Parenting moment: My friend, Dan was doing something completely inappropriate, while his Dad, Fran, read the paper, totally oblivious to anything. His Mom says: "Fran, will you tell him to knock it off?" Dad (Fran) says, without ever looking up from his newspaper and with cigarette dangling from his mouth, "Danny, knock it off!"
A friend was passed out under his seat at the Worcester Centrum during the Firm concert (for those who don't remember, The Firm was a "super group" that included Jimmy Page and Paul Rogers.) A random stranger grabs my shoulder and says "You gotta wake him. He's missing history."
A friend is laying on top of a car with his arm hanging down over the open door (don't ask.) Another friend gets in the car and closes car door, right on the hand. Later, after screaming subsides, friend with hurt hand says "I'm not sure if I'll ever play guitar again." Friend who closed door, says "That sucks, dude. Can I have your guitar?"
A friend decides he doesn't need to bring any footwear at all on a multiple-night trip to Hampton Beach. We walk into a restaurant and say "Table for 4." Hostess says: "He can't come in without shoes." Friend with car says: "Table for 3" points to the shoeless friend, and says "Meet you at the car."
Legendary friend (mentioned previously somewhere above) describing a body part to a female. "It might be short, but it's as fat as a beer can."
Me and 3 friends get into the Z-28 (of course) of a guy 3 years older than us. He turns from the driver's seat and says: "Hey, you guys like Ratt?" Us: "Yeah, sure." Him "Well, Ratt and Roll you F&*@ ers" and turns on "Round and Round" full blast.
Hanging with a guy way older than I should be hanging with. He describes first hearing Guns & Roses "Appetite For Destruction. "Man, that is real music. Swearing and everything."
It's getting harder to remember these as I get older, so don't be surprised if I ask for your help remembering more someday.
