Only 12?
Me, with a flipper zero: SkipSkipSkipSkip…
Search your feelings, you know it to be true.
I’m through with standing in line to clubs I’ll never get in,
It’s like the bottom of the 9th and I’m never gonna win,
This life hasn’t turned out quite the way I want it to be…
(That’s right. Fuck y’all; I like Nickelback 😤)
They’re were like President Bush.
In 2004/2005 everyone claimed they hated them to their friends, but the numbers told a different story.
I can’t even remember who ran against Bush in 2004…
i think john kerry
He was such a terrible candidate. I think he may have been okay as President, but he had zero charisma. The right couldn’t even be bothered to hate him.
Howard Dean was a more exciting candidate, but him making a weird sound in a speech somehow disqualified him from office.
This is how you remind us of what we really are.
I read that as 12 straight days
That’d be a helluva lotta money to dump in a jukebox.

3 seconds later the bartender clears the queue and OP wasted $20 to annoy nobody.
The trick is to play one thing inexplicably awful that the bartender won’t realize is so just by looking at the name.
Like Ram Ranch. Like, sure they’ll probably cancel it after about 20 seconds when they realize what the fuck is going on. But you still got everyone in the bar to hear about gay cowboys for 20 seconds.
My goto is Good Lookin’ - such a generic title and sound that almost nobody recognizes it even if they’ve heard it before. Takes at least a solid minute before someone notices over the bar background noise and complains about it.
As a former bartander / bar manager, we skipped bad plays ALL the time.
I bet. I’ve seen karaoke night, it’s brutal how many shitty renditions of “fuck her gently” and “Bohemian Rhapsody” you have to sit through.
Definitely learned that lesson, but I just wanted to listen to Dillinger Escape Plan in a college bar.
I could have drank that money!
The opportunity costs are real
Fuck me I forgot that’s a feature on almost every jukebox! And I just left a comment about doing something similar.
I can’t remember the band or the song, but there was a jam band song that went in for 40ish minutes at a bar I used to go to. You could play it four times for a dollar.
There was a pool hall/bar in lake Park called mizrack’s that had an old school juke box that would physically pull a cd like the record playing ones of yore. I played “supper’s ready” by Genesis 10 times with a $5 bill before getting one beer and leaving. I used to be a terrible person, I still am, but I used to be as well.
This is going to sound odd but are you FlyingSquid?
Used to chat to that account sometimes then we stopped hearing from them and people got concerned.
Not the first time I’ve been asked. Sorry to disappoint, I am not.
No problem. I’m sure you’re just as cool. 😎
I miss flying squid. Dude had top tier shitposts
Yeah he was the shit, guy commented on EVERYTHING.
Guess he believed in this place of slop and debauchery. I like to believe that someday his silky wet squid fingers will grace us once again.
Same. He moved to my country and then just fell off the map. Hoping he’s just enjoying life too much to be online.
IIRC he was trying to get his family over as well, hope they’re on holiday on a beach away from the new reich
Well you know what they say:
I’m through with standing in lines to clubs I’ll never get in,
It’s like the bottom of the ninth and I’m never gonna win,
This life hasn’t turned out quite the way I want it to beWhen I was a kid my buddies and I would stop in a burger joint and play I Touch Myself as many times as we had quarters and leave.
We would also play Scatman at this little diner we would go for breakfast. The juke selection was in all the booths.
I like to play songs from Star Wars but it turns out the bar can override it. :(
I have a friend who is unapologetically a weirdo (really that describes most of my friends and myself I suppose, but this story is about one of them in particular)
We’re at a bar for his birthday. This place was formerly a real dump of a dive/biker bar but has cleaned itself up a bit. Still kind of a dive, but it’s a nice dive. It’s located practically right on the border of a really shitty town and one that’s generally pretty nice, so it gets an interesting selection of patrons there.
He’s a regular there, he actually lived in a small motel attached to the bar for a bit while his house needed some major repairs.
Again, he’s a bit of a weirdo, it’s his birthday, he’s been drinking, and he wants to listen to some Disney song (I’m pretty sure it was “part of your world” from the little mermaid) so he goes and queues it up on the jukebox
And the song never plays
So he does it again. And again it never plays.
Eventually he figures out that the bartender (what was new and didn’t really recognize him as a regular) was skipping it when it came up.
We ask her to just let it play for him for his birthday, she refused
So he queues it up about 10 times in a row, she can’t skip them all fast enough, it finally starts playing, she’s getting mad at us,some asshole dudebros in the bar are getting annoyed that this song is now playing twice, and we’re all politely yet firmly asked to leave.
So we fuck off to another bar owned by the same person, we’re welcomed in, they let us play the damn song, they mention to to the owner who apparently told the bartender who was giving us issues to chill and there hasn’t been any issue since.
I’m sorry for real, but this story wasn’t worth the time.
E: I still upvoted for the effort
I like Nickelback…I just think they were overplayed back in the how you remind me / someday days… But the band is pretty decent
