4:30! It’s not late!

Strangely enough, Men Without Hats have released an album more recently than Silverchair (in 2012).

The worst thing is, “cumbersome” is a really useful word but I can never use it because of that damn song.

I knew there was a song of theirs that my shitty band used to pretend to play ironically at rehearsals, but really secretly enjoyed because it was super-fun to play and I think “Israel’s Son” was that song.

My interest in these puns is really sinking. They’re such a drain on my time.

That Foo Fighters song is pretty great too (and I don’t even like the Foo Fighters!)

Yeah, she really kept going back to that well.

And the fucking best!

Those blintzes were terrible!

Spatula City, we sell Spatulas…. and that’s all!

Hahahaha. Sadly, I know exactly what you’re talking about without any context. They had to know what they were doing, right?

I’m so old I remember Prison Wine’s basement!

Marky Ramone is now the frontman of Teenage Head! I saw them a few weeks ago and they were really good!

Awww, it thinks it’s people!

In Canada, it just evokes that douchey guy from I Mother Earth.

Stealing from the bank (and each other) was also an accepted part of our games – if you could get away with it, the money was yours but it meant we spent more time on elaborate ruses and sleight of hand than actual game play.

Anyone ever played the Canadian capitalist game, Poleconomy? It’s like Monopoly, only more boring and involves buying stocks (my nerdy pre-teen friends and I used to always fight over buying up Molson stocks despite having never had a sip of beer) and controlling tax rates and inflation. Wow, I’m putting myself to…

Oh, that no collecting rent after your turn thing is a great rule. It added a whole level of silliness when we used to play that way and everyone was going to absurd lengths to distract everyone else and get the next person to roll the fuckin’ dice already.

In Canada, you’re only legally allowed to name a dog Finnegan and even then it’s only valid if your son is named Casey. (also, Casey has to live in a tree in your backyard. And maybe he’s not actually your son?)

Topical!
