Shhh, keep it down! Don't say it out loud. It's like that thing in Harry Potter—you know, "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named."

Nah, just two last names without a first one😉

The guy with the double last name🙂

gentlepuma20 said:Man, we’ve definitely been to parties like that—even hosted them ourselves! 😱

Yeah, now that I’ve actually sat with it for a second... that’s just straight-up awful. 😬

If the party is actually good, even a bad guitar won't ruin it. And vice versa—if the guitar playing is killer, even a mediocre party can't mess that up. 🤔 )

Samuel Murphy6 said:Why would anyone sing guilty at a beach party while playing acoustic guitar? 😕

He'll probably realize once he's puking all over himself the next morning. 😬

redcrane28 said:Such a traumatized group... I’ve spent so many great hours at house parties, hanging out on beaches, or just chilling on park benches singing those old classics that they’re some of my absolute favorite memories. When you have your own crew, you just instinctively know which songs are total buzzkills and which ones get everyone hyped. We still do that today—honestly, I don't care if people think it's a bit tacky.

I’ve been there myself, spent countless nights just partying away like that. These days, being an old dog, it’s kind of funny—and honestly pretty annoying—when people complain about someone playing a song wrong. But hey, if the timing is right, I might even jump in and join them (just not for that specific song). Those kinds of wild nights are getting harder to find. Honestly, what’s better than just letting loose and hanging out with your crew? It feels like some people spend so much time on these forums that I doubt they’ve ever actually been at a bonfire with a guitar. And if they have, they probably weren't even having enough fun to be posting cynical crap at 3 a.m. Man, some of these constant complainers are exhausting. 😬

electro cute said:heheheh, I knew there were still some fans of Ski Jump out there.

No way, where'd you hear that?😬

Man, old Ramirez's son 😁

stormyviper11 said:A massive pop star walks into the local dive bar, greeted by the sighs of thirsty girls and the pure, unadulterated hatred from the guys. It’s all in their eyes—that "why him and not my garage band?" look—as he orders a beer. The bartender treats him like total trash, serving up a watered-down nothingness after making him wait forever. Some tall guy casually blows smoke right in his face, then drops his cigarette and crushes it underfoot, basically signaling how he feels about the celebrity. Everyone starts shouting over the music just to drown out the set, and the second he moves to a different corner, the sound tech tweaks the levels to make everything sound even worse. Feeling totally unwelcome, he tries to bolt toward the restroom, but really he’s just trying to hit the exit. He runs straight into a wall of indie snobs who won't budge, staring him down with pure disdain. "Sellout," echoes in his head, even though nobody actually said it out loud. Catching a split second of distraction, he slips under someone's elbow and lunges through the doors, feeling those judgmental stares burning holes in his back. Out in front of the club, distracted and defeated, he steps right into a muddy puddle and then straight into dog crap. Never again, he tells himself. Never again...

put this on the story screen 😬

Honestly, if there's one thing that caught my eye in this whole thread, it’s 😬 the fact that people are still playing guitar through those old-school tube amps. I really thought that sound had died out back in my day. If anything has been totally overplayed lately, it’s definitely American music, which explains why Azrofil says he can barely stand listening to certain stuff because of that tired old vibe. I can't even stand The Beach Boys, but that's just because they aren't all that to begin with. Now, Hotel California and Proud Mary in their original versions? Those are always hits for me. They're just damn good songs...

redcrane28 said:I'm all about Hotel California and Proud Mary, so I get why some people might find them annoying. But I HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE ??? How can that be irritating? As soon as it starts, I'm already tapping my feet to the beat.

🙂

Don't mess with Queen, or heads are gonna roll—and trust me, I'll be digging out the bones from the wreckage...😠

Scarlett Johansson said:down in Chicago they just grab you by the sneaker and scream "PLAY MISS OF BRMA!!" 😬

better for a sneaker than for a duck

btw, the word "sneaker" always takes me back to those old games when the late Nikita used to call basketball
"Paspalj scored a bucket right next to that famous local beauty"
"Another basket from Paspalj, a sweet assist from Paspalj, and a sub for our national team—out goes čutura, in comes Paspalj"
And in that moment when Paspalj would dive for the ball and land right in front of the photo reporters, it’d be like my favorite poet said: "even the reeds bent low just to catch a glimpse of the girl undressing"

Man, I can't stand those guys, though honestly, it’d be even worse if the Japanese came in and put us all on some assembly line just to keep the clerks in check 😬

Jason Chavez32 The user said:It’s kind of like how folks in the mountains always seem to have their own way of doing things. 😢

What's with the whole thing about Richard Gere? 🙄

Spider said:Man, I'd love to just chase you all back to your little caves... ☕

It really gets under my skin when people pull that "they don't make things like they used to in my hometown" routine. Just being stubborn for the sake of it.
😬

stormyviper11 said:The best fast food spots we stumbled upon during our multi-month ski trip through America along the Clickov patrols:
1. A fast food joint in Des Moines - stays open until 1 AM, and honestly, everything we tried there was top-tier. If I were being mean, I’d say: it was the only thing I actually liked in Des Moines. But hey, I said it. So, I guess I'm being mean. 😈
2. That hidden gem on Rhode Island, tucked away in a backyard with zero signage. Between the interesting story about local tin music history and the sticker shock (I think the cheeseburger was like $7 or $8), we were pretty annoyed until we finally got our hands on it. Once we tasted it: man, it was huge and delicious... I actually felt bad for not leaving the guy a bigger tip since I paid before eating.
3. A spicy kebab with all the fixings in the Suburban area at Barbary's (local pride, you know how it is). A total classic.

The worst:
1. Rubelj in Bielefeld 🙂
Bielefeld is a great city and I had a blast there, but every single place they took us to eat was criminally bad. I’ll have to head back there sometime just for a redo.

Totally agree with all this, even if I totally missed out on Des Moines, but yeah, Rhode Island and that kebab were spot on.😍
and rubelj 🤮 ....man, that stuff tasted like literal plastic.

Kevin Chavez3 said:Wait, did someone mention they have 0.66L bottles of Pilsner Urquell at Spanko? Is that for real? How much are we talking?

$6.75

Carol Thomas36 said:I knew we should've gone to Spank afterwards... damn it.

We actually reached out to you guys instead of just ghosting, and then you did that...🙂

It was a total blowout from start to finish.😬

Fair enough, it was pretty intense. I actually missed out on getting a photo with Roman too, even though unlike Rinafish—who was basically passed out right next to me—I was actually there for the moment...

My top list of things that just send me over the edge

1. A few bottles of Gosser, some regular Union, maybe an Union 1864, and a couple of Laski. At least ten total before noon, and after that, I'm done counting.
2. A bottle of Kacina Biska
3. Some cheap Canadian beer
4. A Long John
then hitting up Spunk

5. At least three large servings of Budweiser

and by then, I'm completely losing my mind.

6. Some moonshine
