Don’t I still have the majority of her pre 2000 albums floating around on cassettes somewhere? Hasn’t this conversation given me the urge to go and dig them up from wherever they are?

Shouldn’t you go out and get some of her more recent stuff? Isn’t it great, too?

Don’t I count myself lucky to have seen her in concert twice?

Haven’t I seen her once (and wasn’t Lou Reed there and wasn’t I like 25 feet from Lou Reed because we were like in the second row???) and wouldn’t I love to see her once again? Which tours did you catch her on?

Wasn’t it the mostly spoken word tour in support of Tales From The Nerve Bible (which I got autographed that afternoon) and the one for Bright Red?

ETA Isn’t she just a wonderful storyteller as well? Wouldn’t you happily go see her just tell stories on stage for 2 hours with no songs?

Didn’t my husband go see that tour, too (the Nerve Bible, which we also have his autographed copy)? Isn’t the album for that tour wonderful?

Wouldn’t I? But don’t I love her soundscaping experiments, too, which is sort of the heart of her musical work as much as the story telling?

Can’t you do what I do, and carry an actual camera with you (not a smartphone), and watch it die the day your son graduates college?

Hasn’t that happened to me on vacation, more than once? Don’t I feel your pain acutely?

Did anyone have an iPad to loan you? :wink:

Didn’t I give the iPad my department bought for me back to the department after I’d played with it for around an hour? But isn’t the camera on my Lumia smartphone almost as good as an iPad, but not remotely as good as my now-broken mechanical-zoom Fuji Xf1?

Did I just make a frickin’ donkey of myself in the newish song lyrics thread?

Just when I’d finally got the hang of this FSMforsaken thread?

Anyone need reminding that it’s Father’s Day?

Aren’t my choices: one dead, one estranged due to abuse, and one out of the country?

Aren’t I off to dance with Matt from Where the Heck Is Matt? instead? And didn’t he fight changing his original title for years, until finally he realized there were too many children watching his videos to keep using the H-E-double-hockey-sticks word?

Nope, isn’t it the best day of the year to have many children?

But don’t I still miss my own dad, what, 40 years on?

Aren’t I just enjoying the quiet till the teenager wakes up? Didn’t MrsTobinL just make me some eggs and bacon?
Isn’t this about the perfect sentiment for the day?

Assuming that Father’s day starts at midnight, why in the world did I spend the first hour of it cleaning the kitchen, the next hour copyediting someone else’s paper, and the following 4 hours trying unsuccessfully to fall asleep, so that I am now sitting on the lanai drinking my morning coffee with a bangeroo of a headache several hours before the rest of the family is likely to stir?

Because you’re a dad? :wink:
