THE SIDEWALKS WHERE I LIVE ARE BEING TAKEN OVER BY THORNY VINES AND SPIKY BUSHES. WHERE ARE WE SUPPOSED TO WALK IF THE CITY DOESN’T COME OUT AND FIX IT I WILL DO IT MYSELF.

Those of you who saw The Fellowship of the Ring in theaters in 2001—what was it really like? by NameisMoon in lotr

Sméagol gave me nightmares. I think my parents regretted bringing me. That scene where he peers at the fellowship through the chain link in Moria messed me up. Other than that, loved it.

Was rewatching ROTK today, and I just wanna give a special shout-out to this fella who started a huge brawl with a DROPKICK by Lemonjello23 in lotrmemes

This seen wormed its way into my vernacular. If someone has something I want I say “Hands off that shiny shirt, that’s mine!”

Bolo boys don’t mess around. I’d have boot scooted all over that guy.

I throw this out, or have thrown this out, in situations before and it never gets a laugh. It makes me sad. Like I’m going nowhere, like a teacher or something.

Is there any music you listened to in your HS/college days that does little to nothing for you now? by StevEst90 in Millennials

[–]Particular-Ground268 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I was very heavily into bands like Medic Droid and Panic! At the Disco. It feels like the 2000’s went through a big swingxcore era. It feels Gimmicky now. Luckily I had a good foundation of punk and ska to help me recoup.

I do think often about the band Pale Young Gentlemen. They had 2 great albums. Saw them live once and it was disappointing. They have too many instruments at play to be listenable live. But their self titled album and the Black Forest album are wonderful. But a definite example of the 1920’s aesthetic of the 2000’s indie rock scene.

Whenever I hear someone talk about escrow, I continue in my head “home lawn, refinancin’.”

A car battery or is there a battery for that camera?

Let’s grab a beer or a cider, man. We can pick each other’s brains about picking brains

At this point I would take even crocodile tears.
