February 9, 20232 yr School fight songs are stupid and I’ve never heard a good one in my life (that includes EoT). Do you regularly listen to any other music from the early 1900s?

Do you regularly listen to any other music from the early 1900s? I mentioned this in the HS fight song thread. Clyde HS has (had?) Wild Irish Rose as their fight/school song. I don't know what the words were but when we went to games out there I always felt like we should sway and sing WIR in a drunken slur.

February 10, 20232 yr School fight songs are stupid and I’ve never heard a good one in my life (that includes EoT). Do you regularly listen to any other music from the early 1900s? On so many levels you are wrong, and Fuck You!
February 10, 20232 yr School fight songs are stupid and I’ve never heard a good one in my life (that includes EoT). Do you regularly listen to any other music from the early 1900s? College fight songs are part of the atmosphere and a great way to bring the students and alumni together. Now NFL fight songs and the douche nozzles that sing them are a completely different story!

February 11, 20232 yr I am not superstitious in general but I have an irrational fear of changing flights. I was able to get on a flight home on standby that leaves 4 hours earlier than my original flight, so I’m pretty sure this one will crash. Going to clear out my chrome history across devices prior to takeoff

February 12, 20232 yr Thursday, I spent the entire day with my underwear on backwards. No fucks given.
February 12, 20232 yr The actress June Lockhart of the TV series “Lassie” had the largest parking spot at the studio because she occasionally used her vintage fire truck to get to work. https://silverscenesblog.blogspot.com/2016/06/june-lockhart-and-her-1923-fire-engine.html Edited February 12, 20232 yr by Armybrat
February 13, 20232 yr Watched a clip on Twitter about the AFL, I could listen to Peter Coyote narrate a phone book he's that good.
February 13, 20232 yr So, went on a ski trip with 4 other families. Here are my thoughts: *Skiing is awesome, even as an old *We rented a house with 2 other families, one still hasn't paid me. Annoyed, but not angry. *Love networkign, making friends, but do I have to like everyone? Also, some kids, you can just see will be aggy when they grow up, it hurts. *caravaning? The whole group wants to caravan. Me not so much.

I likely would have looked up the total cost before you told me and sent my share plus a little extra for taking the lead on booking it.
February 13, 20232 yr Done the multi family rent a house thing many time. You pay when whoever books the house pays for the whole thing.Trip is over and you haven’t paid? That’s some bullshit.

I likely would have looked up the total cost before you told me and sent my share plus a little extra for taking the lead on booking it. That's the way I operate too. I don't count other people's money, but I assume that most of the people I live around are fairly well off. Of course, I've been reading this self help book so I'm pretty chill about it. Old me would've gone off and made things worse, but with kids and family and shit, I'm pretty patient. Unrelated to the above, I'm not huge on the multi-family housing thing. Sometimes you need your own space but of course with a large group it's great because it becomes the party house.

Well, also in the Hank Hill vein, you don't mention it or pester about it, but if the money doesn't show, you sure as shit don't invite them anywhere else again.

Correct. I either think they really needed the money or they don't respect me. Old me though, would either fight or out them, maybe both. It's not justthe dollar amount either. I have a couple of FFB leagues and I won't tolerate slow payors. To me, ethics is pretty easy. If you had the trust and kindness to volunteer to book, I will pay you early. the other 4 families were great about splitting meal costs .

"How about we leave at the same time instead drive our own pace so I get there an hour sooner and get checked in and unpacked"I'm not trying to spend 6 hours driving to port A
February 15, 20232 yr Came upon an old ER episode and recognized this fella playing a bartender on that episode. I miss those Miller High Life Ads of his...
