Arguments about musicians who get it because those other musicians couldn't possibly get it. Something that transcends all decades.

Who the hell was that guy?

Coming in here and shitting up a great thread like that. Fuck outta here.

[Ted Striker]

I'm kinda amused by him being thought to be both Benny and Altasnob, considering the former is too old to care about this thread, and the latter was in diapers.

[Danno]

I gave y'all a hint a few posts back. And neither Benny nor altasnob would need a new acct, as neither is banned.

[Ted Striker]

Hmmm... if you're talking a little north of Tacoma, that is who my guess would've been.

[BmillsSkier]

Uh oh, was it... the you know what?

[Ted Striker]

Not that far north

[SumJongGuy]

It was Tucker Carlson...

[JimmyCarter]

Carter Page again??

[Danno]

Uh oh, was it... the you know what?

[BmillsSkier]

no

Well, that’s good to know I guess.

Speaking of which, why is it that all decade discussions go straight to music and not food?

Tacoma cuisine in the 90's was probably limited to The Old Spaghetti Factory or hiding from the aroma (and showing off the mullet) in one of those lesser-waterfront bar-style restaurants owned by the two guys. You know, PJ O'Flannigan's or Dufus O'Reilly's. So maybe Ballard. Dick's. Something, anyway.

ETA, nevermind, I see he's banned again. But there's a tip in there for you, suxboy: stick to what you know.

I’ll play.

The 90s were when my folks planted the seeds for a lifelong love of dining and eating well. So many firsts for me, but a few stick out: foie gras, bone marrow and sweetbreads.

I was very lucky to have a family that enjoyed dining out and 4 hour dinners with all of us were more common than not. We were always allowed to join in wine service if we wanted after age 18 and my Dad exposed me to some truly amazing juice, and amazing restaurants, for which I am eternally thankful.

Since I graduated and left for undergrad in the late 90s, it was still a time of unbelievably shitty food choices for me. See the Meximelt thread for evidence thereof. I’m still debating if I want to relive the thrill of eating a TB Mexican Pizza now that it’s apparently back. I think the last time was 97-ish blasted drunk in a blizzard after a 311 concert. It didn’t sit well.

Because a lotta good times all nighters begin with "fuck dinner.. I'm not hungry anymore"..



But they might end at 5am with White Castle or Awful House...

My most memorable foods have always been weird things friends made. In the 80's it was microwaved hot dogs with cheese in a tortilla. For the 90's it came early--in the decade, but also in the morning. An all-night "study" session ended with ramen in seaweed and Philipino broth made by a guy who knew how.

I kinda crave seaweed ramen fortnightly these days. Anything you can eat before 5 am can be good anytime, right?

Maybe the 90's food scene was a bit too dominated by cheapness. TB's $0.39 tostadas lasted pretty long. I realize this undermines my whole premise.

Some things never change. Tonight's dinner (that I'm eating right this minute) consists of my wife's scratch made ramen broth from yesterday, plus stuff I found in the fridge.

Damn that looks good. I've been killing my recent cravings by adding a little coconut cream, almost anything sour and whatever's in the fridge. May be time to get legit.
