going to see the Fab Faux this saturday.
they’re going to play Sgt. Peppers and then a set of assorted Beatles tunes. Hopefully it lives up to the hype.
I know some folks who saw them and really enjoyed the music. Of course they were Beatles fans.
I miss cigarettes. I haven’t smoked in probably 5 years but I’d really love a smoke right now.
The comic poast was freakin awesome… 
^Agreed. Just makes me want to do this with everyone on the OKP…

OH MY GOD FONE IS TAKING OVER!!!
my car cd player won’t eject. i’m stuck either listening to the radio or black flag. i’ve been listening to henry rollins screaming for two days now. so i guess i’m gonna head over to best buy later on and get a new one. i need something with an aux input anyways.
anybody have any recommendations for what to get? good brands/models?
^Mine did the same thing, but it was under warranty so the dealer just replaced it. Never did get back the 6 discs that were in there, though. 
kenwood deck and alpine speakers. elementary, watson. : )
^ Agreed on the Alpine speakers, but JVC makes a great head unit as well.
Anything but Black Flag.
Exactly.
Kidding 
Greg Ginn was the better of the 3 vocalists.
I’m seriously dying in this ridiculous weather down here. It’s 5 til 8 and it’s still 83 friggin degrees outside. The humidity is supposedly at 84%, but I swear it’s gotta be higher than that. I thought I was moving to the mountains to get away from this crap. And on top of the crazy heat this past weekend (and the crazy, horrible, drunken redneck tourists that came to town for the Bele Chere street festival), it’s supposed to be cloudy and rainy every single day this week.
But hey, I only have a week and a half of school left for the summer, then Deer Creek! 
It was about 230 in the morning 27 years ago today, that Marie and I were awakened by our eldest daughter who told us the house next door was on fire. She still has nightmares about it because her bed was against the window that faced the end of the house where the fire was started, and in Ocean Grove, most houses, like ours, were only separated by a four or five foot alley way, so the heat and sound of shattering glass startled her out of her sleep.
Two elderly people died in the blaze that was purposely set, allegedly because of a drug deal gone bad. The fire jumped across the roof and began to burn our side of the duplex we were renting, and we lost about thirty percent of what we owned to water and smoke damage after everything was finally out. The outpouring of support from family and friends was unbelievable, and contributions from strangers and charitable groups was heartfelt and encouraging since we rented without insurance (btw, if you are renting, I’m here to testify that it is TOTALLY worthwhile to spend a couple of hundred bucks to insure your belongings), and were barely making enough money at the time to make ends meet.
It wasn’t an experience that I wish on anyone, but what always stayed uppermost in my mind about it is how genuinely supportive and kind human beings are to one another in times of need. We definitely have some creeps and criminals among us, but I know the vast majority of people are kind and good in ways that are only sometimes made evident when a crisis is felt. So when I think about this anniversary, I think primarily of this wonderful aspect of all of us, and celebrate that in my heart and mind.
I have my car & renters insurance paired together… and it is a few hundred bucks less than just my car insurance was. works for me!
Since I’ve been mentioning so much about listening to some music from here, just found a recent news item about Asbury Park…
http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2010/07/23/asbury-park/?test=faces
^^^wow, fone. What an ordeal that must have been. Its something to think about that it usually takes tragedy to bring people together.
^as for your link; there goes old Fox News again with the lies an deception:
Locals silently thank Bruce Springsteen for planting the earliest seeds of urban renewal by naming his 1973 sophomore album “Greetings From Asbury Park†after playing around town for several years and having had the courtesy to grow up in nearby Red Bank.
everybody knows that “Greetings From Asbury Park” was Springsteen’s FIRST album.
And now the real reason for the end of the world in 2012…
World Will Run Out of Internet Addresses in Less Than a Year, Experts Predict
Published July 26, 2010
| NewsCore
In 2003, Geoff Huston gave a presentation titled “IPv4 Address Lifetime Expectancy Revisited” where he showed the trends in IP address deployment, and used a simple model to extrapolate these trends to predict the moment the last IP address would be used up.
Experts predict the world will run out of internet addresses in less than a year, the Sydney Morning Herald reported Monday.
The internet protocol used by the majority of web users, IPv4, provides for about four billion IP addresses – the unique 32-digit number used to identify each computer, website or internet-connected device.
There are currently only 232 million IP addresses left – enough for about 340 days – thanks to the explosion in smartphones and other web-enabled devices.
“When the IPv4 protocol was developed 30 years ago, it seemed to be a reasonable attempt at providing enough addresses,” carrier relations manager at Australian internet service provider (ISP) Internode John Lindsay told the Herald.
“Bearing in mind that at that point personal computers didn’t really exist, the idea that mobile phones might want an IP address hadn’t occurred to anybody because mobile phones hadn’t been invented [and] the idea that air-conditioners and refrigerators might want them was utterly ludicrous.”
The solution to the problem is IPv6, which uses a 128-digit address. It would give everyone in the world more than four billion addresses each, but most of the internet industry has so far been reluctant to introduce it.
It would require each device that connects to the internet to be reconfigured or upgraded, with some users even being forced to buy new hardware, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.
In the meantime ISPs may force multiple customers to share IP addresses, which may lead to common applications, such as Gmail and iTunes, ceasing to work.
There are also fears a black market of IP addresses may spring up.
This part is the best.
Neil Everett and Stan Verret are definitely the best SportsCenter duo.
