errr why don't you update the collective?

Yes, I'm curious what he's up to these days.

What about Optics? I think that was his name on the board.

Fucking stop. I've met the people in question, you haven't. You're wrong.

Sometimes we do shit to appease our spouses even if we think it's stupid.

Stuff happens.

You'll never really know why and it's all empty conjecture with nothing to back it up.

We can waste time randomly laying blame or just accept the situation and make the best of it.

I'm amazed that anything ever gets fixed since everyone is always so busy laying blame.

Appease was a strange way to phrase it... to yield or concede to the belligerent demands of (a nation, group, person, etc.) in a conciliatory effort, sometimes at the expense of justice or other principles.... I thought anyway.

But at least mtn girl gets to give everyone relationship counselling now... that's always good for a belly laugh.

My question re Prince answered---Opioid overdose. Who would have ever guessed?

Saw the Altagirls in March. Same, same. Rotorhead is flying a medvac chopper somewhere in the vicinity of Tahoe. He retired from downhill mountain biking after attempting a backflip at Whistler. :D All good folks, and it bums me out that I can't get together with them - and a whole lot of the rest the old Utah crew - more often.

I thought Mrs. phUnk was still Ms. phUnk? Either way, despite her intricacies (or maybe because of them), they're pretty much perfect for each other.

And that's "The Rest of the Story..."

My grandparents always had the guy on the radio, it was like having an extra grandparent when I was at their house.

OK....here's one for the real OGs....

What happened to the guy with the red, white and blue face?

It's almost worse the other way round not only do i not understand these kind of references (TV, radio celebs, sports stars, minor politicians etc.. ) no one here understands mine either.. Morecombe & Wise, Terry Wogan, Malcom MacDonald and Enoch Powell... see?

It's hard work being in the Brit diaspora.

Hm. Not ringing a bell.

I do remember who killed Mr. Poundkey though.

Who invited MtnGirl to this party?
Try to suck less.

DTM-

Had a similar thing happen to my wife, and we still don't know why.
Great friends of ours that lived in the neighborhood. Some shit went down in about a 2 month span-
1. Their dog died. Dog was like 15 or 16.
2. We moved shortly after that, a couple streets over, to a much nicer part of our 'hood, and a much pimper pad.
3. The wife (his, not mine) was diagnosed with MS.

The wife just stopped talking to my wife one day.
We still don't know WTF happened. She either felt slighted that we didn't mourn her dog properly, was somehow slighted that we moved, or was just miserable for health reasons.

So, I guess the moral of the story is...

At least you know how you done fucked up, even if it is totally bizarre.
So you got that going for you, which is nice.

Maybe they just got sick of your shit. Maybe they were just nice and friendly because they lived close by, but when they moved away it was easier to stop the facade...

That is just the way it is.

How about the Kirkwood crew. For a while there, they seemed to have it dialed in. Charging while leading somewhat normal, adult lives. Tyrone, Supu, etc.

I still wonder what happened to Phoebe Cates since she was clearly unwilling to wait for me to find her and sweep her off her feet...

I'm guessing Kevin Kline had her killed and turned into an android.

Edit: judging by his FB posts SuPu still kills it, just now as a husband and father. Still goes to BM with Splat I think.

Maybe we could get into to Big Steve's obsession with Chainsaw Willie, next. Does Big Stevo have the herp, too?

The stuff with spouses happens. My wife has done that with several of my friends over the years, not to the extent of not speaking a word to them but making it basically impossible for me to hang out with them and forcing me to make a choice, them or her. So far she's on a winning streak but...

I work around the edges of it. People who know me know I care about them and know that she can be weird so it's just kinda how it is. One of my best friends is on this board and he's on the black list for something he didn't even do, and he knows I still love him. Logic and reason are not the driving factors in some of these occurrences.

Yeah, same with me. I rarely ever see my old friends anymore. Part of it came about when they all had kids and we didn't but also due to her not being as enamored with my buddies as I was. As for the photo...."Why I oughta...." "One of these days, Alice. One of these days..."

MG - It's a balance. The way Iceman describes it is very similar to my experience. I've been married a very long time so we must have done something right but, it's a bit of a trick working it around the edges. All part of the compromise that comes with a long-term relationship and partnership. I think that's common with most of us married for a long time.
