@92BuickLeSabre: Your phone is ringing. Hello? Who is this? HELLO???


Your phone is ringing. Reply


Image of 92BuickLeSabre 92BuickLeSabre 03/20/09

@crashedpc: Anyway, as I was saying before the phone rang, it was like 1992 or so. You've never seen so many people in one place. You would have thought the president had come, who at the time was still George Bush the father. Not the son. I really was never to keen on the son. So anyway, George Bush the father, now if I remember correctly he had been played on Saturday Night Live by Dina Carvey, or Diana Carvey...or was it Harvey? No, it was definitely a woman's name. It's always confused me why people give women's names to male children. I mean, why do that? I remember as a kid on the playground, there was a young girl named Jonathan. Like Jonathan Swift. I remember her pretty well because I kissed her on the back just before we heard about the Space Shuttle disaster. Now you're too young to remember that, but let me tell you, at the time, well, you know how everyone says they remember where they were when they heard JFK was shot? You don't? Well, it was like that. Of course I mean the actual JFK, not the movie JFK. You never heard of that either? You know Oliver Stone? Speaking of stones, my kidney's are killing me. So, now what was I talking about? And why are you on my lawn again?


Lawn! That's the word I was looking for! I knew it would come to me eventually! Reply

@crashedpc: You're still better off than that time I partied with The Cars and Eddie Rabbit. It must have been the early 80's because The Cars were hitting their stride, but Eddie, well Eddie was still relevant. And alive. That was important... Reply

@92BuickLeSabre: In the early 80's I was either not born or 2 years old. *points* OLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLD Reply

I mean, who brings an 8 year old to a party like that anyway? Reply

@92BuickLeSabre: It must have been the poor decision of a major car company's CEO. Reply

@92BuickLeSabre: At the end of the day though, it's all good you know. I could have been somebody, but...I mean it's like...whatevs, I'm just doin' the whole know better words 'n shit instead.


No problemo. Peace out! Reply

Yessir, I 'member thet durn shuttle dee-zaster. I wuz in the High School back then. Folks were all up in arms about this new-fangled "Rapping" type of music, damn Russkies. Shure done put all our fussin' and a feudin' into perspective...They blew up a schoolteacher, y'know.

@crashedpc: Screw that newbie candylike swill. Buffalo Trace is okay, I suppose. get Evan Williams, the straight or the Single Barrel are both mighty fine, been around longer than Jack Daniels.

Boy, if'n I ever catch you drinking Jack, you'll see the back a' my hand, y'unnerstan'?

Punk kid.

But honestly, I like me a cheap but honest rye: Pikesville or Old Overholt.
