Interesting points and I have thought about this at times, too.

cRaZyTMG comments on Nov 19, 2020:

I agree with the analysis, but I think the main reason for the decline of the historical "epic" is more simple. Technology has "instantized" gratification. If a medium does not release dopamine in the first 5 mins it's "boring" A 600+ page novel isn't going to get read. Our education system, ...

KeithThroop comments on Oct 27, 2020:

If you are looking for something a bit different, my wife really likes Louis L'Amour, a writer of Western novels here in America. She especially likes his Sackett series, which follows generations of a family, beginning in Wales, if memory serves, their coming to early America, and their eventually ...

@iThink First off, that unplugged version was awesome, never heard it before, ty 2nd, when I bought that album it had no title, it was simply listed as Pink Floyd: Man Shaking Hands With Man On Fire, I shit you not, I assume it was eventually titled (or renamed) but that's how I will forever think of it, my next post will be from that very same.....just found out it was called wishyou were here, anyway, let's goooo

I saw Alice in 1977 at Sydney showground along with 40,000 others. He had a very advanced light show for the time. A movie screen that showed them playing and then they stepped out of the screen onto the stage, amazing, even ended with a fireworks display.

MikeHunt replies on Nov 16, 2020:

@guru a (possibly amusing aside) some chick at work (smoke show, hot damn) challenged me to do a 5 K charity run. Did the math, hmm thats roughly 3 miles. Said "sure durr heh heh slobber" So I started to train. We had two months before the event in Central Park. Hit the Stairmaster an hour a night. Treadmill on incline running top speed, lower the incline every 15 min, take a breath and raise it again, over and over at least 90 min, drenched in sweat but I knew one thing, She was never gonna beat me to the Finish Line, don't care if we came in last, I surely was gonna place before her, though the view of her behind was not a problem Long story short, the day of the run she called me to cancel, some bullshit, her husband just got out of jail, her sister's giving birth, some crap. All that 5K trainiing for naught. Well, guess it wasn't naught, I was in great shape but I digress

That's... very good... 🙄

Okay, not as complex as Segways, I'm just talking a simple shopping carriage. They are way to short for me, ending bent to the right if it's not kicking the back of my foot when dragging one, So I'm bullshitting with a neighbor, he happens to be a welder, the next day that handle was extended at least 3 inches, I happily wheeled that fucker just to bring back a case of Stella (nice beer)
