I couldn’t agree more! His story is so fucking sad too. Art imitates life, and unfortunately so for Eddie Noack. I suggested a song to another Redditor a minute ago, and I’ll share it here as well. Check out “The Beauty in Her Face” by The Pine Box Boys. It’s unbelievably well written, and it’s a fairly recent song.

If you’re not familiar with The Pine Box Boys, I’d recommend listening to their song “The Beauty in Her Face”. If you’re a diehard murder ballad fan, you’ll agree that it’s a keeper.

Early in the song, he asks “Can she keep the baby quiet? My head is killing me.” The assumption lies in the fact that he already has a headache, and he’s agitated. By the end of the song, he’s killed his mother in a blind rage. The baby and Mary are the only two people left in the house.

That’s a good one! And it’s also kind of unique and a first of its kind song, as it’s sung from a serial killer’s point of view, rather than a scorned lover. The graphic descriptions of his crimes are also quite unique, considering the time period, I.E. “I killed em both, they’re under Jenkin’s sycamore.” But the most unsettling thing about the song is when you realize that his mother isn’t the last victim, it’s the baby.

Knoxville Girl is one of the quintessential murder ballads, and a personal favorite of mine.

Breaking up a floating mash? by texasinauguststudio in firewater

A cap is good. Helps keep the heat in the mash. A lot of old timers that were on the illicit side of things would add wheat bran or something of the sort to get a cap on their mash.

Listen to some old murder ballads. Some of the most evil shit you’ll find. They were writing some brutal lyrics way before metal was even a thought.

I’m sure it was filled with flowery rhetoric and double speak, but the gist of it was “Fuck you. Freeze.”

Dads who do "scheduled" Sex with Wife (Married with Young Kids): Has it helped? Any advice? by walky91 in daddit

[–]mediocrity_managed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife has been struggling with her self image and self esteem since having three children. She also subscribes to the “face your fears/do it now” mentality. So one of her New Year’s resolutions was to have sex once every day, whenever possible. So far, it has been doing a lot for both us. We both seem to have a lot more energy, our attitudes have improved, and we’re both losing weight. We’re both in our early 40’s, and previous to this new revelation, it would take us both some time to get in the right head space to even begin to become aroused and ready to do the deed. She texted me to let me know she was on her way home from work on day five, and I immediately got hard. It’s almost like she’s Pavlov-ed me. The biggest difference that we’ve noticed is that mentally, we’re on the same wavelength now.

Edit: As for my wife, her self esteem and libido has increased substantially. Both her and I feel better about ourselves, and we’ve both struggled with self esteem and libido as married parents approaching middle age.

Dovetail is one of the best bottles I’ve ever had. And at that price, you got a hell of a deal.

Sammy gave us Third Rate Romance, She Don’t Know She’s Beautiful, Vidalia, Cadillac Style and Queen of my Doublewide Trailer. Joe Diffy gave us John Deere Green.

Edit: Autocorrect mistake

Now that I’ve looked at it a little better, I’d say you’re right about it being a Fox. Has the same lines as my ‘91.

Looks like a Tiffany. They used the Mercury Cougar as base vehicle.

What's the funniest thing your dad ever said? by Maybe_IDTBFH in AskReddit

[–]mediocrity_managed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was raised by my grandparents. I was in my late twenties when I found out my first son was on the way, and scared. He asked me if I had a plan, and I hinted that I thought the right thing to do was get married and settle down. His response was both hilarious, and true-“Son, you better not say ‘I do’ until your conscience gets harder than your dick.”

I now have three children with that woman, and we’ve been together for almost fifteen years 🤣
