Thank God for rowdy chicks… and beer…
Any Chicago rocker from the 70s remembers fondly Off Broadway (USA) and their 1979 hit “Full Moon Turn My Head Around” I have the single! Yes, I bought 45s even at age 22. I was broke, okay? Great rocker and I guess they still play now and then. A friend of mine saw them at a bar and said their light show consisted of a light bulb hanging above the singer’s head. Cool. But, only two albums and they fizzled. Such is life.
More Rocky (less Bullwinkle) on Monday as the band gets ready for their first gig.
Three times a week next week… unless my house blows up or something… 🙂
EDIT: I don’t like to point things out as much as I use to, but notice Jeff’s license plate? THC is Tetrahydrocannabinol, the main psychoactive substance found in the Cannabis plant. Dude… no one got that? If you don’t know what 420 is, go to Wikipedia.
😀
Silly boys, that’s a Full Moon.
Some would argue its a New Moon, but they would be wrong.
(*Former Astronomy Major*)
Ugh! I hated Astronomy! I absolutely couldn’t stay awake for it at all. (Of course, we only had the normal, boring old rock moon to look at.)
BTW, super-gratz on your interview and your reviews! Well damn done! 😀
Maybe the boys are arguing how she got her butt so smooth? 😉
Why are you discussing astronomy when there there are exposed buttocks.. Good God man!
Lucas came up with an explanation for the Kessel run. (Which though obviously cobbled together post-facto, actually made a certain kind of sense.) Basically, the idea was that the run took you through a particularly hazardous part of space, lots of radiation or something like that. If your ship was slow, then you’d have to take the long way around. “I did the Kessel run in 16 parsecs.” was the T-shirt you’d buy from a cruise liner, while running it in 12 meant you either had an incredibly fast ship, or you were suicidally brave. Or both.
I still don’t believe that he had that in mind at the time, and I think that Lucas simply made it up when someone finally explained to him what a parsec was. But I learned it from Star Trek. The only thing I ever learned from Astronomy was how to sleep sitting up.
there was a Dark Horse comic that explained the Kessel Run when Han and Chewy go back to the Mines of Kessel. Kessel is this Massive asteroid field that they do mining and smugglers move fenced items through there all the time. Well the empire decided to surround the place with star destroyers, etc. So the only way to get out is to either go the long way or have a super fast ship. My memory might be faulty but that’s what I remember.
Also I just barely got a chance to see the comic so you were a little fast with the edit to the comments. Also I like the 4/20 National Pot Smokers day also the police code for arresting pot smokers. “I was at the party, but I didn’t inhale.”
on the kessel run, there’s some black hole, the further from it you travel, the saver the route, but also the longer. a shorter distance refers to passing this black hole thing in a smaller angle, thus less distance on the total route. he might have very well made that up later on 🙂
but then… all these facts… just watch the moon and enjoy.
Re: Tanap: I don’t mind admitting I was at the party, and inhaled A LOT.
Byron: Scott Kurtz of PvPOnline fame sold (sells?) a shirt that reads
Han Shot First. I have seen this shirt on characters in several webcomics.
RE: Byron: Never read that book, just going off of something I had read. Also cool about the info, it always helps to have all the facts.
Re: Brett: Cool, so that was you over in the corner. Never smoked myself, but I have been contact high a few times. I was trying for that famous comment by Prez Bill.
Who waxed the car?
🙂
I had my own band just forming around then. “Stay in Time” was the only single I ever recall hearing on WLS, etc., but we played it and Full Moon too. Cliff Johnson was a piece of work, as was their guitar player.
When I went to Purdue, I tracked him down & wrote a letter – I think he was in Madson, WI. The band had cracked and I wanted him to form a new one that included me (and my numerous credits of 1980!).
I never did get a reply… so I graduated instead.
I think I took the wrong path.
