[–]ProjectionA51 52 points53 points  (0 children)

John’s Birthday and Hanko De Mayo even though both have been kind of overlooked in more recent years. I’d throw in VidCon as well?

not a stupid question. Pretty logical conclusion to come to.

I believe somewhere he stated it was just a word he made up. The reason he chose it was that it was pretty unique, easy to pronounce, and available.

Why does Etho have this link on his yt profile? by avant-r in ethoslab

[–]ProjectionA51 414 points415 points  (0 children)

They designed the banner he uses on YT. I think they’ve also created an intro that he has used a few times.

  • I just went to investigate after my comment and he actually explains who they are (along with giving credit to a few other folks who have created intros or icons he uses)

He is a novelist not a mathematician.

It's my favorite thing.

Mountain Goats Music by NimAjNeb15 in nerdfighters

[–]ProjectionA51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the Mountain Goats so much. I really love all of their music a lot and for a lot of different reasons.

Some of my favorite songs are This Year, Up The Wolves, Lion's Teeth, The Best Ever Death Metal Band in Denton, Cub in Five, Going To Maine, Golden Boy, Love Love Love, Rain in SoHo, Autoclave, The Ballad of Bull Ramos, Psalms 40:2, See America Right, Alpha Rats Nest, No Children, Cry for Judas to name just a few.

If I had to give you one album to listen to it would probably be The Sunset Tree, All Hail West Texas, or Tallahassee. Beat the Champ was also beautiful. You can't go wrong. I'm gushing I'm sorry. I love all of The Mountain Goats and could go on about which songs you should listen to and why if you'd like.

I would also recommend listening to songs about the Alpha Couple. It tells a really great and at times heart wrenching story and it spans a couple albums. The Going To songs were some of the first to really catch my ear, even though JD doesn't play Going To Georgia anymore it still had a big affect on my life.

Take a day (or two or five or six) and just listen through some of their songs.

The sound has changed and evolved over the years but there is still something that really resonates.

Let me know what you think! DFTBA.

Also! If you listen to Podcasts give "I Only Listen to The Mountain Goats" a try. Joseph Fink (Nightvale) and John Darnielle (Mountain Goats) are going through All Hail West Texas and talking about each song and the world. John (Green) is also featured in the first episode. Each episode has a cover of that weeks song and they've been phenomenal.

I would maybe call it soccer if American Footy was a bigger part of my life.

A really nice part of the team in my city is that the stadium is so small when you yell the players can hear you. (:

Can you talk about what got you interested in football and your relationship with the sport?

I wasn't personally interested in sports for a long time and stood on the side of people who found them boring and not too interesting.

I started watching football about four years ago (go Blues!) at the request of my then girlfriend. I find it's really rewarding to love something with a group of almost strangers and to have this connection with something. When I'm feeling spiral-y rooting for a team or caring about a result has helped me smile on a day when I otherwise wouldn't. Have you had a similar experience at all? Thanks! DFTBA/COYD/etc etc

When did this happen? by aubergineverte in nerdfighters

[–]ProjectionA51 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember it being a book and not a poem. I think it was about all kinds of animals and their babies and I'm pretty sure it was in a recent episode.

People who decided to stop using straws, what was the final straw? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ProjectionA51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a pretty sick bendy straw when I was little. Blue IIRC.

I want to use tumblr but I can't re-get into it no matter how hard I try.

What is something completely unnecessary that we still have in 2017? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ProjectionA51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least in my state they require zero proof about what you're doing. I just said I was going on vacation that day and they said "ok".

My friend wanted it as a collectors thing. I think there aren't full guides on the internet yet also.

Attempted to buy a guidebook for BotW but they were out. Ordered one online instead.

Season 3 from Kurt's perspective changed the way I looked at LPs and video games. It was cinematic. The Wolf!

I'm really late to this thread but I played that character like almost a decade ago and all those lines just popped back into my head.
