    Yes. Exactly.

    The thing is, the guy? The character of The Piano Man? He’s a fucking dick! He spends the entire song singing about every single person in this bar, boiling them down to one or two of their least desirable traits- which, by the way, he’s obviously been playing at this bar long enough to get to know all of them well enough to boil them down!- and then he sings about how great he is and how he’s the only joy in their miserable little lives!

    I want to get the waitress who’s practicing politics, the men sharing a drink they call loneliness, the businessmen getting stoned, and we are gonna write a song called “The Piano Man is a Fucking Dick Who Thinks He’s Too Good to be Here!” Fuck that guy!




  • One thing I think people need to understand is that ‘Tex-Mex’ should not be considered a goddamned insult. Texas has a deep history with it’s relationship to Mexico, and Texas is fucking huge.

    To put it in perspective, go look at a land size comparison of Texas and the entire UK. Texas is bigger. On it’s own.

    So to expect it to not have it’s own culture and it’s own cuisine is stupid as hell. Now, if we want to discuss which we prefer… that’s a different conversation.

    And to ask me if I want to live there? The answer is a resounding “hell no.”




  • Most of the English-speaking world has come to know the word “chai” as a specific blend of spices, rather than recognize the word “chai” as a translation of the word “tea.” Which means now, in several countries, “chai” means a blend of cardamom, cinnamon, clove, ginger, and allspice. Give or take some other herbs.

    So if you go to a restaurant in the US, for example, and you ask for “tea,” you’ll get plain tea. If you ask for chai, you’ll get tea with those spices.

    Sort of how “pumpkin spice” is a mix of cinnamon, ginger, cloves, allspice and nutmeg.
