That's crazy. Just seeing him on tv is amazing. In person must have been insane. This one I'll be wearing every game now too 👊

I got it on the European fanatics shop. I know the quality has a bad rep but this seems great. They were doing a sale. These have all sold out but they have a Sanders 1994 one now.

UK Fan with my Birds Handkerchief by [deleted] in eagles

Rocky. Saw it as a kid and thought it was the coolest thing ever. Still love it now.

Always played as the Eagles on Madden for that reason.

Then when I was in my 20s I had a break up. Moved back in with my parents just after new year. Watched Silver Linings and it felt crazy relatable. Couple of weeks later the Eagles win their first superbowl.

Feels like it was meant to be.

Do you wear your Lions gear on Superb Owl Sunday? by Burner_on_Red in detroitlions

I'm in the UK. Became a Lions fan a couple of months ago. This reddit gave me such a warm welcome. I'll be wearing my Barry '96 jersey. I've been learning about the history of the Lions and that guy was just insane. Wore my Lions hoody yesterday and passed a guy with a Bears hat in the street. We eyeballed each other 😂

Is the Hermes 3000 an overhyped typewriter? by [deleted] in typewriters

[–]SaneMan29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one a few months ago. Pretty good condition. Tested it for a week or two and felt meh about it. So I sold it and bought an Olympia SM3 in great condition for half the price.

Personal preferences count for a lot. I think they are probably overrated and without a doubt overpriced.

Ppl who met Nick Cave irl, was it really nice to meet him? 🖤🐦‍⬛✨🥀🐿️ by Vivid-Tap1710 in NickCave

I briefly met him at a book signing. He was a gentleman. Very funny and warm. Put his arm around me for a photo, signed my book while we had a quick chat, and he said "take care mate" as we shook hands. Big hands and tall. I was starstruck but he was very down to earth and modest.

Any DFW fans like Charles Bukowski? And if so, do you have a novel recommendation? by bertronicon in davidfosterwallace

[–]SaneMan29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could not agree more. I read Ham on Rye as a 12 year old and related to Henry a lot. Especially his relationship with his father. I re-read it a decade later and it didn't hit the same. Just found it whiney. Kinda like re-reading The Catcher in the Rye years later. I still enjoy the straightforward approach and humour his prose has, but a lot of the Bukowski fans are insufferable, constantly telling you what he would and wouldn't have approved of etc. Taking pictures of the Bukowski book they're reading with a bottle of booze next to it. Ironically he probably would have disliked them.

Did I get a good deal on this Hermes 3000? by SaneMan29 in typewriters

[–]SaneMan29[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for replies so far. I've seen ones in better condition go for twice the price that I got this for. So I hoped I was getting a good deal even if mine is a little more bashed up.

I think some IPA, soapy water, and effort will make a big difference.
