Put Cult of Personality on the pub jukebox as a "This is a song I'd like to listen to" pick and some immediately followed it up with Voices.

Oh, we got a jokester in tonight.

Kingdom is the next logical step but I also know what the endgame is - I know that, somehow, Benoits theme is on here.

This is evident by the one time where I ventured onto a dance floor to try to impress someone and ended up nearly snapping my ankle.

Not my best moment and the night got worse from that point.

Ya know, if I had a shred of musical talent, I reckon I'd make for a good cover band.

Rock music spans so many generations so you can't go wrong. Open with something like The Pretender, then go older and then flit between.

Sadly, as mentioned, I was tragically born without a sense of rhythm.

Case in point: They played La Grange and my dad looked confused.

The person who introduced me to ZZ Top couldn't work out what it was.

Is that due to his dwindling mental health? Maybe but he'd have got Legs.

This person definitely takes down their Christmas decs on Boxing Day, if they even bother to put them up at all.

I'm a miserly prick but I'm not this bad.

I would not like to hear TV Dinners as whilst that's a good song, the music video used to freak me the fuck out.

Still have minor unease about it. That stop motion alien is my childhood nemesis.

Well, one of them. The only fictional one.

Lewis @agentsmiz.bsky.social · 15h

Sharp Dressed Man now. The ZZ Top love is real.

Sadly, there's not many other general songs they can play. Legs is the only other mainstream option.

I'd be all up for Sleeping Bag or Stages but most of the people would be looking confused.

*Gimme All Your Lovin' starts*

Oh, now my jams are on...

And judging by the amount of elder ladies who got up to jig, other peoples jams as well.

Scrolling through the list of PS Plus games I have whilst the pub band takes a break.

It has only just dawned on me that Blue Prince - the game about putting down floor plans in a mansion to solve puzzles - is a reference to blueprints.

I am a fucking idiot.

I've heard Dakota covered by so many cover bands that it's kind of lost all meaning now.

Even a good cover just doesn't do anything for me.

Shame as I like the song. Probably favourite Stereophonics song.

Add obstacles. Big windmills, snapping crocodiles, ramps etc.

Make it crazy and it'll be infinitely better.

15/12/10 being the IVs. Only other good one was 11/15/12 but not shiny.

Technically better but regular Rayquaza reminds me of the amount of money I spent getting the skin in Smite for Kukulkan years ago and I'd rather forget that.

Lewis @agentsmiz.bsky.social · 16h

Fuckin' get down from there and stop dicking about!

Lewis @agentsmiz.bsky.social · 16h

Mega Rayquaza day was a little bit of a dud for me- best one caught was a 2149 stat with the max being 2191.

However, that 2149 one was shiny so it sort of balances out. Maybe I'll bottle cap it in the future.

Either way, it's still good to have the wrecking machine in Pokémon Go.

Bottle of whatever, GTA in first person.

A.k.a my 2020 lockdown coping mechanism.

What a terrible day to have eyes and the ability to read.

I was more annoyed that, due to the level rebalance, I got a shitload of items but not any extra space for them.

Had to chuck out like 200 ultra balls and a bunch of berries.

I've still got a t-shirt from Bowling For Soups last UK tour from 2013.

It has been proved wrong at least twice since.

"...Is that Hitler?" was not on my bingo card for thoughts I'd have today.

Lewis @agentsmiz.bsky.social · 5d

You know those moments in life where you're trying to work out if you know someone but you don't want to make it obvious you're staring at them?

Had that one the bus earlier. Only instead of the person, it was who they had tattooed on their leg.

Sadly, it was who I thought it was.

They can be alright sometimes. Bought a bootlego tractor a few years back and outside of one wobbly connection, it could have passed for the real thing.

The minifig, however, was an eldritch abomination.

Lewis @agentsmiz.bsky.social · 6d

Wrong on a few counts.

Knock off sets aren't way better. Some are good quality and comparable to Lego and others are utter shite in terms of quality and build.

Whilst most Lego is tie-in, City and Creator sets are still big.
