Probably 1997, way before anyone had cell phones routinely, I went to an open house kind of interview for some cell phone company who were hiring people to go door to door. They hired everyone who came on the spot, and I never heard from them after that day. The only thing I remember was when the guy who interviewed me said that eventually everyone would have their own phone number, and that was such a foreign concept then.
This bluegrass band who covers pop music tunes called the Cleverlys, and their rendition of the song Low. Shawty got them apple bottomed jeans and the boots with the fur is hilarious with a banjo and stand up bass.
I think Vince Neil of Motley Crue got a ridiculously short sentence for drunk driving manslaughter because his record company bought off the judge so that they could make money off him performing. I suspect a lot of famous people have that happen.
I honestly think people are lonely and just want someone to listen to them, and when they are mentally ill this is a strange method they use to communicate.
The Beachcombers! Very long running Canadian TV show about a log salvager from British Columbia. I don't know how you make 18 years out of stray logs, but they did.
I had a teacher in high school, who also coached the hockey team, who liked to make fun of you when you bought into something stupid by saying "did you know they took the word gullible out of the dictionary?".
So when he said it, I grabbed the dictionary and looked it up and said "no Mr Pizzo it's right here!".
He looked wonderingly at me and said "I would expect that from one of my hockey players but not you".
I also liked Motley Crue a lot in grade 7, and because I had just begun learning French decided to ask my French teacher what the lyric about menage a trois meant. It was very innocent of me, and she told me it meant three people living in a house together.
I kept a Livejournal for many years. I closed it when the Russian government basically took it over for propaganda, but mirrored it to Dreamdwidth. It's hard to read in places, but it's helped me a lot regarding ending my relationship and why I'm not crazy.
Also there is fax spam. I get all these random advertisements faxed to me for companies for window replacement services that don't actually exist, and sometimes fortune tellers. I have no idea why.
