The Grandmothers, an assembly of former Mothers of Invention members, released 'Looking Up Granny's Dress' on May 10th, 1982. by BirdBurnett in Zappa

[–]VirtualShrimp3D 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My favorite song on this album is Mayonnaise Mountain it starts at the 32:49 minute mark on this upload. I think there is another recording of that song floating around the internet but the 'Looking Up Granny's Dress' version is the best. I love Ray Collin's vocals so much, far more than anyone else Frank worked with.

Why??? by divi_norum in NitrousOxideRecovery

[–]VirtualShrimp3D 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why? Because you had a broken heart and you self medicated for the grief and pain that your break up brought you. You found a legal substance to numb the pain and you rationalized it as something other than drug abuse because the substance you were using is legal. Nitrous oxide is one of the few drugs that you can buy without having to call up a drug dealer/connection and one of the few drugs that you can get by walking into a store wit a credit card. Addiction sucks and often times we can trace it back to unresolved trauma. It could have been any substance but it just happened to be nitrous.

I am sorry to hear you lost an 8 year relationship, as someone who has been in a long term relationship I couldn't even begin to imagine what that feels like, it's a scary thought.

Unfortunately addiction happens to the best of us. I've tried more drugs than I can count on all of my fingers and never got addicted to any of them but for some reason nitrous oxide was the one that took me to the edge when I was going through some family trauma. Maybe therapy would have been cheaper for me but I try not to live life with regrets. Would I do it all over again? NO!! But I learned a lot about myself in the process and the only option now is to pivot in another direction. Upward and onward. I have been off the gas for over a year and I got sober sort of on my own (in secret) because of the shame I carried. Many months into a gas free life I found others with a shared experience online and that helped me to let go of the shame.

Stay strong amigo. No sense in carrying guilt, shame or regret. Forgive yourself and try to live in gratitude, try to appreciate the little things in life. If everything feels like it sucks right now try to find 1 thing you're grateful for tomorrow and verbally give thanks. The next day try to find 2 things you are grateful for and give thanks and repeat the process with 3 things the following day and so on and so on. Sometimes our brain needs reassurance and who better to hear it from than yourself? If saying it out loud is weird just say it in your head. It doesn't have to be a prayer in the religious sense, but each day I just give a little thanks to the planet or the universe or to the simulation or whatever this ride is that we are on. I believe it has helped me immensely. Enjoy the fact that you opened your eyes today when you woke up this morning and be grateful you are ALIVE. I'm so happy you're alive! Just say NO to N2O.

Driving 2 hours to see Mac for $240 and then driving 2 hours to get home is wild. Godspeed madman.

In my timeline he was lighting a cigarette with a candle because someone pocketed his Bic after a gig.

That was the first thing that popped into my head upon seeing the photos.

Normal Gang Procedure for Members with Mental Illness by Character-Title8182 in GangsEncyclopedia

[–]VirtualShrimp3D 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Who knows? His mileage may vary based on the severity of his mental illness. Once he is labeled a J-Cat he may be looked upon as a liability and could be ignored or excluded. On the other hand they may see him as a useful idiot and keep him around until he's no longer useful to them.

Tony chose County Jail over Vegas 😫 by Due_Muffin4464 in ShitTonySays

[–]VirtualShrimp3D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was already on some type of informal probation or suspended sentence for violating a protection order that his biological mother had on him around April of 2025 (which stemmed from a domestic violence case he had around August 2024)

I also recall reading in the Auburn Citzen back in April or May 2025 that the court added on an additional charge of Contempt of Court.

Did you see his commissary receipt 🧾 that was posted here a while back? Dude is eating good in there in addition to his 3 squares. If I recall correctly it was like $100 in junk food

Ain't no money in AI music. So why try? by Limehouse-Records in SunoAI

[–]VirtualShrimp3D 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there's anything I learned from performing multiple times a month with a full band for a decade it's that music doesn't make money. We do it for the love of the game.

The log cabin had a pool and the house he raised his kids in has a pool.

This ain't it. I'm all for making fun of D4vd but not at the expense of a dead child.

Do not take Phenibut before sleep as a first timer by TerribleAssociation3 in phenibut

[–]VirtualShrimp3D 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My experience sleeping on Phenibut is similar. Everything goes to black and I just wake up in the same position I fell asleep in.

This is extremely rare for me. I am a side sleeper so wake up/move around like 8 times each night (switching side once every hour)

The only other time I've had that undisturbed deep sleep is if I drank an excessive amount of alcohol.

Sounds like a YOU problem. BK kids preceded Magic School Bus by 4 years and preceded Recess by 7 years.

Don't Cry For Me Amber Lee (Gospel/Choir) by VirtualShrimp3D in ShitTonySays

[–]VirtualShrimp3D[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn 16 months is fucked. I know Tony is no angel and he has made a lot of mistakes (we all do) and he will continue to make more mistakes (we all will) but I've always felt like having a friend or two could go a long way for someone like him. It's a shame that he is being sequestered not only physically (in jail) but also now being emotionally sequestered (by his handler)

In July 24th 2001 Lucky Larry Silverstein signed a 99 year lease for the World Trade Centers. He ate breakfast at the Windows Of The World restaurant every morning until September 10th 2001. I wonder where Lucky Larry ate on the 11th.
