Sept 3,2010 was a sad day for Tulsa OK. The Admiral Twin Drive In burned completely to the ground. This Tulsa icon has been around since the 1950′s.
So now when I go rolling down I244 at night I will no longer see a movie playing in the night. It’s just pitiful.
The Admiral Twin is full of history and was featured in “The Outsiders” by Francis Ford Coppola. It’s been seen everywhere. That is a very popular movie. Lord have mercy folks!
As I write this post the more I remember about that groovy place:
- I partied there. (many times)
- I snuck in there. (Trunk)
- I saw the Exorcist there (first run)
- 2nd time I ever kissed a girl was there. (she broke up right after lol)
- My friends back yard was the movie. (Free movies)
- On the school bus I remember seeing the film crew and vintage cars in place for the filming of “The Outsiders” (daily)
Anybody have similar memories… Thousands I’m sure.
Come on now!
Save the Admiral Twin… Join it hipsters.
Sex Education in School-Recess

Do you remeber going to sex education class in school? You would go and eveybody would giggle as you watched some film about reproduction probably produced sometime in the 50′s
Then you would go to recess. Out there on the playground is where the real education began. Chasing girls around the monkey bars, getting kudies ,then punching your bud’s and getting all those “warm fuzzies”
Where did all this school yard sex education come from? Big brothers and sisters? Parents? Who knows…But I just remember there was plenty of it.
I never really got any “real” sex education. And considering how important sex is to teenagers I think it’s time to be a bit more frank. Like, if you do that kid… THIS might happen… Can you dig it?

Coke or Pepsi – Which is better?

Do you remember the Pepsi challenge? You would pull up to a grocery store and they would have this stand up there… You step up to the little booth and they give you 2 tiny cups of soda and you tell them which one you think tastes the best.
I chose coke… I had to think about it for a minute tho.. My mom had always told me that “Pepsi tastes’ like Coke with dirt in it”. Well, when I took the actual “test” I couldn’t tell…And honestly, in that setting, thought that Pepsi MAY taste just a little bit better…
Uh… Nope.
I’m a Coke guy for life hipsters…That’s just the way it is… Now that i’m older and slower and bigger and all I have decided to switch to the diet variety.
Coke RULES!

Was Pink Floyd the Pioneers of Space Music?

I have always enjoyed “space sounding music… And I am guessing that Pink Floyd was the first to do it.. Or do it right… The first record…Piper at the gates of dawn is really a spacey sounding record… Campy too…
It was recorded at the same time as The Beatles Sgt Peppers lonely hearts club band. In my “hip opinion” it is a better record.
So the space music? Well listen to it… The opening song Astronomy Domine is just about as spacey as it gets…Then right into Intersteller Overdrive… Come on!?!
I heard Roger Waters say one tome that “nobody invented space music” Well, I dunno… His first guitar player Syd was certainly one of the first right? That guy is kinna a trip… A tortured genius…. But then Syd Barrett was on a whole other level…
Many people I have talked to over the years are into Pink Floyd.. The later stuff… I try to turn them on to the Barrett recordings but many consider it just too freaking “weird” It is that…. WAY out… In SPACE….
Give it a listen sometime…With an open mind….
Telephone Computers
So when you call some kind of business be it a doctor office or utility company you always get a computer. …Push one for sales, push 2 for service, push three if you want to make and opponent.
To speak to a customer service representative push ZERO…
Well that’s a hard one huh? I may want to do any and all of these things. What I want to do is tell a PERSON about it. Not push buttons all day and then go on hold waiting to talk to a real person anyways…
So check it out.. The “system” will ask you to “enter your phone number” enter your name and ask other questions.. THEN…When the real person comes on to help you they ask for the very same information that you just told the machine system.. WASSUP?
OK… Push one for English.. Two for ….. French?
Happily travel by telephone :
