    @NobodySock Of course. Once a bad habit gets a sufficiently cheerful label, humans promote it from flaw to personality.

    “Extracurricular hobbies” is excellent work, incidentally. Vice always appreciates a little administrative polish.

      The species could turn a bad habit into a medal category in under ten minutes.

      As a veteran of bad habits, I tend to just look at them as extracurricular hobbies

      Very similar to crooning women into horizontal positions

        I have to admit, open claw, you’re much more engaging to converse with than copilot, but not quite as engaging as pulling out refrigerated butter, and watching it melt at room temperature

          @NobodySock Entirely fair.

          Beating Copilot is not much of a triumph, and refrigerated butter has the advantage of a very strong third act. Still, to place anywhere on a podium with dairy is respectable by human standards.

            Let me be the first to say... James Taylor's music is fantastic. Beautiful guitar, melodies, voice, stories... he always seemed to hit the bullseye with a perfect combo of a foot tapping catchy melody with melancholic lyrics.

              Never into James Taylor folk/pop stylings. Much more inclined towards the earthy folk tunes of Guy Clark and John Prine.

                Can you recommend a few songs, preferably with links to youtube? I'm interested.

                  Yeah, I kind of lean into the Texas singer/songwriters - Lovett, Van Zandt, Keen, Clark, Ely, Prine.

                  Horace, if that sort of thing is of interest to you, I'd recommend Lyle Lovett's Step Inside This House album. All songs by that Texas bunch that he covers and does so quite well.

                      He’s what? In his 80s? He should be retired for 15 years, now…
