I am also seeking a $1 billion buy out, to compensate for years of being underpaid! What a coincidence!

I'd buy you out but all I have is my 20 bucks from streaming music revenue and I'm going to spend that on beer.

If you even made one dollar off your own music, that's fuckin cool. You earned that beer!

What's your band called?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

we're called The Three Leonards. We do covers of pop songs in a pastiche of mid-1980's Leonard Cohen, and yes it's pretty different than music other people make today. Folks seem to like our covers of Toxic and Rusted From The Rain quite a bit.

And yeah, we friggin' earned that beer.

a) Thank you :) That's super nice to see, first thing in the morning.
b) Please tell your friends
c) Which ones do you like best?

A 6 pack of good beer or a 30 pack of piss?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

oh jesus, GOOD beer.
how anyone can drink sub-par beer is fucking beyond me. Drinking that stuff is just self-disrespect. I mean, I get it, but, just, no.

I can confidently say as a recovering alcoholic that I would have bought neither. I would gave gone with a handle of the cheapest vodka in the store and a pouch of drum, bugler or Samson. And that would have been my 3 meals for the day.

well bud, I must admit that does sound a bit rough. I wish you well in your recovery.
