This is the most adorable story about King Crimson I've ever heard.

It's such a bummer that "In the Air Tonight" is just about bitter divorce guy stuff, it's so perfect when that drum Phil hits

#5 final answer. It will be so calm and chill, I get the window seat, and mama bear probably has really good snacks that she would share.

The good ginger ale shortage continues. May be forced to make my own. Are there any convenient ways to carbonate your shit that aren't manufactured in a facility in an illegal israeli settlement in the west bank

Happy Dave Matthews Band Poop Bus Day to all who celebrate! On August 8, 2004, the DMB tour bus dumped an estimated 800 pounds of human waste from the Kinzie Street Bridge in Chicago onto an open-top sightseeing boat in the Chicago River below. There were 120 tourists aboard the vessel.

Speaking of government waste. Imagine if that time, money, and energy were redirected.

Some fool here didn't want the part of the mango with the seed. My gain.

Happy 22nd Anniversary of the Dave Matthews Tour Bus Incident to all who celebrate

Made tacos al pastor. Came out a little dry though. I had pork tenderloin and was gonna fat it up with some bacon from the freezer to get a little closer to pork butt. But, alas, the bacon is missing! Also need to use more dried chiles next time, more canned chipotles+adobo, flavor ok but weak.

It's shed season for owners of double coat dogs rn, that's damn sure
