New KIDS On The Block???????

Anybody remember these guys? This was the group that paved the way for the boy bands we all hate. Obviously this is not a topic on fans because I'm almost positive nobody here likes this crap. Working at Wal-Mart they have these commercials constantly repeating on the TVs placed throughout the store. Every couple of weeks a commerical showcases a particular artist (never anyone good) and I saw a group of older guys but they were performing like a boy band. I thought it was wierd until I saw an advertisement at the store for a NKOTB reunion. Is it just me or is there something wrong with a bunch of guys in their 40s dancing like idiots and calling themselves Kids. If they want to relive their glory days, hey thats up to them but lets get some truth in advertising. Something like Old Farts On The Block would be more appropriate.

I made up some lyrics that made me crack up (the first verse to the tune of The Right Stuff):

Living on my pension
Arthritis in my hips
Cataracts in my eyes
Wrinkled finger tips
I'm wearing my depends
Plus my hearing aid
Have my walker and coin puse
I have my Medicade

I guess it was only funny to me.

Oh yeah New kids on the block my favorate...

It's no worse that some idiots that we got over here who call themselves BOYzone, middle aged me with kinds and families.

Gonna move this to the Unsound Mind area before some members get their panties in a twist.

Good, because I realized soon after I made the thread that it would have been better here.

You're a part of this, Locky?

NKOTB

I wonder where Sax is with his rare first album plug on this one...

Back in Junior High, my sister and my cousin (12 and 13 at the time) went to see these fools at the Providence civic center and got interviewed by the local news station when they exitied the concert. My cousin actually broke out the tape a few weeks ago at her and her husbands housewarming party. It was a good laugh.

My sister was huge fans of them back in the day. They did nothing for me however.

The weird thing is that chicks are diggin' 'em again. Old and young! Their tour has actually done very well.

When they first came out i was barely starting to get into metal.

The first and worst boy band.

Not true!! Menudo pre-dated the New Squids by at least half a decade, probably more!

I was playing cards Saturday night with a bunch of my buddies when a NKOTB song came on the radio...

No wait, that's a story for another time.

Couldn't be any worse than how a friend of mine came out


we were chatting one day bout women and stuff and I mentioned that it's weird how many women dislike giving BJ's, he agreed then replied with "Yea I know and they are lovely"

What a way to exit.
