    That was my entire idea for a podcast. Thanks for shitting on my dream. I guess I’ll never start it now.

      With that attitude, better become a Musician pronto

        Funny you should say that. I’m already a terrible musician. I’ve got a solo gig and a band gig this weekend. I just wanted the podcast to complete my middle aged white dude punch card because my cargo shorts just got here the other day.

          Two gigs in the same weekend? Who’s going to keep an eye on the smoker?!

            I am an actual cliche. Dang.

            I’ll have everything prepped to start it up drunk at 2am on Sunday morning. This ain’t my first rodeo and my brisket will be ready to slice by dinner Sunday evening.

            My motorcycle is plenty shiny and fast.

            Seriously, my superhero name should be Average Middle Aged White Dude. The only thing I’m not doing is getting more conservative as I get older.

            I guess I’m going to have to wear some white tube socks with my slides and saying shit like “Working hard or hardly working?”

      1. if a random comment on the internet is enough to destroy

      your dream

      then it was a weak and shitty dream. Get a new one.

      1. do it anyway. Who cares. You know what’s the worst that could happen? You try, and it doesn’t work out and then you can look back at it and consider it “gave it a good shot, didn’t work out”. And then you can point to all the people who still sit on their couch and didn’t even try.

      2. do it.

        This is good advice for people who are serious about their dream. I was not. I’ve had a crazy life and got to at least kind of hit all the high points of my dreams. My only other one is to retire while I’m young enough to get into trouble and I’m doing my damnedest.

      Well, in that case. Thanks SteveFromSpace for saving us from that one…

      Why not make a podcast about gatekeeping and use this as your first example? There, you’ve got an objective.

          You are completely right.

          I was trying to make a joke, piggybacking off the other guy’s joke, but I can see that was poorly communicated.

              I think you did good, I took no offense. I often get insecure about “Are they joking? I’ll give a serious reply in case they’re not, or in case someone else thinks they might be serious” myself, so I’m usually more concerned with the question “Is this clear enough as a joke?” than with blaming other people for not getting that.

              I have an irrational aversion to suffixing my posts with tone markers like “(joke)” that I probably should do something about. It would certainly help with that confusion.

              Either way, offering a serious take as a safety measure is a good thing, and I appreciate that you took the time.

              May life be as kind to you as you are to others!
