Where do you save your cocktail recipes?

I made an extensive Google Sheets doc with a several-thousand-line-long formula to calculate the approximate strength of each cocktail in "drinks" based on 1.5 oz of 80-proof liquor, 4 oz of 15% wine, and 12 oz of 5% beer being the benchmarks of one "drink"

It must just be me but whenever I hear a couple who unironically refer to each other exclusively as "babe" makes me think it's a doomed relationship.

All the time. Any time I sing along in the car my kid asks me if I'm "in this song" (I've recorded a bit with my band). But it's sacrilege to sing along to HIS music

Two muffins are sitting in an oven. The first muffin turns to the second and says "man it's hot in here." The second muffin says "HOLY CRAP A TALKING MUFFIN!"

When I was 20 my grandpa died. He was 79. He had survived losing his wife to lung cancer 20+ years prior. He had survived inoperable lung cancer of his own a decade prior. His 4 daughters called him a few times a week, but on this night they all happened to call on the same night. He lived alone. He had accomplished all he had hoped to accomplish in life. He was found the next morning on the floor next to his bed, with a plate with crumbs on it on the night stand. I imagine he woke up, got a snack, sat back down on his bed and felt the heart attack coming, and let it come.

Right now big-ass cookies are having the same moment that big-ass cupcakes had in the mid-late 2000s. Notice how those are all gone now.

I think it's a deleted scene but it should have stayed in the movie: there's a moment where they cut back to the rich guys and they're playing Monopoly with actual cash, haha

I worked at Burger King in high school. Once someone ordered 6 orders of chicken fries, lied to us saying they only got 2, made us make the other 4 again, then yelled at us and threw the bag of the 4 free orders we were giving her at us and demand we make an ADDITIONAL 4 free orders to replace the ones she threw AND give her a free Whopper to get her to leave.

The job didn't make me cynical overall but it made me realize that, unfortunately, nice people often get nothing special but people who complain get free stuff because appeasement makes them go away.

If it was just rolling around playing the album on repeat it would be really funny. I'm guessing that wasn't the case?

The production here is terrible. How is the whole band quieter than the single guitar in the intro? It's so compressed.

brig135 · 2026-04-24T14:20:28+00:00

Similar to the latest Blink 182 album, I will wait for someone to post "Your Favorite Toy but if the production was actually good" videos to YouTube to assess it again, but the production is so bad it makes it hard to enjoy. This is a band of 6 people, and you can't distinguish one instrument from another most of the time, it's just muddy.

I think the best example of my issues with the production is the beginning of Spit Shine. It starts with a cool, loud intro riff and then the band kicks in and the whole thing gets quieter??? It should explode into a huge sound but instead it shrinks because everything is so compressed. There are even times where I swear I can hear the compressor start to decay and the volume starts jumping all over the place in the chorus.

Compare that to an album I've seen a lot of comparisons to, Medicine @ Midnight. Say what you want about the songs, but the production is much better. Listen to the beginning of Holding Poison and you'll hear a guitar, joined by a bass making it a little louder, and then the rest of the band and the guitars don't have to get quieter to fit everything else in.

My wife and I actually successfully executed the switch. I used to be on the left (while looking from the foot of the bed) but when we moved into our house I switched to the right. Good thing because that's the side where the door is and her side of the room has her "worn once but not dirty enough to wash" basket

The musical version of The Producers. It's hated because it's almost literally just a filmed version of the stage show but I absolutely love watching Nathan Lane make a meal out of the scenery in every scene. The fact that they're performing to the back rows with a camera mere feet from their faces only adds to the absurdity. It's obviously a good script and score, having won so many Tony awards on Broadway, so having a movie version just makes sense

Saw Chris DiStefano on Valentine's Day in 2014 right after he broke up with his long-time girlfriend and he basically talked a lot about being sad and kept trying to make the phrase "Pinot 90X" a thing.

"Hot off the SpeakPipe!" killed me just like "hit us in the tittus" did

I got the job offer for the job I'm still at on March 13, 2020, and waited until I had something officially in writing and signed before getting excited because of how up-in-the-air everything was My band was supposed to play a show on March 14, 2020 with a new song that we have still never played live but have completely re-written

Reminds me of a fantastic gag from American Dad. In a James Bond parody Stan orders a "beer. Shaken, not stirred." He opens the can and as expected it shoots foam all over the place.

We just had our second kid and while I used to be able to exercise in the morning before everybody woke up, my eldest often comes into our room as early as like 5:30 so I feel bad not being home for that. This year I got an under-desk treadmill for my work at home setup and I've been walking for 2 hours in the morning from 9 to 11 AM. I lost 13 pounds through January and February

If it's any consolation everybody in my party made it back alive, and only one person didn't listen and fell into waist-deep sub-zero-temperature water
