I was at the local bookstore today doing "research" (in other words, reading their magazines in the aisle!) when I spotted this book in on one of the racks...the cover had an old-timey, 50s greaser type of scene with some hussie laying on a bed and and some Fonzie guy walking out of the bedroom! It was called the "Out of the Fridge, Dad", or something like that! I leafed through it and got a laugh or two from it! It has slang phrases, along with their meanings, and lists the source (old movies, books, etc) for them!! Some of the Drugstore Cowboys out there might wanna hunt it down for when they post their intros! What next? A Rockabilly Road Atlas showing where all the good greaser bars are???
Did it have a height gage for pomps? Or a template for cuffing Levi's? How bout a black primer sample coupon? Jay
...Man I must be losing my touch.... I cant come up with anything to say.... I guess Im overwhelmed with options... HAHAHAHAHA
drug store cowboy is an awesome movie fathack,,while checking out the magazines,,,did you notice RF's chev in LOWRIDER MAGAZINE
Dang i try to do a search on the name of that book and came up with nothing.That would be sweet to see that book i think it would be a grat laugh
Seriously... Ask KUSTOMBUILDER! I bet he's got it! Sorry MIKE... had to say it... You do have the West Coast Von Dutchers tattoo now!
If you got a kick outta that one, you'll dig "The Hipster Handbook" which hilariously (but somehow accurately) categorizes an infinite number of cliques and phrases. Even has a Hipster Quiz. I flunked it. Your book sounds funny, gotta check it out.
What next? A Rockabilly Road Atlas showing where all the good greaser bars are??? [/ QUOTE ] funny you should say that Hack... just yesterday i came across a book called "Tiki Roadtrip" by James Teitelbaum which actually claims to be a guide to tiki bars and restaurants across the country... hmmm... "Teitelbaum has also devised his own, admittedly subjective, rating scale, the TiPSY factor (Tikis Per Square Yard), which encompasses more than Tikis per se. He also recognizes items such as stuffed sea creatures, tropical-themed paintings (the more black velvet, the better), fishing nets and the like. And he's developed a classification system for the sites he covers: Any type of tiki establishment, but don't bother (Type 0); classic Tiki bars, including Florida Tiki bars (Type I); fine or casual dining with Polynesian atmosphere, e.g. Trader Vics (Type II); Chinese restaurants with tiki lounge (Type III); Tiki "meccas" preferably with a floor show and lush gardens, e.g. Mai Kai in Fort Lauderdale, one of Teitelbaum's favorites (Type IV); Neo-Tiki, a la Rock-a-Tiki Lounge in Chicago (Type V); and other, offbeat Tiki establishments such as mini-golf courses or motels anything with a "Polynesian Pop flavor" (Type VI)."
my wife is crazy for all things tiki and yes, we do have velvet Elvis hanging in the living room... anyway, hope this isn't too off topic and sparks some interest with some of you. later skaters!
Is there a dictionary I can get so I can figure out just what the hell that Grand Master Funk or Flash or what ever the hell his name is, is talking about??
You kats reside in squaresville. Grandmaster Flash... I like his mixing, he's good, but as far as car shows go it's pretty damn lame. But, i've only seen it once, and they showed some guy cutting the shit out of a vintage 65 Impala seat with a knife. That damn near made me sick, so I didn't care much for it after that...
I didn't know what a "Scenester" was...! I just thought it was another example of poor spelling of the word "Sinister" (sp?)...! Man do I feel dumb...!
hey rocket88 , there is a dictionary out there for you. I stole it form the library YEARS ago. Its call "the Dictionary of Afro-American slang". The thing is HILARIOUS!! I cant remember you printed it, but if you can find it, you'll die laughing.
I'll have to try and find it. I tried watchin' that dude again on Sunday, didn't understand half of what he was saying!
It's a different scene, but how about some "Beat Speak" Maynard G Krebs' Guide guide to beat speak For all you jive apple put ons, you don't need to be square! Turn on and dig these words baby... They're the most!
uh apple what? Maybe Jima will win the book.(kidding) So does tell you when to get a hair cut and how to roll your Luckys up your shirt sleeve? Damm I cant talk right maybe I should get one.....
