  1. Is she saying “create an angel for me that flies from Montgomery”, or is she saying “turn me into an angel that flies from Montgomery”?
  2. Ah jeez, I guess it shouldn't be a surprise that he'd go a little early but I wasn't ready for that.
  3. Seeing a lot of buzz about this
  4. Ninfa’s green sauce a la chickensandwich. Need to dice the cilantro more finely but this was good. Could halve the recipe too to make it in the bullet.
  5. Chili flake talk is reminding me that I’ve meant to take Bayless’ advice here -
  6. just did the "mini and micro usb is obsolete" cleanup
  7. Direct marketing Thanksgiving meals for one to everyone who migrates from @aol to @x
  8. Yeah I’m sure I could maximize value by splitting up, anchoring high, whatever. I just want to get rid of stuff but don’t quite want to give it away. They should have a “buy nothing” for neighborhood sales, although even our suburban buy nothing group is infested with Jawas.
  9. I listed the Katana plus a boss FS-6 switch pedal for $125. I think that's pretty reasonable, I'm not trying to squeeze a bunch of money out of the amp (it's a mk1 probably 4 or 5 years old, a brand new mk2 is like $250) but even just the pedal is $80 new. I've got a guy trying to haggle with me, started at $90 and I said "no", he keeps insisting that it's today. $90 today. He worked up to $100 today. Another guy asked how far I am from Myrtle Beach (different state, like 4 hours or something). Another wanted to give me a Yamaha acoustic. And the most reasonable offer is a guy who wants me to drive it to Durham for $135. But I'm not going to do that. I really wish you could flag this for strictly local.
  10. She was just low key calling you ugly, player
  11. Facebook marketplace is not any better than Craigslist, goddamn.
  12. The clip of her getting no pushback cut off abruptly. Are you saying there was more context?
  13. There go the improvements to Gibson’s quality control
  14. I've really never looked at Quora. It feels like one day "Ask Jeeves" rebranded to Quora and nobody really noticed, i assume that anybody answering a question there is broadcasting their response from a ham radio. On the one hand, I do think that Reddit is the first place to look for non-enshittified reviews. But I would love to read some sort of dunning-krugeresque study on collective wisdom in points incentivized internet discussions. It's fucking wild to read a subreddit on something you are actually knowledgable about, and makes you question the input you see when you're trying to figure out what brand of jigsaw you need or whatever it is. The people in cleaningtips will tell you to put barkeepers friend on literally everything, and the people in lecreuset will tell you that not only can you not use metal utensils, you shouldn't use the rough side of a sponge. In guitar, someone will get upvoted for writing a takedown of Gibson, their piss poor quality control, and how their use of plek machines is idiotic - clicking their post history will reveal a question on how to replace the pickups on their affinity strat with humbuckers. *barkeepers friend is an abrasive that will harm many surfaces, the whole goddamn point of enameled cast iron is that it is easy and low maintenance, and how to turn your $80 guitar into a different kind of guitar is a question for 14 year olds
  15. guy that plays the banjo keeps on handing me the old crow which multiplies my sorrows I can’t take it anymore
  16. Ours is Salome, which is even less appropriate but was effective for getting her to chill. “My blood’s turned to dirt, girl you broke every part of me” super low tier 97s song but Curtain Calls was one too. “You believe in cards and you believe in signs. And I’ll be leaving soon but I’m here tonight”.
  17. Big Brown Eyes has some great ones - and the cherry burns the corner of the page that says the end is coming soon - not soon enough, restring all your guitars and pack up all your stuff A box of red and a pill or three and I’m calling time and temperature just for some company
  18. But seriously though.... there was some discussion upthread about Miller not getting his due as a lyricist, and that's absolutely right. I don't know how to describe what he's the master of, but it's that thing where there's just a fucking line that's great. And fun to sing. Victoria has a bunch of them - the percodan and rohypnol ones, but "She lived in Berkeley till the earthquakes shook her loose - she lives in Texas now where nothin ever moves." Streets of Where I'm From was mentioned upthread, I think that's where he says "I've been had, well at least that's how it looks. But it's not funny like on TV and it's not smart like it is in books". St Ignatius - I mean that whole song is fun to sing, every line. I guess the "We're just shadows" line where he refers to Plato's allegory of the cave and then says he'll bring the kerosene to burn down the Palace. We could just name songs and the most fun line from the song. Maybe he's the master of song lines that you can deliver with a wink. My name's Stuart Ransom Miller, I'm a serial lady killer. She said I'm already dead, that's exactly what she said.
  19. there's the one off Southeastern where Isbell rhymes... benzodiazapine then you got MF DOOM - One for the money, two for the better green, 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine
