Why do we do it?

If cockholster ever becomes Not Funny, something has gone horribly wrong!

And I too like all boobies!

[Norm]

I have decided that, after reading this thread, that green and wrinkly boobies may have just made the "eewww" list...

I guess that means in some strange cosmic way, I have become famous.

I suppose so.

I must admit to never having considered the idea of green and wrinkly boobies until that tool Tim mentioned it. Now it's like hearing Feliz Navidad at Christmas, I just can't get it out of my head. Damn you Tim!

[TimPlayBass]

Sorry y'all.. It was like "boobies" + "yoda" = "green wrinkly boobies"... It just kind of went together, though in kind of a grape jam with salmon kind of way.

For the record, I love boobies very much, and I'm udderly sure that no forum members have wrinkly green boobies.

All week, waitresses, veal, etc.

Oh, now you've done it. I guess I could deal with the Yoda thing. Then Jade makes adds the human connection...

The best one I've heard lately is "flapjack titties." NARRSTY!

Now as for corporate metal.

We agree!
I think it's hilariously funny that (mostly) all the metal bands in the 80s dismissed punk like it never happened, then suddenly there were long-haired douchebags running around with Misfits t-shirts everywhere you looked...mainly because Metallica covered them. Poorly.

You remember this happening, Honk? The only time metalhead dudes came to punk/hardcore gigs in the mid-80s was to fuck with the bands and the people there. A few years later the same metalhead dudes were singing the praises of the Dead Kennedys and Black Flag. Once the hardcore stuff became more "overground", you saw these people jump on the bandwagon.

Well now, let's be fair. You already said learning about music was about taking chances. In the 80s there were no Myspace pages, Youtube, etc where you could preview something you were curious about. It was all word of cockholster or just taking a leap of faith at Sunburst and buying something because the cover looked cool (boy was I burned a few times buying music based on covers, Lizzy Borden comes to mind). I didn't know ANYONE at Stone Middle School who liked punk or could even name 3 punk bands. Punk is music middle-class suburban kids seem to dig on and it took awhile for us kids from blue-collar families to find. Everyone at Stone was digging Run DMC, Doug E Fresh, Kiss, Motley Crue, or if you really ventured out you listened to the underground metal of the day like Metallica, Anthrax, or maybe Venom if you dared. We'd sit in class checking out Hit Parader and Circus when we were supposed to be studying. I discovered I liked many bands on labels like Combat, Megaforce, and Metal Blade and would buy albums by bands I wasn't familiar with on a leap of faith. Later I would do the same thing with Dischord, SST, Sub Pop, K, Matador, etc. But I didn't have a clue who Minor Threat, Black Flag, Minutemen, or those guys were until I got to high school at Butler and met punk kids like Larry Horgan who copied tapes for me of of everything from Minor Threat and Bad Brains to Sonic Youth. And you know what, Larry listened to metal too. He's still a big Celtic Frost and Slayer fan.

And yeah, I'll admit. I discovered the Misfits because I saw Cliff Burton wearing one of their t-shirts in Hit Parader or some other metal mag. And I had a mullet and a denim jacket with a huge Anthrax patch on the back. So what? So I wouldn't say I "jumped on the punk bandwagon" to be cool or whatever. I just couldn't appreciate it until I had the opportunity to be exposed to it. So I became a huge punk fan as well and pretty much shunned metal for many years because my punk friends thought metal was ghey. But I've gone back and dug up most of the old metal stuff I liked as a kid and discovered I still really like old Motley Crue, Metallica, Anthrax, and even Guns n Roses (first album only), etc. Nearing my 40s I don't have to worry about what the punk "kids" will say if I get caught listening to old Anthrax anymore. And I don't have to worry about the metalheads laughing at me for jamming to Minor Threat. Fuck 'em all...

To top it all off, I was a football and baseball playin' jock. I even made All-City as a running back my senior year! gasp... I'm quite certain I was the last white running back at Butler.

By the way Honk, I was a big fan of Coud d'etat and Oreo as well. Didn't realize you had played in those bands. Still have a third or fourth generation cassette around here somewhere of a live Oreo gig that Larry gave me back in high school. Also, I just posted this pic on my Facebook page the other day. It's a random picture of my bedroom wall in high school circa 1989 or 90. The huge Anthrax banner and poster is obvious enough. But if you look closely there's also a gig flyer hanging to the top left. It has Random Conflict, Positive Faction, and somebody else I can't make out.



Wow! This post really turned into an autobiography quick!

That was me at Mt. Gap! Lol. I was also listening to the Pistols and The Clash and Black Flag, etc. I had the benefit of an older brother into that stuff and had just returned from a year in England. Believe me the few of us at Grissom that actually LIKED punk, skated and looked the part were constantly harassed by the "super" jocks. And yes, them.

I was still into Metallica and most of my friends were still big metal heads.
I saw many metal bands at the VBC. I just lost my taste for most of it after discovering punk, ska and funk and rockabilly.

I'd like to see that photo! I wish I had all my old recordings...
We did a recording at Calhoun for Positive Faction. Later we overdubbed a pirated copy of a US jet fighter shooting down an Iraqi flown Russian Mig (First Gulf War). It was soooo cheesy. Mmmm Mmmm good.

Speaking of the days of yore.
My first introduction to MK was him playing drums for The Dead Pigeons (I think) at the Monte Sano amphitheater. It was raining and he left his drums out to get wet. SOOOO phucking PUNK!!!

Now he just visits the Monte Sano overlook for fun.

That photo isn't visible? Hmm...

Anyway, I think I have the PF demo somewhere too. All my old demo cassettes are at our band's jam room now. I'll be by there later and I'll dig in there and see if I can find that one. Of course, David Baird put all that stuff up on the Peer Pressure Productions Myspace page as well. That page is endlessly fascinating by the way.

I can't see the photo here at work, it came in as a tiny white square.
