  1. They yadda yadda yadda'd past the hard part between 58 and 59 seconds
  2. Well, many of these people are pathological, so...
  3. Along the same lines, the whole "Repair Shop" show (used to be on Netflix, now on Discovery+ and YouTube) is perfect for "I want to lose an hour or two" moments
  4. That may be true, but they saved Santa, so they're all right by me. (can't believe that I forgot that pterodactyls not standing the screech of a guitar. thanks Paul!)
  5. I tried that last year, but my right arm atrophied so badly that I struggled to tie my shoes
  6. Ok... Here's mine: Go back off of sugar (did that from 2017 until 2020, and gotta recalibrate instead of self medicating with sweets) Intentional efforts to be mindful- gratitude journal, morning meditation, etc. Related: Planned time away from work. Both vacations (physical time to relax) and structured "no phone, no email, y'all handle your own problems" time during the week. (Given the impending shit show at my job this coming year, it might be easier for me to just resolve to cut my own arms off though). Review my financial plan and make updates as needed (investments and life insurance and other things for the future... Or as an exit strategy if I end up walking away from my job) Talk to my best friend (across the country) weekly and my family more regularly (typically once every three months or so... Gotta do better as they age)
  7. Best? Not by a longshot. Listened to enough to drive my hyper-evangelical mother nuts? You betcha. ("They've got such long hair!" "So did Jesus, mom....you know, the person they're singing about?")
  8. Perhaps four is the maximum number of people you can fool into taking a bite before someone throws it all in the trash and punches you in the face
  9. Same here. Anything dark chocolate is a part of the "tribute" (since the wife won't let me teach them about the vigorish). Initially there were complaints about this when the kiddo was little, so I let her mother take her out for Halloween. When she came back, she actually gave me a Hershey Special Dark to put me on retainer for the following year. Seems that the wife wanting to talk to every parent and visit at each house resulted in only about 1/4 of the regular haul.
  10. Totally agree... Brilliant, but not exactly musically so.
  11. Totally agree. I could say the same thing about KISS, but they were commercialized from the jump. Not that they didn't have some great songs, but it was always about selling themselves
  12. I agree with much of this, but wasn't Chicago's situation put in motion by Kath's death?
  13. I feel this in my soul, but also appreciate any opportunity to hear Cornell sing. Plus, it's not like Zack gave them a lot of options if they wanted to keep playing together.
  14. otherwise known as "anything but brown sugar"
  15. SIAP Jason Isbell Is Tired Of Country’s Love Affair With White Nostalgia
  16. While that may be true, this is more than likely due to terrible quality control on behalf of the Acme corporation.
  17. Yeah, I knew a few girls that could have been spokesmodels for 'cream betweens'
  18. Hilarious. Best doughnut shop in Los Angeles County shares a parking lot with a crossfit box/club/gym. Due to the heat and such, doors are always open with fans blowing the glazed aroma into the space throughout the day for ten months of the year.
  19. Aiel. And yup. <bookfag adjacent> While I liked Jordan working to make female characters more prominent and powerful, I hated the fact that he did so by creating this "men are dumb and need to be guided" narrative that the Wisdom's personally is built upon. Not only is it a unfortunately single noted solo, it's discordant in the way that you're picking up on.
  20. The last one won't be outlawed, since those books are classified as 'fiction'
  21. I loved the De La Soul jam during the credits. Perfection all around
