Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[GonePlaid]

Fortunately much of my life has not been videotaped....

I will say tho that when I opened another can o' Pepsi (outdoors this time!) after it resided in the fridge for a day, it just fizzed a small bit out of the can. -NBD, and it appears the Pepsi bombs have voluntarily disarmed! ~~

Apparently the cans hold heat better than cold.

Anyone remember "Foster's. Australian for beer."? In the 24 oz oil cans? That I never saw anywhere once during the 3 trips I made down-under? That was able to put "Import" on the label, since it was made in Calgary, Alberta?

Yeah, that one.

A couple of college buddies and I liked to take my '61 Caddy up to northern Wisconsin on the weekends. We had a favorite pit stop around Stevens Point. We usually grabbed sixers of our fav at the moment, but one guy decides he's gotta give that Aussie beer a try. When we got in the car, he popped the tab...and shot at least half the contents all over my roof liner. It took some work to get that smell out of the car. Would have been bad juju at any traffic stop.
But there was an upside. We went back inside to buy another oil can and told the owner what happened. Instead of laughing at us (which would have been entirely appropriate), he apologized and comped us the replacement!
Just another reason to love that pit stop!

Sorry, but I laughed at that!

Back in good ol’ high school days, some number of us were riding around one night drinking beer when we passed a house that was obviously having a party, to judge by the number of cars outside. We spied the VW bus of an individual we all despised and went into attack posture: lights cut, ease to the curb up the block, dispatch a scout. “It’s unlocked,” he said upon his return. What to do? We drove around for another ten minutes or so, shaking up a beer all the while. Back to the scene, dispatch a sapper to place the beer in the bus. As we were used to covert operations, mum was the word all weekend. Monday morning at school reveals that a good friend had been given a ride to the party by Despised Guy. Friend says Despised Guy sees the beer sitting there oh-so-innocently and pops it even before putting the key in the ignition. Friend was only partially in the bus and was spared a lot of the wetting. Not so Despised Guy and his father’s VW. Friend said Despised Guy spent much of the weekend trying to get the smell out to his father’s satisfaction but wasn’t successful. Chuckle.

I just own it. It's too obvious when it happens especially a dropped note - all eyes turn my direction.

Much later in their career, long after Jan's car accident in '66, Jan & Dean were playing a gig at a casino in northwest Indiana. Road trip! When Jan would mess up a lyric, the drummer would clang a cowbell and everyone would laugh. He handled it great. What a guy!

There's a recording of our band playing a tune* I've played literally hundreds of times. I musta been daydreaming er sumpin'. I was absolutely lost. Oh. well, I caught up on the repeat.

*Theme from "Black Orpheus"("A Day in the Life of a Fool", "Manha de Carnaval")

A McCartney song

No Autotune? I'm amazed!

Nicely done.

Even though you can play a song in your sleep. Sometimes you get distracted by some antics out front. You can get lost or pulled out of time.

In multiple ways!

Never heard ‘em called antics before.

Oh, I was in time. And I was playing some interesting changes. Not right, but interesting.

 

[GonePlaid]

Nope. No antics. I was experiencing a temporary recto-cranial inversion.

So, totally off topic, I have 3 sports teams* currently in action that I root for-all 3 lost tonight. Crap!

*Miami Marlins, Tampa Bay Rays, and Las Vegas Golden Knights

I've played that tune hundreds of times myself, it was one of the initial three tunes I was told to learn before I'd be welcome at the local jazz jams in the mid-70s. If I don't put the chart in front of my face I'm still perfectly capable of doing the Low Rider jazz oddysey (sic) thing though: "take a little trip..."

Yeah that was one I was asked to play 'cold'(no chart). By second chorus I had it down. I'm not fancy(i.e. Jaco), but I pick [stuff] up quick(ly).

I've seen some very odd arrangements called for that one, it actually works great with a disco feel fer instance. Great tune, I never get tired of playing it.
