When James Brown was looking for new guitar players he'd ask if they could play an E chord. Then he'd ask, "for how long?"

What started as a thread about stoner rock / doom has evolved into the life and times of TB's stoner/doom crowd.

Any help is appreciated. Maybe this will be a good place to vent and ask for suggestions for how to deal with this douche.
So retired cop / crazy hoarder kinda guy lives across the street from me. We live on a dead-end street with only on-street parking on both sides of the road. Theres 9 reserved handicap spots, leaving not enough room for all of the residents. On top of that, ex-cop has 3 fullsize vans, a full-bed pickup truck, a Jeep Grand Cherokee, and a crappy Toyota... he only drives the Toyota, the other vehicles are packed full of hoarder garbage and don't move.
Well, some of them move.... 2 of the vans, the truck, and the jeep are in a row. This A-hole will tighten those cars up to park his crappy Toyota there, and when he leaves in the morning, he spaces them out to research himself a spot. So while he takes up around 7-8 spots himself and contributes a ton to the horrendous parking situation, he himself doesn't have to suffer for it, always having a reserved spot.
Yesterday Laz and I heaved a crappy old abandoned motorcycle into his reserved spot to passively aggressively troll his ass. It was a 2-burly-man job, but somehow he got it over across the street so its not hindering him anymore. Trying to think of legal recourse to screw this guy over... all his cars are up to date registrations, and legally he is breaking no laws. Cops agreed with that, and cops agreed that while he's being a huge dick, theres nothing anyone can legally do about it.
Legal suggestions? I dont care if I'm being a blatant a-hole (after all, he's already doing that), so long as its legal, cuz I'm sure he's got his old cop buddies on speed dial.
How could I forget.....
Oh, u know that brand new house they just built? There was a dumpster in front of the new house while it was under construction, and I heard cop-boy threw a huge hissy fit in the middle of the street when they put it there. I don't want to sound like an "Obama death squad" but seriously I think everyone including the dude would benefit if he had a heart attack and died.
I can bust out total stoner/doom guitar riffs ad nauseum. Just don't ask me to play a lead.
Can't you just wait till he leaves and park your car in his "reserved" spot? (And never move it again.)
Or, claim his spot when he's gone, and when you need to leave, call up your friend to come voer and tag-in to his spot as soon as you pull out, giving said friend a ride to wherever they need to go. Or, buy an old beater, park it there, put tags/plates on it but, don't insure it, and never move it. Then if the Man asks tell him you can't afford insurance right now, so it's not being driven. All legal and smooth, yo.
I can't remember Sam, did you just get yours?
Just remembered that yes you just got it. Open it up and take a picture of the inside for us!!!

yeah it was waiting from me when I got home from work. i have to say that it sounds amazing with the tone bypassed.
Any Blade Runner fans--check out the soundtrack: Link Removed
Not doom per se but this film is pretty influential.

Cool! I'm curious to how it sounds with the tone bypassed... Sonny said he'd tell me how to install a bypass switch but I haven't gotten around to it.
best way to describe it; more mids, and more punch. you can get more volume out of it too. well worth the wait.
