Her first birthday was last week, and she’s the most f#%^ing beautiful thing in the world.  😊

Congratulations, Nashville! I'm very happy for you.

Merry Christmas everyone!

The selection process for next year's Reindeer Games.  Happy New Year and I'll see you next summer.

Just checking to see if this thing is still working.  Has PT lately been repeatedly re-re-restoring old backups or something?  Its behavior of late has been… weird.

I do not have any issues, but I am glad you posted because it made me look back at older posts.

Today, January 9th, I reread the post above yours [which is also yours] for the second time and I finally get it!  The date of the post was an immense help.

So, I do have one issue: Reading comprehension. Oh, also old age, brain fog, short-term memory loss, and short-term memory loss.

Forgot that the term includes the word loss.

Hoping my Southern compatriots are doing ok and not perfecting their icicle impersonations.  We’re doing ok, but I just got a call from my eldest; the -5 we hit last night froze their water pipes, and they’re without water this morning.  🥶

FYI: if you ever want to have a good night’s sleep, do NOT google images of “duck penis”.  Seriously.  Just don’t do it.  You’re welcome.

I love checking the “recent posts” stream thread. You never know what you’ll find. Lmao.  I’ll take your word for it.

Hmm, I really don't see anything here that would keep me awake!

Oh, wow. This thread never fails to... disappoint. Yeah, that's the word.

I did not google, but I cannot unsee that rubber ducky. And now I will never see one in a bathtub without wondering what's underneath.

Well… as of last night, I’ve officially retired from the job I’ve had for the last 37 years and change.  Start my new job tomorrow  -er- later today.  Wish me luck!

You know you watch too much Big Brother (and may be slightly dyslexic) when you see this and think, "Fuckin Bowie Jane has a hash tag??"

Once the Olympics ended I got into the habit of watching the post-show recaps on RHAP's Youtube channel.   And in the past few weeks Bowie Jane has been on one show and Mama Fe was on Wednesday night.   Mama Fe was fun and just the same, down to snacking in the middle of the show (and taking her false tooth out so she could enjoy a caramel).  Bowie Jane was the real surprise to me.   SO charming and I got the idea that both Rob Cesternino and the second host that night (Taran?  Chappelle?) were also enchanted with her.  

Of course, last night's guest was Andy Herren and I clicked off pretty fast.

Nashville, how’s the new job going?

Excellent, in multiple ways. Turns out my old job is apparently missing me more than they expected to, so they’re contracting with my new outfit to have me reassume about 1/4 of the duties I left behind - at about 3x my old pay.

It’s nice to feel needed, yaknow?  😁

So - I’m almost finished packing, and in another ten hours or so I’ll be on the road to Louisville for four days of Louder Than Life.  Y’all try to have fun, ‘cause I know I’m gonna - and if I’m lucky, I might even remember most of it afterwards…. 😁

[Ananayel]

Jealous doesn't begin to cover it - have a fantastic time!

Aww, don't be too lucky. Leave room for improvisation, and have a great time! Bring us back a t-shirt.

I would live with Angela at her most paranoid for an entire day to be able to see Juliette and the Licks.

I would spend a lunch hour with Frankie for Filter and Dropkick Murphys. For that plus the headliners and Anthrax - a whole day. It would be a long day, but I'd do it.

[Nashville]

Hey, what’s happening in the clean world?

(Actually, it was a 4-day festival - and by Day 4, you’ve already lost the horn)

Didn’t get to see them; Day 2 pretty much ended up getting shut down due to high winds (Helena made a surprise unscheduled appearance).  It was down to just rain by the next day, though - all fucking day long - but we don’t give a shit about rain.  A couple of the Day 2 acts were able to accommodate a reschedule for Day 3, but Juliette wasn’t one of them.  😕

Oh, and here’s my PSA for the day: Till Lindemann puts on one of the most… interesting shows you’ll ever see in your life - but DON’T bring your kids. 😆
