Unrelatedly, we have a blue square griddle whose description uin the ERP is "sq shllw grdl agave" and I always want to read it as "shallow grave"
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

One of the Midnight Burger side projects, Welcome to the Horizon (which is awesome) is abbreviated WTTH, and I always read it as Welcome to the Hellmouth, because BTVS got in my brain first and now there's no room for a different reading of that abbreviation.

Yeah, no getting away from that. It looks like I will be running into "subscribers only" episodes of Midnight Burger before too long. btw, so I guess I will have to figure out how to subscribe. There are multiple options and that is confusing! But probably if I just accept that I am already ensconced in the Podcasts app and go with that it will be fine.

I'm pretty sure the subscriber-only episodes are on YouTube, so you might want to check there first.

Thanks for the tip! I always forget about YouTube. I watch Josh Johnson on it every week but I forget about everything else

I've explored a bit over in their Patreon -- they have quite the community! And a devoted fan base. And interactive creators. And a listen-and-post Discord... server, space, whatever they're called... It's a whole-ass fandom, with message boards and meet-ups, etc. I don't quite have the oomph to immerse myself, but it is pleasant to see. I think they had their first "Burger Con" in Chicago this year. Good times! May they have the good fortune to stay cool, fun, and drama free.

It's my only appointment TV these days!
ETA - JJ is. Midnight Burger not being TV. I am already contemplating MB merch, though. I like the mug with the quote about coffee on it a lot

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.
Who is marching tomorrow? I kind of feel like I have to, even though my anxiety is already over the top.

I am. Same place I've gone the last 2-3 times, though I'm expecting more people so that will be interesting. It's peaceful suburbia so unlikely to get confrontational, I hope. Mostly I know the parking situation and all my other options are much worse for that.
