Some guy on YouTube put out a video on bands that never existed. The first on his list was The Blues Brothers. While it is true that the backstory for the band was invented as part of the act, the band consisted of very accomplished studio musicians (several of whom were in the Saturday Night Live band). Clearly he didn't do his research. SMH
Reddit kills me. I got banned from a group I never joined because I replied to a post which Reddit recommended to me. Worse, this isn't the first time it's happened. Why the fuck is Reddit recommending groups to me that clearly don't want me?
I need to get back to reading more. I used to read a lot in my spare time. When I started school in the spring of 2016, homework took over and I stopped reading for fun. I kept buying books, even though I wasn't reading most of them (I did get reading done while on flights or at the laundromat). School is over and it's...

My first round of college killed my desire to read. Second round sparked more of interest for more information to the stuff I already read. Now, I'd like to read but frankly don't feel the same way about it at all.

Nothing like a good book to unwind & escape for a bit. https://www.suicidegirls.com/groups/lit-club/ Group is fun, look for ideas & see what we’re all reading! 🍀
I follow Jordan Hinson, who played Zoe on the TV show Eureka. She frequently posts pics of the steaks she cooks. Recently, she posted a pic while cooking one in a pan. I've never done that, so I decided to give it a shot tonight. I tenderized the steak with a mallet and McCormick steak seasoning. I used 2 tablespoons of butter and about a...

Today, I took a half day off of work to meet up with some of the guys I was in school with. They were a year behind me and that didn't lead to much social interaction. One of my former instructors was there, which was nice. We went to do trap shooting (basically skeet shooting) and I hadn't done that since 2010 (at least). Boy...

I picked up a can of compressed air at Walmart so I could clean out my AC's filter. It's a restricted item so the cashier had to approve it.
Cashier: "are you 18?"
Me: "no"
>he reaches for the OK button on the screen<
Cashier: "ok then..... wait, what?"
Me: "I passed 18 a log time ago."
Cashier: "oh, haha."
Me: "You asked the wrong...

I went to ACE Hardware to get a hair strainer for my bath tub. The employees there wear a red vest that says ACE Hardware and jeans. I am wearing khaki shorts, orange shirt and black photo vest. Someone came up and asked "can you help me find something?" I said "I don't work here." For some reason, the dude didn't know that I wasn't...

Back in late winter 2013, I was working a second job at a McDonald's. We ran out of something so they sent me to the store a block away. As I was walking through the store, someone asked if I could tell them where an item was. I said "I don't work here" and the person replied "you fucking liar." I unzipped my jacket and showed them my McD's shirt and said "I don't work here!" The asshole gave me the stink-eye and walked away. As I was in line to check out, I realized the person's confusion. The employees wear blue shirts and black pants. My McD's uniform was a blue shirt and black pants.
When I got to work, I noticed our scrap hopper was very full. It had long pieces of metal sticking straight up like it's the Iron Throne. I asked the manager to have someone empty it. After a while the forklift shows up and the guy asks "is that it?" I said "nope. It's the other one."

That was the right answer.
While I was on break at 5pm, a co-worker said he heard it was supposed to rain but he hadn't seen any rain all day. I said "we still have 7 hours until midnight."
As I was leaving Kwik Trip, I started the car and Volbeat's song Seal The Deal started playing. Some young guy says "boomers don't listen to rock" and I replied "I ain't no boomer, kid. I'm Gen x." I cranked the stereo and left.

Yeah. People gotta learn about us Gen X'ers and our "DGAF" attitudes. lol.

The dude was most likely gen Z and I've seen other accounts of them not knowing the difference. To some of them, anyone with grey hair is a boomer. ...forgotten again. :) To be fair, I have worked with a couple zen Z that were impressed that I listen to modern rock at work (and not classic rock).
