I was a subject on the American version of the β€œUp” documentary series, where they film kids at age 7 and then return and film them again every 7 years

Here’s a clip of a babyfaced 21yo Dr. Death Metal talking about life and playing a sick basement show on the Discovery Channel

I genuinely love how all the best Gorpsegrinder stuff (i.e. him shopping at Target) gets that response

There are so many good Corpsegrinder stories but this is absolutely my favorite

My greatest drunken night was back when I lived in England, I went to puke in a bush and nearly hit an Irishman who had the same plan. Turns out he was a member of a traveling circus, so he brought me back to their big top to revel with the circus folk and play with their animals

So my absolute favorite version of this is a perfect brandy manhattan, which I feel like nudges it in the sweeter direction as well, so I’m really curious about the one you make

Sorry if I’m being an obtuse doofus - to clarify, my favorite cocktail is a β€œPerfect Manhattan” (equal parts sweet and dry vermouth) and I was curious if your mix of ingredients was effectively doing that same flavor profile or if it was more akin to a traditional Manhattan

Wait is this your version of a perfect β€œManhattan” or your version of a β€œperfect Manhattan?”

I finally watched β€œI Saw the TV Glow” and I guess I’m just gonna lie down on my bathroom floor for like 2 hours and feel feelings

Tranarchist Bane: β€œOh, you think gender is your ally? But you were merely assigned a gender. I was reborn in mine. Transitioned for it. I didn't see the tv glow until I was already perceived as a man. By then, it was nothing to me but blinding! Gender betrays you because it belongs to my people!"

No, no, common misconception - as you can see, according to *these* lyrics, which are undoubtedly correct, the song is about football

Ha ha when I die I hope to return as a fart ghost!

Oh and I remembered two more - Joch Strong who was… strong

And Max Force, who had a weapon called the β€œG-Force Cannon” that could concentrate and apply gravity to extreme someone or something, which honestly is a pretty sick idea

Like 20 years ago I taught filmmaking at this arts center downtown and yesterday I saw an IG story from a podcast celebrating badass Chicago Latinas and it featured two women that had met in my class and are still friends - one is now an architect and one is a punk musician and y’all my heart 😭😭😭

That was like us as kids with a superhero named β€œQuarterback Sacker” whose only power was spear tackling people

My 9yo has autism and has always opted out of participating in school plays.

Today is the first time he decided to do it, and he has one line:

β€œI’ll be packing meat in Detroit”

Incredible.

If the psychiatrist’s office is going to charge a cancellation fee if you’re sick then if the psychiatrist cancels they should have to send you free adderall
