  1. Seeing The Record Company in deep ellum next thurs.
  2. My expectation is for you to pull one of these.
  3. Ride and Charlatans was a surprisingly good show. My expectations were tempered given their age. A couple noteworthy things about Ride. They didn’t play Twisterella. That sucked. They’re also really loud. I went to 35 shows last year only Ride and Ravonettes registered on my personal too loud scale. I had to back away from the stage to get to a comfortable listening distance. Charlatans had better stage charisma. Lead singer engaged with the audience a lot. They finished strong with The Only One I Know and Sproston Green.
  4. Musk criticizing another company’s safety record. That’s rich.
  5. I saw that the Spits and your daughter’s band are coming to denton. Is this mini tour called the saliva tour?

    I learned everything I need to know about plagiarism from Cemetry Gates. If you must write prose and poems the words you use should be your own Don't plagiarise, don't take "on loan" 'Cause there's always someone, somewhere with a big nose, who knows And who trips you up and laughs when you fall Who'll trip you up and laugh when you fall You say: "'Ere long done do does did" Words which could only be your own And then produce the text from whence was ripped Some dizzy whore, 1804* * Source is genius.com
  8. Doing Ride and Charlatans in dallas at HOB tonight
  9. Rodgers on McAfee show today. Within Rodgers first few sentences he said “do your own research”. Complete conspiracy theorist qanon red flag alert. Changed channel immediately. Disclaimer - wife and I work from home and put the espn morning shows on in the common area for background noise. McAfee’s show just happened to be on when I walked into the room.
  10. The googles show that Angel is the owner of The Colony Cobbler unless I’m looking at the wrong place. Has it changed ownership? Is David still there?
  11. I got a pair of rujos for christmas. This my second pair of them. I get lots of compliments on my peanut colored pair so I got the same style in chestnut. They’re goat and come with a distressed finish.
  12. Fuck all those maga pieces of shit
  13. When I read it, I imagined the venn diagram.
  14. We got out of the hotel in the french quarter and on the road at 6 AM. Took 7 hours to make it back to Dallas. Glad we got up early. Sounds like a beating otherwise.
  15. A house in my neighborhood had a trump flag up from 2020 until spring of 2022. Then, he took it down and put up a black flag for six months. I wondered if he was a J6’er and decided not to advertise it once the sentences started dropping.

    Good luck with that. Just wait til you discover discogs.
  17. same gene pool as spork foot marge?
  18. I took the family to nuremberg in 2016. Our son wanted to see all the WW2 history. We went to nuremberg and enjoyed it a lot. Highlights include 1. A bunch of teenagers sitting on the ship of fools statue staring into their phones. Because irony. 2. Took the bus to the nazi party rally grounds stadium. We met a local woman on the ride. She was going to the grounds to play pokemon go. It gave me the grins to thonk of hitler’s grand plan and stadium reduced to a pokemon go playground. Nuremberg kinda holds a special place in my heart. I’ll look for some youtubes on munich. We were kinda underwhelmed when we were there in 2016 but it may have just been the rainy weather. I did enjoy it when I went there in 2000.
  19. Have them watch the sound of music. If that doesn’t pique girls’ attention for bavaria and salzburg, I’m not sure what would. The movie is based in Salzburg Austria. We watched the movie last night because my wife associates it with Christmas somehow. Also Disney based their castle after Neuschwanstein castle in Schwangau GE. There’s a mike’s bike tour out of munich that’s worth the day trip. They take you to Scheangau, take you on a short casual bike ride around the farms and lake, stopping for pics with the castle as the background, take you to a restaurant with excellent beer from their own brewery and brats, take you on a tour of the castle, and then back to munich. It’s a damn good day. If they like disneyworld, they should enjoy this.
  20. We’ve been watching Christmas Market walking tours on youtube as background noise during the workday for the last couple of weeks. These walking tours are pretty much what we do when exploring a new european city; we walk probably 5 miles a day just looking at stuff between the sites. We’re thinking about doing a trip to hit a few of them next year. The ones that are the most charming (to our eyes) are in bavaria stretching east to france. They seem to do them up pretty big there. A few that piqued our interest that are somewhat clustered around southern Germany. Salzburg AU Basel, Switzerland Riquewihr FR Strasbourg, FR Baden-Baden GE Stuttgart GE Nuremberg GE
  21. Never heard Black delta Movement before but I’m hooked now.
