Being a transplant from Southern California, some of you East coasters have an interest in what it was like to grow up in San Diego during the 80s. This video pretty much sums it up.

Here the infamous Surf Punks album.

I can't believe I actually bought this album

If I had a band, I would call it “Chocolate Phantom” after the one of the 3 phantom’s (vanilla, strawberry and chocolate) in the Scooby Doo episode “The Ghosts of the Bad Humor Man”. We would play a mixture of funk and psychedelic rock with a touch of surf guitar. Mushrooms would be involved.

One rainy night Freddy lets Shaggy drive his precious Mystery Machine–and Shaggy wrecks it! He bumped the Mystery Machine at the Happy Humor Ice Cream factory. A trip inside to use the phone to get a tow truck turns into a mystery, complete with three Technicolor Phantoms–Chocolate, Strawberry and Vanilla! Scooby might love food, but these guys could ruin even his appetite!

John Lennon is pretty amazing and surprising so is The Who. I would he never thought they could pull off a live version of “A Quick One While He’s Away”. Also notice what the audience is wearing. Snuggies!

Last night I saw a homeless person holding a sign that was pure advertising genius. It read: “Ninjas killed my family. I need money for Kung Fu lessons.” This guy shouldn’t be homeless; he should be helping us write copy.

I still remember the first time we met. I was just getting over the passing Linksys (aka Sparky) after that terrible lightening storm/power outage. Poor Sparky. He never saw it coming. Grief stricken, but resolved to continue on, I ventured grim faced to the Best Buy. A lot of different brands caught my eye, but you were different from the rest. First of all, you weren’t black. Don’t get me wrong. I’ve had a lot of black routers. There was Pingy, Webby and Bob. But you, you were white and very impressive with your 3 antenna. Clean and sleek, almost Apple-like. I bought you quickly and rushed home, excited about our new relationship.

Like any couple starting out, there was some awkwardness at a first. Should I just plug you in and see what happens? Or follow the steps in the manual? Being a gentleman, I decided to carefully follow the instructions. What a mistake! Your software just didn’t work. My laptop couldn’t see you. Maybe you were scared. Maybe everything was happening too fast for you. After a few more missteps and coaxing, you finally came around, revealing yourself with an excellent signal. Happy and feeling content that I had made the right choice, I went to bed.

Night is a time for sleep. A time for quite. And shining lights are out of the question. I guess nobody informed you because you lit up my room like a carnivale. Greens, yellows and oranges lights strobed across the walls and ceiling. I thought to myself, “That couldn’t be my new router? My new router is classic and modest. It wouldn’t lower itself to sure cheap theatrics.” Tilling my head over the edge of the bed, I made the confirmation. It was you! I could believe it! Sparky never acted this way. There was only one thing to do. So I did it. I covered you with a dirty pair of my underwear and will continue to do so until you’ve learned your lesson or another power surge releases you from this world. You are such a disappointment.

Whore!

I would appreciate this much more than a Hallmark card for my birthday.

Is there anything bacon cannot solve? They should drop a load of it on the Middle East.
