Kansas City Barbeque - San Diego
So this is how old I really am.....
I'm in San Diego for my umpteenth time, But find out about this KC BBQ Where they filmed "Top Gun". (Guy #2 has probably been there, but never shared this with me) Well, seeing as how I am the "Iceman" ( A story that cannot be told on this site due to liability issues), I cruise on over . Here it is after midnite on a sunday night but it is hopping. As we are sitting there drinking "cheaply priced good beer", this guy and his date walk up to the bar. NOw in front of us behind the bar is one of only two Helmets that TC (Tom Cruise) wore in the movie (the other one is in the Hard Rock Cafe in La Jolla). So back to guy and his girl at the bar. The bartender asks for her ID and as I look over to to watch with interest, I see that the bartnder is wearing a T-shirt commemerating it's 20th anniversary of the bar being in "TOP GUN"(1986). The bartender tells the young lady, "well you've made it by a couple of weeks". She smiles and then it hits me, okay, 20th anniversary of the bar was last year, so that means this is the 21st year, and the girl just turned 21 last month............(now mind you, It is really past 2 am my body time, and We've already plowed thru one pitcher of beer, but like "Ron Mexico", my mind is one of my weapons). "Holy Rat Turds Batman!!!!! She wasn't even born when "TOP GUN" was made!!!"............AAAAWWWWW ......just give me another pitcher of "cheaply priced good beer"
But just to set the record straight, I WAS the ICEMAN four years before the movie was out!!

So they named that nerd after you?
I guess it was better than the nickname "Batman"
I don't know. As far as comic books go, Batman kicks the hell out of iceman, no offense!
