Patty was doing a live video chat with a photographer/videographer yesterday and I had the chance to ask a few questions. She didn't address/acknowledge most of them but did answer one.
I asked what was her most treasured memorabilia from that period in her life that she managed to hold onto. She said that she had parted ways with most of it over time (she had a rough go for a while and was homeless for a couple of years post-Hole) but that she still has the "Foxes" t-shirt that Kurt gave to her. Almost everyone has seen this shirt from the famous Anton Corbijn photoshoot in July/Aug 1993. It was from a 1980 Jodie Foster movie, she explained.
He gave it to her and said "Here Patty, you should have this shirt, not me."
Kind of interesting. Something we didn't know yesterday, right? What would you have asked her?
She was certainly one of Kurt's closest friends in the last couple of years and also lived with Kurt in Courtney in LA in 1992 when she joined Hole.

I'm almost done listening to the audiobook version (which Patty did a great job doing) and I just thought I'd recommend it. Even if you aren't a HOLE fan at all.
One story about Kurt I found particularly honest is one in which Patty runs into him at Kaitlin's (their dope dealer's) house the first time she went to score some. It seems everyone in their group of friends tried to keep their drug habits to themselves, so Kurt was surprised to find Patty there. She says it was an awkward encounter and that Kurt was "standoffish". She felt like she had disappointed him in some way,"What are you looking for" he asks. "I came to buy a little dope, no big deal" says Patty. "Don't. You shouldn't do this." Kurt said. She was new to it, and didn't want to hear this. After a few minutes, Kurt had a change of heart when Patty told him she had only tried it a couple times and didn't even know how to give herself a shot. Kurt relented and Patty goes on to describe Kurt sharing his dope and helping her shoot up. After that she would start going to Kaitlin's every day.
This shed some light on Kurt's strong relationship with heroin to me, but also his sense of responsibility for those close to him. Even though H became a norm in that scene, I think like most addicts Kurt must have wished he had never messed with it. And never experienced that moment where a drug just "clicks" with you and it becomes ingrained in your life. Once you are deep in it, the exit door seems very far away, or you don't think you can find it (which Patty delves into when talking about Kurt's first real intervention). At the end of the day he lost his way out, but he didn't want anyone else to be in that place. This just resonated with me cause Kurt has often wrongly been portrayed as the self-centered, constantly in denial, irresponsible rock star.
Anyways that's just one part I found interesting. I suggest you guys check it out, there are some great "behind the scenes" stories that you won't find in any Nirvana book. Also Patty is a very inspiring & talented person who had quite the battle with addictions most of her life.
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
The nurse asked the rabbit, “what is your blood type?”
“I am probably a type O” said the rabbit.

The doctor says it terminal.
Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual
So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes
r/unclejokes for dirty jokes
r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC
r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes
Punchline !
Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub
Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat
Do your worst!
How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?
We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.
Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.
They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.

Gender is fluid.
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
But let me give it a shot.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
