who knew Bruce Springsteen wasn't British

You probably didn’t know their was a “new” Jersey

Yes, that6 where the Amboy Dukes were from.

I thought they were from the center of the mind

I think I was the windmills of the mind

50,000 Miles Beneath my Brain adjacent

I enjoy that cos has carefully centered his avatar so we can see what the **** he wants us to see

If you don't know me by now, you will never never know me (ineligible in this format).

Are you 8 miles high?

 

[Ilov80s]

@Ilov80s- just ordered a Zombie Dust at the restaurant after the game! I'm holding you personally responsible if I don't like it since your mention made me order it.

I am on number 3 so they are working for me. It has some hops punch so hopefully you like that!

 

[scorchy]

A lot of us are drinking tonight.

Dry January.

 

[rockaction]

Dry January.

Dry four years?

 

[jwb]

A lot of us are drinking tonight.

Yo!

Wine / hot tub tonight. Contemplating some flower but the buzzes don't usually mix that well. Probably watch a movie instead as this game is pretty bad. Digging the playlist too @KarmaPolice. Thanks.

 

[krista4]

You guys might want to watch out for Asante Samuel.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Well that was depressingly quick.

And again.

And again.

And again.

 

[krista4]

Seems like a good time to fire up the Last Five Out playlist instead.

Have to admit I've never listened to Cream because Clapton is a dooooooosh, so I didn't realize this song, "Sunshine of Your Love," was theirs. Excellent song.

Cream was great long before Clapton doooooshed

What’s this about windmills?

Frankly, I never got the metaphor

It is good. I've largely lost my stomach for booze in the last 4-5 years, and feel like a lightweight when I struggle to finish a pint.

If I have 2+ I usually feel like dog **** the next morning.

I got the 411 from one of my wife's friends that the closest for cheap weed is the U.P., and oi hadn't considered that. Looking at it, i think it shaves off 2 hours from the round trip. Still 7 hours just for the drive though. I am leaning towards trying it on the 23rd though.

 

[krista4]

WHOA, this Fleetwood Mac song is really good! Who knew? (I guess whoever selected it.)

 

[Pip's Invitation]

All-British blues rock Fleetwood Mac was no joke.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

My son has decided that the name of the cat who came in the house through the window in that “throw the challenge flag” commercial is Frank.

Made me realize I forgot the one that was later covered by Judas Priest.

Nope, but i am one toke over the line.

He definitely looks like a Frank. Very handsome cat. Gonna have a good life with those guys.

In other news, this John Wesley Harding song is pretty cool.

 

[Eephus]

Yikes, just saw the halftime score. I guess I'll do something else before dinner.

Glad it was at least enjoyable even if you aren't drinking much.

That sucks Wisconsin doesn't have recreational yet. Just ridiculous in 2023.

Forgot all about JWH. He's an interesting guy. He used to live in SF in the 90s before the dot com boom. He's written a few novels under his real name Wesley Stace and wrote the introduction to the Modern Library edition of Dickens' The Haunted House.

 

[krista4]

I had to take that drug test this week, and when the guy told me I'd have to take one, he said it all sheepishly and scared. I told him that, even though I'm in Washington, I don't partake (nothing against it and many of my friends do, just not my jam), and it was the loudest sigh of relief I'd ever heard. So dumb at this point in history. And the company I'll be working for is in Colorado, so it's not like some puritan part of the US.

Also, I like this song from The Searchers a lot. Kudos to the almost-drafter.

John Wesley Harding (real name: Wesley Stace) lives in Philly these days and has visited my friend’s record store.

Needles and Pins was on my last five. Love that song. (I guess just not enough for it to make 31.)

This is me nowadays. I'll order a beer when I go to a show but that's about it.

I was in the UP for a day on my North Woods trip last summer. It was funny to see dispensary billboards like 500' from the Wisconsin-Michigan border. There are about a dozen dispensaries within a half mile of my house.

I've entered data from all the lists into the five different documents. I still need to sort and calculate and check for errors, and then I'll need to go through every song for the actual countdown and make the song titles and artist names exactly the same, and add links for those dummies who didn't send any, but Step One is done!

 

[krista4]

Oh, and since I always comment on a song when making another post, I just had another Mrs. R moment when I realized that this Alarm song (Rain in the Summertime) is one I knew and already loved.

There's a nice blast from the past.

 

[krista4]

I'll have to double-check, but it appears that seven of our top 10 songs were from artists other than The Big Three. Maybe not surprising.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

I always thought they started to sound more like U2 once Bono and co broke big, and this song is exhibit A of that.

Absolutely do on this song!

Hey, lookie there, apparently Beth Orton is not from Tennessee or some such. Whom was I mixing her up with?

 

[AAABatteries]

Redacted

Yeah, Van is my favorite artist of all time so choosing 1 wasn't at all easy.

Of all the artists he was maybe my easiest to pick a single song - will explain when we get there.

 

[AAABatteries]

Well that was depressingly quick.

Honey, is that you??

Their breakout song inspired by a Stephen King novel just missed for me.

Sly stone broke out long before King's the Stand

 

[Pip's Invitation]

OMG

 

[Pip's Invitation]

All of you who tuned out may want to put the game back on.

 

[zamboni]

Charlotte has certainly picked up his game in the 2nd half.

 

[Mister CIA]

Thanks for taking my call, long time listener, first time poster.
How can I refresh the current page on my android phone?

And I know about scrolling to the top of the page and swipe down, but that's impractical on long pages

There's probably a better way, but I do the three-step

Using Chrome...

1. Slight thumb down
2. Hit the vertical ellipses in the upper-right
3. Hit the reload icon in the upper-right

Viola!

The wrestling Ortons?

 

[krista4]

I believe!!!

 

[MAC_32]

Hey look, another PM with a change requested!

You are the nicest song nazi ever.

NOCHANGEFORYOU, come back - one year!

I didn't have the ghost of Marty Schottenheimer on my 2023 bingo card

 

[Eephus]

I don't watch much football. Has Tony Dungy ever called a game before?

 

[krista4]

I believe!!!

We did it!!!

He's horrible.
