As a fun side note, as I was putting this together and working through all of the album tracks I came up with the idea of what would be the last 3 songs - Mastadon, Tori Amos, and The War On Drugs. I listen to everything before I put these lists together. That was where I planned to end it. And then I realized that Cory Wong had recorded a new version of "Meditation", which is one of my favorite songs of late. And then I discovered Diamond Dave's song by accident - I hadn't heard a word about it.

Just so you know, I think about these things.

Cheap shots:

Who gives two ratfucks?

No Mama Karen, it didn't happen.

"How do you do, fellow kids?"

DuckDiver19 is a dick.

I'd always assumed that men watch porn because the real thing isn't available to them. I don't watch porn.

The basic Laws of Human Stupidity, with helpful graphics.

I don't call them Anti-vaxxers anymore. I call them Disease-Riddled Filth.

You know, if you want to say "Fuck Joe Biden" then just fucking SAY "Fuck Joe Biden", I may support him, but you have the right. This horseshit just makes you sound like a bully.

Gotta love Justice Kagan, but very very very very weirdly, it might be Kavanaugh that sinks it.

They said it would be 10,000. It was 34. The rest is a bit alarming but it's still only 3%.

Three guesses on who this might wind up being. All three might be correct.

"We bassists have to stick together."

I honestly hope that all of your children are taught Critical Race Theory. That means that all of them - ALL OF THEM - are going for their Master's Degrees.

And because I love you, let it rain tacos!
