Here is a case of both sides going too far:

Oregon Resident, Sentenced To Jail For Stockpiling Rainwater

Guy creates a 13 million gallon reservoir out of rain water, defies law, gets into legal battle, sentenced to a month in jail..

As in the days of "Desert Island Discs", I thought about this way longer than expected (or necessary), and ultimately decided to order them as they came into my life... these were the bands, that at the time , I could not stop listening to, and have never stopped listening to them... had t...

That's not my dog.

That is exactly what I said when she pooped on my bedroom floor...

I picked up one of these Soundfreq Sound Kicks about two years ago (about $90 at the time from Target) and have been very pleased. Synchs via Bluetooth but also has audio/USB jacks, and an iOS app as well.

Gracias.

Same question... downloading the 2nd, but would love to know what others think...

UPDATE: downloaded one at work, one at home, both sound great

I think there's a ton to talk about in this song, but just one thought for now because it just struck me reading your post, beaverdam. To the extent that the song is about musing on getting older, choices made and not made, etc, the fact that the song is not narrated first person by the Dad is an i...

Can you share any specific lyrics or such that you are thinking of?

phungi

Oh, be honest...if Clams came walking up to you in the hall on Monday, what would you do? I mean picture this, you're there with all the sports. I know exactly what you'd do, you'd say hi to him and when he left you'd cut him all up so your friends wouldn't think you really liked him.

I'll leave you with this: If Patterson knows enough to "Blame Clams," then no thread is safe!

... I went into a rage & turned around & punched the guy in the forehead, & actually made contact. I don't think I've ever thrown a punch in my life. At that point, the crowd got the guy out of there, thank goodness. Just wanted to put that out here in case anyone else saw me lose my te...

Great cap to a 2-night run/bender which also happened to be my first two DBT shows.

Appreciate being welcomed into the fray, and great meeting, drinking, hanging out, and rocking out with a great group of people.

As for why I was there at all, well, as my signature says:

I'm in and am a neophyte... Meeting Mr. and Mrs Clams (the Clamses?) who are arriving around show time, so I will look for some friendly faces at the LDC. Lancaster Dispensing Company it is then.

For those who are interested, the Mechanicsburg DBT crew will be at the Lancaster Dipensing Company for pre game. I'm in and bringing a neophyte. I'm in and am a neophyte...

I look forward to meeting Phungi especially after his track of the week write up.

Likewise... Also going to be in Lancaster on Wednesday.

I missed that (loves vs. loathes) as I took the easy route and copied the lyrics online... listened to the EO version, and it is definitely "loves" on the studio version, but much harder to confirm from several live versions on Archive.org. Interesting that the line is offset by "but&...

Nothing more daunting for a newbie than to tackle a "Song of the Week" but what better way to leap in than head-first? "When She's Gone" appears, on the surface, as another song in the genre of unhappy women trapped in a co-dependent relationship. Perhaps she simply "can't f...

In know this is a long-discussed classic, but as one who is only now learning the DBT back-catalogue, these threads are a great resource. One question that has not been asked: why did Mama call the law? The first verse sets up "Daddy" as one mean mofo, but the act of calling the law on one...

I came to post this and saw that marklynn already had but thought I'd post it in this thread particularly for when people revisit it later. From PH: I thought Rev. Matt did a great job with his interpretation of the song. It's open ended enough (I would hope) that anyone's interpretations should wo...

I can't help but think of Pauline Hawkins as an older, more mature version of the female characters that broke stereotypes in songs like Joe Jackson's "Different for Girls" or Liz Phair's "Fuck and Run". These two examples involve appear to portray post- or adolescent gals in the...

Man. Boiling it down to 20..just couldn't. Don't yell. Don't fret, I've been working on an intro mix for a friend for the past couple years that I'm having trouble keeping under 50 tracks.
