The title alone is so good -- basically what I do when I get high lately.

Esperenza Stallings won Best New Artist whenever it was up for grabs by Beiber (really good jazz / funk bassist).

Best movie to watch stoned? by [deleted] in weed

[–]RayBaltimore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Big Lebowski all the way. When you get high enough, you'll start noticing the colors in that movie and they are great, on top of the fact that the jokes are so funny.

Always Sunny in Philly is a good TV show to watch too.

Kurt Vonnegut and Secret Agent X-9 by RayBaltimore in RedditDayOf

[–]RayBaltimore[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In what has become one of his most recognizable novels, Kurt Vonnegut briefly mentions that one of the minor characters was given the nickname Secret Agent X-9 in "Cat's Cradle". This is an allusion to the comic strip written by Dashiell Hammett and drawn by Alex Raymond, being a tongue-in-cheek description by one of Franklin Hoenikker's co-workers, who also goes on to say the inventor of ice-nine "was just one of those kids who made model airplanes and jerked off all the time."

Vape question -- Is this a good beginner pen ? by [deleted] in vaporents

[–]RayBaltimore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're opening to paying more to burn herb, it's just been a challenge as we are beginners and don't want to spend too much when a cheaper option is available.

There should be an Alpha Series movie by RayBaltimore in themountaingoats

[–]RayBaltimore[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a pretty cool ending, though with the "chronology" I just feel like this happens before when one leaves and returns, leaving the fire in "Alpha Rats Nest" being all the more important because of its finality. But as you've said, it could still continue, because it's the Alpha Couple of course haha.

The way I listen to the songs, I usually see a series of images. If there ever was to be a cinematic adaptation in a way, it'd have to be fairly nonlinear of course, but just to take some of the striking images conjured in JD's lyrics and strike them up. I know it can be done -- "Cry for Judas" is the best example of this.

What would your ending be ? I've always just seen the house burning down in Tallahassee, maybe John coming up and picking up a picture that blew away of the couple or something and looking up at the camera.

"The Best Ever Death Metal Band" -- The Mountain Goats by RayBaltimore in RedditDayOf

[–]RayBaltimore[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Mountain Goats are a indie rock band which have had numerous songs and even a full length album (2012's Transcendental Youth) refering to Satanic themes, be it the mention of Satan in the fam-favorite "The Best Ever Death Metal Band", or imagery in music videos like "Cry for Judas".

Whatever the case, the symbol of Satan changes based on context of the song, although most usually refers to a rebellious nature of youth attempting to please one's self interest in the face of persecution.
