Captain Giraffe BAR

Thank you Wagner!

For the last month or so, I've been working on putting out Let's Play videos with a buddy of mine on YouTube. Idk if any of you have any interest in Fortnite, but basically the premise of our show is we try to recreate famous buildings of the world in the game. Here's an episode we did featuring the Arc de Triomphe. I'd love to hear any feedback y'all have!

Happy Birthday McDowell!

Yeah dude! I even recorded an EP a few years ago - https://sebastiansings.bandcamp.com/album/sandburg I haven't done a lot since then, but I'm working on some things now for the near future! Mostly just been doing grad school stuff (finished in December) and working on a documentary. Also been doing some let's plays and other video editing. What have I missed???

Hey all, It has apparently been two years (!!???!!) since I posted anything here. It's crazy how quickly time passes. Anyway, I hope all of you are well, and hopefully I'll get in some games on the pub server soon. Idk if I still know anyone on here (it seems most people I do are Ret. now), but I hope you're all well. Best regards (and *giraffe noises*), Capt. Giraffe

Hope you don't have any more unwelcome surprises Dillon, and the recovery goes well!

Wait Lloyd are you a yiddo?? PLEASE SAY YOU'RE A YIDDO!

This isn't right, on a number of levels. A very vocal part of Crimea has spoken out in favor of joining Russia, sure, but the Russian government has bussed over scores of Russian citizens to sell that image as well. The oldest inhabitants of Crimea, the Tatars who have lived there since the Mongolian conquest, have had virtually no say in the matter, and would much rather live under a Ukranian government that doesn't try to systematically deport them like the Russian government has for 200 years. The "vote" that was held most certainly was not democracy, as it was entirely orchestrated and run by the autocratic Russian government as a pretense for annexation. And it does matter. You know who cares about Russia's annexation of Crimea? Moldova, Poland, Estonia, countries that have seen shit like this happen before and know what it leads to. This is not a good thing, I can guarantee you that, and it will have ramifications. They might not be military ramifications, I certainly hope they aren't, but they will be significant.

This song's everything I love and thus tells you all you need to know about me.

Well Crimea's basically the nicest part of Ukraine, so I think it would beat the hell out of Afghanistan.

And in most states in the U.S... doesn't mean she's not too young lol

That "olympic ring guy found dead" story is fake. It's the Daily Currant which is a fucking idiotic "satirical" publication that makes up stories that sound real.

I could spend days talking about how this is a very popular attitude because of the decades-long conflict the USA had with the USSR, and how there's loads of Schadenfreude at seeing a long-time rival screw up. American media have had a field day pointing out everything that goes wrong, and you better believe they're picking every little thing apart moreso than they have for any other Olympic competition -including the one that was held in a city where people need masks to go outside because the air is so fucking polluted. Of course there are issues with these Olympics, of course there is corruption, the threat of terrorism, and last-minute preparations. These problems that have occurred at tons of Olympics over the years. Does that excuse them? No, of course not, but do Americans take more joy from Russia's failures than others, yes. I don't like Vladimir Putin: I think he's a tyrant, a bully, and I think the way he's able to play on Russians' fears and convictions to get what he wants is disturbing to say the least. But I sympathize with the Russian people, many of whom are immensely proud of these Olympics, and I'm annoyed at how blatantly so much American coverage is massively biased against the host country.

The guy was sober for like 23 years, you guys have no clue about what kind of father he was, or any idea of who he was in his private life. Addiction is complicated, and to point the finger at a dead man is unproductive and disrespectful. It's not your place to judge. RIP Mr. Hoffman, you were truly a great actor. Almost Famous and Capote are two of my favorites of his.
