Everyone knows that certain someone
This article trying to explain this site in the wake of the hilarious trolling of the checkmark thing might be the funniest thing I’ve read in a while:
Because, heh, this tracks:
HHAHAHAHA GET POSTED ON TUMBLR AMANDA

Happy 78th Birthday Billy Connolly.
The comedian and actor we know as The Big Yin was born on November 24th 1942 in Glasgow, into a poor and not altogether stable family; he left school at age 15 and served as (among other jobs) a shipyard worker, a paratrooper in the Territorial Army, and a welder, the latter including a stint building an oil rig in Nigeria.
Shortly after his return, Connolly quit working and, supporting himself with the money he’d saved, concentrated on learning to play folk music on the banjo and guitar. He became a regular on the Glasgow folk scene, instantly recognizable with his wild hair and beard; he drifted in and out of several bands before forming the Humblebums with guitarist Tam Harvey in 1965. Gerry Rafferty (later of Stealers Wheel and “Baker Street” fame) joined sometime later, and the group built a following with their live performances, which spotlighted Connolly’s humorous between-song bits.
As Rafferty’s songs became the Humblebums’ primary musical focus, tensions among the members escalated; Harvey departed, and Connolly and Rafferty recorded two albums in 1969 and 1970 before disagreements over Connolly’s concert comedy split them up in 1971.
Billy soon began performing around Scotland and northern England, concentrating more on comedy but still mixing occasional folk songs into his act. 1972 saw the release of his first album, Live, and also the debut of The Great Northern Welly Boot Show, a musical play Connolly co-authored with poet Tom Buchan based on his experiences in the shipyards of Glasgow. The show was a hit in Edinburgh and London, and Polydor signed Connolly to a recording contract.
In 1974, his Solo Concert album sparked protests from the Christian community over a rowdy routine in which Connolly described the Last Supper as if it had taken place in Glasgow; all the publicity only helped his career, and he was quickly becoming one of Scotland’s favourite entertainers. His 1974 follow-up album, Cop Yer Whack for This, became his biggest hit yet, going gold in the U.K., and his comic take on Tammy Wynette’s “D.I.V.O.R.C.E.” became a surprise number one hit single in 1975. That same year also saw Connolly put in star-making appearances on Michael Parkinson’s chat show and at the London Palladium. He consolidated his success with a rigorous touring schedule over the next few years continuing to release comedy recordings on a regular basis into the ‘80s, the best known of which were In The Brownies and the theme to Supergran.
During the late '70s, Connolly had began taking on acting roles in television and film productions, and tried his hand at playwriting, with somewhat less success. His first marriage dissolved in 1981 amidst an affair with comedienne Pamela Stephenson (whom he would later marry in 1989, the same year he first shaved off his trademark shaggy beard). Taking up residence in London with Stephenson, Connolly continued his comedy career while taking on more theatrical and television roles. Toward the late '80s, his appearances on American television became more frequent, which – along with an unsold pilot for a Dead Poets Society series – helped Connolly land a gig replacing Howard Hesseman on the high school honour-student comedy Head of the Class in 1990.
His highest-profile American exposure was short-lived, however, as the series was cancelled after just one season; however, Connolly was back on American airwaves in early 1992, starring in the sitcom Billy. It too was cancelled after a short run, after an appearance in the film Indecent Proposal, Connolly returned home, (though he still officially resided in the Hollywood Hills).
In 1994, Billy hosted the acclaimed series World Tour of Scotland, which explored the flavour of contemporary Scottish culture. It proved so successful that Connolly hosted two further exploration-themed BBC series: 1995’s A Scot in the Arctic, in which he spent a week on a remote northern Canadian island, and 1996’s World Tour of Australia, lent a new respectability to Connolly 1997 Ssaw The Big Yin appear in the historical dramas Deacon Brodie and Mrs. Brown, the latter of which also featured Judi Dench and was released worldwide to much acclaim.
In 2012, Connolly provided the voice of King Fergus in Pixar’s Scotland-set animated film Brave, alongside fellow Scottish actors Kelly Macdonald, Craig Ferguson, Robbie Coltrane, Emma Thompson, and Kevin McKidd. Connolly appeared as Wilf in Quartet, a 2012 British comedy-drama film based on the play Quartet by Ronald Harwood, directed by Dustin Hoffman. In 2014, he appeared in The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies as Dáin II Ironfoot, a great dwarf warrior and cousin of Thorin II Oakenshield. Sir Peter Jackson stated that “We could not think of a more fitting actor to play Dain Ironfoot, the staunchest and toughest of dwarves, than Billy Connolly, the Big Yin himself. With Billy stepping into this role, the cast of The Hobbit is now complete. We can’t wait to see him on the battlefield.”
In September 2013, Connolly underwent minor surgery for early-stage prostate cancer. The announcement also stated that he was being treated for the initial symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Connolly had acknowledged earlier in 2013 that he had started to forget his lines during performances, adding later he was also finding it hard to remember how to play his banjo.
On his 75th birthday Glasgow bestowed upon Billy three giant murals to add to the many murals in the city.
In 2007 and again in 2010, he was voted the greatest stand-up comic on Channel 4’s 100 Greatest Stand-Ups. He once again topped the list on Channel 5’s Greatest Stand-Up Comedians, broadcast on New Year’s Eve 2013. Billy’s last big screen role was in 2016 in Wild Oats, which had Hollywood Stars Shirley MacLaine, Demi Moore and Jessica Lange.
In recent years he has established himself as an artist. In 2020, he stated “My art is about revealing myself” as he unveiled the fifth release of his Born on a Rainy Day collection in London.
Billy was on our small screen last year in Great American Trail, wfollowed him as he replicated the route taken by Scottish immigrants who came to America in the early 18th century. He also brought out a new book, called Tall Tales and Wee Stories, to launch it Billy’s face was projected on to buildings in Glasgow and Edinburgh.
In November 2019, The Evening Times named Connolly as The Greatest Glaswegian as determined by a public poll.
Connolly is a patron of the National Association for Bikers with a Disability. His first sculpture, which is inspired by his past as a welder, was released in March 2020. as seen in the pic, the sculpture shows God welding the world together
Thank You
I believe some thank-yous are in order. Firstly, Nambucca - both the management and tech were incredibly friendly and professional, and made such a special couple of nights possible. It was a true pleasure to say our farewells within your walls.
A special thanks to Nambucca’s technician Gabor, who not only did an outstanding job mixing the bands and helping set up the livestream, but also improvised the best stage lighting we’ve ever had.
Next, thanks to Reesha Dyer (and Cameron!) for being an absolutely perfect support act. Reesha’s music can be found on Bandcamp https://reeshadyer.bandcamp.com, as well as on all your favourite streaming sites.
There are too many to name, but huge thanks to all the friends of the band who volunteered their time to help us run the merch stand, record video, and set up the livestream - we couldn’t manage it all without you!
And finally, a massive thank you to you lot - our stowaways. Without your continuous support, the last ten years wouldn’t have been the same - and we’re still floored by how many of you turned up this weekend - and by how far some of you had travelled! #DeathToTheMechanisms
And though this may be the end of the band in its current form, that doesn’t mean we’re stopping writing as individuals. We’re putting together a masterpost detailing what the crew have been up to outside the Aurora, and what we’re planning - so stay tuned for that!
This was one of my last trips, last flights, last gigs before the world shut down. Worth. Every. Minute. I will never regret finding @the-mechanisms performing “Our Boy Jack” that day on the Royal Mile 9 years ago. What started as a day to overcome my demons and depression, became an enjoyment for many years to come.
Thank you all of you. I am forever in your debt.
Happy New Year!
"The Silence" is a window into my personal view of love, specifically my relationship. The world changes so much around us, people come and go, wars start and end…but somehow we stay the same. Another angle of love I talk about in this song is referred to Love lost. We carry with us all of the friends and lovers and idols we’ve lost over the years, we remember them and they live on through us. Even death cannot stop it, that kind of love will outlast pyramids.
I would also like to Thank our entire Freak Family, both old and new, silver and gold for such an amazing 2019. So many dreams came true, so many amazing adventures were had. We are honored to be a part of this community, and what a beautiful thing it is to be forever connected through the power of music. Happy New Year!!!
– Lzzy Hale

Things people with Social Anxiety do
•go to the bathroom to escape
•feel very uncomfortable without a phone or some other crutch
•dwell on a small awkward moment for much longer than necessary
•never go to any social event without a person that makes you feel comfortable
•follow said person way too much
•worry about the person beginning to find you obnoxious
•faking an illness to get out of a social event
Oh
Oh dear
whelp. (all of these minus someone finding me obnoxious, idc)

Letters lyrics
Letters (Beautiful In Blue)
I cried when when I first heard your name
Knew I’d never be the same
It started as a silly game of truth
Painted my lips and cut my hair
Hoping your magic would appear
Cuz nothing they can do, compares with you
You’re so beautiful in blue
That’s my favorite color on you
Used to bleed it out, it’s true
But I stopped cuz you’d want me to
25 years, I’m still alive
You wouldn’t believe what I survived
Your song’s the only thing that got me through
You don’t know me, and we just met
Now I’m confessing all my dark secrets
Cuz nothing else connects to me like you
You’re so beautiful in blue
That’s my favorite color on you
Did you get my letter?
If not there’s one on the way.
I’ve been sober, for 7 years today
You’ve saved my life in every way
My #1
When I hear your voice it makes me feel awake
You say all of the things I never could say
You Take all my pain and make it go away
My #1
I wake up just to check online
I pray that you respond this time
I hold my breath, and refresh patiently
I had a dream that we had sex
I swear I’m straight, but now I guess
It’s just like you rewrote my chemistry
You’re so beautiful In blue
Id die if you ask me to
Did you get my letter?
If not there’s one on the way.
I’ve been sober, for 7 years today
You’ve saved my life in every way
My #1
When I hear your voice it makes me feel awake
You say all the things I never could say
You Take all my pain and make it go away
My #1
Oh baby
I’m not crazy like they say
Forever
I’ll wait forever
Til we’re together
Someday
Did you get my letter?
if not, there’s one on the way.
I’ve been sober, for 7 years today
You’ve saved my life in every way
My #1
When I hear your voice in makes me feel awake
You say all the things I never could say
You Take all my pain and make it go away
Make it go away
My #1
Nobody lyrics
Nobody
I’m your drug of choice
Or your inner voice
I’m A shot in the dark, cuttin through all the noise
The end of the rope, or you’re only hope
I’m an angel sent from heaven here to lead you home
So don’t give up, I’ll be tough enough for the both of us
Invincible, untouchable
So nobody knows
Nobody knows I’m a nobody
No one can see that I’m blind
I look like a winner, I’m a loser baby
It’s all just a trick in your mind
And nothin gives away my nothing
I’m hiding here in the light
Nobody knows I’m a nobody
And I’m your hero tonight.
I’m your hero tonight
I’m the missing piece
Or a sweet release
I’m the only thing that keeps you from bleeding
Be your tourniquet
Or a surrogate
Im a good excuse for all your bad habits
So don’t give in, don’t let them win
They don’t know the shape we’re in
We’re invincible, untouchable
So nobody knows
Nobody knows I’m a nobody
No one can see that I’m blind
I look like a winner, I’m a loser baby
It’s all just a trick in your mind
And nothin gives away my nothing
I’m hiding here in the light
Nobody knows I’m a nobody
And I’m your hero tonight.
I’m your hero tonight
Nobody…Nobody…Nobody…Nobody…
Nobody knows
Nobody knows I’m a nobody
No one can see that I’m blind
I look like a winner, I’m a loser baby
It’s all just a trick in your mind
And nothin gives away my nothing
I’m hiding here in the light
Nobody knows I’m a nobody
And I’m your hero tonight.
I’m your hero
I’m your hero tonight
I’m your hero
I’m your hero
Chemicals lyrics
Chemicals
I am not insane
Blame the chemicals inside my brain
I need the pain to get me through
Just like you.
I’m so A.D.D. it’s killing me
Turning three two one 2 one two three
I need adderall to fix my mind
Chase it down with ‘hundred dollar wine
And people like to say I’m sick
Try to find the wrong it in it
Keep saying that I don’t belong
Tell me something’s wrong
But you bleed Like me
And you breathe like me
Yea you hurt like me
We’re all made of chemicals
You Love like me
Have a heart that beats
Yea you’re just like me
Chemicals
Spiderwebs and dial tones
Some days there’s just no one home
Why can’t the world leave me alone
Trash my laptop, flush my phone
Cuz you bleed Like me
And you breathe like me
Yea you hurt like me
We’re all made of chemicals
You Love like me
Have a heart that beats
Youre a Freak like me
Chemicals
Give me love
Something real
Give me love
Something I can feel…
Give me love, something real
Give me a heart that I can steal
Give me a drug That I can feel
I want your chemicals, I want your chemicals
Yea You bleed Like me
And you breathe like me
Yea you hurt like me
We’re all made of chemicals
You Love like me
Have a heart that beats
You’re a freak like me
Chemicals
Now That You’re Gone (Anthem) lyrics
Now that you’re Gone (Anthem)
I can stay up all night I can do what I want
I can’t party with strangers I can play my music loud
I can kiss a girl and wear my boots to bed
And drink every-fucking-thing that I can fit in my head
And these are a few of the things I can do
Now that you’re gone, now that your gone
I don’t have to listen to you complain, I don’t have that awful buzzing going on in my brain
I don’t have to pretend to be something I’m not
Cuz I’m a nasty little freak and I like it a lot
And the best thing of all, I feel seven feet tall
Now that you’re gone, now that you’re gone
Oh yea, my life is so much better without you
You can suck me, I don’t care if I ever see you again
No
Ow!!
Go!
(Solo)
Oh yea, my life is so much better without you
You can suck me, I don’t care if I ever see you again
No way!!
Ow!!
“Ahem, repeat after me..
I pledge allegiance ( I pledge allegiance)
To the united state ( to the united state)
Of Lzzy-Fuckin’ Hale ( of Lzzy fuckin’ Hale)
And whatever Lzzy wants, Lzzy gets
Forever and ever… Amen”
You can’t take my money, you can’t give me any hell
You can’t make me feel guilty for just being myself
You can’t steal my phone to check all of my texts
Or roll your fuckin eyes at me when I talk about sex
And all that’s left to say is the mice are gonna play now that you’re gone, now that you’re gone
Oh yea, my life is so much better without you
You can suck me, I don’t care if I ever see you again
Oh yea, my life is so much better without you
You can suck me, I don’t care if I ever see you again
No more
Ow!!
Can someone take me back please? #pleasecomehome #blackstonecherry @blackstonecherryofficial #glasgow #seccglasgow (at SECC) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrvrQFqnKHo77AHtj4vZ7UoQnbgOOUIyRyc3Jw0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16rs29g22lj58
