I didn’t say it had to be an alcoholic drink. It can be water.

If you want to be a Springsteen fan sit in a dark room, pour a drink, and listen to one of the following albums in its entirety
Born To Run
Darkness on the Edge of Town
The River

THEN listen to Nebraska

Let me guess which: Ellis Paul, singer songwriter in the Prine mold who has a devoted fanbase but never broke big
Wolgemut: Renaissance and early modern music
Great Big Sea: celtic folk rock who were legitimately pretty big in that lane in the 90s/aughts

Define your music taste with eight artists

John Prine
Bruce Springsteen
Ellis Paul
Willie Nelson
Jason Isbell
Great Big Sea
Wolgemut
The Grateful Dead

Did turning 47 on Monday run out the clock on my ability to lift weights and not feel completely fucked up (in a bad way)?

No endorphins; only pain.

Seems unfair

Sorry!

You can plant any two actual Hallmark Christmas movies into Troy McClure voice and it works perfectly.

“Hi, I’m Troy McClure, you might remember me from such Christmas classics as ‘The Nine Kittens of Christmas’ and ‘Catch Me If You Claus.’”

I have no idea how anyone could read Book 3 of GOTF and understand the context AT ALL

A short haired gray cat sleeping on his back, with his hind paws tucked up to his belly and his front paws stretched all the way down to rest on his hind legs

A short haired gray cat sleeping on his back with his head thrown back like he's looking away from something in distress, and his front legs splayed wide

Theo naps so dramatically

Skeletor shakes his arms in the air

"I was married, but I'm no married any more. Women don't like the vehicle."

USPS took a package headed for my house from PA, which you'll note is quite close to Delaware, to Alabama, which is not. Now it's back to New Jersey. Where will it go tomorrow? To Delaware? Maryland? West Virginia? Louisiana? Place your bets!

what's the right middle path between "too much panic" and "too relaxed," there's gotta be one right

"Oh, for crying out...what's Jon drinking *now*?"

I have repeatedly heard you referred to as a "young genius" I think you can probably relax

One of my "money doesn't matter anymore!" car purchases would be a '78 Corvette Anniversary Edition.

Choosing Ben Simmons over Jimmy Butler is going down as one of the most indefensible roster decisions in big 4 north american sports history post 1947

and I was like is he just...not counting that kid? that's not like him, he's super religious because it's the 1360s...

I know we all WANT a functional government to crack down on fraud but deep down I'm a little afraid of the impact on the overall economy. I think scamming people is one of the main pillars of it.

You ever find yourself reading a book in a long running series out of order? In a mystery series this doesn't matter AS MUCH; I recently realized that I just started #7 in the Hugh de Singleton medieval mysteries, having already read #8 and #9

Albeit he wasn't washed when he signed with the Os and actually had a pretty damn good first season

Albert Belle as strength and conditioning coach?

my job is MOSTLY taking strings of text and numbers from one place and putting them somewhere else, voice-control would fuck every single thing I do beyond belief

Oh I had no idea!

Given that there were actual riots on baseball fields in the 70s I don't blame him at all for lowering the boom on some idiots
