I do miss the old mom and pop music stores. Going to a place like The Compact Disc Store on Jefferson or Paradise by LSU and talking to the clerks about what new , getting suggestions, sampling tracks with folks in the store. Shopping back then for lots of things was enjoyable b/c the mom and pop stores were actually interested in the stuff they were selling.

Did yall have a Media Play? In Kennesaw we had a Media Play. It was a big box record store but you could pull any CD off the shelf and listen to it in your own private cubicle-like thing before buying. I had a friend that would get high then go there and just loiter for hours listening to different CD's.

Hope a few of you baws can answer my question on the Movie Board @ Blockbuster

I would argue that a homeless person today lives better than someone who has to work and makes 250k


Basically welfare and food stamps pays about 250k a year and you don’t have to go to work

Please look up for yourself "welfare and food stamps" and see how very far from $250,000 per year it actually is.

You’re right it probably costs more than that to eat steak and crab legs every day

o this day I still haven't watched that movie.

I've seen enough through osmosis to pretty much know it, but I have never sat down and actually watched it. I likelg never will.

Saw it at the theater with my girlfriend and had the worst gas imaginable throughout the entire movie (crawfish boil onions). I laughed the whole time. Great memory.
