Did Chad sound constipated as always?

Does he stick the microphone up his ass so you can really hear him straining (perhaps a tiny bit of gas or shit escaping)? Now that's a show! (So long as you have a close-up on the big screen... ideally via camera on the tip of the mike.)

First serious ride of the season on the new brakes.

shockingly, it did pretty well on the worst trail. And my legs don't hurt nearly as much as I'd expected them to.

Good long weekend overall. Went over to a friend's place for a BBQ last night, got home around 3 AM. Good times

I passed my exam with a 90% score. I'm a qualified patent paralegal!

Means a little more as after years in the legal industry as a non-degree holder being treated horribly, I don't think I ever really saw myself with a professional qualification and membership of a chartered body, with more to come too in the next couple of years. I'm going to be a while wrapping my head around this as it means a lot to me. Bouncing off the walls of my home office this morning!

Great news, congrats!

Chad sounded pretty great.

They're guys having a great time and the crowd felt their energy. Great concert

By a band that write their own stuff, perform it live and play their own instruments

But hey, like Dexter says, it's cool to hate yah?

Especially when you're a serial killer!

"Nickleback gets dismembered during their performance by serial killers and audience volunteers" would certainly be an interesting stage show. Though they're probably not hated enough (yet!) for anything but simulations of it. During which they, being very professional, miraculously continue playing while they're being dismembered and tortured to death.

A bit like this amazing performance:

Quote

[The lead singer of Tool] slammed the fan to the ground and put him in a chokehold position. Impressively, he did all of this while still singing and didn’t even miss a beat. He later proceed[ed] to sing while mounted on the back of the fan for ten straight minutes before the roadies eventually led the confused stage invader offstage.

Now that's what I call the music of what happens Progressive (∩ metal)!

I'm going to vote that it's worth the fact that looking at the weather we're going to absolutely drown in the process!

Hasn't time shown you enough
The years have made me far too tough
But you know where I stood when the going got rough
The wind and the rain is my only love
The wind and the rain is all I love

Given the rain here yesterday, drowned AND electrocuted. Hope you all survived.

[Abyss]

So you went down to the river?

[TheRetiredBridgeburner]

Can confirm 100% survival rate. However, organisation and transport were an absolute joke. Even given the fact you can't litigate for mad weather like that, so little thought seems to go into the sheer number of people who need to move around for these big events.

Still, worth it. How the man does 3 hours and still sounds that good at 74 is truly a wonder of science. And it was so nice to see my dad enjoying himself that much, and having a dance together to Twist and Shout.

I GOT A JOB!!! Now the hours will suck because I’ll be on call, and it will be stressful with a lot of responsibility, but it pays well and has good benefits. I wish I could leave IT but this is what I know. I tell everyone not to get into IT if they want a 9-5 job. They are rare in this industry.
