Rating band names by my likelihood to obey them as commands

Train: 6/10. Not very specific, but regardless of context, I do need to do it more. However, I dislike effort.

Maroon 5: 2/10. Not sure what I am marooning five of, but it seems kind of impractical to do remotely, and I don’t particularly want to be stuck on an isolated coast with these five entities.

Journey: 6/10. Only if I’m not tired.

OK Go: 5/10. I’m a big fan of leaving situations. However, if I am already unburdened by the horrors of situations, going might bring me INTO a situation, and that’s the opposite of what I want.

Fall Out Boy: 4/10. I don’t like conflict for no reason, but thanks for the gender!

Walk Off The Earth: 0/10. Gravity makes this difficult.

Elbow: 11/10. I am always ready to commit violence with my bones.

Meet Me @ The Altar: 9/10. Like the wedding type or the ritual sacrifice type? Either way, I should change outfits first.

Dropkick Murphys: 1/10. I only know one Murphy who I would want to dropkick, but she’s probably old enough now for that to be immoral.

Mother Mother: 8/10. I’m told I have a chronic case of mom friend.

Panic! At The Disco: 7/10. The disco is difficult to find these days, but I am constantly in a state of near-panic, so I think I could make it work given the opportunity.

Rise Against: Not sure what we’re rising against, but I’m typically down for a good rebellion. 8/10

Smash Mouth: 9/10. Smash someone’s mouth? With what? My fist? My own mouth? I’m usually down for one or the other.

Seal: 3/10. Not very specific. I’ve licked too many envelopes in the past month and I have no desire to repeat the experience.

WALK THE MOON: 3/10. I do want to do this. However, my opportunities to do so have been severely limited by NASA’s security.

Spoon: 9/10. Yeah, I’ll cuddle.

Foster The People: 7/10. Depends on the people.

Kiss: 9/10. Depends on who or what I am kissing, but usually there’s someone around who is up for it. If not, I will kiss the nearest stuffed animal on their soft little head.

Cage The Elephant: 0/10. Cruel, unethical, and unwise. How dare you.

Rage Against The Machine: 1000/10. Fuck yeah, I will.

Imagine Dragons: 1000000/10. Ohohoho, don’t mind if I do.

Last month I caught Covid, and right at the start of my symptoms I saw this post. For the next 8ish days, I was HAUNTED by this song. It played on a loop in my head for hours. I would wake up in the middle of the night covered in sweat singing “…mixed with Zach Galifianakis” as it bounced around in my virus-addled brain. It was literally inescapable.

Anyway as soon as that ended, the Morbin Time memes started so you can imagine how that went for me, who would be deliriously sick for another 5 days.

TIL that in 1903, a man named George Edalji was convicted of killing and mutilating livestock in Staffordshire.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, being interested in justice, took up the cause of freeing Mr. Edalji, as he believed the conviction was based on racism rather than evidence. His efforts eventually led to Edalji's pardon and an overhaul of legal proceedings. Edalji went on to become a lawyer, himself.

This is all very interesting and significant, but the punchline of the story is that Conan Doyle, being also interested in bullshit, had an alternative suspect for the livestock deaths. He thought it was Bigfoot.
