Decided I was right in the first place with the "Spiderman" drumset.

Found one on Amazon right away (Shit, no wonder Bezos is a Zillionaire! ).

Here are the "technical specs":

Reig Spiderman Drum kit 5-Piece

Price: $46.94

International product from outside the United States.

High-quality drum set for children, robust plastic body.

Audio / video motivation: Learning, Entertainment, Musicality.

Suitable for children 3 years and up. (That's me... )

Box contents: 5-piece spiderman drum kit consisting of bass drum, cymbals, 2 side drums, 2 drums on separate stands, professional pedals, poles and stool. (Me: "Professional" pedals? I bet they're just like Dave Lombardo from Slayer uses. Speaking of Slayer I could order two sets at that price and have "double bass." )

Now I just need to get in touch with Jen to sign up for lessons.

You know Miley is like one of my biggest celebrity crushes of all time. You should probably read the post on her I made in the "Drag Queens" thread. It explains a lot.

But did you know she invited me to perform on stage with her during the "Bangerz" tour?

Hayley did during Paramore's recent tour as well but she told me to "put some pants on."

The 2020 Koenigsegg Jesko allegedly can reach a top speed of over 300mph (482.803kmh), faster even than the Bugatti Chiron, according to TopGear.

Its heavily modified version of the Agera’s 5.0 litre twin-turbo V8 produces 1,578bhp and 1106lb ft of torque from E85 biofuel.

Price: $3 million USD. The verdict? “Sex on wheels.”

This thread might be a better place for these although two of them definitely qualify as "dream girls."

I told you they're up to 1987 now with these ads. So this guy is 33??? And he lives in Zionsville? Damn, I must look pretty good for my age cause I'm older than that. What's next? "Born before 2001?"

"Cannabis Investing" seems to be the big thing right now. I hate drugs and really wouldn't have anything to do with it legal or not. But she could explain it to me anytime... In fact I can think of lots of things we could do.

And in the immortal words of Hermey the Elf from "Rudolf": "I want to be ...a Dentist!"

Failed restaurant chains. Another “fake” news story from CNN because many are still around.

“Burger Chef.” Murder is not good for business. This chain got its start in Indiana. In 1978 a Burger Chef near the Indianapolis Motor Speedway was robbed and the four young people working that night were taken to a rural area and killed “execution style.” Over 40 years later the crime remains unsolved. The building is still there, I used to drive by it on my way downtown. It’s a “fast cash” place or something now. But everyone around here knows the real story…

“Big Boy.” These are still around in the Detroit area. Michigan has 69 franchises even today. When I was a little kid my mom would always ask if I wanted to eat there. Fuck no. Looks like an “evil clown” on steroids, he still creeps me out (Crazy eyes and smirk. First thing I think is he's a pedo—imagine you are 5 years old and you know he’s watching you sleep…). Worse than Ronald McDonald IMHO.

“Chi-Chi’s.” Started in 1975, peaked in the late 90’s, early 2000’s. Lot’s of ‘em around Detroit. Sad to see it go as it was the first restaurant I ever took a girl out on a “real date.” Her dad drove us. When I was several years older it was a great place to get cheap margaritas and hang out with friends. The one on 38th street in Indy is still there. It’s a “Golden Corral” now. Bad part of town. Last time I was there we watched the drug deals going down in the parking lot.

Fuck the “tour bus.” This is the way to travel! Iron Maiden’s 747 used on “The Book of Souls” tour.

And who better to fly it than one of the band? Bruce Dickinson, lead singer, is a licensed commercial pilot and has flown airplanes for much of his life. Years ago I remember reading an article about him where he was flying for the RAF transporting troops and supplies.

“Up the irons!”

Still trying to decide what to do regarding RV's for our summer travels...

Brought this one home today. Neighbors called the cops.

She still wants a large trailer. Claims it has more living space than a "Class A." I don't think so and we will still need a "5th wheel" to pull it. Made a deal with her. If she lets me buy this truck, I'm all in...

But most likely we will end up like this couple. Such is married life...
