S.O.B.S. The Pizza Poll Incident.

This past Sunday (7-23-06) I decided to take my video camera downtown. I ended up interviewing quite a few people about pizza and I also had a great time. I think some of this is VERY FUNNY and I even make fun of myself at the end.

WARNING. THERE IS A LOT OF PROFANITY.
If you don't want to hear it don't listen! I was going to bleep it out but quite frankly I haven't gotten good enough with video editing to do that yet.  It took me 2 days of messing around just to finish this.

Joey D. and JPSHAGGY Strike Again...
Well, someone just submitted a pretty interesting picture.
Personally, I think JPSHaggy may be on to something.
In my opinion licking Joey D's forehead might be a better option than eating his pizza.

Superman Returns @ Bay Drive-In
Movie Review by Johnny Truesdell
(7/06/06)

 

So, I went to the Bay Drive-In to watch Superman Returns. Basically this movie starts off 5 years after the 2nd Superman Movie. Apparently they wanted to forget about the 3rd and 4th Superman Movies and with good reason. (Does anyone remember the Nuclear Man from Superman IV ?) That was an awesome movie, NOT!

1st off, I have to say the special effects in Superman Returns are pretty sweet and all the flying sequences look amazing. There were a few sketchy bits but for the most part it all looked pretty damn cool. The beginning of the story was a bit random with Lex Luther banging some 100 year old broad so he could get out of prison and also get her fortune when she croaked. That whole part was pretty stupid, but then again I did laugh a bunch of times because it was so gross. Seriously though, it would have been way better if some bad ass super villain helped him escape or something. Then again most of Superman Villains I can recall wouldn't really fit in with this movie so I guess some horny old lady on her death bed just made more sense? Eventually old Lex cooks up some scheme to destroy half the world using technology from Krypton, and sell condos, and blah blah blah. That part was sort of really stupid too. As the movie went on there were a ton of great action scenes and of course plenty of get to know superman scenes that I could have done without. The guy playing Superman looked so much like Christopher Reeves when I first saw him appear at the Daily Planet that I was honestly a little creeped out. Mostly cause we all know that poor bastard Christopher Reeves is taking a Dirt Nap right now. That being said, Kevin Spacey who is usually a bit of a nimrod actually did a good job playing Lex Luthor which surprised me. To be fair he wasn't given much of a role this time around either. I mean please, they had him create and advanced city that looked more like Newberry's Gravel Pit!

Towards the end of the movie the the vehicle battery died so I ended up trying to listen to the radio from the people next to me who were sitting in lawn chairs. How frigin typical, and yes, I am a dumb ass for letting the battery die, but since I was busy eating Delicious Drive-In Cheeseburgers I think maybe I deserve some slack. Regardless, the ending seemed somewhat tolerable for what I could hear of it and after waiting 15 minutes or so the vehicle started up so it's all good. I really didn't want to borrow their battery booster and look like more of an idiot if I could help it.

Despite all that I still give the movie an 8 on a scale of 1 to 10 though I am tempted to give it a 7.
I give the Drive-In Cheeseburgers an 8 as well. They were especially good this time around. If you haven't noticed I can't shut up about them. :)

The bottom line is everyone should probably go see this movie. It is just one of those films you have to go see.
I think just about everyone will enjoy Superman Returns on some level.

5.00 Admission and 2.00 Cheeseburgers !! How the hell can you beat that?
The Bay Drive-In is one of the best local business's going and everyone should support that place.
They improve the place every year and have cheap prices. Abay.com recommends it without question.

I would also like to add that the people next to me in Lawn Chairs left about 6 Square Feet of trash where they were sitting. I came this close to giving them a piece of my mind. What the hell is wrong with people ? Have some respect! Would it really have killed you pick that trash up and put it in a barrel especially since you were about 20 feet from one ?

 Fireworks Report (Night # 1)

Well, the 1st night of fireworks are over. They lasted about 20-25 minutes. Some of the people I talked to were disappointed. Other's said it started off really slow, then got pretty cool towards the end, and there was some new stuff they hadn't seen before.

Nick Schaefer submitted this short cell phone video with some interesting commentary.

July 3rd & 4th   Fireworks over Boldt Castle in celebration of Independence Day

Apparently this year for some reason we are having fireworks on two nights instead of just one. I am not sure why, (Big Donation Maybe?) but that's the deal in case anyone is wondering. I guess that means two nights of random people in town instead of just one. We'll have to watch and see how this two night deal works out.

The Autograph Signing Incident ( S.O.B.S. REPORT ! )

Well, along comes another S.O.B.S. and we decided to do one of the most stupid events ever. The Autograph Signing!.  It ended up happening yesterday (Sunday the 2nd) at Skiffs. (Sorry we didn't announce the actual date beforehand but it sorta happened spontaneously) ....It was a crazy fun time. 2GUYSFROMABAY we're on the seen and Captain Fat Bastard even got in on it signing 7 limited edition prints. Those babies are gonna be worth some money on Ebay someday. LOL.... Then Kiesznowski got out of control and started signing everything he could get his hands on and that includes Joey. D's forehead. Actually maybe his wife Vonna did that one. (We're thinking about renaming this site to the Adventures of Drunk Joey D since he seems to have a lot of drunken adventures downtown lately) ...... Continuing on...After a while everyone started writing shit on the back of  everyone else's shirts. I signed some Canadian Lady's Butt (WITH A MARKER, WITH A MARKER). LOL.. We also ended up with a Team Dirty Abay.com Ball Cap being signed by DOTCOM, JPSHAGGY, DICK HIRSH, BIG KIESZNOWSKI, HAMBONE, CAPTAIN FAT BASTARD, and other local celebrities. (YES, EVERYONE IN THIS TOWN HAS A CRAZY NICKNAME, WAIT TILL YA MEET CRITTER AND THE VARMIT). Moving on, it is actually pretty cool looking with all those signatures on it. I guess we will have to figure out something cool to do with it like maybe give it away or whatever which we planned to do but it just never happened. Also, check out the HOT ASIAN (I think) chick with JPSHAGGY. What a sweetheart she was and what a set of legs. Unfortunately due to playing about 4-5 days on the road JPSHAGGY had to go home after his show for some Beauty Sleep so he missed the rest of the days events. Perhaps he is one of the Lucky ones because a lot of us felt like TOTAL SHIT by the end of the night. I personally am thinking about not drinking until like August.. BAHAHAHAHA

AND HAMMY, MIKE AND I ARE SORRY WE CROSSED YOUR FACE OUT ON YOUR POSTER WHEN YOU WERE LATE FOR THE AUTOGRAPH DEAL. WE LOVE YA !, WE KNOW YOUR A SENSITIVE LITTLE BUGGER AND WE'RE SORRY. LOL



These pictures are all from my camera phone. Damn, that thing takes nice pictures for being a phone.
It's a Verizon Motorola E815 if anyone is wondering. Then again you probably don't give a shit.

2guysfromabay may be doing an autograph signing down to Skiffs Bar during the 4th of July Extended Weekend Time Period, Actual date to be announced because we still have to get it cleared by George Jefferson's (I mean Hammy's) manager.. To get a Glossy Autographed picture all you have to do is buy them a drink when they (Need/Don't Need) one and then we are going to see how hammered they get. It should be real interesting, Abay style! Usually when we bring these two out for an event we need crowd control. The women just won't leave them alone.

Just be on the lookout for these two and be sure to say hi.
