This song holds some pretty good memories
for me, too. I'll go with a 7.5.

It reminds me of the kazillion hours I spent at a local arcade called Lost World playing ROBOTRON...

( I always had the high score ! )

We didn't have a proper arcade when I was into
video games. We had to go to the local 7-11 or
to the bowling alley. I was more into Missile Command.

Remember that "pioneer" video game that ran using a laser disk ?

Can't remember what it was called...

There were dragons and shit in it, and you had to time your moves PERFECTLY in synch with the disk.

Damn thing NEVER worked right !

No wonder it was a monster flop.

Aha... It was DRAGON'S LAIR :







Stupid thing.

As soon as I read the comment before your last one, I
knew you were talking about Dragon's Lair.

I never really got into it...it just didn't work very well.

I tried to master that retarded game when it came out at an arcade called Yesterdays at the local mall...

Damn thing was SO frustrating !

Well, uh... yeah...

Back in our sk8tr / pUnK rOcK days, Bren & I and a small group of friends decided to each create our own nicknames.

( that's not dumb or anything, right ? )

Brennan chose Dirk for some reason...

*cough* retard *cough*


Mine wasn't retarded at all.

Laurie - Yes, really...

Some Canadian skater had sent a letter that was published and he basically claimed that US skaters SUCKED and Canadian skaters were 100 times better.

( along those lines anyway )

I sent a letter in response that SHUT HIM DOWN...

I guess Thrasher liked it 'cause they published it !


Some years later when Bren and I had moved to SF and were working at the Fillmore, Thrasher's main photo man Mofo wanted to attend a Cramps gig on Halloween, and also wanted permission to take pics for the mag...

( Thrasher is based in SF )

I managed to talk the house manager Richard into it, so Mofo had two tickets waiting at the door.

He showed up with pro freestyle skater Rodney Mullen, and they had a blast...

After the show we got to sit around and bullshit over drinks, and Mullen signed my Cramps Fillmore poster.

Mofo sure was slammin' down drinks !

Anyway, a few weeks later, I got a box delivered to me out of the blue at the Fillmore from Thrasher mag...

It was full of Thrasher t-shirts and stickers along with a thank you note from Mofo...

WOOOHOO !!!


I barely remember the short article and pics that were printed regarding that night, and I don't remember if I was mentioned at all...

Didn't matter to me at all 'cause I got Mullen's autograph AND the Thrasher loot !
