Hey fox, womp, Dr. Garbanzo, and weenie! Nothing much new over here, just letting the fact that I'll be returning to The Gorge sink in. Dr. Garbanzoured I should sign back up, eat some humble pie, and rejoin the herd. We didn't win tickets. That would have been sweet, but we decided to just pull the trigger and make it happen this year rather than regret it all summer. It helps that The National are headlining a night, as they're the better half's favourite. What's new with you guys? I see the s are still in full effect around here, so I apologize in advance if I have no idea who people are. weenie, definitely beers.

Is your friend HG? Because you just described him. Pretty much. Although it's not like I'm a different person in real life, just the circumstances under which you are likely to encounter me in real life are infinitely more relaxing than the circumstances under which I respond to imbeciles on the internet. It seems to me that people are intentionally stupid on the internet, and it frustrates the shit out of me. If people in real life were as willfully ignorant, lazy and asinine as they are on message boards, I'd never be able to leave the house. I have zero tolerance for bullshit, and this board can be a fucking magnet for bullshit. I react to bullshit in public the same way that I react to bullshit on the internet. I like most people, and my friends generally don't act like the people who I bark at on this message board do. That's why they're my friends. Sometimes when I feel the need to give a verbal dressing-down on the internet, your standard Tough Guy Internet Asshole will try to call me out with ' DERRRRR YOU'D NEVER SAY THAT SHIT TO MY FACE AND IF YOU DID I'D BEAT YOUR ASS', which I have always thought is a flawed argument because if someone were to act in such a way in public that I felt the need to respond the way that I do on the internet then Tough Guy Asshole would likely be far more concerned about everyone else in the room beating his ass than he would be concerned with beating mine. Of course I know that I overreact sometimes -- sometimes I get bored. And it certainly doesn't help that I am wicked smart and incredibly articulate, but on the other hand using words like 'asinine' and 'articulate' and 'circumstances' are all that it takes for a surprising number of people on the internet to feel condescended to. It's a short road from there to defensiveness and aggression, and then it's game on.

...oh, and I'm still pretty condescending in real life but when you hang out with me you start to realize how funny it actually is.

It's a short road from there to defensiveness and aggression, and then it's game on. Your throwing too many big words at me, because I don't understand them, I'm going to take them as disrespect. I think seeing HG as a nice young man would forever ruin the Gramma persona I have grown to know.

I'm not that young. In about a month and a half I'll be 33 1/3, which actually strikes me as a truly fucking excellent reason to have a(nother) party.

I was reading some reddit posts about the lineup party and chuckling at the people who were like "who is this drunk mess in the live stream?" Made me miss this place and the shitshow lineup announcement threads of years past.
