Al, is it possible that you didn't complete high school AND are completely misinformed? These are not mutually exclusive events, right?

And I would be willing to bet (my tip of the day) that Daniel, while he may listen to the Bee Gees, does not carry a comb in his back pocket. Seriously, you can bring the noise on that one. Or whatever that means.

I'm sorry but I'm just enjoying this thread way too much. Carry on.

Wait.

This is the golf dude?

Oh, okay. I get it.

I'm gonna go be an old bird and pop some viagra. A guy like me can't hang with someone who's opened for Marilyn Manson.

Edited to add: It is important to note that even us old birds know how to post a decent scan. I guess they don't teach computers to the young'uns anymore.

Bad News - The whole PGA Tour thing might not be working out. (I can't wait to hear what "PGA" really stands for and how this is someone else's fault.)


Good News - In less than 10 years the Senior PGA Tour awaits! (Fuzzy and Chi-Chi are tingling in anticipation!)

Back-to-back Lajoie avatars. If Lichtman would hurry up and post his P.O.S. PC, I think we all split the jackpot.

Being born in Melbourne Australia in the Spring of 68', my first musical impressions regrettably included plenty of how can you mend a broken heartnight......fortunately better times were ahead with jive talkin and nights on broadway. The Bee Gees in fact spent a considerable portion of their growing years in Brisbane Australia and we were in turn good enough to pass them on to the rest of the world.
I'll take your thanks and heavy pipe bashings with equal understanding .
When it comes to soft rock I was more of a Little River Band man myself, if we must reveal our less machismo musical roots. They really could write some better than decent lyrics, hitting the scene in my home town of Melbourne in the mid 70's.

My favourite Aussie bands growing up were in fact Acka Dacka (or AC/DC), Sherbet, Skyhooks, Cold Chisel, Crowded House and INXS.

Dad used to use a comb but he left when I was seven and I stopped styling my hair after his not long after. Never used a comb again.

Whither Midnight Oil?

The 'Oils' were absolutely rocking to see live Dan, and I enjoy some of their songs here and there....but their message was a little too strong for me back then. It felt gimmicky or corny or - I don't know what - but I just ended up shying away from them. Funny as I grew up to be a real greenie at heart.



I really liked their early heavy rock stuff off the '10-1' album and Garrett could head bang/thrash with the best of them. One concert I was at he jumped atop a 12 foot speaker like it was nothing and sent us crazy with his bizarro dance and sweat flying off that cue ball head of his. Think I was only 10 rows back from the front.......



Fun stuff!!!

I never liked Midnight Oil much, but I do love The Angels, The Church, Crowded House and Hoodoo Gurus.

Thanks, though, Daniel, for Air Supply and Olivia Newton-John.

my complaint is the system in which the cards are graded and the inconsistent manipulative grades that are given out due to who submits the cards.



Ok I'll bite, what proof do you have to make that claim?


And I mean solid proof, not more of your sour grapes.

My all-time favorite Aussie artist would definitely have to be JG Thirlwell...I was listening to this stuff in High School.

I actually liked some Pre-Disco Bee Gees such as Massachusettes (SP.), I just got to get a message to you, 1941 Mining disaster. My middle 60's record collection was a weird mix of Motown, The Beatles, Eric Burton, Rare Earth, Bob Dylan, then came Led Zepplin, Doors, Black Sabbath & jimmi Hendrix and changed the Landscape.



Anybody remember The 13th Floor Elevators, Local Phychadelic Band that had some National success.

Posted By: Anthony S.

Jerry,

I recently saw a documentary on the lead singer of the "13th Floor Elevators," Roky Erickson. Same name as their one big hit "You're Gonna Miss Me." Dude's had a rough life these past 40 years.

Posted By: Jerry

Anthony, I saw that Documentary also. He was talented but it was kinda wasted due to his mental issues.
If you like early 60's phychadelic(sp.) Music check out the song by the elevators "Slip inside this House", it's a classic.

Still have the 13th Floor Elevators album, somewhere.

"Al or should i say Al Bundy."


Now that's just completely uncalled for. If there was any regret for that statement if should be edited out. I consider Al a collecting friend and it troubles me to see these type of insults.

Kevin, you old bird, I think you're confusing Ted Bundy the serial killer with Al Bundy the shoe salesman on "Married, With Children."

Either that, or Marshall is. Which is possible, he's just a young'un.

Although according to his website, he's older than me. But he DID open up for Marilyn Manson, so that's got to count for something.

I once opened a jar for my sister who had a friend who had a Marilyn Manson CD. Does that count for anything?

Al, Ted Bundy had a law degree I believe. So if you're smart you'll prefer the Al Bundy comparison.

Hey Bro's.

I just dropped off 10,000 T206's at Joe Orlando's house. (I was invited to his New Years Eve party.) Joe assured me that they would all be 10's.
I would like to show them to you, but I am too dumb to figure out how to post a scan.

I'm kinda tired today because I performed with Kari Underwood last night, and today I played quarterback for the Eagles.

Gotta run - I've got a good lead on a dozen gem mint LaJoie Goudeys...

Hi Al, I know the difference between the two Bundy's. The insult and disrespect tweaked me. It's just not necessary.

Now let's pass out the applesauce.

Just so Marshall knows...I am legit. I am no crook. I do not lie, cheat or steal. I am above board in all my dealings and happily answer questions and share information. I am also not alone. For every one thief, scam artist or criminal that Marshall can name, I can name five who are great hobbyists and people.

I am tired of people like Marshall who has no hobby presence that I can discern coming on this board and bashing the hobby. I almost did not post this because I just hope this threads die but I am really tired of being lumped together and called thieves or criminal by association. Before Marshall screams that I work for PSA or that I am big submitter, let me let him in on a secret. I have submitted two cards to any grading company in my entire collecting career. Both to make sure that they were not trimmed and both now reside in two of my friend's collections after a sale. 2 cards. My own collection is 99% raw. Some would get high grades, most would not. Marshall, get over yourself and if you want to whine about the grading companies, then fine, but do not bash the hobby or the people in it.

...for all of you MMA fans out there, does the name Daniel Puder ring a bell? That's who Marshall reminds me of: someone that likes to yack and self promote more than actually do anything of substance.

Why do so many high-end collectors talk in the third-person, are passive aggressive, homophobic and generally insecure?.. Please MB, you fool noone here.

I challenge you to be yourself

You guys love to dish it out but when someone gives it back everyone is offended and cries foul. The funny thing is that my e-mail is flooded with people saying the exact things i do about Pro Scam, they also have nothing positive to say about most everyone doing business here except for Leon and a few others. They don't want to post their opinion because they want to continue to buy and sell cards on this site. That being said most artisitic song writers flow in the third person and i just do it on here because it does get a rise. By the way i do feel sorry for the chap who does not know the difference between Ted and Al bundy, that made my day.

2-2 on the Weekend. Lay the points Texas romps.

Dude,

I KNOW you were all over the Buckeyes tonight, weren't you? You are all about the NOIZE!

I bet the game under first half which was 26. I bet Texas flat laying 8. My big bets however are teasers which are Texas-2 with Pittsburgh 0, Texas -2 Phil +10, Texas -2 Baltimore +9, Texas-2 Cards +16. The hard part is over because all the teasers are alive. What is amusing to me though is where were you on the last two winners i posted, probably hanging out with Dr. Gloom Bretta.

No, Dude. I'm with you all the way. Pure genius. BRING THE NOIZE!!!!

If you want noise here is the lock of the week. Pittsburgh will walk through San Diego as if they were little girls. Rivers looked horrible against Indy and although i admire the little guy for running the ball with a big heart he has got 0 shot against gaining yardage this week. Ahhhh now where we were oh that is right GAI bankrupt with 50,000 to 100,000 in assests yet they owe creditors between 1,000,000 to 10,000,000. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
