Eggzellent question  

In all fairness, pure coincidence that I also annoyed my friends for years using the “eggz” in place of “exc” in texts and was actually surprised to see The Cagey-Wan doing the same here on HS. Had already posted many times before even noticing the mimic. Same for the WTF Mullet Guy, based on the singer of my fave guilty pleasure band Blink 182 from one of their vids. Been cracking up friends (and annoying the Wifer) with all 3 versions of that gif (regular, Homer Simpson, and Matrix) for over a decade. Dopplesquawkerz…….or ARE we

Blink 182

Not Pearl Jam’s fav Mookie Blaylock?  As a hip hopper growing up we respected Nirvana, Blink, Red Hot chili, Green Day, Pearl Jam and REM. Possibly a few others. Outside of that I only know Pac, Smalls and the west coast bad boys 4 life.

Update:

Schlenk noted that De’Andre Hunter (knee surgery) will not be a full go at the start of camp, but has progressed to playing 1-on-1 and should be ready for the start of the season. Additionally, the GM added that Bogdan Bogdanovic (PRP injection in knee), Clint Capela (PRP injection in Achilles) and Kevin Huerter (ankle procedure) will all also be limited to start camp. Schlenk did note that he expects all four players to be ready to go by opening night, which is Oct. 21 when Atlanta hosts the Dallas Mavericks.

Schlenk also said that Onyeka Okongwu (shoulder surgery) is hoping to be back by late December as a personal goal, but the team remains on the original timeline that tracked him to be back some time in January.

The GM added that the Hawks will be 100% vaccinated for COVID-19 before the regular season. He notes that the entire staff and all players are already vaccinated, other than one player who is receiving his second shot next week.

Forgive if horse's mouth vid is already posted under one of the other threads...

I still love Nirvana. 90s was a Great era for music. Can't say the same thing for our current era unfortunately.

Saw Nirvana live at The Omni 11/29/93 only a few months before his suicide.

I worked at the gas ️ station and pumped full service for my first job ever and worked with a guy who loved blasting that. He also looked like Kurt himself and got a lot of tang.

I had a left-handed guitarist friend who looked just like him too (he knew it and milked it) and scored proficiently as well

No I worked for a mafia type family that owned the station.. but I did eat paint chips as a kid but that’s a separate issue.

ps There is a stereotype in movies where the has attend uses one rag for everything like checking out the oil wiping gas ️ up and then eating bananas while doing push-ups? All true.

I was a senior at UGA, we were halfway back halfway up on stage left and could clearly see Courtney holding baby Bean on the side of the stage the entire show
