https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_shootings_in_the_United_States

The parameters of what's considered a mass shoot have been fluid. The 430 that chart depicts is way on the low end. Current general consensus is 1350ish from 2009 to 2021.

I haven't read this thread... is it "if only there was something we could do about Leroy?"

I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today

Another good one

That's a solid first.

My third was Never Mind the Bollocks, and The Clash eponymous was very likely #4

It was at least a year or two after it was released because I had heard a few of the songs on a cassette tape, but didn't have any way to get to a record store, or even know where one was,...

Gerald Casale was at the Kent State shooting. Devo was art-rock, social comment, comedy, and catchy songs.

Mick Jagger liked their cover of Satisfaction.

Yeah, Spade could very well still be an asshole IRL, but he's toned down on the podcast and their dynamic works. Maybe it's from them both being a little in the shadows of Adam Sandler, Chris Rock...

I've listened to that podcast as well, and it's pretty interesting. To be honest, I've generally found both of them (as comedians) kinda annoying, but they're insightful and likable as themselves.

^^^ carve or DIE!!!

QFT. Skiing was dying. The gear was shit. Ticket sales were waning. Hills were going out of business. It needed a shake up, and snowboarding was it.

I did. But I kept thinking 'this (terrain, snow condition, etc) would be better on skis'.

My parents had an all-killer, no-filler record collection that spanned from before I was born into the early 80s. Full Beatles catalog, Stones, Who, Doors, Byrds, Jefferson Airplane, Beach Boys,...

110! Big doggy

Yeah bad shit for sure. But bad shit happens every decade in this country.

But we did have...
Arrested Development, Always Sunny, South Park, Family Guy, Six Feet Under, Dexter, Curb, Weeds (God...

The (original) Arrested Development was genius.

We need a 00s thread.

And who lived directly across the hall again...?

edit: even accepting the premise that this unlikely group of friends are living lives of leisure in NY, I still didn't connect or sympathize with...

So I just googled it. The 80s came in with a bang.

1980
- Mount St. Helens erupts
- the dingo ate Chamberlain's baby
- Iran Iraq War
- John Lennon killed

1981
- first five aids cases

Yeah

Culturally, I'd say it started with Alex P Keaton. There's a straight line from there to Bud Fox and Gordon Gekko.

The seventies ended November 4, 1980. I came home from school and my mom was in the living room, ironing my dad's shirts in front of the tv, and crying.

There's a making of Seinfeld documentary where they're interviewing Jerry about how when they got the offer for the pilot, he and Larry met to spitball ideas, wandering around New York doing mundane...

Ha! I have never once intentionally watched an episode of Friends. But I learned at a young age, that unless you want a life of celibacy, don't hog the tv remote.

I wasn't released until 1980

Played a lot of Galaga too. In the 90s, I worked at a place that had a two-player Ms Pac Man in our office. Needless to say, not much work got done.

Had to google the timeline: 89-98

I'd seen his standup and although he was good, the material was just glib observations, and petty annoyances. Plus, as you noted, his acting was terrible.

But...

At least he didn't pop the collar.

I want that go away bear

I didn't like Seinfeld when it came out. There. I said it.

What's everybody looking at?!

"PREPARE TO QUALIFY!"

"Good driving, you qualify to race"

Played a lot of Pole Position II at the local arcade

We had one of those Atari consoles. Then my stepdad brought one of these home.

Masks in stores, etc is maybe 1 in 10 here, but per my friends with kids, it's still a solid majority at schools in the city. Out in the county, it's zero for both. 100% political.

SOP at my wife's firm was a junior agent does the open to 1. help them meet potential clients, and 2. possibly keep both sides of the deal in house. That latter point was big, because dual-agency was...

It's literally shaped like Jeff Bezos

Looking at it from the point of view that asking is generally based on comps, and that the conversation goes something like, "the Joneses got 800 for their house" "yes, but ours is nicer", prices...

Oh, I am a dumbass.

When I picture David Cross, it's in Blue Man makeup, but that could just be from seeing bennymac's avatar for so long. If something was funny in the 90s (and beyond) there's a...

White Jag, and ruthlessly mocked by Brit.

Completely agree. Even Living in Darkness is a little basement studio-ish, but at least it sounds a lot more like a live band.

I was riffing on the idea that Mr. Show with Bob and David was a silly name, and that they worked together on lots of shows in the 90s (Ben Stiller Show, News Radio...) and and 00s. Plus if you ask...

The show so good even Joe Rogan couldn't wreck it.

NR trivia: Stephen Root's character is named after Jimi Hendrix

My wife said not enough penis. Musta been cold.

Yeah definitely. ILC, Kids in the Hall, that Bob Odenkirk / David Cross show whatever it was called, Jon Stewart's original show on MTV - although Stewart clearly hadn't honed his online persona, his...

lol @ subtle plague, that's beautiful

In reference to my band in high school, someone stated "you guys are new wave. There's a girl in your band and she plays keyboards. Those are the rules"

You mean The Feederz?

There's a pretty funny thread where someone here had some kind of issue with Gordon Gano irl.

Were you the guy putting "red quarters" in the arcade games?

If you were a regular at the pipeline - especially in the early days - you have for sure met my aunt Jeanne. She was at the park most...
