I've got a couple of these cards. 1991 was a landmark year.

Great 1991 Albums:

The Jesus Lizard - Goat
Slint - Spiderland
Nirvana - Nevermind
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
Teenage Fanclub - Bandwagonesque
Pavement - Slanted & Enchanted

Some of those I like (a lot) more than others...
...but it was a banner year.

Met him a few months back. He owns a sausage and meats company here in Atlanta (kielbasa is outstanding) and he came into my local bar to convince them to buy his lamb hambugers. He gave me a sample. Very tasty.

And I always thought Ricky Henderson was a fantastic power name.

Longest name is MLB, as I recall. Last I knew, he was living in Winder, GA, and having a tile bathroom put in by... ME. No shit. (That was 12 years ago...)

That's the name of the leader of the fat kids camp on a Mr. Show sketch. I never knew it was real person.
