Thanks to certain personalities in the fediverse, I can now appreciate this joke. I feel like I’ve been let into a club.

Why do you think that? It’s as easy as striking up a short conversation with a waiter at a restaurant or someone at a coffee shop.

If someone chooses one tent pole thing to check out and otherwise just putzes around it doesn’t seem all that strange.

Read this, quite literally did a cartwheel in an act of whimsy and solidarity against the encroaching darkness before responding.

(It was actually kind of fun and my back only hurts a tiny bit. One handed cartwheels used to be the preferred move, but fuck no).

You can get cans at Dollaramas in ON for sure, but you’re right, I haven’t seen the canister-style bottles for a looong time.

Used to drink unhealthy amounts of that shit.

I LOVE Morel Orel. It’s shockingly heavy shit. Alone in particular fucking killed me.

Congratulations, you have now introduced me to Thee Ultra Bimboos and I will be forever grateful. Deep pool of stuff with this venue, excellent comment!

Edit: Holy shit, this place has been around forever! Found some stuff from a DVD rip for a show in 1974. God damn, thanks dude!

Not everyone likes your country-fried music, Bluegrass_Addict!

(This is a joke, good to hear from you dude. You are right, this is a glaring omission and has been rectified).

Unfortunately, I’ve only heard legends about Zaphods, missed the boat on that one personally. Lots of band footage on the web though!

Well whaddya know, we just got one of those ourselves! History Ottawa.

Will probably update as I think of more/add common genre family tags. If other Ottawans (the like between three or five of you I know are here) see this and want to add something, particularly for the defunct list, let me know.

First video I saw was for Electric Riders - oh fuck yeah bud, thank you!

Mountain climbing? Maybe.

Cave diving? Nope nope nope, fuck that. Fuck spelunking too if it involves more than crouching a little bit.

Likely going to work on setting up something more robust in the coming months, but a Debrid subscription + Streamio has served me pretty well with only two failures to date (this one included).

Ugh, I still feel kinda guilty for going hard on someone’s less than well thought out presentation once, to the point that she made the fastest beeline out of a room I’ve ever seen after class…

We had those, but it was always one of the punks in the friend group who had got their hands on a tattoo gun.

The tattoos produced generally weren’t great, but I could see a young dude/dudette with artistic talent putting cool shit on their friends for practice.

YOUR SCREEN REMINDS ME TODAY OF THAT OF A SMALL, MEXICAN CHIHUAHUA.

(Just finished a rewatch of the OG Twin Peaks and Fire Walk With Me, currently miffed I can’t watch The Return via my usual streaming method)

looks at this

looks at chicken uncurse from a couple weeks ago

Motherfucker did I get cursed again?? What the hell did I do??

Appreciate the save though, lil’ magical capybara.

Meanwhile, ticks:

Was gonna say, with enough booze all things are possible.

Benefits: free body hair grooming (don’t mind that the razor is rusty)

I can think of few finer things in life.
