The Conquistador's Picture Of The Day

Purdue is known for some weird stuff. Long before I went there, they got a bit of early Internet “fame” as one of their professors posted videos of himself lighting a barbecue at one of the parks in Lafayette using Liquid Oxygen.

Eventually, so the story goes, the Fire Department told him to cut it out. You can still find pictures and video out there but most of it goes back to about 1995 or so and is very poor quality by today’s standards.

Would have been awesome to take my volleyball player friend Blake to one of these cookouts except 1) We lived in Detroit then… 2) I was like 12… and 3) She wasn’t born yet...

Stopped at the store on the way home...

Always good to wash and dry your hands. But that sign is actually giving me ideas... Wonder what that would feel like?

Yes that's me. I don't know about you but I don't think I look like I was "Born Before 1985."

Of course I took my girlfriend along.

Was searching for 70's and 80's "blacklight" posters of bands. Found this instead.

Where would we be without all those "fake news" sites? This was on my phone earlier today. Allegedly he had been in that position for 20 years (The good news: at least he never had to worry about getting a date... ).

Doctors were able to perform surgery and "straighten" him.

I don't know if the story is true or not but I do know the last time I was able to bend like that definitely was over 20 years ago.

The local mall hired me to play Santa this year. That turned out to be a mistake...

This is what my wife got me for Christmas. It will arrive later this week. Will have to get cymbals, pedals, and re-head it. PDP is the "lower end" of DW but are still very good drums for messing around.

I bet they were.

(Especally the one on the left. Look at how she's smiling. Her friend looks disappointed. )
