I really do laugh out loud every time someone posts that. What show or movie is that from?
Unless things have changed, the clubs in Va. Beach would only allow the dancers to strip down to a bikini. Not even pasties and thongs.

No pictures, but I'm sure my Dad does. Many memories of swimming in that pool and eating burgers in the clubhouse.
The last golf pro, Chad, is now in Abbeville.
Stan Brundy Function - Lafayette band in the late 80's early 90's. The lead guitarist was originally in another area band called Joker. He rejoined Joker when the other four guys headed to Los Angeles. I guess they didn't "make it" as I've seen the drummer around town working as a carpenter.

Well now we know you’re lying. You’re such an attention ho you’d be screaming from the heavens about doing an Ironman.
Not sure what a gatekeeper is, and I couldn’t care less about what races you do. If you’re proud of yourself for slogging through a 12+ hour Ironman, more power to you.

I just did an Ironman

No, you didn’t. You did a half ironman.

Gym I work out at just got bought out and converting to PF.


You're such a lying chode. Just a few weeks ago you said that because of your "executive" status you were able to work out in the company gym.

Your company gym was bought out by PF?

Anybody know the story on them?


They are still putting out music. One of the founding members, and a prominent voice in the band, was fired in 2011.
"Outside Looking In" is their best known release, which is what they were touring in support of when they opened for U2.
They have a live album, "Joe Dirt Car", that I really like.

We sat behind the stage and it turned out to be great.


We sat behind the stage as well. Was an incredible show. Both U2 and the BoDeans were money that night. Still get chills when I remember the crowd singing "40" after the band had left the stage. Awesome night of music!

I'm in the exact position as you with our youngest. I haven't been in the car market for a while and the price of used vehicles has me reeling.
I thought I could find a nice single cab pickup for around 6 - 8k but that is a pipe dream.
Thus far i've been scouring autotrader.com, cargurus.com, carmax, and just getting word out to friends/family that I'm looking if they see anything.
Good luck in your search.

Does the DC rating exist? They had merged all DC's into the HT rating back in the mid 2000's.

re: Who saw Ozzy in concert?

Ozzfest 2002

Main stage

Ozzy Osbourne
System of a Down
Rob Zombie
P.O.D.
Drowning Pool (cancelled on August 14 after death of lead singer Dave Williams)
Adema
Black Label Society
Tommy Lee (started August 22)

Things I remember. Tommy Lee is a horrible "singer". Rob Zombie and System of a Down put on an incredible show. I was never a huge Ozzy solo fan but appreciated his showmanship. Zack Wylde had some incredible stamina to play two sets in one night; night after night.
