cincyrob! If your happy Then That's all That counts ! But if allowed one Comment Or Quote I would say Quote:
" What and give up show bussiness ? "" LOL! I would ,were I you Would just say That I was on Extended Hiatus from Dumpster Diving ! Don't turn in your Union card just yet ! You can always buy more Blanks ! A spindle or two here & there & you'd be suprised how soon they add up ! After all Even the Esteemed Pontificating Potentate of Plastic Procurement ,Grand Poobah & Lord High Everything else !(JVC) Has Gone back to diving !!!! if I remember his posting right & if not he should ! great talent should Not be squandered! Besides great leaders lead by example !!! But cincyrob I understand one must follow ones path (But Know in the end that Your Kung Fu is very good but you lack Discipline !!!!!LOL!)So If you have chosen To retire Hopefully you'll Take up boxing so you can make a comeback ! again & again ! Feel free to visit here or the shoutbox whether or not your diving Just to say hello or swap crazy stories or make some up even ! Well Sorry you won't be around the dumpster 's for awhile! but I have a strong suspicion that you'll Be back ! Good luck using up what you have already ! And in the famous words of Govenor ARNOLD " It's Not a TOOMAH! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's kinda like when you're watching tv and you see that man holding the lottery check and you go, "what the hell is he gonna do with all that? There's no way he's ever gonna use all those cases." But then, you know, you're like trying to find his phone number in the book so you can call and say "hey, I was just wondering if I could hit you up for a few cases, you know, until I get back on my feet," but then he says get lost loser and you don't see him again until he shows up years later on a Maury episode, "They Won the Lottery But Now They're on Case Welfare" and you say "what's up with that" and someone says, "he couldn't handle the fame, man."
If I were you, I'd put away some of those cases away right now before you start eyeing skybox seats @ Cinergy, etc. You could invest them at 8% and live off the extra cases. Oh, and if you have any extra double cases man I could really......what....oh, that's cool.
Congrats Cincy...you show us all that it can happen. Praise JVC

cincyrob- WeLL with all due respect to both & Not being able to play any Musical instrument ! Other than a Stereo! I like Van Halen !! Just Fine I suppose But David Lee Roth was never one of my Favorites ! He got his Start as lead singer for 3 reasons ! 1. It was his P.A. System /Sound system , 2. His uncle had connections im the music Biz !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, 3. Neither Eddie or Alex Liked to sing!! . I'm not putting down singers per se' The human voice is an instrument too ! But altough He was somewhat of a Ego Himself ! I had a little more respect For Sammy Hagar because he could Play guitar and sing !!!!! ( Yeah coming from me who can't do either &Who sounds like a Sasquatch gargling broken glass , Bourbon & oyster shells if I even attempt shower singing ! LOL!!!!) But I suppose my favorite Van Halen line Up was Valerie Berenelli -LOL! !!! All that Repressed catholic Guilt, Me likey !!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL! And to pass a couple words on your pending Retirement or Un-retirement !!!! 1. Name all your male children George It will prevent confusion !. 2. Plug in the Grill & knock out the Fat ! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-Brats & Burgers all Round !!!!!!!!!!!., 3. Only get your cars mufflers & Brakes done at Midas ! LOL! .. 4. I Forget the person behind this qoute but I think it applies to your Diving retirement " Rumors of my demise are Somewhat Premature !!!!!!!!!!!: Now If you will excuse me Valerie just showed up With all the Victoria Secrets models , Some Latex outfits ( For Them of course LOL!!!) & 5 gallons of squeeze PaRkay ! Butter !, Parkay ! ... Well If I'm gonna dream I may as well dream big right !? Welcome back Mr.Kotter !!!!! er' cincyrob later Gang !!!!!!

sounds like a good dream too me. think i might have had the same one...lol..
vanhagar was ok, your reasoning why you liked sammy with them is the reason i didnt like him. to me it seemed he tried to out do eddie and thats not possible. ive seen vanhagar twice and sammy just seemed like he was tring to out play eddie...with Dave it was just good fun. him acting afool and the band playing there ass's off..but the most underated bass play of all is/was micheal anthony. well thats my 2 cents worth....lol

cincyrob-Well I agree with you that Sammy is a Big Ego too ,no doubt about that ! & never having seen either version of Van Halen Live I can't comment on who is the better player though being A . I'm not a guitarist so I could'nt gauge who's the better player Technically I'd probably say Eddie ! What would be intersting is to put eddie up against some others like steve Vai, joe satriani ,& Adrian Belew - What can I say " The Lone Rhinocerous Speaks ! Or maybe Eddies elephant Phart !! guitar sound !!!The real thing is more PHlappy sounding ! trust me - Took grandson to the zoo & the elephant let's her ripp!!!! He loved it Boys will be boys I guess ? It probably would be better to get all those guitarist together atleast it 'd be interesting !to record anyways ! I guess I'm a rocker @ heart but I have eclectic taste a lil' of everything except country, I I like country but it's like Mayonaise a little goes a long way !!!! Well I just thought I'd put in my two cents this morning so So good luck & tell george hello! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPP !!!! LOL!

7. B.B. King.
8.(the silver surfer)Joe Satriani
9. Steve Via
10. Slash.(he's just cool)
11. Kenny wayne Sheppard - These guys would be on my short list too ! with the addition of adrian belew ! he uses a Guitar synthisizer so I suppose to you could call that cheating But he still gotta no how to play & he can get sound sounds out that thang! Maybe I'd add Charo as an Alternate If your including Classical/Acoustic & flamenco ! Altough she's known for the Coochie Coochie & broken english She's actually a talented Musician & can speak several languages !! And for an older lady she's still in great shape ! Besides I just like when she goes Coochie Coochie !!! LOL! I hope Valerie Does'nt get jealous LOL! Well that's about it I guess I'll make another Diving attempt Tuesday and see what happens !!! check out the website RatherGood.com it's goofy goober fun!!!! especially the Jelly video & the Fishy video ! good luck safe diving & happy burning ! later

How many of them have you seen live?
I don't even know who some of them are......
Don't know:
Randy Rhodes
Steve Via
Slash
I've only seen two of them.
I saw B.B. King, and the best one, Jimi Hendrix.
They were both at the same concert; Atlanta Pop Festival, July 3, 4, & 5, 1970. A lot of groups played that weekend! :o)
Hendrix played his version of Star Spangled Banner, the night of July 4th, with fireworks exploding everywhere! Very nice!!!!!

JVC- Yes HeNdrix ! Was The man ! No doubt about That ! When You Consider His Musicianship ! Skill , The things he did with just 4 track recordings ! Freakin' amazing !!! Unfortunately I never Got to see Him In the Flesh ! B'B'KING - Well I Lke BB !! He makes Lucille Talk !!!! & Is living proof That Quality Beats Quantity every Time - Just Cause You can Play 80 Bazillion Notes does'nt Mean you Have too Every time ? BB Could too But he does'nt !!! but The notes he choose to play are awesome ! If that makes sense? Most of Those guys I have'nt seen live/in person But I know about Them ! Steve Vai I believe Got His Start with FZ!!!!!!!!! Frank Zappa - Another great though Probably Under appreciated Guitarist That Most people only know from his Goofy Sh** !!!!!! I did see Frank Zappa Live In New Orleans years ago ,But I don't remember if Steve Vai Was with Him back then!? what was cool about Zappa Was he would take /find Musicians that Were Great Unknowns ( at The Time !!!!!) & take them on tour with him & record with them & Then they would be Big acts themselves after that ! Saw Edgar Winter Twice live -he did a Kiler Rendittion of FrankenStein ! Saw Johnny Winter last year in october ! I love Music especially Live music ! But don't get to check much out anymore ! Besides the Winter Brothers !, I've seen a Few other National acts here & there , JerrY Jeff Walker , Charlie daniels , JImmY buffet , Nitty Gritty Dirt Band !,Crystal Gayle ( Years ago -God that Hair & them Eyes !!!!!!!, Ian Hunter ( Mott the hoople 'a singer ) Richie havens , Rita MarleY !, BUrning Spear ,Boozoo Chavis (ZYDECO !!!!!)Rosey Ledet ( Zydeco ) Actaully Got her to autograph her CD ! She's really Humble ^ down To earth !!! Like I said earlier I'm Mainly a Rocker !But I have eclectic Taste !!!!!!!!!!!!! Dire Straits , & Devo John Cale !!! & a few others local& or National That I've probably Forgot . Maybe I'll Post a Few Pictures On My Profile Of Some bands IF I have them still On the Hard Drive ! ( It's amazing what Comes out of a Dumpster thread isn't it ? Good Luck Jvc & CincYrob & George 1 too ! later !!!

This bunch is to dang good, just to dang good I say!! I've read the last 6-8 pages I guess and have learned just enough to take/make a dive or two myself. lol.
cincyrob,
You get any covers along with those pS2 game cases. I might be willing to wire you a few $$ to send them my way. :):):) I'm thinking about backing up my pS2 games but would like to have a few of the cases around to put them in, just something to think about since you hit the DANG lottery. lmao.
@rippdogg,
Nice start to a good story, you must fill us in on more later.
@BIGTOXY69,
That had to be the beginning of a Joan Wilder special. lol. Romancing the Stone, maybe?
Lots of fun here. Keep it up fellas.......

A couple of weeks ago, I passed my old apartment complex and right there in and around the dumpster, free for the pickins as this awesome and expensive home office furniture/workstation set up, hardly a mark on it. If I'd had the muscle, I'd have brought it home and thrown out mine. There were a lot of wealthy college students with rich daddies in that building/neighborhood. THe beginning and end of each semester as well as the semester breaks are great times to go dumpster diving. Especially those kids moving back home for good ... they throw away the greatest stuff; they make no attempt at all to even sell any of it. When I was a kid in school, most of my furniture was made of boards, milkcrates and cinderblocks.

cincyrob- Om putting your Previously found cases in a clean Garbage can & Pretending to Find them again ? ( or as My Lovely wife Moragn Fairchild Yeah that's the ticket !!) Would say " I found it ! , It was'nt lost !!! , But I found it ! LOL! Several years ago There was a Big Drug Bust in a Small Louisiana Parish/Town? I forget which specific One it was The Local Police/Sheriff's office ? whichever they Had ? Found / Busted a Moving Van Full of Drugs !!! Matijauana ,& more worth Many dollars in their Town - Big news and Publicity for them for about two weeks or More ! Then as Paul Harvey would Say " The rest of the story Came out !!!!!" The police/Sheriff's office were able to Find /Bust /Confiscate all Those illegal Drugs So easily because ! Ta-Da !!!! They had Placed Them there in the 1st place ! ( The Drugs were from previous arrest /Drug bust sezuires ect... !!!! Straight out of Their eveidence room ! Long story short That's Cheating ! The True story was'nt as exciting as the made up one so after a short while it went away ! I'm Not calling You a cheat of course ! I'm just trying not to be an Enabler for you delusions of Grandeur !!!!LOL! I find that The Cardboard Boxes That they sell Bulk Toilet paper in at sams Makes a Good DVD case storage area if You have room to store them in ? perhaps you have run in to The Zen Dumpster QuandRy - ( Where to Put all My Free DVD Cases ? ) if Not You soon will LOL! Good luck & safe diving !

@BigToxy
well it did sound good at the time..lol as far as haveing some place for all of them i did clean out the top of my closet shelf and have them all up there.
got a question for everyone. when you get your cases do you go ahead and fill them with your blank disc or do you just keep the blanks in the cake box and get them as you go? just curious. i normally fill me cases when i get them, but it didnt plan on getting 400 cases at once..lol
went to the dive lastnight snow and all.. nothing other than some covers of superman and gridiron gang.. got a few for the boys too play with.

cincyrob- I basically Leave the Blanks in the Spindles Till I burn them . Nothing wrong with putting them in the cases thought ! they'll be protected well enough ! In My case ( pun unintended !!!) I've got Sony, Maxell , Taiyo Yuden , Officedepot , Fuji (MIJ's Hooray for me !!!!) Sony MIJ's Taiyo & Non Taiyo )Verbatims ect... So If I put'em In the dvd cases ahead of time And assuming ( I Know about ASSUME !!!LOL) that all my cases are Generically Black , They are'nt all but most are I would Have to root through a enormous quanity of cases If I want wanted to Change Brands or Speeds of Media ! I have Some 4x Verbatims left , Lot's of various 8x Blanks ^ lot's of 16x see what I mean ? I would have to label my cases as to speed brand DVD+R or DVD-R ect... Quote:
" My brain Hurts !!Monty Python " Easy MongO!!LOL! Where as If I keep them spindle side I reach for what I need !when I need it ! Thought I generally stick to one Spindle /brand /speed at a time I still like the freedom to keep my options open! Like I said though This is what works for Moi!( miss piggy perfume bottle french !!!!) But there's nothing wrong with casing them if you want to ? I like to Put Scary /horror /Scifi Movies in them CHartruese ! " Phlourescent Booger Green cases that games come in Sometimes ) Although most of My Dumpster rescued treasures are the regular single black cases I have gotten the occasional Clear/Milky White ,Purple ( Go LSU !!!!) , Blue , Yellow orange , Red and the Booger Green ones - White & The Odd thick sliver grey Doubles ! The Booger Green ones are they Most common Non Black ones followed by the white ones ! I suppose if I had enough of each color I could color code them Different colors for Different speeds or Brands ! But I don't but a good thought though! well Good luck & happy Hunting Put some new pics up on the profile & deleted one off ! If you gonna be around there for a look ! Later Buddy feetz !Up Head Down !
