OK, GUYS, LET'S S ROLL!!
I thought Maybe a good way to begin tonight's discussions would be for us to share about some of the best pranks and jokes that we either played on someone,(or someone played on us) when we were younger(or nowadays, for that matter)
Also, we could share about some of the crazy things we used to do, when we were younger(or perhaps still do) that were seen as fun at the time, but look foolhardy to us today.
I'll start things off, and share about one thing I did about 20 years or so ago, when I was 18-19. I would go on little "scenic routes" as I used to call them. (keep in mind that in 1986-87 gas was WAY less than $1.00 a gallon). Now, I did not just drive around aimlessly, but I had a friend named Paul with me. And Paul was a LOT more daring than I!! while I drove, Paul tossed bottles, cans, eggs and fireworks out of the car, mainly at road signs, but also at a few mailboxes. I egged him on, and thought it was a LOT of fun!! Paul conned me into believing that I was not doing anything wrong, since I was "just driving". (I just have to chalk that up to youthful stupidity...) In reality, I would had been the ONLY one to get into trouble had we been caught, because PAUL WAS ON HOUSE ARREST at the time, for a B&E that he and some others had been involved in , AND he was only 17!! SO, had we gotten caught,(and in early '87 we ALMOST did!!) I would had gotten the book thrown at me, for vandalism, littering, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and who knows what else!!
I'll reserve the stories about me messing with gunpowder, acid, gasoline,lighter fluid and fireworks for another time!!! (He....He... He..)
SO... Does anyone else care to share anything(that the statue of limitations has expired on !!) LOL!!

Along with the laserdisc and the DAT, another tape medium that failed was the ELcassette. Remember that one? It looked just like a VCR tape, but was smaller. It had a bigger tape on it than the cassette and a better sound quality. I almost bought one and I'm glad I didn't. No one made tapes for them, or very few. You had to be content to record your own music from your albums and then you needed an ELcassette player for your car too.

I have to show how comedy influences politics--we can use political cartoons, Daily Show, Colbert Report, Chappelle's show, etc.
But I'm sure I can work in a plug or three ;)
The course is "Contemporary Issues in Poltics"

Klipsch makes some gigantic speakers called Klipschorns. They are made to be set into the corner of a room (the backs of them are "V" shaped").
They can go really loud on a little bit of power as they are very efficient speakers. They are also pretty pricey.

Finding tapes is going to be harder than finding the elcaset deck was.
If anyone had ever heard of them I knew it would be you.

DAT took off though for computer backup I am sure that is still what my company use as its main source of backup.

The cell-phone is the worst invention ever.
The person who invented it should be shot, but shooting would be too good for him.

Not babying about it--just can't seem to get any sleep, which in turn drives me absolutely nuts.
And when I go nuts, I just don't function--I seem to act just as bad as Ralph Wiggum on the Simpsons ;)
It's bad enough because I seem to be somewhat of an insomiac as it is. The head cold certainly does me no favors...:|
Right around the 10th.

The mini-disc is doing well, but I don't have one. I'm not getting yet another music medium. I'm sticking with CD's.
The kids all have them.
