Moleskin:
- Prayers up for Crabby and Talking Heads family.
- Tantrum’s unrelenting and expert mumble chatter finally cracked the Q and we ended several minutes early. It was therefore a gentleman’s workout.
- Freedom made the outrageous claim that the David Lee Roth version of Van Halen is better. I’ll figure out an appropriate comeback in time for the Polar Bear 🐻❄️ this weekend Sir!
- Drebin and Gambini, always quick on their feet, said “This sounds like a boomer argument” and “Who is Van Halen”? [Insert generic lawyer joke here]
- Jingle claims he couldn’t hear the music over the muffler on my Kia. Damnit, that is a precision luxury vehicle, show some respect!
A solid crew. Thanks for the push gents.
Believe it was 2 minutes….not ‘several ‘
Since when did 90 seconds equate to SEVERAL minutes? I demand a full retraction on any implications or inferences of our softness! And thankfully we did end 90 seconds early so we didn’t have to listen to any more hair metal oldies – another round of Mary and I was fully expecting Wilson Phillips to start blaring.
Oh man you are trying to rattle my cage and I won’t fall for it. I’ve responded to Freedom’s absurd proclamation already with one of my own: Brown bears > Polar bears. Mic drop!
