Saturday Night Off-season Open Thread 21: Watch AFL!

old guy meme.jpg

Seriously, if you’re upset about the lack of sports this time of year, you absolutely need to be watching the AFL and the CFL. There’s no excuse.

Today’s topic is “shit we had/did when I was growing up that kids today will never have.”

People today see that picture and think, “why hasn’t the city fixed that???” I look at it and think, “where’s my bike?” If I couldn’t get air over that vault, I’d consider myself a failure.

If you had balls, you would attempt a flip. If you had stones, you would attempt a BACK flip.

Short shorts, tube socks, and half shirts. I used to ROCK a Semi-Tough half shirt!

Golf Update

My local club has a summer-long single elimination Match Play tournament. My first match was on Thursday afternoon. I took the afternoon off work and so did my opponent.

The match was scheduled for 9 holes with handicaps being utilized. Since I’m a 30 and opponent is a 26, I got a stroke advantage on three holes.

On the Par 4 first hole, we both got off to a rough start with 7s. However, this was one of the holes I got an advantage on, so I won the hole. I got a par on the second, third, and fourth holes, so I beat my opponent straight up on those holes.

I was 4 up going into the Par 3 Fifth. My opponent got a 4 and I had a five foot putt to tie him, but I missed it and he clawed one back. Then, in the Par 5 Sixth, I hit a clean drive, a brilliant second shot, and got on the fringe in three. He finished with a seven and I tapped in for a 6 and the win.

I will find out next week who my new opponent is. I’ll keep you posted on how I do.

As one of our brilliant commentists, fleshwound_NPG, put it perfectly: Biden is about to get Khrushchev’ed. It’s just a matter of when, not if.

On the other side, Trump apparently embarrassed himself further (as if that was actually possible) during his rambling speech at the RNC. It is clear neither of these two should be president.

If Biden steps away, as is widely expected, who will take over on the Democratic side? I say anyone but Kamala. My personal thought is that the Governor of Michigan has the best shot at winning. What say you?

Today, some of the SoCal DFO crew got together for some AM drinking at Joe Jost in Long Beach.

I met up with the illustrious Brick Meathook and the equally talented (though in different fields) Yeah Right. A good time was had and multiple schooners of beer, root beer (on tap!), bags of home-roasted peanuts, and Joe’s Specials were consumed.

I really liked the place. I commented to the boys that it was a lot of people OUR age. Yeah Right added that they were all OUR skin color too, which was interesting. There was lots of Milfy goodness around, which made for nice scenery. We’ll have to go back…

Please note there are no Arsenal flags…

When the current Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum on the National Mall opened in 1976, the Apollo 11 command module was the centerpiece in the main area as you entered. It was encased in form-fitting plexiglass shell for protection, because you could get right up to it and peer inside through the open hatchway.

Two years ago I went to the large NASM Udder-hazy annex near Dulles Airport (I go there frequently when I’m back east) and this was while the Mall museum was undergoing extensive repairs and reconstruction.

What did I find just sitting on the main floor at Udder-Hazy, protected only by temporary barriers and the watchful eye of a security guard? The Apollo 11 command module, arguably one of the most historic flying vehicles ever, just sitting there on a roller carriage:

Give it four years..

Brick Meathook

It was only sitting there that one visit. It was gone the next time I was there, and is probably back down in the museum on The Mall. On my previous visit to Udvar-Hazy Chuck Yeager’s Bell X-1 (that broke the sound barrier) was sitting there in the exact same spot, also just with portable barriers. That aircraft is also normally displayed on The Mall museum, so I guess they were rotating them while the main Mall museum was being reconstructed.

Speaking of things kids today will never have, here are “monkey bars” that were a playground staple. And yes you could (and kids did) fall off these things and get hurt pretty badly. All our playground gear was designed to toughen us up and weed out the weaklings.

My brother and I once leaped off the carousel at Lake Compounce, (Bristol, CT), pre-current version and both, somehow, executed perfect drop-and-roll landings while parents gasped in horror. I think we were 13 and 11.

Brick Meathook

Hah! I just posted that!

Doktor Zymm

Yes! Those were the best!

Brick Meathook

This little fellow was absolutely demonic. It was spun by hand, and it could reach some substantial RPMs. The way it usually worked was the younger kids (age 8-11) would get on it and brace themselves, while 3 or 4 older kids (age 11-14) would stand around it and spin that fucking thing like “Wheel of Fortune,” except this could reach speeds of probably 100 RPM. If you were a younger kid you better try to stay near the center because if you started moving towards the outer edge there was no way you were holding on and you would be flung off that thing and land ten feet away.

I have no idea why they got rid of these things.

Great topic Buddy. Allows me to get out there on the front lawn and hollar at the world some.

Simple interaction without technology. Only thing you may have gotten was a landline phone number, that could only be used sparingly. Funny but I was thinking the other day, after seeing an old picture, of a girl I got chased away from by her Dad who answered the phone and was pissed off at me for calling after eight in the evening I think it was.

You normally made plans face to face. I saw something on a friend’s feed that illustrated it perfectly. If the movie The Breakfast Club were made today, it would be a silent film about five kids looking at thier phones.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, but I have very clear memories of my parents’ generation being exasperated at us for talking on the phone, playing video games, and watching tv .. oh wait, I’m sorry, “the idiot box.”

Anything that’s invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it. Anything invented after you’re thirty-five is against the natural order of things.

Oh sure. And there was a gender difference too, I noted. When I talked to girls, they would be happy talking for hours. (And who can blame them, I am witty and delightful.) But with my guy friends, it’s all business — what are we doing, where are we going, who’s getting the booze?

Horatio Cornblower

Last week I went up to Boston (OK, Somerville; apparently both towns feel like there’s a difference) (there is no difference), to see a punk band, The Taxpayers, doing a reunion tour. A few things:

Item the first: If it’s a reunion I expect to see a band that didn’t form when I was 38. That’s frankly hurtful.

Item the second: It was an all ages show. It would have been nice to have not been in the Top 5 of the oldest people there, but alas, twas not to be.

Item the third: This band is very much “all people/genders/identities are welcome” and I’m cool with that but people, when I walk in and am immediately the most masculine person in the entire room, even with my very recent pedicure and clear-coated toenails, we need to have a discussion.

Item the fourth: The Taxpayers do a sliding scale on merchandise, (very cool), asking people to pay what they can afford on posters, etc. I paid the max for a T-shirt and poster, because I remember my teenage punk years and what $50 would mean to a band like this. The kids at these shows may look at me as a middle-aged attorney sell-out but please keep in mind not only do we vote largely the same way, but politicians return my calls and I’m the reason the band you’re cheering on is going to have bread for their sandwiches tonight.

Item the fifth: When did kids stop showering? I get it, I’m old. I’m not sure when having a beard and nice tits became a thing, or being 6’0″ with broad shoulders and a stunning A-line black dress did the same, but I’m cool with it. What I’m not cool with is the entire room smelling like my high school locker room after gym class. Soap and hot water is not uncool you little shits, and the sooner you realize that the better for all of us.

Item the sixth: This song kicks all kinds of ass and deserve so much more attention than it gets. The Taxpayers were very hit or miss for me, (love their attitude, though), but they have 3-4 really good songs, and this one is just an absolute banger. They should get rich off this one, but won’t because some AI-generated piece of shit will.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcDXpTa3g-U

Anyway, very long story longer, go give The Taxpayers money.

Mr. Ayo

This is some high quality ranting

Horatio Cornblower

I really just want people to give The Taxpayers money.

And for Gen Z, or whateverthefuck, to start bathing.

WCS

Okay, Boomer…

Actually, the odor thing is something I’ve noticed, too. I thought maybe it was just because the kids at Lil’ & Lil’er WCS’s school are kids, and kids are smelly and horrible things.

HOWEVAH, it’s not just stoopid kids. I work with a disturbing amount of people my age (42) or younger, and the younger ones definitely missed that speech from mom and dad about the benefits of hygiene and laundry.

Doktor Zymm

Could be they’re using that scammy ‘all-natural’ deodorant that does fuck all and is made from crystals or some shit

WCS

What’s interesting (perhaps that’s not that correct word, but I digress), is this is a newer thing. I never really noticed this when I was teaching. Sure, some students needed a change of undies or missed a shower or three, but those were the exceptions to the rules.

Maybe it’s a post-COVID thing? It took everyone under 40 sense of smell?

Doktor Zymm

Could be? Or they just forgot how going out and interacting with people is supposed to work?

Horatio Cornblower

Huge part of it. HUGE.

Which, to be fair

comment image

is overall not limited to the younger set. Lack of hygiene might be their thing, but ever since Covid the ability to interact with people of what might be called “a civilized basis” has absolutely gone to shit.

I think — and this is where I get into grumpy old man mode — that this is where the mostly-ok-though-I-have-reservations trend towards informality in clothes, etc. has gone too far.

Like, I know DFO is the land of no pants, but I roll my eyes at grown men who act like five year olds if they have to wear something other than jeans and a ratty t shirt. But fine, whatever. It’s the “and washing myself is bullshit too” attitude that is a bridge too far!

Horatio Cornblower

Wearing sweats and PJs while in the comfort of your own home whilst commenting on a dick-joke and football, (amongst many other things), is a God-given right just like being able to accumulate as many machine guns and cop-killing bullets as one might like, but motherfucker if you take that shit out into a grocery store or bank I will absolutely hit you as hard as I can in the back of the head.

blaxabbath

Just use hygiene to your advantage and continue to defeat them until they meet your standard.

Welcome to the jungle, kids.

Horatio Cornblower

It’s definitely a new thing. The guy I went with is a college professor.

Yes, that’s how old I am: my punk rock friend is a tenured professor at an accredited university.

Anyhoo, he says that not only is the gender-fluidity thing all over the place, (again, don’t care but you look stupid), but kids today, (removes crabgrass from lawn with tweezers, calls police because a kid with a tan pedaled past house on a Schwinn), simply aren’t as down with the hygiene as we were back in the early 90’s.

Brick Meathook

That’s because during their youth the monkey bars had been taken away and they were never properly seasoned.

Yeah that stuff is worthless. Bring on the chemicals Baby.

Horatio Cornblower

I expect the Boomer thing because I showed up for the show in cargo shorts and a T-shirt from Key West, (fun fact, The Taxpayers had a Jimmy Buffet poster up for their whole show), but that odor transcends generations.

I don’t care how edgy you think you are, if you smell like you slept in your cat’s litter box no one is gonna take you seriously. Soap is cheap. 5 minutes of hot water will not break your budget. FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST USE BOTH!!!

Doktor Zymm

None of the other generations think enough about gen x to have opinions about them. And you can say Okay Boomer to people of any age when they are embodying the spirit of bitching about the times being achangin

2Pack

I consider hey Boomer a compliment.

Horatio Cornblower

I have had this discussion with my Millenial offspring on more than one occasion.

I am very clearly Gen X. Their Grandparents are Boomers. There is a difference.

This was the same for me until my oldest hit a growth spurt and started doing jiu jitsu.

So the show was some real funk… but it wasn’t a Funk band…

Horatio Cornblower

They’ve actually got a heavy New Orleans funk/jazz influence. They had a guy going bug-shit nuts on the trumpet and by Xenu it worked.

They’re a very interesting band. Not gonna say they’re my favorite but they’ll take chances, are very cool, and I respect the hell out of both.
