That's most definately an ELO song, though I can't remember the name.
Ding Ding Ding! Correct. "Fire on High" is the title.
As children growing up in southern Maine, Rob Gee and I were lucky enough to have this ride around whenever we wanted. Its basically a scrambler indoors. Very dark, with scary pictures of monsters and such on the walls, and that song blaring to 11. (Hey for a 12 yr old its damn cool)
Many kids growing up in Maine -including yours truly - genuinely thought the ONLY reason the local rock station played the song was due to the rides popularity.

We really don't do that in So Cal. It's all the imports who watched too much So Cal on TV that do that. Dude.
I was purposely avoiding this thread because I thought for sure it was another "newbie got roughed up because they were doing something stupid" post and those tend to just be pissing contests. Damn this got funny! Sorry I missed it!
Anyhow, I've been spending my afternoon in a daze about Jennifer Garner breaking up with Michael Vartan for Ben Affleck. These things need to stop. He is sooo not worthy.

She's just on a constant climb up the hollywood food chain, isn't she…. Of course there's no knowing for real, but Scott Foley was the keeper in that posse.

Normally that is all that is in a pit…
Acutally, your way off on that one. I go in the pit but I think a few board members would tell you that I'm not an asshole.
Rob, I consider you a friend because you've hooked me up in the past. I don't think you're an asshole. However, I will say that from all of the shows that I've been too, there is a predominance of moshers that are. In most cases you get people in there who are just out to fuck with people and knock them on their ass to make themselves feel big. I meant to make the generalization, but not to have you feel like I called you an asshole.

Ahhh. Gold Teeth. Makes me think of the old rapper Just Ice. He had the worst teeth I'd ever seen.

Hitman whats up? Haven't heard from you in awhile. Doe's that mean you've been doing less shows? The comment I made wasn't meant towards me thinking you thought I was an A-Hole. I know you were making a general statement, I just wanted people to know that I often go in pits but I'm not such a bad guy. Although earlier in this thread most newbies mighta thought otherwise.
Not much been going on. I haven't been to the club in a while. Probably the last show I went to, you probably got me the tix for. I've been to 2 Sessions shows. I'm thinking of hitting the Robert Randolph show, but will have to check, so I'll let you know. School year starts next week, so I'll be back to work. Hope all is well with you.
