Nah it's the fuckin best when you're at a theme park and nobody is there because it just rained or whatever and you get to go on rides like 20 times in a row :getin:

Closing day at Knott's Berry Farm/Paramount's Great America 1996 or '97 was a ghost town. My Mom won some money in a raffle and my brother and I must have gone on Top Gun 10 times at least as well as various other coasters.



They also had some props from Star Trek: TNG which looked pretty shabby compared to how they were on screen but still cool.

Apparently Top Gun now has the generic name Flight Deck since the park changed hands.

In addition, way back at the dawn of DVDs, not every disk went to the menu when you put it in- some of them would go straight into the movie and you had to press the menu button on the remote if you wanted to do anything other than watch it straight through from the beginning. So the box had to tell people used to VHS that all those fancy menus existed and that they should go play with them and feel like they were getting their money's worth.

I just checked my copy of Blade Runner (one of the first DVDs ever released) and not only does it list the menus as a special feature, but also chapter select :stare:

I was trying to think of the only DVD I've ever bought that would play after being inserted and I think this is the one.

I love that movie and that release and I'm pissed that my brother borrowed it and hasn't returned it.

Do you know that he didn't know anything about Hulk Hogan or are you just assuming that Australians in general don't? Because we get WWE on TV and I think Hulk Hogan is probably as well-known here as in America (which is to say less so now than in the '90s). I've even seen Suburban Commando on TV.



quote:

A very green rookie wrestler named Hulk Hogan toured Japan several times with Andre and witnessed the Giant’s alcohol consumption first hand. According to Hogan, Andre drank, at a minimum, a case of tall boys during each bus ride. When he finished a can Andre would belch, crush the can in his dinner-platter-sized hand, and bounce the empty off the back of Hogan’s head. Hogan learned to count each thunk, so he could anticipate when Andre was running low. Whenever the bus stopped, it was Hogan’s job to scamper off to the nearest store, buy as many cases of beer as he could carry, and make it back before the bus departed, a sight that never failed to make Andre roar his bassoon-like laugh.

I will never get tired of this story.

I always imagine a hedge-trimmer-esque blade that protrudes from the side of the car. It cuts through most manner of plant life, but I have to "lift it" for large trees, telephone polls, guard rails, and building that are too close to the road.

Route sounds like Root.
Root means penetrative sexual intercourse.
Bad means poor or unfulfilling.

So the sign is saying that to travel down that road is the equivalent of an unfulfilling sexual experience.

But on the plus side, there is a rest stop.

Route (as in the song Get Your Kicks on Route 66) is pronounced 'root' in much of the US as well.
