Thing I learned yesterday: When you chew on a white chocolate macadamia nut Clif bar, it sounds a little bit like vinyl static.

The other day I realised that there was a bass part to ‘Wish You Were Here’ that I’d never heard before. I felt very paul-mccartney-facepalm_gifpaul-mccartney-facepalm_gifpaul-mccartney-facepalm_gif, because I had formerly prided myself on knowing the track inside out, upside down, left to right, and back again… or so I thought. I’d even been telling the band that it hadn’t a bass part, and just that day we’d played it with piano instead of bass, even though we’d always had bass in it before. 

All that stuff about pride goething before a fall… it’s twoo, it’s twooahdn_paul_01

Well done…

Speaking of bass parts, I’ve been learning the bass part to Sgt Pepper on my acoustic guitar. I’ve learned that the bass part is actually rather dreadfully boring in Sgt Pepper !a-hard-days-night-paul-10

Because a full moon occurs every 29.5 days, February is the only month that can theoretically occur without a full moon.

The term “Third Degree,” meaning “intense interrogation,” probably originates from Freemason rituals. It is most likely a reference to the Third Degree of master mason, the conferring of which title involved a ceremony that had interrogation as one step.

Deadmalls.com is a pretty neat website on the subject. The YouTube channel This is Dan Bell has really cool videos on the subject, as well.

Something I found out today, there’s 3 ISTPS on this forum (Necko, meanmistermustard, and myself.)

And something more of note, using right handed scissors upside-down does NOT make them cut better for left handers.

On average, a manhole cover weighs between 90lb and 150lb (40.8kg-68kg). Though unusual, it’s not unheard of for one to weigh as much as 250lb (113.4kg).

My brother gets slightly more aggressive than usual when he’s drunk. I got a phone call a few minutes ago (yes 7:15am on a Monday….I know, who the hell goes out on a Sunday night???), that went a little like this:

 

“ASJ?”

-“Yes bro?” (no I don’t actually him bro)

“There’s something wrong with the lock to the main door for my apartment, I can’t get the key in”

-“Okey-dokey I’ll be down in a second” (we live in separate places but it’s like a five second walk to go to the other person’s place)

*throws on bright pink, fluffy bathrobe, walks down stairs/almost falls down stairs*

-“Yes, what’s the problem?”

“I can’t get my key in 🙁 “

*ASJ looks at keyhole it does indeed look like someone shoved a screwdriver into the keyhole and messed it up* (And don’t take this is as a euphemism for anything please, while that is my style of humour, this time it actually just was a keyhole that looked like it was abused by a screwdriver)

-“Huh I’ll call mam”

*calls mam*

-Mam?

Yes ASJ?

-There is something wrong with BroScruff’s lock it’s like someone shoved a screwdriver in it!

Oh I thought that once but he if puts in the key gently then it should fit eventually

-Thank you mother

*walks back to brother*

BroScruff: Shall I kick the door in???????

-No Broscruff that isn’t necessary, (‘you’ll regret it in the morning’ is what I think I said)

I’ll kick the door in!

-No Broscruff, give me the key

The what?

-The key Broscruff

Ah, you can tell I’m a bit messy then?

-Of course I can Broscruff, you look like you haven’t slept in about 20 hours, also you have a 10am lecture you disgrace

*gently puts key in keyhole, it fits*

-Yay! Now go to bed you

Those fuckers (as regards the people living next to him) wouldn’t let me in 🙁

-There, there drunk child, now away to bed with you before you embarrass yourself some more *pats head*

 

Lucky I have a 9am lecture or I wouldn’t be happy that I was woken up earlier than necessary!
