  1. I might try and go to this Cats Cradle show
  2. I don't know how the scale or tuning of a baritone guitar, but if you told me it was that I'd say that sounds right. Cool enough vibe of a guitar, somewhere in that Reverend aesthetic. Shitty name - sounds like something I don't want to eat and also might sexually assault me during a massage. Very important stage gear picture from The Mountain Goats. just mad mad respect for rocking the PRS acoustic and the Schecter. Perfect guitars for his whole deal. The other one is a black Takamine which is also a very suitable John Darnielle guitar but a pretty normal choice. I feel like I remember him playing a black takamine at Mohawk like 15 years ago as well.
  3. now i'm curious what his cancer thing was actually about? either way - I gave tropicana about a spin and a half and left it, not the vibe of his that I really love. But the new album sounds like it might be more up that alley, looking forward to it.
  4. I think you're right about the rude ass titties girl also showing up, I don't remember her being in a band, I can almost picture her mugshot. The "shit on blast" person was different though. I have memory burn from losing my shit in the back of a van on i-10 driving towards Florida in a deep rainstorm that we were excited about because it was keeping the engine cool, which means we were in the shitty Dodge Ram that only had am/fm radio which means it was the summer of Call Me Maybe, which was 2012. And I was losing it at the exchange between the woman whose name I now can actually remember but I don't want to blast, who IIRC came in hot and then somewhat quickly got an accurate read of the room and tiptoed back out. shit on blast is for sure a widely used term but I don't think it had made it to core shaggy demo in 2012
  5. rude ass titties was for sure some guy who came in to comment about a girl he banged from the mugshot thread. also, I feel like this slang spread everywhere in the years that followed but "shit on blast" was also from the mugshot thread. some woman who was also a DJ had her photos in the thread and came in hot complaining about what is this fucking internet locker room why are y'all putting my shit on blast
  6. it makes my head hurt to even think about it. it was like... so lets say your sane ranking methodology came out like 3 4 5 1 2 I mean obviously I'm missing some data here and 2 could honestly slide as far down as 5 with some more information and it's subjective but for arguments sake, obviously that would put the brunette second from the right as your #1 choice. The insane methodology was like... 4 5 1 2 3? Like, in the number one slot you have girl number 4 as read from left to right.
  7. ah yes you are correct
  8. I'm trying to remember the exact wreathe origin - Dr Drunkenstein? Who I think was big into vaccines causing autism, and made a post about dying of cancer, and then there was talk of sending a card or maybe a wreathe and then it turned out that he was lying about the cancer, and so then concern over what should be done with the wreathe fund?
  9. I think PM Derka was a prank to get new users to ask Derka for help with any questions they have about the board, but mostly about how to get access to NSAA/no sex at all, the earlier incarnation of I'd Pee in her Butthole. I wish we still had some of the archives. I think the MS Paint Sex Stories thread invented the term "angry dolphin" to describe the reaction to accidental anal and I've gotten some mileage out of that term. I'm trying to remember the two picture ranking methodologies - JT vs Mitch?
  10. I think I can take credit or blame for "Is HEB open". And I feel like this one is pretty anticlimactic, although maybe I'm just still wrong after 15 years. Origin of that is that I started a thread with a title "Is HEB open", the body of the thread may have simply been "today?", the day in question was probably the 4th of July. I think it was a patriotic holiday, 4th of July feels right. The consensus from Shaggy was that it was a ridiculous thread to start when one could simply call HEB to find a definitive answer, but also I did get a definitive answer within a few minutes without having to look up a number or talk to a person on the phone. It was open (on that day).
  11. Went to the Rilo Kiley concert last night here in Raleigh at the Red Hat Ampitheater. Direct support from The Mountain Goats, who I was also excited to see again. The Mountain Goats mix was really bad, which is a bummer but I guess not that surprising - it seems like this tour has had a rotating cast of support artists based on region. I assume The Moutain Goats ae supporting this stretch of dates because John Darnielle lives in Durham. Would have loved to see one of the shows with Waxahatchee opening. Anyways, it would be weird to complain about the sound not being perfect on a Mountain Goats song. Good set. They've put out so many albums, the only ones I really know front to back are probably Sunset Tree and Tallahassee. They played a couple from each of those - This Year, Dance Music, No Children. I didn't recognize anything from All Hail West Texas. Anyways, short set, good set, but I dig the whole John Darnielle thing. I know it's songwriting work ethic rather than instrumental proficiency that is his thing, but it is interesting how ham fisted he seems as a guitar player. The concert overall was a fun experience - short of maybe my own band's reunion show earlier this year, this was the most "gathering of the middle aged millennials" moment I've had. I really wish I was going to this concert - I am certain I would run into somebody I know and haven't seen for 15 years every few seconds. Rilo Kiley was great. They clearly put a lot of work into prepping for the show - I don't think they had played together for 15 years. But they were tight, the arrangements were well done, everything sounded really good. I don't think I ever sat with "Under the Blacklight", but I listened to their other albums a lot during my high school and college years and this was one of those shows for me where I was excited to recognize the beginning of almost every song. I might have to go rewatch The OC or something.
  12. Hmm makes you wonder what kind of messaging could be used now to make Christians be receptive to Jesus’ message.
  13. Pretty bad showing for a Dallas shooter
  14. just one of those guys who popped up in the algorithm who I've been exploring a bit. very prine-ish, and of course from the Wikipedia, he's a Prine guy who did Prine things with Prine on the Prine label. BJ Barham (American Aquarium) is running for office in his Raleigh exurb https://www.wunc.org/wunc-music/2025-09-23/american-aquariums-bj-barham-running-office-wendell-wake-local-elections
  15. not heavy, quite light. i can pop it on the scale later if you're really curious but it's light for its size
  16. Wife bought this pan. Putting this here as a timestamp to see how long it keeps its (actually pretty good) nonstick properties and also how long it takes my wife to absolutely ruin it by putting it empty on a burner cranked to high and walking away it’s supposed to be noncoated nonstick, carbon steel with aluminum sandwiched in. Seems nice, although I’m just having a good time cooking on my lodge comal with a bit of butter
  17. home sick today. trapped
  18. I often watch movies without knowing anything about them - it's kinda nice IMO to just go in with a general sense of what genre it is. I knew that this was Stephen King and the general premise and that it is one of his earlier books (first maybe?). DIdn't know it was Hoffman's kid. I enjoyed it, I'm not sure if I took much from it but I don't know how important that is anyways. Not sure I loved the ending, it felt kinda flat. Agree with the criticism of Charlie - his lack of struggle stuck out to me. Maybe that was part of the point of his character (and of course you get to see some more about his background), but generally just being a good guy who is helping everyone else out and not at a breaking point over several hundred miles of walking without rest made him feel less real as a character. And yeah man, gory.
  19. curious if anyone has tried the Apple live translation yet. I saw the feature pop up the first time I paired my airpods with my phone after updating to iOS 26 but haven't had the chance to try it yet
  20. I don’t watch late night tv - have any of those guys been making fun of Trump for raping children?
  21. The founding fathers never imagined how fragile Americans might be
  22. PM South Austin’s mom.
