Living for free at a Butlins Holiday camp that others were paying hundreds of pounds a week to stay at :)

gettin in trouble

I was in the Marines at Camp Lejeune.... Good times.

Finding out about glam metal

I was 5 years old. Probably doing backflips with friends on a pissy matress in a vacant used syringe infested lot of a burned down building in the middle of the bronx.

i was in grade 6 i guess. i was fairly obsessed with guns n roses. my friend and i made dozens of t shirt designs with the idea of selling them to them..haha. i was usually decked out in my guns n roses shirt, had and back patch on my jean jacket.

:drinkup :stoned :love-boob :jerkoff

Cutting high school, getting my hands on any computer I could get close to.
Skateboarding rest of the day and catching MTV shows at 1-3am in '89.
Whilst watching USSR fall apart, standing in long lines, sometimes for hours, to buy products like sugar, toilet paper, etc. fun times

Knocking out Iron Mike on NES like a chump!

Being born.

In my 20s banging anything that moved

crippin since 9 :thumbsup

Suffering, as usual.

back when video games were actually challenging...

some were just torture to beat come to think of it heh

it was my best time of life :pimp

I was in college, in a fraternity, and a preppy.

Unknowingly waiting for NIN to release Pretty Hate Machine.

haha, you worked at Butlins too. So did I, twice in Minehead and Pwhelli.

The very first year of Palm Beach Lakes High.. And my last. Spent most of my time driving around town at 14. All of the cops hung out at my dads bar so I didn't have to worry about getting busted which was nice.

Went on a family trip to disneyland. I just remember it being hot and crowded lol

Off to college in 1988. I did see GNR at the very end of 1987 at Perkin's Palace in Pasadena. Never saw them as good again. One time a year or so later (when Axl started showing up late, cancelling over health issues), Slash sang the entire set. It was a short set and they were opening for Iron Maiden.

Audio only.

this was my board back then..i still have it

Was spending all my time to this:



5.6 mm guns, court swords and horses were my "toys" since 9 year old.

racing horses

Masturbating full throttle to magazines probably shot by the legend Paul Markham. :2 cents:

So you were in porn before internet :1orglaugh

I have no idea as to what kind of bad drugs you're on...

mostly just crack and strawberries :2 cents:

Making glue on sparkles and elbow macaroni pictures on construction paper. Ah to be 20 again.

Cool. I wasn't working though. It was Butlins at Minehead though and they had just introduced the static owned caravan / trailer park at the very back by the old cable car station.

I had a 5 bedroom brand new van on a static plot for about a year and a half. In 88 I lived there full time :)

Were you there in 88? Perhaps we met each other ! :)

No it was a few years later but I probably took the cable car over your static.

High on coke and sucking cock in the alley to feed my addiction...I miss the good old days!

:thumbsup

I sold it after about a year or so. My first 'property investment' - Bought my first bricks and mortar house the next year with the proceeds. Ha to do something to get rid of all the cash. My Dad had a launderette that he used to 'wash' his porn proceeds... I bought a caravan at Butlins to wash mine :upsidedow

I was working the Neuro-surgery ward of St B Hospital
Was also starting a painting company on the side
Worked that summer as stage security for Sunfest (rock fest, Pearljam headlined that year)

...and was in my mid 20's and thus was banging everything that moved.

raving.......

I was defending freedom.

Watching the lakers beat the Pistons

I was 3 years old in '88 , and I was living a happy life with my grandparents and I was enjoying the last 2 years of communism :) !

a went in school for the first time in 1988

I had one of those in '84 or '85 except i spent the extra $300+ on the external 5 1/4" single density 360kb Floppy Drive because I wanted to be "state of the art" and to one up my friend who had the dasette drive or whatever it was called! I also had a modem that was something ridiculous like 200 baud or some shit.. lmao

This pansy ass liberal was going into the Navy to serve his country.
