Actually I think what this calls for is a bus with big green picnic tables and pitchers of Spaten for everybody.

You know what your post calls for?

I've got something to tell ya
I've got news for you
Gonna put some wheels in motion
get ready 'cause we're coming through
Hey now, hey now, here's what I say now
Happiness is just around the corner
Hey now, hey now, here's what I say now
We'll be there for you

(chorus)
The Vengabus is coming
and everybody's jumping
New York to San Francisco
An intercity disco
The wheels of steel are turning
And traffic lights are burning
So if you like to party
get on and move your body

We like to party
we like, we like to party
we like to party
we like, we like to party

Hey now, hey now here's what I say now
happiness is just around the corner
Hey now, hey now, here's what I say now
we'll be there for you

(chorus)

We like to party
we like, we like to party
we like to party
we like, we like to party
we like to party
we like, we like to party
we like to party
we like, we like to party

The Vengabus is coming The Vengabus is coming The Vengabus is coming The
Vengabus is...

(chorus)

The Vengabus is coming

Vengagun ain't far behind.

What?

― Ajazay, Tuesday, 30 December 2003 04:34 (twenty years ago) link

That song always reminds me of metro garbage removal. I saw this city worker with his yellow pickup truck one night - slinging the bags into the back, wiggling his butt and blaring Vengaboys. That guy knew how to party.

Sorry, FFX2 is invading my life possibly?

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 04:39 (twenty years ago) link

Seriously, if there is a weapon called the Vengagun, I am suddenly way more down with guns than I was just a day ago.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 30 December 2003 05:20 (twenty years ago) link

har! i just played the first Vegnagun sequence last night. i'm now learing how to play Sphere Break.

also, why can't all ps2 games have lesbian massage sequences?

I got a Henckels block but I bought my knives piecemeal. Unless you're doing major preparation, you really only need a big knife, a small knife, and a serrated knife.

― myfriendmyfriend, Tuesday, 30 December 2003 05:26 (twenty years ago) link

The whole game is kinda messed. BTW: take you time and do the side quests. They're more fun then the storyline ones, except that stupid cactuar one. Gawd I hated doing that in the last game too.

heh heh, tombot way funnier than c-man, so it's okay!

This has always been my advice to the graduates: whatever you do, get a serrated knife.

― lawrence kansas (lawrence kansas), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 15:32 (twenty years ago) link

My most recent experience with a serrated knife ended in huge amounts of my blood all over the damn place. Spinktor was there, he saw the whole thing. My pinky was jacked up for weeks. Costco has a big unnecessary Henckels block for $160, I think I might just go get that one and stop worrying about it.

Re kitchen knives, get a big Global knife. It's susposably what all the real chefs use, and, like them, you just need one of them unless you're going to do a lot of fish filleting or something. Global knives are really good cause they hold their edge really long and they're really really light but they are also pretty expensive. But you just need one. This one's good.

for pinky carving I recommend the paring knife

Kurt sez: Be a knife nerd. What better kind of nerd to be?

Don't get the block. Don't buy boutique German knives. Find a restaurant supply store and get a couple of Dexter-Russell knives. They're the brand butchers use. They stay sharp. They're ugly as shit. They're cheap. They're what Kurt would use.

Unless your wedding cost $299 or less then that trade off is not a very good one, Chris.

This thread is alarmingly lacking in Tango & Cash references. God, that movie was so fucking terrible.

― TOMBOT, Tuesday, 30 December 2003 19:12 (twenty years ago) link

CAPTAIN RON WASN'T BAD ENOUGH FOR YOU??? WHAT THE FUCK.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 30 December 2003 19:16 (twenty years ago) link

My barracks roommates never got Captain Ron.

― TOMBOT, Tuesday, 30 December 2003 19:20 (twenty years ago) link

I don't think anyone ever got Captain Ron.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 30 December 2003 19:23 (twenty years ago) link

i feel a little calum abt this, but "6" semi-stiff crvd. boner" from that russell-harrington site made me chuckle.

― g--ff (gcannon), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 19:25 (twenty years ago) link

I've long had this fantasy about opening up a theme bar in San Francisco called 'Escape from L.A.' I think it would do very well.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 19:32 (twenty years ago) link

You could serve "Mango and Dash," a drink made from tropical fruit and Angostura bitters.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 19:34 (twenty years ago) link

haha, this would be written above the bar:

"You may have survived Cleveland. You may have escaped from New York. But, this is L.A., vato. And, you're about to find out that this f*cking city can kill anybody!"

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 19:35 (twenty years ago) link

also, the bartender would only ever say: "Call me Snake"

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 19:36 (twenty years ago) link

Patron: How much?
Bartender: Call me Snake.
Patron: Uh, pardon? How much?
Bartender: Call me Snake.
Patron: I don't understand.
Bartender: Call me Snake.
Patron: (walks away without paying)

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 30 December 2003 19:37 (twenty years ago) link

DAMMIT ally I just wrote MY version of that scene. Eh. Here it is anyway.

"Can I have an 'Unlawful Entry,' no rocks please?"

"Call me Snake"

"Uh, can I have an 'Unlawful Entry,' no rocks, SNAKE?"

"Call me Snake" etc until customer slaps bartender hilariously

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 19:39 (twenty years ago) link

And the jukebox only has John Carpenter!!

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 19:40 (twenty years ago) link

The three of you are really clever together, somebody call cable access.

― TOMBOT, Tuesday, 30 December 2003 19:40 (twenty years ago) link

"Hey, what's playing on the jukebox?"

"It's this...Thing!"

― lawrence kansas (lawrence kansas), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 19:42 (twenty years ago) link

Dude we don't need cable access, we have the internet.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 19:44 (twenty years ago) link

Anyway Spencer your bar totally has to happen, and I want to be a bartender, but I think ME w/an eyepatch saying "call me Snake" is actually funnier than anything we could possibly post to this thread.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 19:45 (twenty years ago) link

Tracer OTM, that concept wins

― TOMBOT, Tuesday, 30 December 2003 19:45 (twenty years ago) link

Chef in Kitchen of Escape from LA: Snake, Which cutlery do you think I should use to prepare this dish?
Bartender: Call me Snake.
Chef: I DID call you Snake.
Bartender: Call me Snake.
Chef: Fuck you. (stabs Snake with an 8" serrated blade purchased from the same supplier that supplies Peter Lugers, the multipurpose bread choice of all Chefs everywhere)

xpost Tracer guess what you're getting for your birthday??? If you didn't guess "eyepatch" you're a moron??

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 30 December 2003 19:47 (twenty years ago) link

hahahhahahaha oh my God.

Tom you just say that because no one's thought of putting Momus behind the bar yet.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 19:49 (twenty years ago) link

Dear god.

In my mind I just constructed a version of this "Call me Snake" dialog.

Between "Snake" (who is now actually Tracer Hand) and Aja. It still hasn't ended in my mind.

I'm going to go outside and have a cigarette before I go insane.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 30 December 2003 19:50 (twenty years ago) link

God now it's Momus, Aja and Tracer. "Call me Snake!" "What?" "You're both Republicans you know." "What?" "CALL ME SNAKE!" "What?"

I'm going to go play in traffic, actually.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 30 December 2003 19:51 (twenty years ago) link

i've seen a nude photo of Momus, snakes a good name for him

― lawrence kansas (lawrence kansas), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 19:51 (twenty years ago) link

heh you could also call Momus "Big Trouble in Little China"

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 19:59 (twenty years ago) link

You know, you're the one who brought up Kurt Russell to begin with, you have really no one to blame for all this but yourself. How much more info could you possibly need about all these knives anyway?

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 30 December 2003 20:05 (twenty years ago) link

Get some Wusthof knives, Tombot.

I've got a Global chef's knife and a paring knife. That's about it.

― mh, Tuesday, 12 January 2010 15:17 (fourteen years ago) link

I have those IKEA knives. For the money, they've certainly served me well, but in the end they are bendy & dull, & always have been tbh. I've been thinking about investing in a decent set. Are Wusthofs overrated? I know they are sharp as fuck when they are new, but how are they for longevity?

Also, I really need to see Escape From New York.
