In person? Streetlight Manifesto at a shithole venue during the dog days of summer on the Somewhere in the Between tour. It was so goddamn hot that the security guys were paying more attention to spraying the crowd with cold water than making sure people were safe. Stage diving, crowd surfing, insane energy the entire time.

On tv? Hard not to say Gojira at the Paris Olympics.

I did manage to see Propagandhi back in 2009ish, and it was maybe the best damn show I’ve ever been to.

Then they didn’t come back for over a decade. And that show got canceled because the frontman got covid the night before.

Then they were supposed to pay a festival near here, but they announced right before that they were never going to tour America again because of all the fascist bullshit.

Fuckin eh. Is that worse than foie gras? I don’t even know.

What’s the best thing after a long day’s work? A shower. What’s the second best thing? A beer. Put em together. Magical.

As a Twins fan…

That might be the worst thing I’ve ever heard. How marvelous.

I did that math when I bought my bike. “How many times do I have to bike to work to even this out?”

Once I hit it I never touched that bike again.

I am firm.

You are stubborn.

He is pig-headed.

Leftover Crack’s first two albums scratch an itch that nothing else can reach. Unfortunately the frontman is a raging piece of shit.

It’s like when people tell me that Skrewdriver’s first album is really good. Like, maybe? But I still can’t bring myself to listen to it. Hell, I can’t even listen to Pantera these days.

My old roommate sucked. His favorite band was a Canadian thrash metal band called 3 Inches of Blood. I assumed they also sucked. Many years later I actually listened to them and they’re amazing. In the meantime they had broken up.

Happy ending, though. They did a reunion show last year and I was able to go see it!

I saw them live one time and was blown away. Then I listened to their albums and was kinda underwhelmed.

If you’re burning a steak that bad, you deserve the cancer.

Awesome. Hopefully we can gather some info over the next few years, maybe gain some insight into the creation of our own moon. Fun coincidence that this is coming out at the same time as the Artemis II mission.

Also nice to see my Alma mater in the news this time of year for something other than our MBB team sucking.

Request. If y’all make another Deutsch alternative to Coke, can you please make something better than Fanta? Bitte schön?

I went over to my old boss’s house one time and saw a car under a cover. He explained that it was a custom ultralight racer built off the chassis to a 1967 Lotus Europa. I was blown away and said that I hadn’t realized he was a car guy.

He laughed and said “I’m not. Don’t go on ebay drunk.”

The squeaky wheel gets the grease, but the nail that sticks up gets hammered down.

I saw an interview with Joe Mantegna (I think), talking about David Mamet’s dialogue. He said “Everybody always says that he writes the way people talk. Bullshit. People don’t talk in iambic pentameter. He writes the way people wish they could talk.”

Russia always amazes me in that they’ve never had a leader who was both competent and sane.

Is anybody surprised anymore? Robert Kraft is a close friend of Trump. He owns the New England Patriots. The Patriots team charter jet randomly showed up in Guantanamo Bay last spring. No explanation.

Modern MLB pitchers can regularly throw a baseball 100+ mph. Currently, the flick of the wrist during a curveball throw is the fastest human motion recorded.
