[RedWolf4]

A literal sandwich maker.

[BeoPuppy]

... someone who works at subway is better than sliced bread?

[Thrillho]

Subway doesn't make sandwiches, they make polystyrene displays that you can eat by coincidence.

[Kugai]

Not in NZ, Subway here makes REAL Sandwiches.

[Method of Madness]

That's what they want you to think.

[BeoPuppy]

[LTK]

Here's a thought: since mouthwash kills germs anyway, couldn't you just use the same bottle over and over again?

[GarandMarine]

Once my sister leaves the state this fall and I move back home, I will be the only of four children within 100 miles of our parents. 

[Method of Madness]

So she's the only child within 100 miles of your parents now, right? So it won't be a new experience for them to only have one around, I guess.

[Loki]

The way I understand it, GM and GMsister are currently in the same state and both within 100 miles of their parents.

[Method of Madness]

Except he's over a thousand miles from his state, and he mentions his moving back home in that post.

[GarandMarine]

True, but this is their first year with their third son gone in a more permanent manner (littlest brother just got a house in WA with his buddies) and then my kid sister will be gone as well. So in short, the nest will be completely empty for the first time.

[Welu]

First thing I'm gonna do when I'm back to work is start saving for a proper microphone. Then I'mma post my terrible singing everywhere. In the highest of qualities. Just wait.

my mom's in both opposing hemispheres and we talk several times a week. my dad and I live in the same town, and talk maybe 10 times a year. I've got the weirdest fucking family dynamic ever.

[Kugai]

That's what they want you to think.

Actually, with the nature of our Food Laws here, I can say without a doubt that they are most likely a hell of a lot fresher and more real than what you're used to over in the States.  Same applies to Burger King, KFC and Maccas.

[ChaoSera]

I once saw a video of an experiment, where they took a Burger from McDonald's, one from Burger King and a self-made one and just put them on a shelf and aimed a camera on it. The self-made burger obviously became spoiled in a matter of days and after enough time basically melted. The one from Burger King kinda shriveled away but kept most of it's structural integrity. The McDonald's Burger, though, basically only got dry and hard and that was about it.

[Thrillho]

The White Album sucks.

[Masterpiece]

It really does.

It is also excellent.

[Method of Madness]

Buh?

[Thrillho]

I think Masterpiece was making the point that both style and quality vary wildly on The White Album and that is part of its appeal.

[Method of Madness]

Yeah, but it can't as a whole both suck and be excellent.

[Thrillho]

I'll take that bet.

[Method of Madness]

Actually, yeah, I take that back. I've seen The Room.

[Thrillho]

That, dear boy, was what immediately sprung to mind.

[Patrick]

man, the fuckin White Album. it's half trash, and half solid gold.

[Thrillho]

I still maintain it's not even that good a ratio. I still loathe half of the songs that people seem to think are the better ones like 'Happiness Is A Warm Gun.' I hate those songs that are clearly two separate songs badly stitched together, usually because a shitload of drugs have been taken.

Admittedly, The Beatles on their worst day is still better than most bands at their best - hence songs like 'Birthday' or 'Why Don't We Do It In The Road' being surprisingly decent despite really just being absolute dogshit when you give them more than a moment's examination.

Also, HAVE YOU SEEN THE LITTLE PIGGIES

[Method of Madness]

"Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" is wonderful though and I won't hear otherwise.

[Aimless]

Is there any real difference between paranoia and intuition?

What if I told you,
there's no real difference between paranoia and intuition...?

[Welu]

Paranoia is just intuition proven wrong!

Alternatively:
Intuition is just paranoid proven right!

[Patrick]

Also, HAVE YOU SEEN THE LITTLE PIGGIES

the nicest thing I can say about that song is that it's a great political and social commentary that is totally relevant today, which is depressing. otherwise, that song is complete shit, and fuck you for reminding me it exists.

also I am going to disagree strongly with you on the merits "Warm Gun," I think that song's a damn masterpiece. the polyrhythm during the solo, the 10/4 "Mother Superior" part, the 3/4 vs. 4/4 polyrhythm when "Happiness" starts... it all feels so natural to me, and considering how fucking crazy different it gets, that's a tough feat to accomplish.

[Thrillho]

That song is a fucking abomination.

I guess I find it less impressive that it changes rhythms given that 'Buffalo Bill' does as well. Man half the damn songs on that albums are about characters with stupid shit names.

Don't be hating on Desmond and his pretty face.

[Thrillho]

I can hate on white guys doing reggae accents all I want.

[Method of Madness]

Wait, what? Is that what they're trying to do?

[Thrillho]

Maybe not reggae per se, but you seriously don't hear the accent? They even got sued by a black guy they knew because the titular phrase is something he would say in day to day life.

[Method of Madness]

I seriously don't...also how the hell do they get sued over "something he would say in day to day life"? Just because someone says something doesn't mean they own it.

[Thrillho]

I think he sang it without ever making a full song or recording it, I read it I'm a book iI've not read I'm a while.

[pwhodges]

You haven't fully experienced the White Album if you didn't listen to your new copy with your friends on the day it was released. :p

My views on it are detailed somewhere in the music forum, I think.

[Method of Madness]

And with that post, Hodgy just became the most prolific poster on the forum.

[GarandMarine]

inb4 Hodgy says that about every Beatles album.

inb4 someone starts to start going off about how vinyl will always be the only way to listen to music.

[jwhouk]

The White Album is, as they say, what it is.

[Method of Madness]

Ugh, people who say "it is what it is"* are the worst.

*I'm aware that's not what you said, so you are not the worst, J-dubs.

[Masterpiece]

WHEN I HOLD YOU IN MY ARMS
AND I FEEL MY FINGER ON YOUR TRIGGER
I KNOW
NOBODY CAN DO ME NO HARM,
BECAUSE

HAPPINESS
IS A WARM GUN MAMMA

<3




although I do prefer Maharishi Sexy Sadie

[GarandMarine]

I just replaced my will and funeral requests with a flash drive tied to a note entitled "Last Requests" the only files on drive are the following songs and the note "Please see the two files on this drive for instructions"

[jwhouk]

As a Beatle fan, I can recognize the White Album as the complete train wreck that it actually is.

It is both a great album and the worst. For the prototypical metal song, "Helter Skelter", there is that abomination known as "Revolution #9."

It is at once both an example of what going beyond boundaries can do, and a reason why you sometimes need to have someone to rein things in.

It is equal parts stunning, goofy, exquisite, inane, insane, exceptional, and excrement.

Four blokes from Liverpool, nicking from the best (as John said at times), going beyond restraints - and, sometimes, beyond what technology is capable of doing. (The Beatles - the proper name for the album - was only partially recorded on eight-track systems.)

I do understand the whole 'there's something on it for everyone' perspective, but so much of it is just filler bullshit that I can't take it seriously. Cut half of it out and you've got probably the best album they ever made.

[Masterpiece]

I wish they had included a Clapton-less version of "While my guitar gently weeps".

[Thrillho]

I wish there was a Clapton-less version of the universe.

[Masterpiece]

Eh, no. I like the Reptile album.
