Kevin OMalleyThe Grateful Dead have moments that feel like when your boss ("Randy") made you come see his blues-rock band play at that sports bar by the airport with the bad chicken wings.
Randy's band was called “Groove Plan” or “The Slick Skinnies" or "Corvette Society" or some shit.
God, I fucking hated Randy.
Every Randy has a weird mustache and was already an unenthusiastic stepfather at birth.
There are whole books about these people.
poswald@hotdogsladies Randy is enthusiastic about beer but also has never had a beer that wasn’t for sale at the local supermarket.
@poswald Randy claims to know a lot about boats.
@hotdogsladies Randy is helping a guy install a new porch. He keeps telling you how he’s getting paid $300 for it but will also spend about that on gas driving his F350 to Lowes for lumber. The porch sucks.
John Willis 🔰@hotdogsladies Every week you come up with new NPCs for “Club Musician Simulator” I surprisingly recognize from a different angle - I always came across them at their house or day job, trying to get their Performa to print by dismantling the entire nicotine stained printer with a kitchen screwdriver.
One of my favorite clients from the old days was a tshirt screen printing company - the wife managed the company, the husband did the screening. The old PowerMac that generated & printed the screen masks invariably had print driver or internet troubles, so the husband would badly dismantle the computer searching for a loose wire like it was a pinball machine, reassembling it incorrectly.
After I eventually re-reassembled and fixed the extensions conflict, the wife padlocked the tower shut.

@hotdogsladies So true. My actual mustachioed stepdad is named Randy. I’m certain he would think Corvette Society is a cool band name.

His band’s name (in my case) is Vitamin Brown, which is also their nickname for Crown Royal.
