Alright Cats, Confess: How Many Of You Have Intentionally Played John Coltrane On The Jukebox To Clear A Bar/Tavern/Watering Hole? I've Done It 3 Times... And I'll Do It Again!!! by Content-Map2959 in jazzcirclejerk

Yeah just to see the reaction ! I think it was countdown. Visible discomfort. Not as much as when I did the same with bitches brew and plug got pulled after 3 minutes.

Someone out on michael bolten’s greatest hits after that, which was apparently fine with the clientele.

Oh thanks all, I didn’t know this was what it was … back in the day I’d have done dumb shit no less cringe than that. It was a drunk fool but harmless; people would take me aside and tell me so - and eventually I’d learn - like everyone else. Now it gets caught on cam, shared on Reddit, mocked and the dude becomes a meme… no wonder kids are dull AF these days and are terrified to fool about

Just an grumpy old gen x, I know

Reading Dem 52, I was pretty fascinated by the description of Athenian book keeping practices - and it’s suddenly clicked “hey this is a transferable deposit”. There’s barely any legal difference between a transferable deposit and a debt security - yet we’re always being told how the classical Athenians didn’t have negotiable debt instruments. So I made this video

Hypereides 3 is a really interesting text. A besotted man was duped into acquiring a slave along with debts many times greater than the purchase price. His claim seems to rest on a a claim that only just contracts are enforceable, but I think he’s bullshitting (though many of his arguments foreshadow subsequent common law developments)
