@Dabe @dabe.com · 30/09/2026Every day I take a Gingko Biloba for memory, a Ginseng for energy, and a Gingko Biloba for memory. 030
@Dabe @dabe.com · 08/09/2026It's that moment you hear the kick [pun] at the end of "Need You Tonight", and you realize they're going to play "Mediate", too... (Though my *FAVORITE* is a mashup I made of "Devil Inside" with "Béla Lugosi's Dead" by Bauhaus) 030
@Dabe @dabe.com · 02/09/2026I saw "Songs In The Key Of Life" Do I have to turn in my Bluesky Badge? 020
@Dabe @dabe.com · 22/08/2026I used to eat french fries by pretending each one was a witch on a broom, and the ketchup was the "fire" coming from the back... She'd fly toward my mouth, but then at the last second, turn around so all I got was the whisk part, and she'd have to go back and light it again with more ketchup. 😋 030
@Dabe @dabe.com · 22/08/2026I used to think I was old when I started to groan every time I stood up... I *KNEW* I was getting old when I started to groan every time I sat *DOWN!* That's what makes us "Groan Ups" 010
@Dabe @dabe.com · 22/08/2026Mostly 'cuz I finished making all the good ones in 2002, and there hasn't been enough decent music since then to fill another. «sigh» 110
@Dabe @dabe.com · 19/08/2026During an interview with Angus Young, the reporter accused AC/DC of having twelve albums that all sound the same... Angus was LIVID! "I'll have you know," he said, "that we happen to have *THIRTEEN* albums that all sound the same!!" 🤘 021
@Dabe @dabe.com · 18/08/2026My wife would kill me if I didn't include our wedding song: "More" by Bobby Darin youtube.com/watch?v=Gt1I...m.youtube.comMore (2001 Remaster)YouTube video by Bobby Darin - Topic 030
@Dabe @dabe.com · 14/08/2026Drove down to the Science Museum of Virginia in Richmond for the Rolling Stones Laser Light Show in the planetarium dome... It was *QUITE* the show! 🤩 101
@Dabe @dabe.com · 30/07/2026I always say my favorite harmonica player is Mick Jagger... Not 'cuz he's a great harpist, but because I love the SONGS from those days. 010
@Dabe @dabe.com · 28/07/2026Also: You often hear, "Those Who Can, Do; Those Who Can't... Teach" 🙄 But it *ISN'T WRONG!* People who are great at what they do have a hard time explaining it, whereas I suck, and have to work hard to get better. So: "Those Who Can, Do; Those Who Can't... *LEARN!* And Those Who Learn, Teach." 🧐 020
@Dabe @dabe.com · 28/07/2026My wife and I teach Swing Dancing (Lindy, Bal) We TEACH great together and we DANCE great together but for some reason we don't _LEARN_ great together... But one day she said "Maybe we could *LEARN* to Learn Together?" Which I 💯 love because it could also be parsed "Learn to Learn... TOGETHER!" 🤩 020
@Dabe @dabe.com · 28/07/2026The "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" from Delicate Sound of Thunder (Live) I don't usually prefer live versions, but this one's exceptional... We used to put that on, then «air quotes» ''play'' the Color Echo demo that came with the 3DO Sampler CD; it was transcendent! 🫠 youtube.com/watch?v=D1xH...youtube.comColor Echo 3DO Demo from Sampler CD 1993YouTube video by capn shrimpy 060
@Dabe @dabe.com · 28/07/2026You SAY that, but when our son was little I came up with Nap Man — whose superpower was, well, napping! 😴 I even managed to make up, like, three different scenarios where, e.g., "The robber is getting away; help us Nap Man!" and he would yawn and lie down and the ne'er-do-well would trip over him. 020
@Dabe @dabe.com · 28/07/2026I'mma braid that one long eyebrow hair together with the ones growing out of my ear... It'll be awesome (At least 'cuz of the mustache, you don't notice my nose hair) 141

@Dabe @dabe.com · 13/07/2026† The one exceptional Haunted House was the Mansfield Penitentiary in Mansfield, Ohio — the actual prison where they filmed The Shawshank Redemption. The place itself is legit *CREEPY* and they don't just Jump Scare you, they, e.g., breathe on the back of your neck then disappear, etc. 10/10 STARS 110
@Dabe @dabe.com · 13/07/2026"In The Mouth Of Madness" was one of the only movies that gave me literal nightmares afterward; like I dreamed everyone around me was becoming an alien/monster... Most horror movies (and haunted houses† for that matter) have me thinking too much about the behind-the-scenes work that went into them. 120
@Dabe @dabe.com · 08/07/2026Meg White — Precisely because she *ISN'T* a Stewart Copeland or Neil Peart; she's my "Anti-Hero" drummer, and I love that! 🤩 010
@Dabe @dabe.com · 08/07/2026My Crackpot Theory™ is that the ancients MELTED the sand into liquid glass, then poured/piped it /in situ/ — and when it hardened, it was transparent like crystal! (But after 4500 years, it's settled.) How much energy must it've taken to melt all that? They had to burn the entire "Sahara FOREST!" 😉 000
@Dabe @dabe.com · 07/07/2026Timeless Music is Timeless The 50s gave us Chuck Berry and Rock 'n Roll 🎸 The 60s gave us Psychedelia and a Cambrian Explosion of Artistic Innovation 🫠 The 70s gave us Power Rock and Disco; (You wouldn't have New Wave and EDM without it) 🕺 The 80s–90s gave us equal parts Optimism, Emo, and Angst 🤘 010
@Dabe @dabe.com · 05/07/2026I can't think of anything more 'Murican than, "I don't care about my neighbors' families, as long as *I'M* having fun!" 000
@Dabe @dabe.com · 05/07/2026My new favorite sing-along game is, when they're about to say "Tequila" yell out another drink, instead: – "Fuzzy Navel!" – "Appletini!" – "White Claw!!!" 😈 010
Reposted by @DabeSeth Kibel @sethkibel.bsky.social · 26/06/2026Tomorrow (Saturday)! I get to play with the Girls From Mars, a swing band from the Philly area! Another Gottaswing dance at Glen Echo Park. The band plays 9 to 11:30 pm, but there's an intro dance lesson at 8 pm included. Save $10 and get your tickets BEFORE noon tomorrow! 001
@Dabe @dabe.com · 22/06/2026Do misheard lyrics count? "Pre-Algebra was a devil of a time for me... for ME... FOR *MEEE!*" 011
@Dabe @dabe.com · 19/06/2026Is it mounted to the passenger seat with that weird, bendy gooseneck thing? And what about the Sun Visor CD Holder? 😎 000
Reposted by @DabeSeth Kibel @sethkibel.bsky.social · 19/06/2026Tonight, at Terrapin Nature Park on Kent Island, brought to you by Queen Anne's County Parks and Recreation. The weather looks be absolutely PERFECT! 6 to 8 pm! Free, with food trucks and more! Bring a chair or blanket. Sean Lane on keys, Derek Wiegmann on double bass, and El Torro Gamble on drums. 001
@Dabe @dabe.com · 19/06/2026"That was good" and "I enjoyed it" aren't always the same thing... I've certainly enjoyed plenty of Not Good things — many thanks to you 🙏 — just as I've "meh"-ed my way through a great deal of Critically Acclaimed slop. "In matters of taste, there can be no debate." «grin» 000
@Dabe @dabe.com · 16/06/2026My dad and I were at a Sam Goody or something, and I wanted to buy "Licensed To Ill"... I asked him, "Should I but it on Record or Tape?" and he said, "If it's ever going to be WORTH anything someday: Vinyl" (And it's probably still in his attic somewhere... «grin») 030
@Dabe @dabe.com · 16/06/2026I've been thinking A *LOT* recently about "The Fletcher Memorial Home For Incurable Tyrants and Kings" «sigh» 130
@Dabe @dabe.com · 16/06/2026In *MY* day, you'd get tickets for both (or all three) shows — and hear different songs each night! (In fact, I'd occasionally have an extra, and the way I decided whom to "miracle" was by asking, "Hey, do you know what song they encored with last night?" The ones who knew DESERVED it!) 000
@Dabe @dabe.com · 16/06/2026"I've got a bike You can ride it if you like It has a basket, a bell that rings And things that make it look good." 080
@Dabe @dabe.com · 20/05/2026I just rearranged one app on my iPhone's home screen... I swear, it's like they looked at the way Microsoft Word destroys your document layout whenever you move an image, and thought, "Mmmm, yes that!" 😡 000
@Dabe @dabe.com · 13/04/2026I can't wait to hear You-Know-Who try to read the word "Semiquincentennial" 000
@Dabe @dabe.com · 31/03/2026On a recent visit to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY, I learned about another Casey At The Bat "response" poem — this one from 1907 entitled, "The Man Who Fanned Casey" by T.M. Fowler: www.baseball-almanac.com/poetry/po_ca... (I still like mine, though, hehe! 😉)baseball-almanac.com 010
@Dabe @dabe.com · 17/03/2026I can "fix" the vinyl for you with a sharp nail... 😈 (Actually, a well-aligned piece of tape ought to give you a quick "skip") 070
@Dabe @dabe.com · 12/03/2026Projects where each step takes ~1–2 minutes often take longer than those where you "fire-and-forget" a single, thirty-minute batch script; after ten seconds waiting for the former, I've started to multitask, and I forget to come back to it until after lunch! «sigh» 000
