnP units (I have the Audiovox) puts out enough of a signal, that just the cable that connects to the external antenna can still pick it up.

     

    When I go to NYC for work from Syracuse, there are only two spots where there is a local radio station with enough power to drown out my PnP. One is while crossing the Tappen Zee Bridge, the other is along 495/LIE on Long Island, somewhere around exit 55.

  10. Yeah, drive-ins are pretty cool; it's sad that there aren't many left in the country :(

     

    If you're in Minnesota, here's the theater:

    It's right off of I-94 in Lake Elmo (just east of Woodbury).

     

    You can even bing a Weber grill and tailgate before the movies which is pretty cool. ;)

    There's two within an easy drive from Syracuse....

     

    Midway Drive In, between Oswego and Fulton. $6/adult on the weekends will get you three movies.

     

    West Rome Drive In, with two screens.

  11. One other thing from WotW that made no sense:

     

    MINOR SPOILER ALERT

    ...

    ...

    When the aliens are shooting down the EMP pulses, shutting down all the electronics in the city...  First, Tom Cruise's wristwatch stopped working (it didn't look electronic to me).  Second, every single car in the city stopped (trying to tell me there were no cars from the 80s in the city?).  And third (and most blatant), some guy was using his video camera to record the Striders (aka: tripods)!  How the hell was his camcorder working?!?!

     

    Oh well...

    I noticed that myself. And how about the TV crew he encounters? They were showing him footage they shot, but they shouldn't have been able to even get that footage.
