In 2012, World of Warcraft released an expansion with a playable monk class. In the 10 years or so I played the game after that, it saddens me that not a single person in game got the “Edgruberman” name I gave my monk.

man I had an entire cassette carrying case of episodes of the Dr Demento radio show that I recorded off of he radio. Sadly in the proccess of my many moves I misplaced it. Dr Demento was the best thing to happen to radio

[@Sembazuru]

I had something similar, but I had taken the extra step to then transfer to another tape the radio recordings only the songs, removing any duplicates, and indexing them all. Also with me, sadly, those tapes went missing a long time ago.

About 5-6 years before this came out, my parents enrolled me in karate classes, hoping that I would be able to hold my own against the bullies I was facing in school at the time. After two years I obtained my yellow belt, and they figured I knew all I needed to know. Luckily my sensei was NOT running a 'McDojo' - which is what Ed Grubermann was looking for. Yes, we had learned the basics, but thankfully he took the time to show that it was only the start of the journey, and that with our little knowledge we were more dangerous to ourselves then our opponents.
