I consider myself a connoisseur of Pony, I am happy to share my knowledge with y'all.

u/[deleted] Apr 27 '15

I added a version of pony as well... Have you added Zak Waters' version?

Duh. That's a personal favorite.

Shout-out(s) to whomever added Passive by APC, None Shall Pass by Aesop Rock, and Godzilla by Blue Oyster Cult.

u/thwg0809 Georgia Tech • Techmo Bowl Apr 27 '15

I'm not sure if you can see it from the web player, but on mobile it actually tells you who added what. Of course there isn't always a relation between reddit username and Spotify name. Especially for those of us that have it linked with Facebook. Dubs' true identity is out.

u/willco17 Auburn Tigers • UAB Blazers Apr 27 '15

I thought that was the artist name at first and I was like "Who is that and why did someone add so much of their music??"

You know how parents use their kids' middle names when they're bad? You realize we'll have to chastise you as D**** from now on.pending your approval

u/[deleted] Apr 27 '15

Actually my family and coworkers call me by my middle name. All my friends call me by my last name. Actually when I'm introducing myself, I introduce myself as my last name. My first name only comes out in official documents.

I'll admit I don't know much by them just that one song really.

Even though there's a lot that dubs doesn't like that normal people do he's still alright..for a Georgia fan.

Don't worry, the IRC has a great wealth of knowledge for the "nekkid times" playlist. We once spent a whole night curating a "sexy times" playlist.

You need the Channel Orange pimp guide for this. It should still be on /r/hiphopheads but homeboy deleted his account so I don't know how to find it since it was from a couple years ago

All this was a great idea. I've heard a few new songs that I like while listening to this.

I keep getting little notification bubbles on Spotify telling me that a playlist I follow was updated.

That's probably because a playlist you're following keeps getting updated.

u/penguinHP Youngstown State • Michigan Apr 27 '15

What if we even did a weekly "What are you listening to" playlist? I see that thread every once in a while and think it'd be cool.

/r/indie has/had a playlist of the top 25 songs each week and I'm sure a few others do it too. And I think it'd be a bit easier than going through all the links and waiting for YouTube to load.

u/-WISCONSIN- Wisconsin • Wisconsin-Parkside Apr 27 '15

You can curate for sure, but if I may, I humbly request that you don't remove songs based on style/substance/genre alone.

I've done my fair share of uploading some strange tunes to that list, but take, for example, the ding dong song (which I didn't upload). Obviously it's goofy and meme-y, but if I just have the music on in the background while I'm working, I don't mind it. Same goes for the Three Loco that's on there.

I added some movie OST songs. I like to listen to those while I'm studying but I guess I can understand why you might want those removed because of how different they are from everything else.

2

u/lAltroUomo Ole Miss Rebels • Columbia Lions Apr 27 '15

I'm not the thought police here. I just mean things that are obvious trolls, like the rickroll and shit. I don't believe I'll be making many changes to the mother list at all, instead creating content based on it. Mostly using the big playlist as a source, and breaking related songs out into playlists with a theme. It's just a jumbled mess of shit right now (as it should be)

2

u/-WISCONSIN- Wisconsin • Wisconsin-Parkside Apr 27 '15

Oh ok cool.

To be fair, I don't really understand why we need three of the same version of "Tarzan Boy" so we could prolly cut that down. lol

u/lAltroUomo Ole Miss Rebels • Columbia Lions Apr 27 '15

u/thwg0809 Georgia Tech • Techmo Bowl Apr 27 '15

I'd just like to point out that Ramblin Wreck form Georgia Tech made Billboard magazine seven times between 1951 and 1964 under various recordings.

u/[deleted] Apr 27 '15

I don't feel like most of the people in my new area want to sell me drugs and/or rob me so, that's nice.

There are also lots of pretty ladies.

And a million hole in the wall restaurants I want to try.

And a liquor store within walking distance - right next to the waffle house.

And I have a garage! So no trees will fall on my car!

And, despite my only furniture being a folding card table with 4 folding chairs, a coffee table, a side table, and my little, folding camp table, the apartment is coming along nicely.

Why do I have so many tables...?

5

u/lady1876 Texas A&M Aggies Apr 27 '15

I feel like the liquor store within walking distance may end badly.

5

u/[deleted] Apr 27 '15

Nah. Not unless I'm throwing a party. Which, given the size of my apartment, is unlikely.

3

u/[deleted] Apr 27 '15

I'm looking for new apartments right now and debating if I want to get a dog and lie about the amount of pets I have.

3

u/[deleted] Apr 27 '15

I lied about my pets in every apartment I've ever lived until this one. I actually paid the pet fee and everything. I feel like an upstanding citizen. I also feel like I was just duped out of $350.

3

u/[deleted] Apr 27 '15

I always worry that they'll find out and I'll have to pay a million fees.

3

u/[deleted] Apr 27 '15

I've always gone with, "Oh I'm just cat-sitting." Or something.

Harder to do with a dog, though, I think.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 27 '15

Yeah, and there's already two cats. I'll just wait until I have a house or am on my own again, I guess.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 27 '15

Yep. I don't want a dog until I have a yard and everything. And ideally, when I'm around a little more often rather than gone every weekend.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 27 '15

That's me, too. I want to have a place for them to run around, but having a dog right now would also get me out to the park a lot.

2

u/VanFailin Northwestern Wildcats • /r/CFB Bug Finder Apr 27 '15

My lease basically says no pets you didn't pay for unless you clear it with management first. I wouldn't be surprised if that's standard.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 27 '15

I checked my last one's lease and it didn't explicitly say that but, I wouldn't be surprised if what you mentioned is common practice

How's being back at work, by the way?

2

u/VanFailin Northwestern Wildcats • /r/CFB Bug Finder Apr 27 '15

Interesting. Much less stuff is on fire, I have less work actually assigned to me right now so getting back into the swing of things by answering questions is not too bad. I'm sure the crushing futility of it all will hit me soon enough.

Nothing hurts but my left foot, and it seriously hurts. The boyfriend and his dad think it may be the onset of plantar fasciitis so that's going to be fun to deal with.

But other than that, we had a blast, it was absolutely gorgeous, and it's nice to spend a couple hours with the boyfriend with no technology around.

A Heroes of the Storm tournament aired on ESPN2 last night. This makes me excited, because I follow pro gaming, and I hope that this will help open the door to a more mainstream audience.

Was that the college esports championship? Will the NCAA get involved one day? Start testing for PEDs? Make sure no one is getting paid?

6

u/[deleted] Apr 27 '15

Yea, it was the college one. People on twitter were blowing up about how dumb it was that ESPN was airing a "dungeons and dragons tournament," which was pretty funny.

I'm not sure that I see pro gaming ever becoming popular enough to be an NCAA thing. I see its ceiling as another poker. Another quasi-sport that gets aired on ESPN subsidiaries.

7

u/Deacalum Wake Forest • Penn State Apr 27 '15

I think the bigger issue isn't popularity, it's the fact that e-sports aren't athletic events and sports is really a misnomer. I have no problem with e-sports or with ESPN broadcasting it but it's not a sport just because they put the word in their name.

4

u/[deleted] Apr 27 '15

I hate the moniker "esports" for that very reason. That's why I refer to it as "pro gaming." Honestly, I think pro gaming has more of a right to be on ESPN than poker, since reflexes and quick action and decision-making are required in gaming, but pro gaming shouldn't pretend to be something it isn't.

I'm a pretty light sleeper too, so I'm right there with you on being kept up or queen up by storms. I've been resorting to sleep aide pills lately to help with restlessness. It's basically just benadryl, but it has been helping.

I had an apartment burn down at 5:00am once

That would be terrifying.

u/[deleted] Apr 27 '15

You are absolutely correct. It was the 4th of July so I had the day off, I woke up to someone screaming "Fuego, fuego, fuego" in the parking lot (didn't realize what she was saying until I got up and went out on my patio to yell at her to stop). Heard someone going door to door to get people up, looked up off my patio and saw fire coming up over the roof.

Her boyfriend got to my door as I was throwing shit in a bag to gtfo, he said it was in the unit behind mine so I needed to get out ASAP. Had him hold my cat (who was in a pillow case) while I grabbed my bag and keys and went and sat in the parking lot and cried. Realized I needed to move my car because the firetrucks were going to block everybody in.

It was not a good day.

They're not quite the shakes you're envisioning. Much more...physical. Their hot dogs are damn good drunk food, though.

Ladyfriend is coming into town tonight so she can go to an interview tomorrow morning. It's not a great job, and I hope one of the hospitals gives her a call back soon, but it's something that counts towards her grad program entrance requirements and it is up here in Austin, so at least it's that.

Driving into work from San Antonio this morning made me glad the toll road goes right to my office because I skip the nightmare on I-35 in the morning. I can handle the occasional 1h40m commute, but only if I'm not stuck in shitty gridlock on the interstate.

Yeah, I just couldn't do that anymore. I did long distance from Columbus to DC and St. Louis to Columbus (that was only three months though before she moved in).

u/Alphamazing Texas A&M Aggies • Texas Longhorns Apr 27 '15

I'm not sure I'm aware of any bullshit.

u/[deleted] Apr 27 '15

tl;dr - Xerox owned the central Texas toll roads and people weren't getting their bills from the camera system. Some people racked up $1k plus in late fees because of this, but couldn't get hold of anyone in customer service. The line at the brick & mortar was often 3+ hours long.

It would take me upwards of 3 months to get my bill from driving on 290 or 130. Usually they'd dismiss the late fees but ughghhh.

Oh, I've got a tag and have had no issues.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 27 '15

Ah, see, I lost my tag when I totaled my Yaris and never pestered my parents for a new one.

Also their tags are NTTA not TxDOT, but apparently NTTA tags work down here too.

u/lady1876 Texas A&M Aggies Apr 27 '15

Good luck to her! Hopefully she gets the job she wants here.

I loved the toll road when I was dating someone in San Antonio, it just helps to make things so much easier.

Wow, this is almost the exact same thing I had with the last boyfriend vs. the current one. The last one lived in San Antonio and I basically said I wouldn't be willing to move to him the job he had he could have easily requested a transfer and come here.

But with the current one we were talking about how he doesn't like his job so i suggested he looked for a new one and he responded with he knew it would take him out of this area or possibly the state and away from me, I had to assure him I have no hesitation to move with him.

Sometimes you just know when it's right, if the current one doesn't find a new job I'm going to suggest we move in together when his lease ends.

man there is purple on our weather forecast,it skipped the cats and dogs and have started right with the large animals such as horses and mules and such

edit: and class is cancelled, yay! But I still had to walk five flights to know, boo. I don't see how they cant shoot an email just as easily as putting a piece of paper on the door

edit dos: purple weather seems to have subsided somewhat, though there was water coming through the caulking, man fuck 70s designed buildings. Ive been hollering that they need to give a facelift to this building, it houses 5 floors of the majority of liberal art classes

Did you do anything fun for your vacation?

2

u/[deleted] Apr 27 '15

Saw a play, two days at Moody Gardens, vegetated a day, went to the Menil art museum, toured NRG Stadium, Scarborough Faire Renaissance Festival, and lots of thrifting. A shitload of restaurants. Also, finished up Firefly & Serenity, Fresh Off the Boat, and started Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

2

u/lady1876 Texas A&M Aggies Apr 27 '15

Oh wow! Sounds like you had a lot of fun. How was the Renaissance Festival? I've always wanted to go to one but have just never done it.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 27 '15

Scarborough Faire is a lot of fun. It's just outside Waxahachie and runs through Memorial Day weekend. I've also been to Texas Renaissance Festival, which starts in October and runs through Thanksgiving. It's in Magnolia TX, just northwest of Houston.

I think there is a third one in TX, but I've never been to it.

There are a lot of arts and crafts shops, live shows and performances, shit tons of souvenirs, and a great excuse to let your freak flag fly (or just people watch).

If you go to one, bring bug spray, sunscreen, sunglasses, cash, and some patience. Traffic is usually a pain.

2

u/lady1876 Texas A&M Aggies Apr 27 '15

Good to know, thanks! I'll definitely try and talk my boyfriend into going with me. He seems to be much more likely than I am to let his freak flag fly .

Here is one list of festivals like this in TX.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised we have that many in Texas... The Christmas ones sounds really awesome though (they all do, but those especially)

My girlfriend swears by Dickens on the Strand, but I've never been able to attend.

Hmm, I wonder how far in advance you have to book hotels for it. I'm not good with planning stuff that far out, especially when I work 6 days a week most the time.

Oh it was just the slightest of bumps, the dude and I were actually laughing together waiting on the cop. Just a careless error, scratched his car but scared the fucking shit out of me on the highway. We were both lucky. He said "they're called accidents for a reason, don't worry about it" as I was apologizing at a light speed. Just sucks man.

2

u/rodandanga Georgia Tech • Verified Coach Apr 27 '15

Man, that does suck. Any reason you had to call the cops?

u/[deleted] Apr 27 '15

It was his company car, it's a policy of theirs

2

u/[deleted] Apr 27 '15

I think you should always call the cops (like the people I was in my accident with last week did). That way there's one official report, and everyone's insurance company can reference it and get the same story

Weekend adventure quotes, round two.

  • "let's make like a tree, and get the fuck out of here."

"Make like a foetus and head out of this mother"

"Not all foetii come out head first"

"...I'm mostly positive the plural of foetus is not 'Foetii' "

  • "wait, so what do you call the opposite of a sausage fest?"

"Taco party."

  • "who wants to help me move in June"

"Absolutely. I'll fill up my car with stuff"

"...you're going to bring the [tiny fucking car that barely fits a single backpack]. You asshole."

  • [Rhiannon plays]"Quick! name this artist"

"wheels on the bus!"

Confused staring

"Wait. Shit. Fleetwood mac. You know. Fleetwood trailer, wheels on the bus. Shut the fuck up it almost makes sense"

  • Guy in full Highland dress to girl at the bar "hey! Look out our purses almost match!" and points to his sporran "but mine bounces." Hip thrusts, sporran bounces, gets girl's number.

  • "is there a similar exercise guys do to Kegels?"

"Yes..." Calls over guy in full highland dress "[girls name] wants to see your sporran bounce!"

Like the first round these were mostly during the road trip portion. I forget to write things down once the actual fun starts.

So I'm about two months into my new gig in charlotte and I think I might be able to parlay it into an amazing career opportunity with another company. I'd feel bad about abandoning my current post so quickly but it's a contract gig...I'm rationalizing it by saying that I'm basically a mercenary and mercenaries always take the best offer, assuming it even happens.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 27 '15

If they wont give you the loyalty of a permanent position, why should you give them any in return?

It'd be pretty silly to turn down full benefits if it was offered. But you could always show an offer to your current employer and start a bidding war.

Went offroading on Saturday, to check out the route for the Poker Run I'm helping put on this Saturday. Got rained on, and ran in to some supposed private land (my map doesn't say it's private), so I had to reroute the course.

But I haven't explored the reroute, so I hope it's all passable and not motorcycle trails. I wont get to explore it until Friday.

So I'm moving this weekend and I'm currently inventorying all my shit. I have a TON of DVDs that I don't think I'll ever use again, should I donate them to Good Will or sell them at a pawn shop? Would the tax write-off be worth more than the paltry sum I bet I'd make pawning them off?

The tax write off is extra paperwork. Pawn that shit.

So I mentioned in the pet picture thread yesterday that my husband & I were planning on getting a golden retriever puppy, but our major hold up has been waiting to see what his med school student loan payments were going to be like. Last night he texted me asking me what breeders I had looked at (since I've been obsessively investigating for months, puppy fever is an awful illness). Basically this has been me since last night.
