Deadsplinter Up! All Night: Trouble!

25/2/21 Loveshaq 26

It’s not hard to find trouble. We have all been there, right? I often have So Much Trouble in My Mind…

I can usually get out of the kind of the kind of trouble I get in but this is Not Alright By Me…

But sometimes, no matter what you do, trouble just finds you…

Enjoy your night, try to stay out of trouble if that is your thing or go find some “Good Trouble”.

        • So!!! It’s 2017, and I’m working in IT and there is this vendor promising this fantastic application that can magically solve a major problem…. but all the details are proprietary and they can’t provide any metrics about how much it’s estimated to improve functionality.

          I’m grumpy and distrustful by nature, so I say to my boss (white guy in his early 40s) “if you believe that, I’ve got a marching band to sell you.” He has no clue. None whatsoever. I explain it’s from a famous musical The Music Man and there was a popular movie, etc etc. 

          So then he’s like making fun of my weird esoteric reference that no one gets – and there’s about 5 dudes I work with all having no clue about it either.

          Finally, in a move of desperation, I sing out “Monorail!” and I shit you not all of these dudes knew exactly what I was referencing and 2 of them started singing the song.

          Then I was like hey you twits that episode of the Simpsons was based on The Music Man!!!! AND I HAD THE LAST LAUGH BELIEVE YOU ME

          • I have 1,000 stories like that. I tossed out at a meeting once, “But then, like Napoleon at the Gates of Moscow, I admitted defeat and retreated.” “What are you…so did you find out…” “No, no I didn’t, and I don’t know if the answer will ever be found.” Someone tried to tell me that “Edelweiss” is the national anthem of Germany. Someone else else said, “No, Austria.” I said, “It’s not the national anthem of anywhere, it’s a Rodgers & Hammerstein song from “The Sound of Music.” Another time: “And poor Jim Morrison. You know his entire brief professional life he wanted to be taken seriously as a musician but he turned into this teeny-bopper phenomenon.” “You mean Morrissey? I think he’s still alive. My parents like his music.” A coworker said to me, “I can’t stand this office chair. I wish I could get a different one. I just hate being in this chair.” “But ya are, Blanche, ya are!” “Mattie, are you alright? My name is Megan?”

  12. These high school kids do great, but if you have Disney+ I highly highly recommend looking up the Broadway recording of Newsies (not the movie, the actual Broadway recording). The emotion Jeremy Jordan and the Broadway cast put into this song is amazing.
