Real story... When I started this gig in 2001 about a year into the job we got a new guy. I heard he was like 18 through the grapevine. At first he was fine coming to relieve me in the mornings. Eventually he just got sloppy and really took his time coming in and before you knew it he was not coming in until two hours after his shift was supposed to start. I gave him slack cause of his age but even I had my limits. He got fired and on that day I learned that not only wasn't he 18 but he was my exact age (I was 28/29 or so at the time) but HE FREAKING LIVED LIKE 15 MINUTES FROM THE JOB. I swear, if I had known that when he was employed here, I might have stomped a mudhole in his buttocks and walked it dry. That level of childish behavior should be gone from a man after the age of 25.
Well one is the Brother of the site supervisor THEY had a fall out at home now the brother won't answer the phone. The OTHER guy is ex navy and this is the 2nd week he's done this. HE should be more reliable

Great Rao... Yeah, an ex-military guy should be a lot more reliable. As for the other thing... it sucks getting caught in the crossfire. Stay frosty Varth.
 
So I heard this latest hurricane in Florida is a bad one? Hitting the mainland.
 
we've already got bad storms in Georgia because of it.
 
Convince me that this isn't the greatest track ever

Stallone was a hypocrite using this track in a montage to illustrate how the heroic American trained "old school" without the aid of modern equipment to defeat the evil Soviet fighter who prepared in a high tech gym and used performance enhancers, all the while the truth is that Stallone is a walking cocktail of substances banned by athletic associations world wide.















It is still an amazingly awesome and over the top montage though. :woot:
 
To all the brothers and sisters on Third Shift... Our beds and we shall be re-united soon. Hang in there everybody.

I remembered that line Timothy Dalton's character told Jennifer Connelly's character in The Rocketeer (I paraphrase):
"Not hypocrisy, acting."

Holy crap, I just woke up and was smoking my morning cig and lightning had to hit not more than a street or two in front of me. It literally blinded me for a second. I've never seen lightning touchdown that close before because that scared the f*** out of me.

Yeah, lightning is insane AF. My dad was grilling in the backyard one summer when I was a kid. It was raining but he really wanted to finish the stuff he had cooking. The grill was under a large umbrella. So he keeps going out to check on things and no joke maybe a few seconds after he walked back in the house a bolt of lightning hit about 6 feet from the grill. I remember it like it was yesterday. You really could smell the ozone, the brightness and color were astounding.
 
Yikes, the last episode of TBC podcast is 2 hours 4 minutes long.
This session will be long, and I'm glad the download option exists for this one.

We appreciate your patronage Aziz. To be fair it's as I've touted, a show all about the Year In Film That Was 1984. Lots of material to cover Aziz. Think of it as a take out meal where you are going to have leftovers for a day or two. :woot:

PS: I hope you enjoyed the 8-bit adaptation of our intro theme and the Max Headroom tribute at the start.

I'm debating if I want to ride 3 buses to work in this. There are tornado watches in effect right now. They actually have a hurricane hotline to let us know if we are even supposed to come in but my dumb ass didn't write it down.

A transformer box behind my house was struck by lightning and exploded during my 13th birthday party. Scared the living **** out of everyone.

Have yall ever seen lightning scars?
