Holy crap......
Commented on Quincy "punk episode"
@Valis Yeah, in the 80s I hardly knew anyone who was "punk," but knew tons of people into hardcore. In the scene I was in there wasn't a lot of crossover. H/C kids called pretty much anyone who looked punk...

Commented on Free papercraft game-terrain
@ error 404: You're talking about video game crates? I agree, there seem to be many more crates in computer games than could possibly be found in a crate factory perhaps? Would look cool in a tabletop game though....
Commented on Free papercraft game-terrain
This is awesome. For reals. I'm so glad I didn't add "papercraft" to my RSS delete rule, currently consisting of "steampunk," "handsome watch," and "Web Zen." Cory must have a little gamer in him (figuratively speaking, of course), b/c he...

Commented on CoolMiniOrNot: HotOrNot site for sculpted, painted miniatures
I bought CMON's pdf compendium of their help section. Some good stuff in there. @STEFAN: I can't completely hold the pre-made stuff against people. True, for me, that I spend *way* more time painting than playing, and enjoy it. But...
Commented on CoolMiniOrNot: HotOrNot site for sculpted, painted miniatures
I'm a hopeless WH40k geek and this site is like porn for me: endlessly fascinating, yet depressing b/c I know my minis will never look this good. OTOH, some of it really sucks and is a big ego boost for...
Commented on MTV declares music industry "broken" -- and backs it up
I think it's great that concert promoters are finally addressing the problem of the housing-challenged not being able to see Madonna in concert. Bravo Madonna! I just wished they weren't referred to as "bums."...

Commented on Excellent liquor store name of the day
The name sorta makes sense as, IIRC, a bunghole is the hole on the side of a barrel that you would stick the tap into after knocking the plug out. So, gross, but etymologically speaking, in context. Why do I...

emilydickinsonridesabmx commented on Spray Paint The Walls: The Story of Black Flag
This looks great. I really enjoyed 'Get in the Van', which is Rollins take on being in Black Flag, but this should be great because Dukowski will give his side of things. The one thing I won't ever forgive my Mom for is preventing me from seeing Black Flag when I was a kid. Granted I was 12, but still......
mindysan33 commented on Spray Paint The Walls: The Story of Black Flag
(putting on my punk historian hat) Hi Lesbianjesus and Otterson: I have to argue for the importance of BF, here, though I agree, they aren't the only important, but I think that the HC cohort is incredibly important over all, historically. I think that the SoCal bands, specifically, the OC bands were instrumental, (along with the San Fran. scene, yes, of course) in helping to create the recognizable structures in the 80s (zines, tape trading, indie labels, touring - you have to admit for touring, BF was amazing - few bands toured more extensively from the West Coast scenes; in...
octopod commented on Spray Paint The Walls: The Story of Black Flag
>but what about the music? ..and the law suits over royalties. prefer X or Wall of Voodoo as bands, liked the black flag spoken word stuff, "ppl live and die in these apartment compartments" can't remember the name. the ramones were just a pig headed belief that they just had to keep playing the same thing and somehow magically they'd get rich....
Xopher commented on Spray Paint The Walls: The Story of Black Flag
But I can say without a doubt, he'd still f*** your brains out and still have energy, stamina, and endurance to climb a mountain. From your lips to the gods' ears! But I think the guy is straight, alas for me and all my gay brothers....
