I’m sad he’s dead and at the same time I’m shocked he lived to be 65…
R. I. P., Shane MacGowan…
- Thread starter Maroon Eagle
- Start date
Never heard of him. In the future, please post your condolences on the obituary
Starting your day off drinking the hard stuff this early in the morning, eh? **
MacGowan had his demons too but what a genius… You might know him for being the male lead on Fairytale of New York. It’s become quite the Christmas song the past few years…
Even though he’s been on the board for ten years, Baddog11 must be as sheltered as the newbie who reported IMPP’s post earlier this week… **
I have never reported anybody but I was banned here back in 2013 for celebrating when Dak Prescott replaced Tyler Russell.
To be fair, that was before Dak was ¡Dak! and was a quarterback known here mostly for being adored by Coach34…
That said, kudos for the prescience…
Backup quarterbacks are the most loved people in MSU fandom… until they become the starters.
Dak is the Exception that proves that rule of thumb…
As I recall C34 nicknamed him “check down Charlie” and predicted he would not be successful in the NFL. I’m sure if you ask him c34 will explain how he was still right about that.
Prove it. I don’t believe you.
Well that sucks. RIP. I don't have any Pogues Irish Whiskey so later today it'll have to be a Jameson in his memory.
If I have the opportunity to speak with him, I’ll pass
Next time you want the backup put in, post some pics of hot chicks to be on the safe side.
He was definitely right about that, mainly because Rick Stansbury is the worst basketball coach in MSU history.
If it makes you feel any better, I'd never heard of him either. Now if it had been Rodney Linderman...
SPS: The TLDR. **
He also celebrated the ending of East and West SEC basketball which was bad for Miss State.
Probably my favorite secular Christmas song, and I only found it recently by Googling some random "best Christmas song" list.
Same here, never heard of him or The Pogues, so I did "the Googles" for my benefit and all the others in the dark. Well, that explains it, I've never been a follower of "English Irish Celtic Punk band(s)"
What is your pretend genre of eclectic music that you claim to like on message boards to appear more well rounded but in reality just have Nickelback on repeat?***
I wave my glowsticks around to the motorcycle helmet guys with the best of them.**
My "pretend to like" music would have to be Dave Matthews band as evidenced by all the stickers on the back windshield of my truck along side the 30-A, Salt Life, and Yeti ones too. Some of them are hard to see though because of that VP racing gas can with the long rubber hose sticking up out of the bed
The story of
ah, yes sir. Here it is.
I don't believe I would have reposted that. That's pretty pathetic.The story of
ah, yes sir. Here it is.
Don't hate on those gas cans. They are the only ones they make now days that don't require you spend more time trying to get gas in your mower than actually mowing...
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that perhaps the timing of you exuberance could have been off just a smidge.The story of
ah, yes sir. Here it is.
I knew of him/The Pogues due to the time-frame when they dropped their first record. I bought it, listened once, and traded it at the Music Recycle store. The music was not my bag, but I always hate to hear when a peer (age) passes too soon. Most of my music icons are dead from opioid abuse.
I agree, but, Amazon is your friend. I remodel the new ones as soon as I get them w/ old style fittings:
That's brilliant. Why didn't I think of this simple fix a few years ago when I was cutting up a downed tree in my yard? I spent more time cussing that knew fangled "safety" can than on the tree.
The biggest surprise to seeing the news about Shane MacGowan was that he'd made it to 65. Those of us of a certain age know The Pogues' work well.
Sometimes wife and I go to estate sales. My first stops are always the shop and carport and I always check for old plastic gas cans...they're getting harder and harder to find
You can buy a cheap funnel and unscrew the Gov't lid and pour it in the funnel. Let's not act like an engineer and over complicate these things. I never heard of the Pogues either. Edited to add I googled them and they suck

I contend that it your are too dumb to use a gas can that actually pours gas, you most assuredly should NOT be using whatever equipment you are trying to fuel.
Funnel is my solution as well.The guvmnt is so smart. Create a can that basically forces you to spill more fuel and release copious amounts of vapor into the air (and your lungs).
I contend that if you think the people who hate those cans are the dumb ones in the equation, you might be dumb.
Opinions vary. I think they are great. It's not often you see a fusion of punk and Irish trad. It worked for me.
