Fathers, Sons, Soldiers, and Poetry
We both hid a part of ourselves behind a soldier’s body armor and camo paint and when that didn’t work we retreated behind the smile of a beer drinking buddy.

I am calling upon the people of Ireland to immediately begin construction of a thread on this site about how you or someone you know was roasted for a fashion choice. We need it.
All roasts must have come from Irish people *only*. Please respect this important rule, it makes a difference.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.
The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.
The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.
Why?
It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

I got this useful bon mot from a middle school teacher recently.
In response to, “I DONT UNDERSTAND,” he calmly said, “okay what steps have you taken to understand?”
And that’s when I realized that a lot of folks have no steps.

My route:
1. I got Felix’d and mainlined SKZ for a whole winter.
2. Decided to listen to BTS for some Elder Statesmen contrast
3. Joon put out INDIGO and I had to listen to MORE BTS for context
4. Oh look I seem to be down the rabbit hole.

What was your route into BTS?
My route in 3 steps
1. Background noise of ARMY friends
2. Strawberry Boy
3. "Wow this year has been depressing. Strawberry Boy makes me happy and BTS seem to make my friends happy... maybe I should explore." and then my ARMY friends welcoming me so enthusiastically.

Sometimes I wonder if our many years of jokes about writers hating writing and doing anything but writing, etc, have convinced people that the writing part is the hurdle and the goal is just to have a thing in hand. But I am here to tell you: the writing is the best part. The act is the thing.
