This song came on my YT playlist today and thought it was really topical for how I will remember John McCain. Additionally, if anyone likes close reading lyrics, please feel free to listen or chime in.

Amy was a waitress at the Fire Street Grill
Up route six eleven, she was slaving for the pill
Oxy's got her pupils pinned up, junkie centerfold
With grey hairs and a death wish, she was twenty-two years old
Had it all, took the fall
Had it all, took the fall

Specialist Jeg, a much more honest man than you
Came back from the desert where he never found the truth
Now he screeches tires, fills his head with alcohol
While the morbid, brown faces hang like portraits on the wall
Had it all, took the fall
Had it all, they took it all

Something happened on the way to hell
The new guard, they took my sister
Something happened on the way to hell
The old guard, they took my brother away
Something happened on the way to hell
The same greed, it took our parents
Something happened on the way to hell
The west wall, it took us with it

McTiernan was a good old boy, he cheated and he skimmed
"A favor for a favor, it can't be called a sin"
Some may see it different, and some don't see at all
When the papers started calling
He closed his eyes and took the fall
Had it all, took the fall
Had it all, took the fall

Now we're standing on the ledge and we're looking at the ground
I feel my body breaking on the asphalt
Hear the sound
Red and blue lights screaming
Saying, "Step up off that ledge"
So we wrap our hearts up in our heads and take the fall instead
Had it all, took the fall
Had it all, took the fall

Something happened on the way to hell
The new guard, they took my sister
Something happened on the way to hell
The old guard, they took my brother away

Something happened on the way to hell
The same greed, it took our parents
Something happened on the way to hell
The west wall, it took us with it


The way I read it, all these random persons were varying levels of average, perhaps struggling: a waitress, a career armed services kid, a grifter. But they "had it all" in that they had the potential for a good life in their youth. But, having went into the military and gone to war, they're either dead or emotionally broken.



And just like that, my sentimentality for John McCain goes:

I agree, aside from a payday, Chuck is going to regret this one. While in their prime, Tito was no match - chuck has CTE, hasn't been active for a long while and Tito looked somewhat passable in his bellator run

I'll never get the image of him crumpling after being tagged by Franklin out of my head


He's not gonna stop till he dies in the ring.
 
Wishing death is beyond exaggerated -- it's obviously affecting his mental stability and no one is forced to sherdog - it's easy enough to not visit Internet message boards. The sort of debates and opinions are not really seen as frequently outside the Internet. There's also pure left wing boards out there for him to spend his time on.

I take his comment as unhinged over exaggerated

Almost everything I say is over exaggerated I suppose. I'm almost conditioned for it at this point oddly enough.

I suppose it's overarching apathy for the country in general. I just don't think it gets better and I think we've passed the point of no return.

Look at how desensitized we are to shootings. Victims aren't seen as anything more than talking points, we are so conditioned now that instead of accepting reality, people think that crisis actors are more realistic than a bunch of dead children.

It's not that I wish death really, it's just that I would shrug my shoulders if it happened. Which is what we all do in one way or another.
 
"Good value"? You objectify dudes? That's not just gay, it's sleazy gay.

Yeah. I value people from here taking the time out of their lives to meet some random dude for beers. Picking up the check while a muay thai savage like @sickc0d3r is at the mercy of his bladder is money well spent. Sorry your commie ass is the guy in the bathroom while the big boys pay.

@Cubo de Sangre @Jack V Savage @JudoThrowFiasco

You know one critically-mediocre movie that I really enjoy?

Year One with Jack Black and Michael Cera. I think this movie is fucking hilarious. There are so many Michael Cera deadpan moments that get me.

Not seen it. Jack Black usually means some entertainment.
 
I voted in AZs GOP primary. I voted for Arpio. Please don’t judge me, I have my reasons.
 
That you're trying to give the Democrats their best chance is the only acceptable reason imo.
Haha. True but it’s a little more personal when my family was living in the outskirts of Phoenix back in the day

I'm actually pretty surprised at how shitty that old POS is polling. Last I checked he was at like 15%. I figured he'd be a legitimate threat.

Yea no one likes him. His profiling lawsuit cost the AZ taxpayers a lot of money.

I hope he doesn’t win but I voted for him just because of past reasons. McSally will win probably

Lol, somehow I knew you'd be holding that over my head. G'damn accountants. Glad it was happy hour at least!

Just having some fun. And in all fairness I acknowledge you did pick up a couple since we didn't actually leave when initially intended. :)

Sounds like your date stiffed you with the bill.

Her commercials annoy the crap out of me, but I cannot really see any other outcome.
