mr.yuck Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Go to court and if the cop shows up you say you started to change lanes but to your recollection there was another car in your blind spot making it impossible for you to get over. To your recollection. Very important. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 @nicklesndimesI got out of a lot of NYC traffic and parking tickets like that. They have a law that if any info is written incorrectly on the ticket it becomes exempt or whatever. They tried to send one back to me with a lesser fine instead and I sent that shit back "no" and quoted the law and the mistake and they had to throw it out. NYC registration stickers have a bar code with all the car's info that they just scan and it fills in on the ticket. I had an out of state car so they couldn't scan a bar code and they always managed to write in an inaccuracy about the car in the ticket. Think I beat 5 tickets like that. Anyhow, learned about it on the interwebz, saved me a lot of $$. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Man Banned Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 So how old and decrepit does your favorite artist or band have to be before you don't want to see them perform anymore? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morton Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Some performers can keep in going and going, actually improving in their art with time. Jazz acts, classical come to mind as genres where the best performance may well be by senior citizens. If it is just a cash grab by some geezer I will start clear but in the general case of there is a show to consider I say to go for it, never regret going as much as not going. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.yuck Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 @mortonone of my favorite bands is earth wind and fire. They used to come to play Portsmouths outdoor arena all the time. When I lived down town, I could sit out on my porch with a J and a drink and listen to them play all night. I always said I was actually going to go see one of their shows live. I bullshitted around too long and Maurice White, one of the original vocalists died in like 2017 or so. It's weird though, cuz the band has had several dozen instrument players roll in and out of the group over the years. Just doesn't feel right to go see them live anymore. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Knight Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 One time I was working a Tom Petty show. Familiar with his music. Not familiar with how he looks. I started bitching to this old dude about how I didn’t want to be there and how tired I was. He agreed with all my complaints and said he’d rather be home. Turned out to be Tom Petty. A little while later he passed away. Moral of the story is don’t work when you’re old especially if you have a lot of money. 3 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Man Banned Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 General thought came because everyone is only getting older. And no one wants to be old. I think of people like Ozzy now, Stones was a good example too although they still sound good. AC/DC lost a few and Brian Johnson can barely hear. There are bands out there still putting on shows with one original member. Most original fans are getting too old for mosh pits. Even if people can perform they do lose some of their moves over time, vocal range, etc. So what's the limit for you? If your favorite MC can't prowl the stage will you still go see them spit sitting still on a throne? A wheelchair? If Metallica can only play their songs in slow acoustic will you still go see them at 80? I don't know who the oldest rocker still doing it is now, Bob Dylan maybe?

I'm pretty sure that's the most manly experience you'll ever have. Sometimes when I have a good stream, like breaking the seal on some beers, I'll start pissing and then start moving back from the bowl to see how far away I can get. Or I make an O with my thumb and finger and pee through the center. I piss while dropping monikers. I piss and walk at the same time. Partying like it's 2023. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fat ralphy Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 No to the pissing with hands up. I got tickets to Dead and Friends last tour next Summer - like 3 dudes from the original group and they are all in their late 60s. Santana fucking rips and he passed out on stage this year. Some of these young dudes are loaded and can barely perform at times. I think its all about how much the artist can tap into the essence of their work regardless of age. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndv Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 What would 12oz do? So, I have this customer that orders 10 nameplates once a year. PO is 680 bucks. That's it, that's all. I always come through when they need it, but I have to chase my money for roughly about 6 months. I basically have to threaten them to get my money, 1. I shouldn't have to and 2. It's just bad business practice. I am considering on dropping them. Would you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw AC/DC about 6 years ago and they are geriatric still rocked but you kind of see the end coming. I will still go to shows to a degree but am starting to experience that "see them before they die" sensation. I mean Ice T is 64 years old now. I had my first legal beers at his concert in sydney in 1992. he would have been mid 30's then. Krs is 57 Chuck D is 62 flava flav is 63. George Clinton is 81 now that's a good innings to still be performing massive shows. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you? unless i feel like being nice, i let this happen once. after that, our agreement for any new work comes with my late payment clause. my standard late fee is +10% of the amount owed after 30 days of delinquency. and it can be re-applied every 30 days. it's savage. since imposing this, i have always been paid on time.
