Re: AC/DC to the West Lot.........rumors
Nice find, CAS! 50 priority points will be awarded to your ThM account for the AC/DC Meet 'n Greet this fall!Originally Posted by CAS4127
And it gives us a chance to blow our own horn a little bit around here, which we never do.It's a little known fact that we here at Thunderstruck Makers were actually heavily involved in, and as the "meat" of, this famous shark study! (When it comes to AC/DC, we'd do it for free, but they offered us a modest stipend for ThM and some slightly scratched AC/DC discs......so we jumped on it)!
To test their crazy musical theories, they were to lower us down into a big tank teeming with nasty, starving sharks. With one arm slathered in bloody chum and the other arm strappped to an underwater music player, you'll be proud to know that ThM acquitted themselves with great courage and distinction during this legendary AC/DC research!
The scientists actually started by testing the sharks (torturing, was our opinion) with Disco and Rap, but none of our ThM people wanted to be killed with that crap on their person, so we all declined those opportunities. Can you imagine the embarrassing obituary? "Met his demise with Barry Gibb on his mind". THAT'S gotta be a long stay in purgatory, for sure! Youch!
Then later on (talk about a suicide mission!), one of our boys actually had the balls to volunteer to go down with "Barry Manilow" strapped into his player (we surmise the young lad had been dipping heavily into our private stash of Thunderstruck Tequila that day), and he was completely and impressively devoured in record time! Wow!! That was one theory we were especially interested in, and it was proved beyond a shadow of a doubt!!And we never liked the guy anyway..... so.
Finally, dammit, they got to the Classic Rock portion of the experiment. After a unfortunate accident when some poor bastard met his demise to "I Was Made For Loving You" by KISS, we had arrived at the real test of our heroic activity - AC/DC's iconic body of work. Our brave boys were in a lather to volunteer for every song known to the great Aussie Band's massive library.
Well, of course, 'Thunderstruck' was up first, and NOBODY was going to get ripped to bloody pieces with Thunderstruck in tow, if it wasn't going to be ME! So, down I went, and I'd be lying if I said it wasn't without a little trepidation (please forgive my momentary lack of faith!) OR that I didn't look especially fetching in that skimpy damn Speedo! But in the end, nobody was down there (in the grips of certain death) longer! And although everyone thinks I'm crazy.........I swear that at least one of those man-eaters looked like he was simulating a freaking air-guitar! Needless to say, all AC/DC tunes eventually passed with flying colors!
So...................................
The next time you people are hopelessly stranded and bobbing in the ocean...........and you just happen to have your underwater player strapped on with AC/DC in it...............
...............you can thank Thunderstruck Makers for giving you another chance at life and a Bison tailgate/football game!
