So, who's your favorite reggaeton artist?


My tape player in my truck is broken, so I can't play my booty of grarage sale 80's metal. And my antenna is broken, so all I get is the music of the land. Colorado is quickly becoming the northern edge of the new mexican nation, so I've got lots of latin radio. See my earlier post on latin radio...
After listening to lots of latin radio, I know what the the newest music craze sweeping the nation is. It's Reggaeton. If you haven't heard, it's a pretty universally repeptitious beat with smatterings of latin jive. Mega95 is all that. Radio Tricolor has been holding the line on more traditional mexican music, the kind with a ommpah tuba, accordian, a marching snare and marching bass drum.

So, as humor, and I'm a white guy, and as a language lesson, and to feel cultural, I listen to that stuff on the radio.
Luny Tunes Music is kinda like Little John level of influence, you know, on every track....

I've got arcade money in the pocket on my 'roos.


I was raised as a videogame player. I quickly went from Atari 2600 to an Atari 800XL and a 1200 baud modem. Those were the days of using the same MCI 5-digit long distance access code for years. Things changed. MCI changed codes, Sprint went up to 9 digits. Codes still abounded across the BBS's. I spent many hours in the arcades, were I was a winner. Recently I had a hankering to play 'Raid On Bungeling Bay' on the C64. So, I get my c64 emulator setup and I'm there, back in 1984. Then I had a notion to play some obscure old video game, such as Mr. Do! or Space Duel. So I loaded up MAME emulator and downloaded whatever games i desired from ROMNANTION. That place is wonderful. Get all yer emulator fixes there.
My favorites are Chiller, Gunbird, and the dancerrific Moonwalker. You really should learn how to get all of it setup just to play a shooting gallery that consists of a dungeon torture chaber (chiller).

Dumpster diving for money.

See that coupon on that cup. 128 are worth 2 roundtrip tickets on Airtran. Anyone with some time now has an opportunity to get some free money! It's so simple, go dig out trash from your local Wendy's store. Throw it in the back on yer truck. Go home and spread out some large plastic or tarp. Dump out the trash. Clip and clean the coupons on the cups. Sell bundles of 64 or 128 coupons on Ebay. 128 cup coupons are going for about $160, or the cost of that many large drinks. So, you get $160 for free, and the person buying the coupons gets two roundtrip airtran tickets for $160. Ebay is pulling these auctions quickly, so sellers are selling you a 'box' with the coupons as packing material, or you are buying a pencil with these free coupons. I certainly hope Marty Crozier is on to this free money thing. Or if you don't want to sell them, get your own air tickets! Airtran flys to Grand Isle, Bahamas. Go for it.
