That might explain why i hate them so much even though i love all other olives

Pfftt… “Aforementioned.” Well la-di-da.

I had to look up escarpment. How do you regularly have the opportunity to use that word?

I would never spit in someone’s drink. I’d spray them with the soda gun instead.

That is a good fucking movie. It should be more well known than it is. I could definitely watch that repeatedly. I could probably watch an hour and forty five of just Charles Grodin doing absolutely nothing and still laugh my ass off.

Super busy dive bar. Not the kind of place you’d order a fancy cocktail on a slow night let alone a packed weekend. Customer asks for some particularly complicated drink when the bar is slammed. Bartender tells her that there a lot of people waiting behind her and asks if she’d please order some simple. Customer insists. Bartender pleads. Customer insists. Bartender relents, pulls out all the tools, gathers the ingredients, preps the glass, etc, etc. Pours the ingredients into the shaker. Spits in the shaker directly in font of the customer. Shakes up the drink, strains it in the glass and says, "that’ll be twelve dollars please "

Anything by Morrissey. The histrionics are annoying enough but I think he’s an objectively bad musician. He seems to just meander around with no discernable melody. Like, what are you even trying to do man? I’m pretty certain the actually catchy Smiths songs were written by someone else.

Runner up: Hold My Hand by Hootie and the Blowfish. If it comes on at a place of business I will immediately walk out of that business.

Blues Brothers but mostly because I really liked it. It helped that it was full of great musical performances.

How much time do you have, ha?

This is one of the most well researched pieces of work I’ve ever come across. Like somebody’s PhD dissertation. A ten year project for the author. I can’t recommend it enough.

So just to throw some names out there of white people who significantly influenced rock music: Johnny Otis, Bob Wills, Cosimo Matassa.

Seriously, check out this podcast you’re interested in this stuff. I think it’s on other platforms if you don’t have Spotify.

I don’t necessarily agree that they “invented” punk but Bad Brains definitely invented hardcore.

Rock had a whooole lot of influences including white ones.

Rock Steady too

Dang. Thanks for the response.

Those things aren’t really important to me

History shows again and again how nature points out the folly of men.

If you are inviting people to them then I see them as one in the same. If you just need witnesses you can bring some when you meet with the priest and not force a hundred people to go to mass for three hours for your own fancy. I think that is selfish.

I guess I just disagree with that idea. I feel like it should a shared experience. I definitely thought about making it fun for my friends and family when I got married. I wanted them to celebrate with me, not at me.

Dancer in the Dark

Ugh why do people do that? It’s even worse when you are kid who was raised irreligious. Do they think everyone they know is Catholic?

Are you telling me someone on Lemmy has experience in not pooping for three days? Why didn’t you speak up before?!
