This is a local bowling alley/bar/entertainment complex near me. It used to be a K-Mart, but damned if it isn't a pretty popular draw here in the 37209. A lot of teens hang here on the weekend, so they have security guys (culled from moonlighting Metro cops) there all weekend to keep teen bullshit to a minimum. The beer's cheap and cold, too.
This is where I used to tailgate -- not quite "in the shadow" of LP Field, but close enough. We called this free parking spot "Trucker's Chapel," 'cause it was in a cul-de-sac downtown, behind a truck stop, and was in plain sight of a mobile home on the truck stop's lot, labeled, "Trucker's Chapel." The guy behind me is WorldWideWebb, with whom I lived for six months after losing my home.
This is where I "tailgated" this past weekend, when the Titans kicked the Eagles' asses. ;) This is the landlord's brand new deck. Pretty cool, eh?
This was one I intended to post around Halloween, but connectivity and other priorities prevented that. These are some of the costumes worn at a party I attended several years ago. Below is my costume at that party:
... which won First Prize, believe it or not. Took several minutes at Target to get a hooded sweatshirt and a pair of cheap sunglasses, y'know. Yes, I was Ted K., the UNABOMer. If I'm not mistaken, this was 10/31/2001... :)UPDATE: Hey! I can add more than five photos to a post! Here are some more...
Good ol' shoe... these are ages-old (at least six years) leather Nike cross-trainers that I have plumb wore out. I keep 'em around because they're very comfy, and great for doing stuff that you wouldn't want to risk ruining a good pair doing, like cutting grass, etc.
Two femmes ponder their fate, after being busted parking in the lot just south of Cafe Coco. See, a lot of folx assume that all the spaces close to the Coco are free -- NOT TRUE. There are only five freebies, so if you fail to pay the box, some prick in a red pickup will drop by, minutes after you park, and slap a boot on your car. Cost to be freed? $50.
They ain't playin'.
Scooter day's weather report! I think my mom got this weather station for me for Christmas one year... I recently re-discovered it, packed away in a box in Curly's room, recently, and decided to make good use of it..

That Unabomber costume is pretty funny. Then again, I once saw a friend of mine wearing a hooded sweatshirt and a pair of sunglasses and remarked, "You look like Ted Kaczynski's dissolute little brother," so maybe I'm just warped. :)
I loved the Wilma Flintstone costume, myself, as well as Ms. Genie's Lady Liberty (but she was the host, and disqualified herself for the awards).
