Random thought thread!

They must be spreading like crazy now. One showed up here in Omaha about 18 months ago. Now there are 3 within a 15 minute drive from my work. They are springing up everywhere here…and they are delicious. Box Combo, hold the slaw, double bread, double sauce.

Aretha Franklin singing Respect. For the longest time I thought she sings, “R…E…S…P…E…C…T, Take out TCP.” And that made no sense. So I finally looked it up. She actually sings,“R…E…S…P…E…C…T, Take care… TCB.” TCB meaning take/taking care of business. I’m not too bright.

The sheep don’t like it! Rock the cat box!

Wrapped up like a douche, another rumour in the night. . .

Excuse me while I kiss this guy.

In lieu of a Like, here, have a Tarja:

I haven’t heard anything by her side they booted her out of Nightwish. Infact I haven’t heard anything by Nightwish since they booted her out…

But looking up her latest stuff:

Meh. Completely generic. Her new songwriter sucks compared to the keyboard guy from Nightwish. She should have moved into Kate Bush style music with a twist of metal.

You should look them up. The last two Nightwish albums in particular have been great, IMHO. Imaginaerum and Endless Forms Most Beautiful are both concept albums, and plenty of good individual songs on each. Still can’t keep a singer around for long, but they somehow keep finding good ones.

And very different album types. Imaginarium has this undertone of blues. Endless forms has an even stronger folk influence than the days of even Wishmaster.

Endless Forms is actually the best Nightwish album, I was surprised to realize the other day. Then again, I never liked Anette much… But Floor? Good goddamn she’s incredible live (and I say that having seen them perform once apiece with each vocalist).

Agreed! I saw them back in February and it was awesome. That’s the only Nightwish show I’ve been to, though. I envy you those opportunities to see prior lineups!

Self driving truck.

The good part? Beer delivery.

The bad part? Bud.

You know how the self-driving cars occasionally bump into things and everyone walks away. You want to find me someone who had a semi bump into them and they walked away?

Here’s a good way to waste a few minutes. You’ll need to be able to use the sound on your computer to fully enjoy:

Just saw this look on a guy and not sure how to feel about it. Guy has a beard, and his hair is blonde down to about the midst of his sideburns. Below this, it’s dark brown/black (hard to tell from a distance) lower sideburns and beard. He’s basically two-toned. I’m not sure if this is cool, lazy or weird.

Mine is somewhat similar. Dark brown to about mid ear, and almost a copper color below that.

But do you dye it like that, or is it natural?

This was a level of blonde that seemed dyed, so the whole thing was premeditated, I think.

No, natural. I’m exceedingly lazy about my hair, so dying it takes too much work.

Maybe he dyed his hair black and then just gave up on it? Really long blonde roots?
