i deserve a medal for this post. not because i was particularly funny but because i survived an onslaught of nearly one hundred gimmick blogs in the wake of this post popping off, and the fact that i didn’t try to track any of them down and snuff them out with my bare hands is a testament to my immeasurable strength and should be rewarded. at one point i had “the official letter h” add on to this post. you wanna know that blog’s gimmick? the really funny and original and worthwhile gimmick the official letter h blog had? yep you guessed it they just gave me the god damned letter H and then fucked off. only jesus knows the suffering i endured over that harsh winter, and he wept for me

The Odyssey but retold as a low-stakes modern adventure of one guy out with his girlfriend leaving the bar with his buddies to do just one (1) simple thing real quick, it'll take like 15 minutes tops, he'll be right back, but then some bullshit happens and the trip keeps getting more complicated as more bullshit keeps happening while he just tries to get back to the bar because he promised his girlfriend that he'd get back and he knows that she's still there because she told him she'd wait there.

And by the time he finally gets back it's almost 3 am and the bar is about to close while she's sitting there stone cold sober, surrounded by 5 drunk guys unsuccessfully trying to convince her to give up on waiting for him and go home with one of them instead. And the guy shows up to proceed to beat the shit out of them before explaining himself to her like hey sorry bullshit kept happening, my phone fell into a storm drain and my wallet got stolen when I was trying to find someone who'd borrow me a phone so I could call and

His girlfriend had been fending off the 5 drunk guys for most of the evening by explaining that even if she was going to ditch her boyfriend, she can't possibly leave without finishing her beer, which she is keeping perpetually full via careful sleight of hand where she's just pouring it back and forth into and out of the pitcher.

However the drunk guys are also drinking, and eventually she can't afford to buy another pitcher for the table so she can't keep up the ever-full beer glass trick. At this point she has to resort to setting up the pool trick shot that she's never seen anyone but her boyfriend pull off, and says she'll leave with whoever manages the shot first.

That buys her another hour or so and then, finally, her boyfriend makes it back. He looks like shit, hair down and just a mess, he's wearing an entirely different jacket that he got from an alley, and barely recognizable—especially to 5 guys who've been drunk for hours now. He lurks for a minute, finds out what's going on, and proceeds to pull off the trick shot first try. Throws the jacket off, fixes his hair with a hair tie his girlfriend lends him, finally looks like himself again, and THEN beats the shit out of them with the pool cue.

yuh i was there, that's how it happened

[trevalia-deactivated20170224]

On 6 June 1987, David Bowie performed at the “Concert for Berlin” - a three day festival that was held in the West of the city. It took place in the Platz der Republik in front of the Reichstag. The government building was not in use by the West German government due to its close proximity to the Berlin Wall. The proximity to the wall meant that the concert was heard by thousands of East Berliners who were standing on the other side of the wall. This was the only way the Easterners could have heard Western music live, as most musicians were banned from performing in the East for fear of inciting the youth of the East to rebel.

Eventually the police on the Eastern side used violence against the public crowded there whilst the gig was ongoing - and this was presumably heard on stage by Bowie as he stood closest to the wall. At the end of his set, David Bowie first thanked his fans on the West side of the wall, and then acknowledged the people - his friends, he said - he knew were standing on the Eastern side.

Bowie later called it one of the most emotional performances he’d ever done, with him being able to hear both the West and East Berliners singing and cheering for him from both sides of the wall, and the later screams from the Eastern fans as violence was used against them.

When Bowie’s death was publicised, the German Foreign Office sent a tweet reading, “Good-bye, David Bowie. You are now among #Heroes. Thank you for helping to bring down the #wall.” in reference to what happened that day as it sparked the first riot of many in the lead up to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.

(Pictured: Fans on the Eastern side of the wall listening to David Bowie. It is not known how the photographer managed to get away with taking this photo.)

Listen companies releasing half-baked games that require paid DLC to feel complete is bad but can we all agree it was objectively funny for Dragon Age 2 to lock the only straight character behind a paywall.
