  1. I'd go for a zaxxon game for sure.....

    Used to spend a scary amount of quarters on those damn things in arcades back in the day. Actually got such a high score once that all the digits rolled over from 9's back to 0's. Only stopped when a guy pointed out I was bleeding on the machine.... Just had 4 wisdom teeth pulled and they loaded me up on pain pills.... Dont really remember driving to or from the arcade very well but I remember that game flashing 'give up' on the screen over and over as I got close to rolling the score over LOL!

    Got home, realized that those pain pills were scary and threw the rest out.

    Never could duplicate the high score.


  2. "Death by cheesy rice buns"

    "

    The sport of competitive eating was given a shocking reminder yesterday that gorging oneself with a daunting amounts of greasy food in an extremely short period of time may have negative effects on health.

    A Taiwanese graduate student vying for the "Big Stomach King" contest at Dayeh University died on Tuesday just before he could claim the winning title.

    The 23-year-old had chowed himself ahead of 30 other teams by consuming two buns filled with rice and cheese and helping himself to some of his teammates food as well. He was on course to win the annual campus event when he passed out and died after "relentless" vomiting, Reuters reports.

    "I can't say why he died," said Huang Te-hsiang, the university's dean of affairs. "He had been in the contest before. He was a strong guy."

    Had the student been victorious, he would have won NT$2,000 (~$60, £ 38).

    Taiwan's education ministry has barred further campus-based eating contests while it conducts an investigation."

    All I can do is shake my head........


  3. No need to apologize Nurk!!! Playing with George would be an honor for anyone, there is no question about that!

    My amusement was in regard to the comment made by another person, and didn't have anything to do with what you wrote.

    I found your comments fascinating. I guess I am guilty of assuming that Tom and Mike know all there is to know about anything with strings.... Learning that George taught them some new tricks produced some great mental images of the three of them jamming together. I can picture Tom and Mike's faces lighting up as they learned new stuff.

    I think a person would have to get up pretty early in the morning to surprise Tom or Mike!


  4. I am hoping I just took the person's comment wrong.

    Mike just a good Rhythm guitar player? Sheesh! What exactly would it take then to be a good Lead guitar player?

    Shooting picks and strings out of his rear end? Maybe playing so fast that the fretboard bursts into flames? Playing so good that panties go flying for miles around every gig?

    I'm confused about this Rhythm guitar player comment! LOL!


  5. Once upon a time I was talking to an industry person regarding an upcoming DK performance and the topic shifted to Mike's guitar playing.

    The guy said something like "Mike Campbell is a great Rhythm guitar player" - Well I about choked because I felt that this description didn't do Mike justice at all. A Rhythm player? What prey-tell would it take for someone to be considered a Lead guitar player if M.C. does not qualify? LOL!

    Well, maybe the comment wasn't so crazy after all :) That is when M.C. is playing with the likes of George Harrison.

    (Give me a M.C. lead any day of the week!, and TWO on the weekends. It doesn't get much better that that.)
