Don't tell that to all the parents who buy balloons for their kids' birthday parties. 😁

Where's he been? I haven't seen him here for a good while.

Holy shit I remember you. Welcome!

I don't know what that is, but I'm sure Attack of the 50 Foot Woman probably beat it to the scene.

Happy birthday!

I have a horrible secret. When my parents take me out for my birthday next year (assuming we'll actually be done with all this bullshit by then) I want them to get the staff to sing happy birthday to me. But that was only very recently I wanted that. Almost me entire life my stance was "you do that to me I will never forgive you." But I don't want to tell my parents that I changed my mind because that seems kinda pathetic, you know, "Hey mom, can you ask them to sing happy birthday for me, please?" Like you requesting your own birthday song seems like it would make you seem conceited or starved for attention or something. It's not your loved ones wishing you a happy birthday, it's you're wishing yourself a happy birthday.

I'm guessing I had gas permeable lenses then. Yeah, fuck those.

About what year did you first get gas permeable lenses?

Not really what I was asking.... I don't remember what my eye doctor called them exactly, but my mom referred to them as "hard lenses" when I wore them, and she had experience with them too (not sure if she eventually moved to soft lenses). Never heard (or don't recall) the term gas permeable. Just wondering if we're talking about the same thing.

Ok I get it. You don't have to post every popular song about this guy. (or covers of the traditional ballad, whatever).

I'm from the bay area, I didn't move here until I was 12. Also I don't think I know any train nuts, lol.

It may have been for you, but it wasn't for me. Also... NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH CASEY JONES INQUISITION

Well that was unexpected.

I honestly didn't expect there to be another famous Casey Jones.

Yeah, I could see it being true with them, lol.

I don't know how true that is.... my dad's only hippie leanings are he likes the music they made, everything else the hippies were about, he wasn't.

Ah. My dad's a fan, me not so much. I should give them a proper try sometime, but that song that has the line "I will get by" is so god fucking awful it sucked all the will out of me to seek out their stuff that the actual fans like.

And now a seemingly random TMNT quote? Casey Jones is a TMNT character right? Am I thinking of the right person?

Doesn't Jesus normally just blow off granny though?

Are gas permeable contacts the same as hard contacts? Because if so, fuck them, fuck them to hell. @Le Guignon get yourself some glasses instead.

If his intention is to make fun of the type of his character, he's putting himself in a position where he can be in a whole world of hurt for literally no payoff whatsoever. He makes no one whatsoever other than himself look like a complete jackass.

lol no. I gravitated towards the Internet so much because it's so much easier to express myself this way. IRL I hardly say anything. I completely lack the ability to carry on a conversation irl. Here it helps that a lot of us have common interests. Not a lot of people irl to talk about cartoons with. And I avoid talking about my forever-aloneness irl as much as humanly possible. Also I avoid talking about politics irl as much as humanly possible for obvious reasons. Even if I get the sense whoever I'm speaking to generally has the same political leanings as me, I still don't want to talk about it. Really the only people irl I have to talk about music with are my bandmates, but even then it's basically just the well known bands, except one of my bandmates we sometimes talk about underground metal, but that's like it.

Quackers channeling his inner Ben Garrison by labeling everything for no reason.

There is literally nothing zeni about this.

I have not seen My Cousin Vinny. And I have no idea why my dad's ineptitude with technology makes him like Gen Z instead of a boomer.
