Part 158 of 200 in historically interesting things to inspire your ttrpg

Paul Simon's Rhythm of the Saints came out that year, but Graceland was better. So I got nothing. Wait, hold the presses. Reading, Writing and Arithmetic was a 1990 album and not a 1989 one? That's an easy choice then.

There's a Tom Grant album from that year, but I didn't bother to keep it. I listened to Everything But The Girl's album Language of Life a lot back then, but the best I can say for it is it got me into EBTG, who started doing more musically interesting things right when I was ready to hear them.

...so a lot of stuff I listened to fell on the wrong side of that, never got ripped to mp3s, and drifted away from me. And finally, 1990 was the peak of my "smooth jazz" phase, which I have since recovered from.

My highest claim to hipster cred is seeing Colin Meloy perform prior to the Decemberists.

Aw. I have fond memories of singing madrigals in the metal silo outside of the Newport brewery. Amazing acoustics.

Even during my Gen-X childhood in the 80's, there was a whites only county one county away from me in the northern Atlanta suburbs.

I'm kicking myself a little for not getting it when I was eligible, but whatever, the abstinence method works.

Sorry. I sort of skimmed the middle of that thread.

My solution for numbers with fewer than three digits would be to hide the extra blocks behind the sign.

I would have thought kids would love the house that gives out boxes. Almost as good as the potato house.

I recall that folks living near Chernobyl learned that very little radioactive material gets incorporated into apples, so it's probably fine!

Wrong way around.

I've spent a not entirely negligible portion of my life on the 35 bus.

Sorry! 🙃

It's true. I said a stupid reply guy thing once and I had to hide in shame for months.
