Worst!: ii LinncoM
Magnuson
Worst Jukebox in Lincoln:
Stormle's Jukebox has a few good
songs, but they haven't been changed
in years.
Worst New Hand In Lincoln:
Sidekick. Chosen for their pathetic
attempts to be like the Finnstcs. How
could a band pick a worse group to
emulate? But don't despair, Sidekick,
you've won the "Best Hairdo" and
"Most Creative Use of Dippity-Do in
Lincoln" as well.
Worst Pinball Machine in Lin
coln: Speak Easy, found at 0'Rourke's
Lounge, 121 N. 14th St., featuring "Adda-ball."
When the roulette wheel spins,
the tiny silver ball might stop on the
"Add a-ball" slot. But more often it
stops on the "Subtract-a-ball" slot. You
conceivably can play one ball for a
quarter.
Anton
call to home on hold; at the same time,
my mother at home received a call,
thus putting me in a holding pattern. I
know that the Call Waiting innovation
Is limited as far as the amount of time
one can suspend another party, but
what would've happened If the parties
Interrupting my conversation with my
mother were interrupted by another
party with Call Waiting? Once again
the possibilities are endless well,
kind of.
Worst Fad:
Trying to out-dress the kid at the
counter of a local record store Is push
ing It a bit. You see girls and boys walk
in with their paisley skateboards, their
tie-dye sweat shirts, and those cute
little Birkenstock earth shoes. I hate
all of those things. Paisley went out
with Nixon, tie-dye is cool that is, if
you used to be a heavy-metal ninja and
now listen to surf music, but these
Birkenstocks ... if I wanted to walk on
the Earth, I'd just take off my shoes.
Worst Sports on TV:
I hate seeing the Iowa Girls Basket
ball Championships on Nebraska TV.
One-man luge is bad, too. So is chess.
Jones Average or something. It blinks,
so you expect the time to come up
eventually. I wandered around a whole
day thinking the weather was going to
plummet 25 degrees and that I was 13
hours late for class.
There's a big clock on the Roper and
Sons funeral home sign right on 0
Street. Right by the mortuary. I'm least
likely to want to know the time when
I'm passing a mortuary. To me this
clock Is a heinous cruelty to all motor
ists. Not to mention insensitive.
Runner-up: Apparently the clock that
stands above the Clocktowcr Shopping
Plaza has no hands and hasn't worked
since day one. False advertising?
Worst Reason to Remember Lin
coin:
Charles Starkweather.
Worst Park:
Airpark and Rampark. I'm always
disappointed when I go to these two
parks. At the first, you're forced to pic
nic on the runway. The second may
have the best slide in town, but they
don't keep it nearly slick enough.
Worst Message Left on an Ans
wering Machine:
"Your test results are positive, please
call me immediately."
Worst Generic Item:
The generic dog.
Worst New Invention:
These new hydraulic trash cans have
me sweating at the nape. Trash cans,
found in restaurants, that have sensi
touch hydraulic lids what will they
think of next?
What's the purpose of these clever
new devices? Where were these things
test-marketed? When will they be
available for the home? My mom would
love one, I'm sure of it. I'd like to
reverse the polarity on one and watch
someone's arm get chopped off.
Worst New Phone Expense:
Call Waiting is an interesting con
cept. I recently called home and had a
call come in and was forced to put my
Lieurance McMurtry
Worst State Fair Booth or Dis
play: Inside the live native Nebraskan fish
hut, Miss Nebraska will tell you about a
trout-breeding station in upstate Ne
braska, every hour on the hour. Should
only take you half an hour to get a good
look at all the fish, though.
There's also a booth that sells Ital
ian food. It specializes in a sandwich
called the "Guinea Grinder." Probably
run by the KKK.
Worst Public Clock:
First Federal Lincoln (the north
side) has one of those things dangling
from its awning that looks like a bank
clock. Many an afternoon I've spent
waiting for the thing to show the time.
Instead it shows an incomprehensible
series of numbers known as the Dow
Worst Place to See Drifters, Ser
ial Killers, and Escapees:
Mid-south area, down Normal Boule
vard. Houses all look like castles, com
plete with two-limo garages.
Worst Place In Lincoln to Get
Hit by a Car:
C'mon, what are you, morbid?
Worst Bar to Get Picked Up In:
P.O. Pear's The grandaddy of 'em
all, as far as pickup bars go, but eve
ryone just stands around scowling like
they want to pick your pockets or they
think you wrecked their car. Except, of
course, for the few silly white folks who
haphazardly try to dance. (Heloise's
Helpful Hint of the week If you don't
like the song, DONT dance, no matter
how good she looks or how drunk you
are. You still won't look "cool," but you
won't look near so damn silly.)
