Happy to oblige.
A few years back when I was wild and totally spontaneous, a bunch of us decided to go camping.
We loaded up the truck and headed for a cool campground near Osteen Florida that the
driver reccomended as a great place.
Soon after we found the dirt road off the main highway,
we found a place to pull over and toke up. We smoked a couple of doobs, and some hash under glass
and then took off down the dirt road higher than fuck.
After an hour or so of driving down what seemed like an endless sea of pine tree's and
palmettos in the middle of the night, we soon realized that we were lost bigger than shit.
Not only were we lost, but we were also getting dangerously low on gas.
As we were driving around furiously trying to find our camping spot, we rounded a curve
and all of a sudden we ran into this big ass mound in the middle of the road. It was about 4 feet tall,
and a good 10 feet across. When we hit it, the truck went up in the air and landed on this thing
and we got stuck on it. Thats when the most god awful smell hit us! Whoa! this thing smelled like
rotting, shit and guts! We were gagging and pukin trying to get the windows up, but the smell was even
coming thru the floor!
After what seemed like forever, we managed to get free of the mound and get the hell out of there!
We didnt have a clue as to what that was, only that it smelled like the pits of hell!
We never did find the campground, so we decided to park in the middle of the dirt road
(because there were palmettos everywhere else.) and camp there for the night.
Later when we decided to leave and head home, we ran out of gas. So we hoofed it back down the
dirt road to find a gas station, and every now and then we would see a catfish head.
hmm. The farther we walked, the more catfish heads we would see.
Eventually we found the "mound" we ran into previously and it was the biggest pile of
rotting catfish heads I ever seen in my life!
Seems that back then Florida Swamp river restaurants would dump their catfish heads out in
the woods but this time they dumped it in the middle of the road...and we found it.
Man,I bet that sucked.Hope it wasn't a complete buzzkill.
On the contrary, We all laughed about how much the odds were of anyone running into 3 or 4 tons of fish heads in the middle of the road were. I still laugh about it. ... even after 32 years. :jointsmile:Quote:

Hey Slayer do you remember Bob talking about the cacti? I was walking out of wal mart today and there they were!! This store insists on selling only censored music but they are selling freakin mescaline.
I think that is funny but sad too since I can't buy Buds legal outright.
I haven't bought music in years.....can't see the point of buying something that is free online.For the liner notes? No thanks.
I especially wouldn't buy anything that was censored,I don't believe in censorship.
"can't see the point of buying something that is free online"
This is exactly what killed my mother's band, and my own as well. So much for getting paid for our hard work and dedication.
I honestly have to disagree. I have been in a few bands in my time and Ive dealt with the issue of piracy. But in my opinion, if you are going to get into something like the music industry, its only expected. There is always gonna be someone who can find a way to get music or video without paying for it. I download all the time and if it wasnt for downloading, I wouldnt be the musician I am because I honestly cant afford to go out and buy every CD I want. No disrespect, but its honestly people like Cool and myself who support the music industry the most. I may download and get the album for free.....but Ill damn sure pay a ticket or buy a shirt at a live show. If it wasnt for downloading, I wouldnt know who half the bands I listen to are.
"I download all the time and if it wasnt for downloading, I wouldnt be the musician I am because I honestly cant afford to go out and buy every CD I want."
Broadcast Radio, Internet Radio, Pandora, there are millions of ways to listen and still ensure your favorites get their dues. Lack of money in an age of free streaming services is a poor excuse, IMHO. Oh, we have musical college, you know. Get some real music theory behind your current knowledge and you'll be even better.
"I may download and get the album for free.....but Ill damn sure pay a ticket or buy a shirt at a live show. If it wasnt for downloading, I wouldnt know who half the bands I listen to are."
Again, in an age of information at your fingertips, that is a poor excuse. You can find most lyrics simply by typing in the first five words you can recall, and from that you find out the band (or sometimes the original author if it's a cover song.) Oh, and usually after a song is done playing on the radio, the DJ announces the song artist, and sometimes even the track title before they move onto the next set.
"I may download and get the album for free."
The market is driven by album sales, not concerts and shirt sales, as the highest profit margin comes directly from album sales (.10c per pressed master copy sold for $15, factor in shipping, etc...) No album sales = no tours/concerts due to lack of funding money. This is par for the music industry, signed OR independent.
File a lawsuit,that's how a lot of Americans get rich.Quote:
