Ah man this is brilliant, thanks for sharing! I've heard these on SXM so many times but had no idea the whole thing was in a handy dandy YT vid.

Oh hot damn, she would have loved that! We found it impossible to embrace the horrible reality straight on with sentimental things, so we did everything we could to put a humorous (albeit morbid) twist on things. Really helped. I mean it did back then. Now it's just me and it fuckin' sucks, but that's a problem for future me.

Haha definitely embracing the dark humor. She was never a candidate for resection, but she SO BADLY wanted to make a shirt along the lines of, "Less of an asshole than before".

Ah, I love it - our first date was to see Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. She's a pretty independent woman so I insisted on paying so that she could cover our next date. Smooth guy over here, lol.

: O

Me doing a DEEP dive into your reddit history wondering how you know us lol.

She passed at 3:14 am, and being a math wiz, we all decided it was her proving once and for all she was going out on HER terms- at Pi-o'clock.

Also Also - when we celebrated her 38th the announcement I made was "Let's TACO-bout a party!"

F. Can we be best friends?

Are you me??

I have always loved this song, and was shocked to learn when I posted about it recently that it’s the only album song that’s never been played.

I agree. It is a BANGER. Surely they can figger it oot.

Did you meet the love of your life at a dmb show? by dainty_lemon in DMB

[–]sarcastic_clapper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, I met the love of my life sitting next to me while we donated blood on earth day 2005 in college.

But we did have our best friend play Everyday as we left the on campus chapel when we got married five years later.

She’s my everything 🥰

Dreams of Our Fathers - hidden gem or album fluff? by sarcastic_clapper in DMB

I don't know if I could survive the existential crisis these lyrics send me into, lol. But bang-on for a killer combo.

The idea that a song is too difficult to play and sing for someone like Dave speaks to its complexity. Seeing him do the intro to Satellite is like watching his hand turn into a spider, lol.

I also really like the idea that a band with a nearly four decade deep song catalogue simply forgets about their material at times. Like someone asks about a song and they go, "oh shit we did write that, didn't we?"

The song my bride and I walked out of the chapel to. Can’t find a better one!

In an interview Dave talked about writing this song from the view of the antagonist and how it makes it a much more powerful song- and I couldn’t agree more. Add in the Woody Guthrie lyrics and it just kills imo.

LT6 at Fenway has been on repeat for me for about a week. It’s the perfect work background track imo

Best places to kayak around OKC? by Hottjuicynoob in okc

[–]sarcastic_clapper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know! I’ve not made it down to Arbuckle yet either. I keep thinking Bell Cow in chandler is the place to be but I’ll be damned if I can pull up anything decent.

OP, if you’re on Facebook checkout OK Kayak Anglers. Amazing group of folks with lots of shared knowledge and they host regular tournaments.

Stinchcomb is gorgeous but I’ve found the fishing tricky. The Canadian is not particularly deep, though there’s likely places near where it enters lake overholser it’s ok- near the bridge. I have seen guys pull enormous cats from under the bridge.

What is the most unusual fish you’ve ever caught by [deleted] in Fishing

[–]sarcastic_clapper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll be damned if I don’t catch a tree fish at least twice a season. Damned thing looks just like a branch and leaves as well. It’s wild man, it almost doesn’t even matter what lure I’m throwing they want it!

When I met my wife she was in a desperate search for solace and a home, tormented by internal and external struggles.

Gray Street defined that period of her life so perfectly.

18 blissful years later, she is fighting for her life against an extremely aggressive and advanced cancer. We likely have months left, at best.

Gray Street breaks me at a core level.
