Let’s Get Weird

In our first edition of LGW I opened the floor to other headline ideas. Nothing really spoke to me and I’m actually starting to like LGW, so we’re rolling with it for now. I will still consider alternative options from you people, so hit me with them if you think of any.

Helen Keller TFM, please email me.

To the guy who asked for whiskey recommendations last week, you got some good ones from everyone. Try Bulleit Bourbon. Bulleit over ice with a finger of water is one of my go-to drinks.

Top comment last week:

Content idea: Dress up like college students and go to parties at different fraternities at UT/Texas State/etc. and write about what they’re like, if you could/couldn’t get in. You guys get to get fucked up and you’ll have a good time

This would be an idea for Dan or Jared but your boy is way too old to be messing around at college parties. I was in Baton Rouge in the fall of 2015 and stopped by one of our freelance writer’s fraternity houses to say hi. There wasn’t a party going on but there were guys throwing the football in the yard and music playing and a gathering of about 20 people just casually hanging out and day drinking.

Holy shit did I feel out of place.

Thanks for the support, Madison.

Don’t link nudes to these threads anymore, please. That’s literally why the forums were shut down. Again, some of you veterans, or just the decent ones of you, need to start policing your own so we can keep these going.

      skinny jeans are now worn by country music artists, so I have absolutely leapt off that wagon. Stick to the classics

      All jokes about Luke Bryan, Sam Hunt, Kane Brown and all other pop country stars being huge pussies aside. New country has lost its flair, it doesn’t tell a story anymore, there’s no emotion behind the music anymore, everything sounds the same and all even uses the same lyrics nowadays.

      If by “modern” country you mean the stuff you hear on the radio, then you’re talking about two completely different genres. There are artists out there that have a more classic sound if you’re willing to look, but modern radio country is basically redneck pop music that’s meant to be enjoyed at a purely superficial level. Hot 20 year old girls eat that shit up, though, so it certainly has its place.

      Classic country but there are good non-mainstream artists and bands out there like Whitey Morgan & The 78s, JP Harris & The Tough Choices, Joshua Hedley, Nikki Lane, Jonny Fritz, Hank Williams 3. Lots of good modern stuff out there that isn’t on the radio.

        I saw Hank Williams III in concert. The guy performed for five hours straight, going from country to punk to metal. One of the best concerts Ive seen

        His show is incredible. Saw Hank on July 4th my last year of high school and enjoyed every second. It was rowdy but everyone was chill at the same time. I hope he starts touring again soon.

      If they haven’t gone through a $1500 of coke a day (or something similar) phase, I probably don’t want to hear them. Gone me some Waylon, Cash, and Hank Jr.

      I hate most modern country, but I enjoy listening to Justin Moore. Reminds me of old country.

      Check out a a little small band called Sundy Best. Two guys from Kentucky and they have some good country music.

        Shibby was overrated. His main talent was knowing how to use animated GIFs. And people who create a Twitter account that corresponds to their TFM account are taking this TFM commenter stuff way too seriously.

        You’d be surprised there actually a few people who have continued their TFM profile on to Twitter.

        I know. It’s fine for the freelancers like Karl and Kramer Smash. They’ve actually accomplished something, and someday they may be able to transition into being “real” people (and maybe Shibby gets a pass since he’s written some columns for PGP). But when someone who’s only accomplishment is to make dumbass anonymous comments on TFM (and I count myself in that group) creates a Twitter profile so they can tweet their anonymous dumbass comments to the whole world, it just seems like they are taking their fake selves too seriously. Oh well.

      Adding on to babe of the day bracket, since March madness starts about the same time as spring break, spring break girls bracket.

    Dillon I know you did something this ages ago, but you guys should do pledge diaries. Start the entries during rush and continue it through initiation. Would be a fun thing to follow along to the same time rush traditionally starts

        I saw a similar comment about me from last week’s comment section and I see it’s still an issue, so I just wanted to clear up some confusion. I don’t know who you think I am, but my first name is Adam and my *last* name is Walle. With an E, not a Y. Whoever this Wally is that you so hate, it’s not me and it’s honestly just a crazy coincidence that fate has intersected like this. I’m relatively new to the TFM fold and this new column felt like an ideal opportunity to start commenting in earnest. In truth, I’m just a random from a podunk college who’s getting roped into something I don’t understand and probably don’t want to. So please forgive me and my typical online handle for stirring up all of this confusion.

    Wanted to talk a bit about politics. So far trump hasn’t been the worst, but one thing I really disagree with was Betsy DeVos for the secretary of education. My mom is a teacher so education is important to me. So when I heard that the new secretary of education never went to a public school I was furious! But I talked to some of my brothers and said it wasn’t a big deal. Am I taking crazy pills or should you at least know what the public school system is like before you get the job?

      Competition generally improves things so her going to private school might actually means she knows what the fuck she is talking about

      She’s a Christian nut who bought the position, doesn’t believe in public school, and has poured a shitload of money into failed charter schools, and may or may not want to include religion in the curriculum (though I don’t think she can constitutionally do that). trump has made a lot of questionable decisions with his cabinet, but she was objectively unqualified for this position. She will be a disaster for education.

        Remember when I tried to tell everyone that Republicans were just as corrupt and apathetic to our freedoms as liberals? Got voted down like 80 times but I’m pretty it’s been proven right.

      I just don’t get it. So many good education administrators in this country. I’m really having a hard time not saying she got the job because she donated so much.

      The job is to improve the education system, not to defend public schools and teacher unions. The left chose the wrong hill to die on here.

      The Department of Education shouldn’t exist in the first place. It isn’t a federal issue and should be left to the states. Therefore, it really doesn’t matter whose in charge of it. Don’t worry, the world isn’t ending because of DeVos.

      7 years ago at 1:31 am
      1. CrookedHalo

        This is absolutely correct. The Dept of Edu wasn’t even formed until 1979 at the tail-end of the hippie years. And it was a backhanded way by the Carter administration and the Demo’s to try to make the South ‘get in line’ (I’m from the North). Want smaller & less govt then this should be the 1st to go.
