Now that is a fisting reference, the unfortunate thing is the placement.

All joking aside, this one was selling illegal guns back in high school and now does something mafia related. I think i just lucked out being goomah practice.
This is a testament to TAG's quality. Imagine lasting all those years after falling off a truck.

BR(I cannot imagine why anyone would pay significant money (meaning in BRC cheapskate world: more than two digits) for a watch, or sunglasses (or a lot of other things, but, given my complete inability to not lose or sit on those two items, they particularly baffle me). The best watches the Mr. and my father ever had, per them, were fake rolexes purchased in Kuala Lumpur and South-Central LA respectively. My father's lasted for 30 years and kept excellent time. The Mr.'s stepfather crammed his real rolex in a drawer and stole the Mr.'s fake because the $15,000 watch was a POS. Grand fountain pens make about as much sense to me as expensive watches, but no one claims any sort of superior utility justification for fountain pens.)C

Try the Dead's Dicks Picks 22 (rEdiculous) and Two From the Vault (I prefer the 67-69 Pigpen Cryptical>Other>St. Steven>Eleven phase). 22 is mind blowing. They weave a China Cat through the whole thing and tie it up with the best Good Morning Schoolgirl ever (in fact, the ONLY GMLS ever).
I am a love of the Dick's Picks/From the Vault discs, but Europe '72 will always hold a special place in my heart because of a magical weekend, a little teeeeny dot, and a girl named Catherine.

Ahhhhh, great times, great times.

  • Update:
    RCO Live-Performance CD Available !
    12/21/2003
    A Special Note From Toni...

    In early November of this year (2003) Daryl and I performed a benefit concert for the Reno Chamber Orchestra (RCO). The concert was held at the University of Nevada, Reno, at Nightingale Hall, a lovely, intimate 600 seat theatre.

    The concert was a fabulous success, and raised much-needed funds for the RCO. Daryl and I arranged to have the concert professionally recorded, with proceeds from sales of the CDs to benefit the RCO.

    A recording of the entire concert is now available in a two CD set. In the first CD, I sing many of my favorite songs written by great American composers such as George Gershwin and Johnny Mercer, accompanied by pianist and alto sax player, Matt Catingub, and bassist Hans Halt. Many of the songs I chose were requested by audience members in the weeks before the concert. Some of the songs on the first CD include MAKIN’ WHOOPEE, ZIPADEEDOODAH, SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY, I GOT IT BAD AND THAT AIN’T GOOD, SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME, and FOR ALL WE KNOW.

    The second CD begins with four great standards, which were among the special requests I received, including Charlie Chaplin’s SMILE, and George Gershwin’s OUR LOVE IS HERE TO STAY. Then I introduce the “Special Guest Star” for the evening, Captain of the Keyboards, DARYL DRAGON!!! As usual, all bets are off once Daryl takes the stage! We performed many C&T favorites, including MUSKRAT LOVE, DO THAT TO ME ONE MORE TIME, LOVE WILL KEEP US TOGETHER, and COME IN FROM THE RAIN. We also did a version of BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATERS, a special request from an audience member. We closed the concert with the song I wrote to close each one of our television shows, WE NEVER REALLY SAY GOODBYE. Some of you may remember that one.

    Both CDs include everything heard from the stage that night, including all my talk about the songs, Daryl’s comments, and audience reaction, in addition to the music. It is the ONLY LIVE RECORDING we have ever done. I think you would really enjoy it, and the proceeds from the CD sales go to one of our favorite musical organizations here in northern Nevada, the Reno Chamber Orchestra.

    The RCO Benefit Concert two-CD set is available only through the Reno Chamber Orchestra. It is not available in stores. Please call Fifi or Scott at the RCO office at 775 348 9413 for details. Hope you enjoy the concert!!!
It's not punk, but I knew that if we all chimed in eventually you, too, would fess up to your favorite.

The way your dad looked at it, this watch was your birthright. He'd be damned if any of the slopes were gonna get their greasy yellow hands on his boy's birthright. So he hid it in the one place he knew he could hide something: his ass. Five long years, he wore this watch up his ass. Then when he died of dysentery, he gave me the watch. I hid this uncomfortable piece of metal up my ass for two years. Then, after seven years, I was sent home to my family. And now, little man, I give the watch to you.

The FB Profiles say that only ABBA could use that.

But so does a Timex.

What I am knocking is how Tag has marketed itself into a new price category. Much like Absolute vodka, it is justifying high prices based on clever marketing. The product remains a solid product, but its not deserves the price its getting.

But I guess that could be said for a lot of watches. Unless you're getting a crazy high end patek or Audemars or some such thing, you're proabably buying an overpriced mass-produced item. Rolex is a huge joke. They've been pumping out a solid, mid level quality watch at outrageous prices for years. I dig old school cartier Panthers, but they are wickedly marked up. And those Dunhill and Montblanc watches... I don't get that at all.

I've heard from a jeweler friend that IWC is supposed to be the most durable item out there, fwiw. But they're pretty damn expensive. But they look really nice. Very conservative lines.

BTW, whats with those Panerais or whatever they're called? Those things are too big for a gorilla. They look pretty silly on the average man's wrist.
I hear there are some very reliable $4 digital plastic watches at Target. Barely marked up at all. You should snap one of those great values up. I'm sure it would help with the ladies too.
