It was a good moment and hinted at the plot of every F4 comic I read as a kid: they get their butts kicked when not working together (family dysfunction), together they're unbeatable. The movie downplayed the dysfunction, which made it less compelling to me. But it was still a fun ride.

"He's weird and he's American, as much as you and me."

Great response to the video, so I added The Mighty Portland Frog to Bandcamp. Pay what you wish - $0 is fine!

It's kinda up there with self-identifying as a "servant leader", IMHO

Love it! Borrowed the photo for a quick cut in this video. If that’s not OK, lmk and I’ll replace it forthwith. youtu.be/TomydXHdwbE

This is such a sweet little story!

Russ Somers @rsomers.bsky.social · 3d

Thank you! Working on video plans as we speak.

If you’re a protest singer, and you achieve your objective of changing the world, does that mean you’ve put yourself out of a job?

Not that there’s much risk of that, I think.

I learned the word “limerance” just now. The desperate need for reciprocation seems to be a big part of it. Flattering perhaps, but I imagine you’d rather it stop.

I like bright roundwounds. So I have boiled them in the past. Don’t judge me, it was in the 80’s and we all did a lot of weird stuff.

Hope it was great! Glad the Rick, your finger, and your shoulder are OK. Sorry for putting them in that order, but I'm a bit of a gearhead and your black Rick is a nice match for my black 4001.

SMH Content Director? I'm glad they have someone in charge of content to make me shake my head. But, based on the content, his title should probably be SMBH Content Director.

Ever have one of those days where you’re minding your own business until this guy with a guitar and a steaming cup of tea walks in, and you’re so surprised that you fall into that steaming cup of tea and immediately die?
