I largely agree with GL. Fall from Grace is probably considered their best but my favorite has always been Rum, Sodomy and the Lash. But my favorites from that one are Pair of Brown Eyes and The Old Main Drag.
Thanks! I'm definitely getting a few of these. Also trying to get a DVD documentary about Shane but not sure it'll arrive in time.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

Totally. You just can't go wrong with that record.
Depends on where the meeting is. If it's at my house, showing up early is more annoying. If it's at work or something and they start promptly, the 5 minutes late can be annoying.
What's worse. Someone showing up for a meeting 30 minutes early? Or 5 minutes late?
30 minutes early, that's just inconsiderate. The early arriver should kill time for 25 minutes. Unless you are in the service, I'd wager most people would easily accept five minutes late, provided its not a chronic issue.

5 minutes late IMO (if you've already accepted that the meeting was missed). Nothing I hate more than having the feeling of "Okay...guess we're not doing that now" and packing things up getting ready to move on to something else and then having the person show up and you need to get ready again.

Someone being late is my problem. Someone being 30 minutes early is the intern working the front desk's problem. (although 5 minutes isn't usually a big deal).

We have a really small office so unfortunately it's also my problem when someone's waiting in our front area. Argh.
I like getting stuff knocked out early usually, so most of the time it's not a big deal to bring them in early... but sometimes I'm in the middle of something urgent and feel bad making them wait.
If you're early, you're on time. If you're on time, you're late. And if you're late, don't bother showing up because you obviously don't care enough.
I don't know man, do an 40minute - hour+ commute to get to a random location with 50 pounds of sound gear... Someone getting angry with you over 5 minutes is just as annoying.
Additional note: Public transportation, often during rush hour -- while trying to figure out exact stops,transfers, and where the location building is

It takes me 20 minutes door-to-door to get from Astoria to midtown (for people who don't know what I'm saying: I go from northern Queens to 42nd and Park Ave. every morning). It takes me 45 minutes to get from Midtown (Grand Central) to my job site, which is on 68th street. I use public transportation for both trips. Figure that sh*t out.

Sounds like you'd be better off walking from Grand Central to your job site. It's good fitness.
While I appreciate your concern, I am not walking 26 street blocks and then 4 avenue blocks carrying 25 pounds of job-related paperwork, material, etc. Ever.
It's 2 miles and would take 10 more minutes if I walk at the same pace as the slob that Google bases its "walking directions" durations on.
Hmm, I always walked NYC blocks at about 1 per minute. But I guess carrying a ton of crap is never fun. Plus the avenues are killer.
Plus traffic lights, construction, protests (all the embassies and government housing/offices are in the area because of the UN), the f*cking 2nd avenue subway insanity, the fact that half the avenue walk is uphill and my seemingly supernatural ability to attract tourists and slow-walkers to cut me off and/or ask me for directions. I walk fast, and it still takes me forever.

But FITNESS, man. You could have fishsticks while you walk.
You're just too young to grasp how stylin' I really was. All the boys wanted to do me when I was 5. Actually the girls did too. My haircut was confusing.
I wish I lived somewhere I didn't need to own a car. Although I'm sure the cost of living in NYC would end up amounting to more than I pay a year in car insurance, gas and repairs.
This accurately describes my experience moving from Boston back to Sydney.
My sister-in-law owns a car in Manhattan, which I think is so unnecessary. The median monthly cost for a spot in a garage is about $400-500 , depending on the neighbourhood. Otherwise, good luck finding street parking anywhere within a mile of your destination.
I've never ridden the subway. I want to ride a subway sometime in my life
Subways are awesome, they're cheap and generally safe. Start traveling - I've ridden NY, DC, Paris, London, Montreal, Toronto, Marseilles, Frankfurt, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, and I think Milan (getting old sucks). And I live in a city without one
I miss driving sometimes. Not everything that goes with owning a car, mind you - just the driving itself. I haven't been behind the wheel since July.
I went without for a while as I lived in a larger MSA (St. Paul / Minneapolis) with a decent public transit system (adding bike helped). Now I find driving after a tough day can be therapy; just sit back and go with the flow of traffic... you can't beat it. Sometimes, I kinda chuckle at the folks who get fed up in that situation.
Well, where I am at is not anywhere on par with say, NYC - our population density is much, much smaller so our public transport isn't as robust as those places - and other costs are most likely lower; as long as you realized you had to plan to go somewhere and spend a LOT of time this way, it was acceptable.
Now that I am back among the new car owning (gotsta get to work), I do appreciate the ability to go wherever I want whenever I want. Target just to shop? OK. Judge Crosby State Park for the weekend? OK. Drive to a music festival...?
That is nice, and almost worth the money.

I definitely hear you on that. I miss the freedom of a car, and the act of driving itself. As much as driving can be stressful in certain situations, it can also be relaxing in others. Sometimes I'd just get in the car and head out aimlessly on a state highway or country backroads to clear my head. My college was surrounded by the ghetto to the north and west and a humongous nature reserve to the east and south, so a car was essential to maintain any semblance of sanity.

When I was coming up, cars were the lounges of my teenage years; gas was cheap, and we would just get in the car and drive all night to different places. We would put easily 200 miles on a night. It was like a rolling rompus room. Anything goes...and it went.
I had to explain to my nieces and nephews what it took to find your friends on a Friday night before everyone had cellphones. You had to...OMG! drive around and look for their cars. Pool hall? No. Movie theater? No. I got a cell,.. oh, they don't ...Taco Bell? No. Are they still at work at Party USA? F*ck! Let's try Perkins, I want some coffee.
I just saw a lady get kicked out of hobby lobby. Not sure what she did but the manager was telling her to leave immediately, never come back to the store and some older lady was saying "she wasn't just rude, she was disgusting! There are children here!".
