Cyburbans 🧐 Post a lie about the person above you

^ voiced the role of Ted in the animated "Bill & Teds Excellent Adventures"
 
^ given the choice between duck season and rabbit season, steadfastly chooses rabbit season without ever changing his mind.
 
^ saw The Germs in 1979 at the Starwood club in Los Angeles, while in town for a summer internship with the City of Compton Computer Mapping division, back when "GIS" was non graphical user interface punch card tape-drive computers that spat out dot matrix paper. One day JNA brought Darby Crash and Lorna Doom to the Lab after work and they made a map of all the illegal DIY venues in L.A. & OC that would still let the Germs play. Because J & Darby were on such good terms, Darby waited until after the map was made to trash the lab and ride his skateboard indoors.

Not far from the truth-
I had a cartography class where we wrote basic commands move/draw to a flat bed plotter with a rapdiograph pen in a scrolling bar
and
had a resource/site analysis class where we used many punch cards to create a Havard School of Design over strike grid pattern on green bar paper.
Yes I am that old, now git off my lawn.
 
^ showed up to his 197X cartography classes channeling Black Sabbath, wearing black bell bottoms, all black wide collar shirt with silver upside down cross and long hair down to his butt.

Thats so based! I love early microcomputing it was so cute compared to the information overload of today.
 
When put on the spot to "be entertaining" his go-to is reciting "how much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood." Feels oddly irked as it's seldom as well received as he thinks it deserves to be.

That would be completely true. She didn't start recording until after 8 tracks were discontinued.
