I live in Richmond proper.

You all are missing the point. It doesn't matter if it's a gallon milk jug that has been emptied out and refilled with water or a proper gallon jug of water. If you're walking around at a gym with a gallon of water and crushing it after slamming your weights down on the ground – something that is in no way unique to Richmond, VA – then you're a total douchenozzle. And it would be nice if there was a gym that refused service to douchenozzles without going wildly the other way like Planet Fitness that (apparently) refuses service to people who want to do actual exercising.

This seems like such a cry for attention. Aren't there water fountains in there? It takes too much time to walk over to a water fountain and have a drink or to, ya know, refill your water bottle? Jesus.

Or even have a normal human sized water bottle you might have to fill up once. It's totally a look at me move.

Asshats, douchenozzles and hamplanets.  Rank them.  Go! 

They're not all comparable. Asshats and douchenozzles are attempts to speak to one's jerk-ness, whereas hamplanets is a measurement of size. It's like asking me to rank quarts vs square footage.

The Last Audio Cassette Factory

Springfield, MO-based National Audio Company opened in 1969 and when other major manufacturers abandoned tape manufacturing for CD production in the late 1990s, the company held on tight. Now, the cassette maker is pumping out more cassettes than ever before.

Over/under on how long before Smackie shows up and comments about the absurdity of physical media and disruptive technology? I'll put it at 40 minutes.

I always forget the drinks thing, but that makes a big difference
if you go with a bunch of friends and pay the tab (and they pay you back)
you can get 50-100 points depending on how much they drink

Also merch is fwb points too…

I almost mentioned sk but didn't want to bring it up as I knew you'd feel bad
(only caveat…only time I used it at the merch table was to buy those $12 930 earplugs)

i'll get there when I get there and to paraphrase the chairman of the board i'll do it my way.

No, my beef with tapes is totally different.

They sound like shit, are completely unreliable nor durable, and were only used because of their ability to be both portable and dub - two advantages we have far surpassed with modern technology.

Anyone who uses them now is just being ironic.  But I guess some one needs to cater to neanderthals.   Maybe they can do it in exchange for shaving off those stupid mustaches?
