Also Jethro Tull kinda sucks…

Hmmm…maybe I’ll do a Top 25 least favorite artists or something
Eddie Money #1
Eagles

No spotlighting! To be fair I’m not a huge fan but not sure I’d include them

I’m only up to 10 so far, i may have to open up the criteria a bit
I honestly didn't know there really was a thread
It’s in development

I need to wrap up my Top 100 vocalists and then I’ve got another one ready to go
 
I will not stand for any besmirching of the late, great Eddie Money in my thread. You have been warned.


Also, leave my Eagles alone.



Jethro Tull is fair game, however.
I award you Two Tickets to Paradise good buddy

Eddie Money had 23 songs crack the Billboard top 100 over his career. 23. That's a LOT!

He gets crapped on all the time, but 23 songs cracking the Billboard top 100 is no joke. 11 reached top 40. That's rarified air.
 
My wife went to a trade show and made an appointment to have someone come and talk about cleaning our gutters. I told her this was a bad idea because they are going to try and sell us on a completely new system.

Well they did exactly that. After a half hour of talking up their superior system he threw out a quote of .... $18.5K...

for gutters.

And he said the price is going to go up because of tariffs. Took everything I had not to laugh.

I have zero patience of this type of sales ****.

Agreed. I cut it very short and that's that.

You should see my response to the people peddling AT&T to customers in Costco.

Do solar panel bros bug you at home? We get them frequently here and I just point to the No Soliciting sign and then point to the sidewalk.

Our address is on the no soliciting list they're supposed to get from the township. I hardly get them any more.
 
Also Jethro Tull kinda sucks…

My daughter is starting her second year of marching band. Last night was the show reveal. It will include stylized versions of the following:
  • Great Gig in the Sky by Pink Floyd
  • We Will Rock You by Queen
  • Thick as a Brick by Tull
I'm kind of excited about this.

Our kids did Green Day last year. Year before was a Carmen San Diego theme only song i remember is Africa

They’d be a great instrumental band
 
yesterday was my birthday.

I stopped drinking liquor for the most part over a year and a half ago. Maybe a tequila shot here and there, but that's about it. My gf who I live with goes to bed very early on weekdays,

My friends coerced me to go out to our local dive, and I allowed myself to drink maybe a dozen or so shots.

When I was driven home, I rolled out of the car and faceplanted onto my driveway. I remember none of this, but I have cameras at my house, which my gf watched. The best part was my friends standing over my corpse discussing whether to leave me there or carry me into the house.

GF watched all of the video this morning.

When your tolerance is 1 shot and you drink 12, well, the math doesn’t math.

Happy birthday.

This is how people OD, allegedly. They stop their drug of choice and when they return to it they get after it like they used to. :sadbanana: I don’t really drink anymore either.
 
Getting old sucks, part 7912375973.

As referenced upthread, I partied pretty hard a couple weekends ago at my alma mater. My fraternity is recolonizing and about 45 of us old farts came into town to show the young whippersnappers how to properly chug a beer. Not only did I indulge in quite a few cold ones, but I ate like crap too.

Came home feeling absolutely fine, even took a HS buddy out for a few beers on his birthday, last Monday. By Wednesday evening, though, my insides were yelling at me. Not to the same degree as back in February when I was hospitalized with pancreatitis, but definitely had twinges of general discomfort in the mid-section, side and back to some degree.

Got myself on a liquid diet as of Thursday (chicken broth & Jell-o), as that's what they gave me in the hospital back in February. Started feeling a little better yesterday, but ugh... the wifey is a notorious Googler and texted me that she read that pancreatitis can be up to 30% fatal! While that was only partially true (only severe cases can be that high, and even in February when I was hospitalized I was diagnosed with a mild case), I was still having random twinges of discomfort, so I hauled my butt to the ER yesterday afternoon.

The enzyme (lipase) that is tied to your pancreatic health, came back perfectly normal, so either I defeated this ******* on my own, or I didn't even have it this time around. Heck, the ER doc yesterday reviewed my case from February and said that admitting and holding me for 3 days was overkill.

Still, my insides are obviously not happy with me so I have an appointment with another GI specialist and will be getting a colonoscopy. And will be discussing this latest round of discomfort. Something else is going on.

If anything, it was yet another wake-up call to improve my diet and it's probably time I cut out the over-indulgent weekends of greasy food and mass quantities of beer. It's not like I'm 25 anymore.
 
Looks like I’m gonna be back in Portland (OR) with Mrs. O 7/19-7/22 (heading to Astoria for a couple of days) and part of 7/24.
CORNHOLE.....let's make it happen. I should be around.

Absolutely!

Os, what breweries are you going to visit in Astoria?
I’ve only ever been to Astoria Brewing Co. to date. There was a cider place I liked there, but it’s long gone.

Oh, then you're in for a treat! You probably already know about Fort George and Buoy (both excellent) but there are a few others I've been meaning to try, just haven't been out that way in a while.
On top of losing the Cider spot, they closed down Reach Break, which was fabulous. Bummer to see that one go. I think once Breakside moved in, it hurt some of the smaller brew pubs/breweries.
Also, USA Today named Astoria one of the 10 best small towns in the US. Pretty cool. Full list here: https://10best.usatoday.com/awards/best-small-town-in-the-west/

I think Floppinho would've enjoyed marching band... his school doesn't have it.
Don't cry for floppinho, gb @SWC . He's spoiled for performing arts here, even if the suburbs offer stuff we can't replicate like that.

He and 8th grade floppinha will be singing a duet at his last HS "coffee house", something he helps run and has loved doing since he started at this school in 9th grade. (I probably love going even more than he loves performing)

I'm choking up just thinking about it.

Obelisk is another good one there. Under the radar, but really good beers...especially west coast IPAs
