The main thing I can recall is how they served stuffed cabbage rolls for lunch almost every single day. I absolutely hated them back then! I used to sneak one into my pocket to bring home, only to end up flushing it down the toilet later.
At home, we usually had shepherd's pie for dinner. I hated that just as much, so I’d just shove it under the couch.

I guess I got caught red-handed on both fronts pretty quickly.

My top 3 favorites (excluding the absolute legend):
1. lonebison37
2. stressee
3. deathless

I’m not really one for reminiscing about my childhood, if you don't mind me saying—let's move on to something else! 😬

So, is that birthday party actually happening out on the street?

I wonder if Blondie was on the lineup?

edit: oh, screw it! 😬

lonebison37 said:Well, I suppose you could go with pure green ones alongside salty snacks. Or maybe the red ones. Sometimes they even have that smoky aroma, for instance 🙄 😁

As far as I'm concerned, any kind works well with food. Except for those "fruity" ones—that just doesn't feel like tea at all 😈 :hitler: 😬

Saxophone said:Maybe it was Spartan? I think they had that whole "sound mind in a sound body" philosophy going on. Just a hunch, though.

Well, my German isn't exactly up to par, so 😬I might be off base here.

Saxophone said:But if you aren't, let me tell you—that feeling of having zero control over your chest bouncing up and down while you're out for a run is definitely not a fun experience.

Running was actually invented by Hitler!🙂

🙂
I guess I'd also add that having backup gear is mostly useful and necessary precisely when you FORGET to bring it along! 😁

Which song would you guys pick?

Here are my top 10 takeaways from my "career" as a gigging musician:

1. When a guitarist claims their volume ratio is "just right," what they actually mean is they’re twice as loud as everyone else in the band.
2. If an audio engineer tells you, "we'll fix it in the mix," they really mean, "you guys messed up the first time, and I honestly can't be bothered to redo it."
3. The color of a brand-new guitar pick will always somehow match the exact color of the carpet you're about to drop it on.
4. Drummers just seem to have a bit of a struggle when it comes to expressing themselves.
5. The sound engineer is always right—even when they are definitely not right.
6. I've learned that picking a fight with the sound guy is probably a terrible idea.
7. On the flip side, making friends with the sound guy is a brilliant move, whether he turns out to be a total amateur or a complete legend.
8. The instrument levels in your monitors during a live show and during soundcheck are NEVER the same.
9. I’m pretty sure about 90% of clubs in the country own a Trace Elliot bass amp.
10. Most of the time, soundcheck doesn't actually serve much of a purpose at all.

gentlepuma20 said:Oh, you absolute upper-class snobs! I suppose even a little bit of Hershey's 👎 is better than nothing, right? 👍

Honestly, I could go for both, maybe? 🙂

gentlepuma20 said:Oh, that definitely isn't cafeteria food. Corny is actually a pretty high-end, fancy chocolate brand.

Well, maybe not anymore! I guess even the suburban kids can get their hands on it now. 😍

SO CORNY! 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

gentlepuma20 said:Mis aj keeps getting caught up in all these little catfights. Someone really needs to reel her in! Come on, Pen! 🎉

😬

Haha, honestly, I think I’m actually rooting for Mis aj. Go get 'em, girl, show them how it's done! 🎉
