it's the glue to male bonding

― James Blount (James Blount), Tuesday, 6 May 2003 22:59 (twenty-three years ago)

i like my dad lots and his love of sport is even less than mine = zero in both cases

― mark s (mark s), Tuesday, 6 May 2003 23:01 (twenty-three years ago)

the math is wonky but the fact is true

― mark s (mark s), Tuesday, 6 May 2003 23:01 (twenty-three years ago)

there are alternate glues

shared geekiness=glue to male bonding

sports most common, but 'culture' does as well

I read some of the earlier entries today to my coworkers on our drive down to San Diego and they were almost crying with laughter. I fear what the rest of these entries will do to them. ;-)

The Fuddrucker story is still my favorite one.

― Eve, Wednesday, 7 May 2003 01:28 (twenty-three years ago)

me too, although I'm partial to Fuddrucker stories in general (are there any Fuddrucker's left?)

― James Blount (James Blount), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 01:37 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes! At least in this corner of the Midwest.

― Nicole (Nicole), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 01:38 (twenty-three years ago)

There were a couple in San Diego in the eighties, probably gone now...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 01:42 (twenty-three years ago)

there was one in Athens - I took a date their in ninth grade, she didn't like cheese, the date didn't go well - but it closed long ago. every other business that's opened up in that building hasn't lasted more than a year, year and a half either so it's not specific to Fuddruckers.

― James Blount (James Blount), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 01:47 (twenty-three years ago)

Jesus damn, Matos. You have scared me away from pot FOREVER.

The cool kids at my high school would go to Myrtle Beach for vacation and come back with Big Johnsons and Fuddruckers T-shirts. I was jealous.

I love my dad too. He doesn't like sports (other than Duke basketball, ugh), but he loves music as much as me. It's all we can talk about, unless he's drunk (then he suddenly "loves" me and whatnot).

― Yanc3y (ystrickler), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 01:58 (twenty-three years ago)

We're so gonna have a Fuddruckers FAP in Wayne or Paramus.

Yeah, defnitely, Matos you should come.

I think this is the funniest thread I've ever seen. What's Chris doing with himself now?

― J-rock (Julien Sandiford), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 02:43 (twenty-three years ago)

Chris answers. "I can't make my face turn into a heart."

dude needs to try harder:

(you guys are all great; thanks)

― M Matos (M Matos), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 04:44 (twenty-three years ago)

"I can make my face turn into a heart" is Oberst worthy

― James Blount (James Blount), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 04:45 (twenty-three years ago)

You know, the congressman who represents part of Northern Virginia (Arlington and Alexandria) is Jim Moran. He's the one who got in trouble for saying that a Jewish conspiracy caused the war in Iraq. Maybe he's the who that guy is protesting against. I don't know, it's possible.

He also said that it's been scientifically proven that Salvadorans work harder than Mexicans. So he has enemies.

― Chris H. (chrisherbert), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 05:19 (twenty-three years ago)

The Nation loves him

― James Blount (James Blount), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 05:22 (twenty-three years ago)

are there any Fuddrucker's left?

At least two have opened recently in DC. There was one in Rockville when I was growing up, but I don't know if it's still there.

― j.lu (j.lu), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 15:58 (twenty-three years ago)

There's one here in Richmond too.

― NA. (Nick A.), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 16:00 (twenty-three years ago)

There are a bunch of Fuddruckers in Utah.

― Fivvy (Fivvy), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 16:04 (twenty-three years ago)

My mother is about to partake in her second marriage to a shitbag very similar to this dude. In fact he got bagged for DUI last night and driving an uninsured, unregistered car. And yet the woman doesn't want to listen to my sister and I about shitbag and how she'll throw her life down the toilet.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 16:07 (twenty-three years ago)

What's a fuckrudder anyway?

― amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 16:07 (twenty-three years ago)

Marvelous burger joint with huge tasty portions.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 16:28 (twenty-three years ago)

>What's a fuckrudder anyway?

Chain restaurant based around selling "gourmet" hamburgers or something.

― fletrejet, Wednesday, 7 May 2003 16:48 (twenty-three years ago)

Like Sterling said! :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 16:59 (twenty-three years ago)

I have never been there. I should go there in honor of Chris.

― Nicole (Nicole), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 17:03 (twenty-three years ago)

THEY GOT THE BOMB DIGGITY HAMBURGERS, YO.

That needed to be shouted.

Find a Fudds

― lawrence kansas (lawrence kansas), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 17:58 (twenty-three years ago)

I asked about fuckrudders though.

― amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 18:02 (twenty-three years ago)

is what steered the Love Boat?

― lawrence kansas (lawrence kansas), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 18:05 (twenty-three years ago)

is that what...

― lawrence kansas (lawrence kansas), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 18:05 (twenty-three years ago)

19. Here was one of Chris's favorite things to do. We would be driving in the car and "American Woman" would be on the radio. Remember, this is during the time before I was a music fiend.

"Hey, do you know who this is?" he'd ask.

"No, who?" I'd say.

"Guess Who."

"I don't know, who?"

"Guess Who."

"I don't know, who?"

"Guess Who."

Ad nauseam, until he'd finally say, "it's the Guess Who, the band." (Note: I should take part of the blame for this, because it actually worked more than once.)

― M Matos (M Matos), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 20:19 (twenty-three years ago)

Wow.

― amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 20:25 (twenty-three years ago)

Jesus Christ Matos - I didn't know anybody actually fell for that one

― James Blount (James Blount), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 20:29 (twenty-three years ago)

I was eight!

― M Matos (M Matos), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 20:30 (twenty-three years ago)

My "wow" was an expression of shock that an adult could take such satisfaction pulling stupid tricks on a child.

― amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 20:37 (twenty-three years ago)

There's a Fuddrucker's about 5 mins away from me. haven't been there in a year or two.

― buttch (Oops), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 20:41 (twenty-three years ago)

I was responding to Blount

― M Matos (M Matos), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 20:45 (twenty-three years ago)

(what I meant was "I was nine, you asshole!")

― M Matos (M Matos), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 20:47 (twenty-three years ago)

20. Chris had a bunch of friends. Their real names are unimportant; what matters is that they each had a nickname. And that nickname was "Mick." Every fucking one of them.

Sample conversation: "Hey, Mick, what you doing tonight?"

"I dunno, Mick. What's Mick doing?"

"I think he and Mick are getting together to watch the game."

"You think Mick and Mick will let us join them, Mick?"

etc.

― M Matos (M Matos), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 20:49 (twenty-three years ago)

Matos do you hate cockney?

― amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 20:51 (twenty-three years ago)

(haha yes!)

― M Matos (M Matos), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 20:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Matos is wise.

― Nicole (Nicole), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 21:07 (twenty-three years ago)

This thread reams me with empathy, being that I grew up in the Cleaver household and really don't have a solid grasp of what it must be like to be smarter than all of the adults who are supposedly your guardians. Well, in high school I felt that way about some of the teachers and coaches, but not in my own damn home. Certainly not with my dad.

I don't know if these anecdotes are supposed to be funny or what. I laughed my ass off just in case.

― don weiner, Wednesday, 7 May 2003 22:47 (twenty-three years ago)

He also said that it's been scientifically proven that Salvadorans work harder than Mexicans

This may have been an appeal to the very large Salvadoran population in the DC area. Moran represents Northern VA, I believe. Though I think most of the Salvadorans live in NW DC.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 23:53 (twenty-three years ago)

"What's a fuckrudder anyway?"

It is how guys keep swimming in a straight line...by using their fuckrudders.
