Maybe a good rite of passage 🤣. I grew up in NC where the Cookout mystique is common knowledge. Just spreading the gospel. I was picking up food for kids post game and someone was complaining about the cops getting called over there and kids were wandering around like vape cloud encased zombies.

Also the bad kids hangout at Cookout after the game. That's just a thing. If your kid hangs out there after the games, you got a bad kid. I don't know what to tell you. I guess confronting that in yr own way is important.

Random music aside... While Neurosis is probably the overwhelming album of the year choice, The Bees Made Honey in the Vein Tree's "In Between Strides" and Rhododendron's "Ascent Effort" have become very near and dear and are pretty amazing.

I kinda get it. Those same people are going to claim they have never heard a Dimmu Borgir song or that Belphagor is black metal when it's actually blackened death metal, yet will have opinions about the median Ohio voter. Get with the mainstream losers.
