I can hear you coming
We know what you’re after
We’re wise to you this time
We won’t let you kill the laughter
Lunatic fringe
In the twilight’s last gleaming
This is open season
But you won’t get too far
‘Cause you gotta blame someone
For your own confusion
But I’m on guard this time
Against your final solution
And because the movie is second only to Red Dawn in terms of affecting a young TSO, I give you the song with clip that will have me fired up all day:
Vote, or the Ocelot gets it.

Bonus points for knowing the album that came from.
Double bonus points if you actually owned the album/cassette from back in the early 80’s.
Geek points if you owned any of their other albums.
And oh yeah–Goth Death Blossom FTW!
Went with Dumptruck this time. Although the flattened penis made it a tough choice.
Holy shit. Vision quest? That was the go to movie for every high school wrestler if you needed motivation to drop pounds. Just fire up the Red Ryder, strap the burner on under the sauna suit, and get running like Swain.
But seeing it now… Loudon Swain pinned that fucking log- carrying monster LaChute with a single overhook and chin? That’s some fairy tale bullshit.
@3, I got so Pavlovian about that song I had to start limiting myself to only listening to it before actual matches. I would basically drool and just attack when I heard it.
Gunny Driveway FTW!!!
Off of the album “as far as siam”
By Canadian rockers Red Rider and I had the cassette
but no other albums, probably could not even name anonther song of theirs.
@5- Poe will be tough to beat in the quarters, But I’m with you.
After all… (in my best Dick Vitale voice) There’s only one place a Driveway goes! All the way to da house, baby!!
Man, I loved that movie, “Vision Quest.” I was 14 or 15 when it came out and our wrestling squad did the circle warm-up, quoted lines from the movie and well, it was just great. And the commentator above is right. We’d put on the sauna suits and crank that cassette to get warmed up.
Probably with the Breakfast Club in 1983, one of the best movies about suburban high school life. Wrestling scenes are okay. Never was able to get a fireman’s carry that easily but hey, it’s a movie.
Where is Lilyea in this stupid tournament? The guy has been lying about having a Ranger tab for years.. Funny how that never comes up, I guess stolen valor is ok if you know the guy.
@7–thanks a hell of a lot! Now I have to explain to my boss and IT Department why I need a new keyboard and monitor!
@9, you forgot a link in there somewhere. See when you say “X claimed Y” you follow it up with a link that shows where X claimed Y.
And right on cue, Dick2TheMouth has to pipe in. I’d love to know how you come up with this shit.
@6–Had that one and Neruda. Bought As Far As Siam when it came out on CD. Haven’t found Neruda on CD, or just haven’t looked that hard. Still know most of the songs off both albums if that tells you anything about my taste in music.
Trolling again, Knees2TheBreeze? Kinda lame, actually. But I guess not everyone has the skills to be effective even as a troll.
Isn’t it about time for ROS’s standing comment on Wittlessgel-ding? (smile)
Look up Lilyeas DA photo there is no Ranger tab on his uniform..
@15 logicfail.
You need to start by building a case file. So, begin with where Jonn claims to be a Ranger, then proceed to where you prove Jonn was not a Ranger, and then you have proven your point, subject to some sort of legally sufficient justification (self defense or defense of truth, etc in legal sense.)
So, show us where Jonn claimed to be a Ranger. Go ahead, we’ll wait.
LIfe’s not treating you too well is it DeWald?
Still can’t get a real job, eh?
Yeah, Knees2TheBreeze – I’d like to see that too. As I recall, I can’t recall ever seeing Jonn claim to have a Ranger tab either.
@8 Andy- me niether, but some people can make that happen. My team had a guy who could hit a fireman’s on anybody, from any distance, up to and including downtown. His secret weapons were having a slight build in a bulky weight class, and a face that people subconciously wanted to punch. It left most guys slapping for a tie-up that never occurred. Hell, he tech-falled a fish using nothing but high-crotch firemans’, because we flat-out told him that it couldn’t be done.
Man, I wish youtube and cell phones existed back then.
This might be the place to finally admit publicly that I stayed in a Holiday Inn Express, but I never claimed to be one.
If Jonn Lilyea is a poser, I’ll resign my membership in the “Space Shuttle Door Gunners Assn.”!!! I guess my membership is safe. ‘OnYourKnees’, go back to the DU sewer where you look normal and intelligent. You’re way out of your league here, boy.
@19 don’t want to hijack the thread but I was a single leg man myself. Wrestled in the 98 pound class and that’s why Vision Quest meant so much to myself and my buddies. we were starving ourselves. Didn’t eat Thanksgiving dinner for four years straight and was constantly running around pool and in sauna suits. But yeah, we had a guy who was 119 pounder, I think, who could hit a fireman’s all day long.
Yat Yas 1833: Damn, ya done it now amigo. You used one of those forbidden words that show racism. Prepare for incoming!
K2B, are you the guy posting from Union? Tell you what, take 78W to 287. Get off at the 202/206 circle. I’ll be at the Barnes and Noble there this afternoon. Do you talk as much shit in person?
Hondo, filling sand bags now! Heading to the grocery store directly to lay in a supply of “ham and eggs, chopped! (Youngsters, ask your elders about that one)
Lunatic Fringe… Nice… Rather appropriate for this blog (smiley face) … or perhaps for its more entertaining visitors.
Yat Yas 1833: What – no beans & mothers? (smile)
You guys obviously have a case of selective memory.. I can think of several times where Lilyea was talking about Ranger school.. I particularly remember one thread where some idiot named old trooper and nhsparky said Lilyea had gone to Ranger school, when someone correctly questioned his credentials.. They were arguing about the nasty nick obstacle course because Lilyea said some guy wasn’t SF and had never run the course… Like Lilyea would know anyway..
ROS has also claimed that Lilyea was a Ranger also… It speaks volumes how quite Lilyea is being, where is he to clarify everything?
Well, you should be able to find that article and post the link then. If it exists, of course.
We’re waiting. And if/when you do, we’ll see if it says what you claim.
Are you completely incapable of following simple instruction K2B? It really isn’t that hard to navigate the internet or perform a simple search… Way to validate yourself as a moron as if we needed any further proof.
Hondo, compadre, you’re showing your age!:)
OnYourKnees, recite your citations or admit you’re a bold faed liar. Nothing else will do. No blustering bullish*t, put up or STFU. I’m betting on the latter.
Something tells me that if john lilyea were a black man hondo and the others would be doing the search themselves..
I stand corrected a search wouldn’t be neccessary
The racism charge is not only cowardly, but also asinine. Apparently The Dude has never met Jonn’s wife and grandkids.
Hint: they aren’t white.
Also, waiting on that link.
Should be easy for you to find it, what with Jonn always talking about it, or so you assert.
@28–uh, yeah–no. Try again. I never claimed Jonn was a Ranger, in the Battalions, or anything of the sort. I’ve no more knowledge of the details of his career than I do of yours, although judging by your posts and your cowardice, I can take a pretty good fucking guess.
The Pud, be advised, when your mom and dad divorce, they’re gonna still be brother and sister. That has to be the only plausible reason for your ignorance. Jonn Lilyea is an honest, respectable man. Put down the kool-aid, put your aluminum hat back on and slink back into mom’s basement, you pig eyed bitch.
@35 are you talking about the same jonn that called a black service member an ape a couple weeks back?
One–that wasn’t Jonn. Two–that wasn’t intended to be imparted or received as a racial slur.
Three–go suck start a fucking shotgun. After you give Hondo your documents. What’s it been, five, six months now?
Still waiting on that link to where Jonn called himself a Ranger. Let’s stick to one asinine fight at a time.
it wasn’t jonn? who was it the fairy fucking god mother? you guys are covering that up I am sure you’re covering up all the ranger tab claims..
Knew a Ranger once. Oh, wait. That was a Forest Ranger. Or was it a Texas Ranger?
@41- search function, dickhead. Use it. Post links.
Uh, Dude??? YOU are the one failing to support your argument. That hardly means that anyone is covering up anything.
Pa-thetic. But utterly predictable. And typical. Your failure is translated in your neurotic nightmare as something someone is doing to you.
Sick, man. Really.
DUIDave (AKA “The Dude”) – you have no clue as to what race or ethnicity I am, fool. (Or what gender, for that matter.) You appear to be assuming I’m white, probably because I’m conservative. Or perhaps you’re just staying in-character and acting like a horse’s ass simply to be consistent.
Here’s a test for ya, Docless One: how many of these well-known conservative public figures are white?
1) Larry Elders
2) JC Watts
3) Alan Keyes
4) Thomas Sowell
5) Clarence Thomas
6) Ken Blackwell
7) Michael Steele
8) LaShawn Barber
9) Lynn Swann
10) Condaleeza Rice
11) Allen West
I’m still waiting for you to send copies of your CIB and SF-tab orders, by the way. Haven’t you found them yet? Or are you having trouble coming up with passable fakes?
Hondo–I hear that maybe Ken Aden can loan him a set of orders. Then again, maybe not.
NHSparky: five months on Monday.
Sure is taking him a long time to find those three pieces of paper (third is a redacted DD214 to verify his claim of Afghanistan vet status).
I don’t know what you’re talking about with documents.. After I got out of the Army I became a pacifist and have no use for those things.. But you guys can keep your heads in the sand over your friends racism.. I am gonna go smoke a fattie and take a nap.. Enjoy the rest of your work day dickwads!!
Dud, does your mom and dad, brother & sister, know you’re on the Internet? I absolutely cannot fathom your level of ignorance! Answer a simple question. Recite ANY citation that will prove Mr. Lilyea has claimed Ranger status. Cite a magazine article, newspaper article, post a link to any internet post where he has claimed such. Put up or re-descend into your delusional little world in mom’s basement, ya know, she might also be your aunt, cousin, sister and grandmother.
Do the Airsoft associations produce DD214’s, Hondo? That’s the only way Dude/Dave/whoever going to produce one.
“Knees2TheBreeze.” Huh. When he jumped out of a tree onto a trampoline, maybe. Not otherwise.
