I've still never seen this one and had forgotten about it. I remember when it was filmed here. How much of the storyline really has to do with my home base?

Also, I'm just getting ready to read your highly anticipated camping nightmare thread.

In keeping with the same vein, here's one of my camping nightmares from my frat days. I got fucked up, passed out in-between the houseboats and got tagged by the girlfriend and soon to be Mrs. Maximus Paparazzi. lol.

Yep, that pathetic fucked up lush was moi back in the day.

Lookin' sharp!!

Go see SLC Punk, for sure, it's one of the best movies I've ever seen about...fuck, anything...I ran with the punk culture a lot when I was younger, so it made a LOT of sense to me and it was like I knew virtually everybody in the movie in some sense. Basically, it's like...a day in the life of, sort of shit...about kids trying to be punk in Salt Lake City and how badly it goes for them...it's funny, it's sad, it's dramatic...really excellent story.

You'll love Crackhead Bob - think of me
