Octopus/Caveman @OctopusCaveman

Introduced my son to ska and it's the best decision I've ever made. There's no chance this boy is getting anyone pregnant before he's at least 30.

Don't worry he'll... pick it up!

[–] Bunnylux@lemmy.world 28 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's not that kind of skank...

[–] half_built_pyramids@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

Came here for the skank joke

How many ska band members does it take to screw in a light bulb?

10... 1 to screw in the bulb and the other 9, in case it drops, to pick it up pick it up pick it up pick it up.

Replace "ska" with "folk punk" and it still works :D

Buy him a magic the gathering starter deck and seal the deal.

Streetlight Manifesto kinda slap tho.

[–] WillFord27@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

I saw BOTAR live, it was incredible

[–] modifier@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months ago

Ever heard of meat beat manifesto? Also, er, slaps.

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago

The entire band are nothing but legends.

You've done too much,

Much too young

Now you're married with a kid

When you could be having fun with me

[–] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Partly agree, but if you listen to The Interrupters "In The Mirror" and think it's a bad song, you're a philistine

Same goes for a lot of Madness songs

Maybe I am a phillistine. I tried to listen to it and it dosen't seem like a good song. Not my type of music.

[–] Rolando@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Check out some first-generation Jamaican stuff, like Desmond Dekker - 007. If you don't like that, then sure, you don't like this type of music.

In the winter of nineteen sixty and four came this movie to Jamaica, The Skatalites took the music from the movie and put it to the ska. And came up with this song, it's called…

[–] flipthetube@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Guns!

Of Navarone.

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 8 points 11 months ago

Naming him Carl helped.

[–] Makeitstop@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

For a second I thought this was a mistborn meme and was like "that's fucking dark!"

[–] Kiosade@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wait, is there a place for mistborn memes??

[–] Makeitstop@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

https://lemmy.world/c/remposting@lemm.ee is the basically the only one I'm aware of, and it's not exactly active. The community just never really made to shift from reddit.

In fact, there's more subscribers for https://lemmy.world/c/cremposting, and it's basically just a redirect.

Maybe I should actually post something and see if I can stir up some activity. Or just send @The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website some Mistborn books and wait.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Ok, I need to pick the Mistborn series back up... I have the first 3 books because my wife read them, but I got distracted midway through the first and never went back.

If I read them, I promise I'll seek out and/or make some memes. Lol

[–] Makeitstop@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Oh you are in for a treat.

And honestly, the memes are as good a reason as any to get into the series. Hell, I sent a friend all six^1^ books just to get him hooked enough to help nudge our gaming group into playing the wild west setting in the RPG.


^1^ This was before book 7 came out

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I've heard very good things. I had no idea there were 7 of them!

[–] Makeitstop@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

With two more trilogies planned. And possibly another trilogy between those two trilogies (he has an idea but hasn't committed. I assume he'll do it just to get it to 16 books, which is the significant number throughout the series)

The great thing about Sanderson is that he's a machine that just won't stop writing. The man wrote 5 extra books in secret just because he could.

The terrible thing about Sanderson is that he's a writing machine, and just when you think you're caught up he drops 5 extra books on you! Still, beats waiting for G.R.R.M. to finish a book.

[–] CommunityLinkFixer@lemmings.world 1 points 11 months ago

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !remposting@lemm.ee, !cremposting@lemmy.world

[–] Shapillon@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Agreed, I discovered ska a few years back and now I'm sterile.

[–] guyrocket@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago

The MIGHTY, MIGHTY...

...virgins!
