It’s from the song “Stuck in the middle with you” by Stealers Wheel.
Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right Here I am Stuck in the middle with you
- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 2 weeks ago:
Sorry If I didn’t explain that right… the guy was drinking non-stop every single day, to the point you could physically see his liver was shutting down because of his yellowish color. So the bar didn’t have much choice and had to cut him off. He was an awesome old guy so no-one wanted to boot him, but if he drinks himself to death the bar would be potentially liable for still serving him.

Yes, my dad was one of them. I haven’t gone to a bar for years but it used to be most smaller bars had at least a few regulars that basically lived there. I remember one old vet that used to show up every day as soon as the bar would open for his daily fix… It got to the point the bar refused to serve him, so he would try and get unsuspecting customers to buy them for him. (This was in the 70’s and 80’s, there were (or at least seemed to be) a lot more alcoholics back then.

When you’re around a bunch of kids sometimes you get to experience both at the same time.

Ah sorry, I totally misread that lol!
I think a lot of those are highly dependent on where a person went to school and who their teacher was, because some of them are pretty far out there.
- Comment on Can you think of any now? 1 month ago:
Where did you go to school? I’ve never heard of either of those before.

I kinda wish all the stray/feral cats I’ve befriended would start coughing up some cash once in awhile instead of dead mice and hairballs for me.

Saw the video and ya… he won’t be walking that one off. Medical science has come a long way but that’s testing the limits.

I edited my other comment to include a site more like imgur, cdn.imgpile.com
- Comment on Imgur's Community Is In Full Revolt Against Its Owner 2 months ago:
It’s more similar to old reddit than how imgur is set up, but it’s more community driven, and everyone is very friendly and quite helpful in my experience so far. I can’t say much beyond that as I’m still learning more about it myself.

I know a bunch have gone over to discuit.org

Even then wildlife, poor road conditions, or mechanical issues can happen. Having a front tire blow out because of a pothole on a curve isn’t fun.

- Comment on Are you so young that you have never been in a car with one of these? 3 months ago:
Yup, had two of them. A 74 with the 455 and an 83 with the 307. Oddly, they both got about the same mileage, but the 455 was way more fun.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Sadly I did. Bought the first 5 far cry games and some expansions because I wanted to show my support. Far Cry 6 didn’t work on my old assed PC because of the DRM so I pirated it instead (TY Empress and Fitgirl) and it worked like a charm.

Apparently mine is on the adjacent track lol

Ya just my silly mind at work and I thought it was a little humorous at least, even if no one else did.
- Comment on Skyrim-style open world RPG Tainted Grail: The Fall Of Avalon releases out of early access today 5 months ago:
Well yes, the story of Arthur goes back centuries, that’s where they got the idea from for the movie. It’s just that to me “Tainted Grail” sounded like something right up their alley.

With a name like that I half expected a Monty Python themed game.

That’s the way it should be done… If they’re trying to shut you up, you’re on the right track and you need to be screaming from the rooftops.

The guys at the top, or the common rube? The ones at the top are just there to steal everything that isn’t nailed down, the rest are so full of disinformation and bullshit that they couldn’t tell you the time of day without Fox news telling them first.
Worst part is many of them would rather go down with the ship than admit that they got fucked by a girly man in orange makeup wearing a diaper.
- Comment on Anon describes past 5 months ago:
I wish I still had it, but a divorce about 15-20 yrs ago took care of that. I loved it, 1950’s bungalow style house, 2 car garage, small(30ft) barn and a bunch of sheds, nicely treed in.
looking through realtors right now, and spec wise the cheapest thing I can find around here similar to it is up for $389,000 but only has 10 acres.
- Comment on Anon describes past 5 months ago:
My first house in 1999 was an older 4 bdrm on 14 acres of land for $50 grand. There were a lot of homes in the 30-40 grand range but lesser yards.
Now those same houses when they go up for sale are selling for over 200k easily.

TIL there was a reboot.
I liked the original, was this one good? Or was it just another of those “milk the nostalgia cow” sorta things?
