MAIN THREAD: Spinal Tap 41st Anniversary! and General Discussion

Image
 So, since it's the 41st Anniversary of the movie This is Spinal Tap (and since I just went and watched it on the big screen tonight. Score!) this week's thread is about one of my favorite cult classic flicks.  Oh, and also all the random insanity you crazy wackos post on a daily basis. 😆 David St. Hubbins (named after St. Hubbins, the patron saint of quality footwear), Nigel Tufnel (lead guitar!  These go to 11!), Derek Smalls, Ian Faith, Marty DeBergi, and the rest of the wacky crew.  All make up a great menagerie of characters that touch your hearts and tickle your funny bone. Where else can you see Billy Crystal in a cameo as a mime, Paul Shaffer as Artie Fufkin of Polymer Records, and a pre-Nanny Fran Drescher among others?  For those who don't know, it's a "mockumentary" released in 1984, where a film crew follows around a UK rock/metal band on their North American tour which is full of comedic mishaps while on the road.  From cancelations, to a pod ...

OLD THREAD: Zombie Apocalypse is Coming! and General Discussion

Image
 Pi$$y came up with a fun idea for a thread.  The zombie apocalypse is coming, who are the three people you want on your team in order to survive? This is a pretty good, light hearted question to have some fun with. It can be anybody, real or fictional, but not superheroes, though, that's fn cheating.  It'd be too easy to just pick Lobo, Superman, and Wolverine or some shit. So they have to be real, "realistic", "normal", or non powered types, like......  idk......  Blackbeard, Negan, and fucking Magnum P.I. or something. Whatever.  No OP shit.  Yes, even Alf, Johnny 5, Zorro, Braveheart, or Ivan Drago, but not Homelander, a Predator, Godzilla (looking at you, Mitch), Gandalf, Space Ghost, or the Terminator.  You get the gist. So have some fun, pick your team, and survive the zombie hordes!   And talk about any other damn topic ya want.

OLD THREAD: Pirates! And General Discussion

Image
 So.....  Since I've been watching Black Sails on Starz, I decided to delve into the world of pirates this week. The AI overview on Google gave me some good summations which I'll put here considering, for a number of decades now at least, we have glamorized and romanticized pirates in many forms, to the point of even having a recent Disney kid's show made about them.  "The real story of pirates in history is far more complex and nuanced than popular portrayals suggest. While the "Golden Age of Piracy" (roughly 1650s-1730s) is often romanticized, it was a period marked by both daring exploits and brutal realities. Pirates were not always the swashbuckling heroes of fiction, but rather individuals motivated by factors like poverty, political instability, and the lure of wealth." I am guilty of enjoying the glossed over image of pirates that our current society holds.  Jack Sparrow, for instance, is a good example. Long John Silver is another. And so on and...

OLD THREAD: SPAM-A-MANIA 2: SPAM HARDER and General Discussion

Image
Well, I got stuck at work because the new custodian wound up being a fucking dipshit so I don't have a lot of time or energy to dive into a topic.   So............   Because of that we're just gonna have a free for all again.   SPAM-A-MANIA 2! We all know how this goes.  And, honestly, it's basically the same as any other day of random conversations, just without a specific topic to add to the discussion.  So without further a-dieu (to paraphrase Kenny Omega), get on it, get wild, get crazy, and talk about shit as only the Garden can. Because we're so fucking awesome.

OLD THREAD: Belated PiTG Anniversary! And General Discussion.

Image
 Well, I totally botched this, but........  HAPPY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY, PITG!! Yes, it's true.  It's damn true.  As of May 30th, your beloved Pandemonium in the Garden has been around an entire year! We've had some great people come through this place and make it their online home away from home, and have had some great discussions and memories. Yes, we've also dealt with some of the lowest form of scum to ever infest the internet, but those losers are long gone and this place is so much the better for it.  But that's neither here nor there.  This is a thread for celebration, this is a thread for positivity, and a thread for the hopes of many more great years to follow. So let's try to get some more great peeps to join the ranks and grow into an even bigger "best site to hang out in all the Disqusverse". Before I go, I just want to thank everybody who's made this site the awesome hangout that it is.  Give each other, and yourselves, a round of appl...

OLD THREAD: Technology. And General Discussion

Image
 So I figured the new topic could be a general one on technology.  It came to me as I'm thinking about what overhyped bullshit 5G has been. Anywho.....  Whether it's televisions, cell phones, computers, access to music, streaming, weapons, AI, transportation, whatever the case may be, it's all fair game here. Technology has really surged over the course of the last few decades.  Some of it has had a detrimental effect, whether intentional or not, and some has afforded humankind with some amazing, beneficial advancements.  Being an entertainment buff, a few things I'm really glad I got to experience are the awesome tvs we have today.  To put it in perspective, I started out as a kid with barely two channels, watching shows on a little, red, 13 inch black and white tv with a dial knob channel changer with the built in extendable antenna.  (I know the tv in the pic isn't red, but it was the closest I could find to what I had. So, as Shawn and Gus would sa...
