So, a Swamp mystery. Does anyone know who @_data_guy is on Instagram? I had spent the last few years thinking this was DSafe until seeing him on the Zoom from last night.

Most likely that is Kranepool. His Twitter account is @data_guy or something like that.Johnny Carwash wrote: ↑Fri Apr 24, 2020 10:09 am So, a Swamp mystery.

The fact that we let the random thoughts thread go a month without a post truly encapsulates the hell we're living in. There are no more random thoughts.

Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
Thanks for the clarification. Anyway, I had guessed it was DSafetyGuy in that the D stood for "data" and so I guess I was associating kranepool in my mind with DSafe until seeing the real one yesterday.bfj wrote: ↑Fri Apr 24, 2020 10:26 amThat’s Kranepool.Sabo wrote: ↑Fri Apr 24, 2020 10:10 amMost likely that is Kranepool.

Wait, does it? I thought it was like "Da Safety Guy" in the same way Smif N Wessun did "Dah Shinin".

Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
It doesn't. I had (wrongly) guessed _data_guy (who is actually kranepool) was DSafetyGuy based on the vague name similarity.
Though "So what does the D stand for?" is a fun question to ask apropos of nothing.

Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
My sophomore year in college (fall of 1993), I joined a comedy sketch show at the college TV station where we did a 30-minute episode each semester. One of the things I wrote and performed were three fake public service messages where I portrayed a representative of the Clinton administration who was providing "Drug Safety Tips" to viewers. The tips, or course, were the safe way to do drugs.
The episode premiered at the end of the semester and a couple of guys who had previously been on the show (including Brian Gewirtz, a notable name for a couple of you), but were now making another show, did not know who I was. They dubbed me "Drug Safety Guy", a nickname which stuck through the rest of college and for the first few years of living in LA.
It's a mildly amusing nickname until you're out at a fairly empty bar on a Saturday night and one of your friends arrives with his dipshit roommate, who sees you from across the bar as he walks in and yells out in his East Coast Italian accent, "Hey, Drug Man!" (My old roommate really enjoyed when the same guy swatted my shot in a pick-up game and yelled up, "Get that shit outta here, Drug Dealer Man!")
He was not smart.

Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
Just noticed a very small hole in the t-shirt I am wearing. It's made it 12 years, but it's always sad to see one of the favorites die.
Shit, two tiny holes.

Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
Yeah, sad day when that happens.
Speaking of bad day, I just wrote an email to my racist city councilman asking him to condemn another councilperson who went full racist over the weekend and yelled "WHITE LIVES MATTER" during the GOP convention. Waste of time but fuck him.

Main actor/director/producer credits that run after the movie are a lot more fun than credits that run at the beginning of the movie.

If Doc Howard ever came back around, would he admit that Trump was indeed so much worse than Hillary would have been?

Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
There's a certain mindset that seems to think that moderate Democrats in general, and Hillary Clinton in particular, are History's Greatest Monster. They're not foolish enough to be explicitly pro-Trump, but they are strongly anti-anti-Trump.
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

Pretty sure my wife invited friends over to watch a movie in the backyard tonight before she even bought the screen.
Now if only it gets dark before 9:30 tonight, we might actually get to press play on the projector.

Totally Kafkaesque
Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
OK, I just checked out his feed from an incognito window and thankfully, he doesn't appear to be pro Trump. He's retweeted a number of Trump-bashing tweets. But I do believe he still hates Hillary more than Trump. That's possible.

Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
He’s not pro-Biden either. He seems pretty nihilistic these days.
