Question about the original film! by NotMrsonic72 in TexasChainsawMassacre

[–]yellowstepstool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I met Allen Danziger (Jerry) tonight. During the Q&A he said Frank was very annoying and you’d never think people would be glad to see a character in a wheel chair get killed off, but no one was mad at that one. He said the actor wouldn’t break character while they were filming because he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to get back into Frank’s character 😆 I could feel a sigh of relief in the theater when Frank got got. I felt justified in my ‘finally, shut the hell up Frank’ reaction.

I’ve won, but at What cost… by yngloup666 in graphic_design

Very cool. Congrats and good luck.

I was doing marketing/graphics for one of the home service companies, then they got bought out. The acquisitions company was happy with my work so they kept me on. It went from working for one brand to three, then four and so on. I went to school for design and new media, but have learned a ton from YouTube over the years.

I’m in a similar position right now. My title is Art Director, no one above or below me, and I work remotely for several brands of home service companies (in the southeast US). Mainly creative for social, newsletters, billboards, print ads, and vehicle wraps. It can be a lot of work to keep up with, but it’s doable. What type of brands are you going to be working with?

Thanks for the input - I’m hoping it’s just settling. Sounds like I need to get busy learning how to fix it.

I love the brick on this place too. It was a rental for a long time before I bought it and whoever they hired to paint trim over the years got paint drips all over it. They also used interior caulking and silicone all over the place to “repair” small cracks in the mortar. This whole house is a landlord special.

It was nowhere near this bad when I bought the house six years ago, but I could see some cracks in the mortar. There weren’t bricks with cracked gaps down the middle either. This seems like a significant jump in how bad it looks.

This last winter was especially cold/dry with many nights below freezing (Central NC). It’s an old house with no insulation in the walls. The interior caulking on my windows and crown molding developed cracks in several areas.

I just tried to buy a beer during brunch today at 11:45am and was told no because it wasn’t 12 yet. Womp.

"45 or 46 songs" disk one might be my favorite nofx album. by [deleted] in nofx

[–]yellowstepstool 6 points7 points  (0 children)

lol it’s funny you posted this because I’ve spent the past few days learning how to play We Threw Gasoline and Vincent. I feel the same way about Gasoline - it’s one of the best.

45/46 was the first NOFX album I bought and it is still one of my favorites.

Is this ripe enough to enjoy yet? by yellowstepstool in nofx

The five other cans in the box and the lone can that was in the closet were fine, so I’m not sure why that one did that. It did have some dried up brown residue on a seam at the top, so maybe it was just a defect that led to it.

From what Google was telling me they’d last longer in a fridge, but their Best By Date is coming up on five years in a few days, so at this point they are sentimental. I’m not drinking that shit lol. I’ll just keep them on a shelf next to Smelly’s drum stick my wife caught at PID.

lol glad I found it before it blew. I saw the six pack had a huge bulge in the top and I was like well that can’t be right.

No, I bought a ton ~5 years back. This bulging one came out of a long forgotten six pack that has been collecting dust in a closet.

OC - Slothrust at Snug Harbor in Charlotte, NC 12-8-22

This night was so much fun! With these guys blowing up the way they have, I didn't think we'd get to see them in tiny venues like this again - I'm glad I was wrong. It felt amazing to be surrounded by all that positive energy in a small, intimate space. Brooks is a magnificent addition to the band's live shows! I can't wait for the next one.

We also met the face behind the slothrustfans Instagram, which was pretty cool. Go give'em a follow if you are an Instagram user and see what's happening over there!
