>rofl< Tommy for some reason you strike me as one of those pseudo-intellectual post punk elitists. K? So? Wait there really wasn't a point to this thread, not like I was trying to pull off a "great revealing" otherwise known as an Apocalypse. It was just random bullshit, like the rest of my posts. though there may be some actual content in some of the things I've said, and that may or may not be intentional.
If you want a good definition of a chaotic person, that would be me. G'Day, wait you're scottish not Australian >shrugs< oh well. As for the rest of you for your Burn Maim Destroy comments. Congratulations, welcome to my humble abode.

BURN IT TO THE GROUND MODS.
PLEASE.
IF YOU NEED ME TO I WILL JUST START POSTING PICTURES OF DICKS OR SOMETHING.
JUST MAKE IT STOP.

No, really?

I guess if you look at this from the same perspective as '5000 monkeys may eventually type the complete works of Shakespeare'

PLEASE GIVE ME ATTENTION I AM SO LONELY
Shit, I keep falling for it.

I'm not attention hungry. It just amuses me sometimes. The main reason I'm still posting here is because I haven't fixed my mouse totally yet, and trust me scrimming with a freezing mouse is >NOT< a good way to enjoy a game.

OH MAN HOW UNFORTUNATE.
YOU'RE FORCED TO FORUMATE WITH NERDS LIKE US.
WHEN YOU COULD BE WOW-ING LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER.

In this case, yes.

Tommy, I myself would be willing to submit that you are indeed an intellectual, mainly because I am an intellectual, or so says every teacher I've ever had, and you seem to be on or above my level of intellect. However, your point is quite clear.
-
What makes you elitist is that I have only seen you dismiss a band in an off-handed fashion. Almost as if your tastes are the only ones that count. I will agree with you for the most part about probably 60% of the bands you dismiss....and I said "For some reason:" then the other statement. I didn't say you were, I said you struck me as. Now being that that comment the way it was worded could only be taken as a vauge comment towards your demeanor. It is not insulting, just like telling someone they are a purist for drinking black coffee....

STILL.

Tommy hates most of the bands that I love (which, unfortunatly, are similar to the bands that you love). And yet, you don't see us constantly fighting. There is a perfectly logical reason for this and it is that I am not bat-shit fucking crazy, and a complete and utter prat.
-
I dunno. I listened to Solid Gold again. It was okay, I could dig it, but there are a lot of other albums from around the same period I would rather listen to.
But uh, yeah, notwithstanding that your point is pretty much dead on. Same with you, Hat. Excellent job all around.
Really, I think this thread should be about convincing me to enjoy Gang of Four.
-
I was kind of hoping we could make it about "An Ass Pocket Full of Whiskey" by R.L. Burnside, but you know, whatever, I have time.
-
This thread is now about how great Scrubs is.
I should seriously tell my relatives to just buy all of the DVDs so I could watch it whenever I want.
-
I think the best episode was the one with Christopher Meloni as the child doctor.
I kept imagining him just grabbing Cox and slamming him into a table and telling him he was a sick bastard, and as much as I like Dr Cox, it is a miracle that still has not happened.

I'm pretty sure that's why Jesus invented the internet.

Dude, come on. Toilet on the roof. That's easily the best one.

Pretty much anytime The Todd opens his mouth.

It's A Ass Pocket... isn't it?
Also R.L. Burnside's best song to my ears is "Stole My Check." What an awesome tune.
-
Yeah, I know, but I just can't bring myself to type out the actual title when its so annoying to pronounce.
-
How Perry Como of you.

Hey! I decide what this thread is I created it....Jethro Tull is the greatest band ever. Fuck you all I win, you shit dribbling cock suckers.

I have never been a member of the Communist party. And I also have never watched Scrubs. I neither want to watch entire seasons of Scrubs on DVD, nor do I even want to accidentally see a few seconds of it when flipping around the TV. People I trust explicitly have assured me it is one of the least funny shows ever, and since I don't think Zach Braff is funny in the least bit, I think I can live happily forever knowing I never watched Scrubs. Or was a member of the Communist party.
-

Pssht...shows how much you know. Al Gore invented the intartubes, and he's not Jesus!
YOU'RE NOT TRYING TO SAY AL GORE IS JESUS ARE YOU?!?!?!

What if I am?

People you trust explicitly? Most of my trust is only implied.

Indeed. There is some video of the show they played that that photo was taken at. Their performance of "My God" was truly bitchin' awesome.

My trust in said people is explicit. I have said out loud to them "well, I trust you" when they either talked me into or out of things. I think that's explicit, no?? It certainly isn't implied trust.

How Perry Como of you.
HEY NOW IVE GOT SOME ADVICE FOR YOU LITTLE BUDDY.
BEFORE YOU POINT YOUR FINGER YOU SHOULD REALIZE I DONT ACTUALLY KNOW WHO PERRY COMO IS.
SOMETHING SOMETHING SOMETHING YEAH FUCK YOU BUDDY.
Actually, for a minute I thought you were talking about the editor of the Daily Planet, and I was going to say that I was more of a J. Jonah Jameson man myself, and I am very glad I restrained from doing that, to look it up on wikipedia.

I fucked up anyways. I meant Pat Boone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Boone), a crooner who early in his career covered black musicians' songs for white audiences, "paling" them in the process.
Born in Jacksonville, Florida, USA, Boone is a direct descendant of the American pioneer Daniel Boone. He grew up in Nashville, Tennessee, attended David Lipscomb College and began recording in 1954 for Republic Records. His 1955 version of "Ain't That a Shame" was a hit, selling far better than Fats Domino's original version. This set the stage for the early part of Boone's career, which focused on covering R&B songs by black artists for a white market. Previously, rock 'n' roll had had only limited exposure outside of the African American community. Pat Boone's pale covers gave attention to the more authentic original artists as Little Richard and Fats Domino, and to rhythm and blues in general. In addition, the songwriters and copyright holders benefited even when individual artists did not.
Which neatly skirts around the fact that, essentially, what he did was a dick move.
-
See, I never really figured replacing "An" with "A" a decent slang term anyhow, because an is just an easier way to lead into words starting with vowels. If anything, I figured it would be more likely colloquial black language back in those days would use an, seeing as to use a, you have to start and stop, making you sound like a prim and proper yankton cocksucker, whereas less proper language loves a good drawl.
But then again, I know fuck all about the blues.
-
Your explanation makes a lot of sense, although it doesn't account for the stereotypical poorly-educated blues player, an archetype which Burnside was probably playing to.
Anyways, the Pat Boone thing was an allusion to the recording industry legend relating to Boone's cover of Fats Domino's "Ain't That A Shame." Boone, so the story goes, was a college-educated man and thus appalled at the terrible grammar in Domino's tune. He refused to sing it on those grounds. The suggestion that the lyrics be changed to "Isn't that a shame" was eventually coaxed out of him, at which point his handlers realized they had to talk him out of it. The song was eventually recorded as written, just... whiter. The story, however, has gone down in some of the more forgotten annals of music history.

C'mon Johnny, only forty more posts and you reach 5000! You can do it! I believe in you so hard!

FireStarter just got hisself banned for a month.
We'll see if he comes back.

And then later covered a bunch of metal songs. Oh god that was the funniest thing ever.

Love me long time.

What was that album called? No More Mr. Nice Guy?
-
Ricky Nelson would destroy Pat Boone in a boxing match.
-
Johnny is a post machine.

Yep, that was it. Hilariously awful...and my brain is STILL holding a grudge against me for having listened to that album in its entirety...
-
Johnny is a post maschine.
maschine maschine maschine maschine maschiiiine..
-
kallisti, stop! you're making my brain cry.
-
I think Pat Boone's album of metal covers is actually called In A Metal Mood./ I wouldn't swear to it, because I've never actually listened to it. If anybody does somehow have it, then please, please yousendit. I need to hear it.
-
As it happens, we're both right (http://www.amazon.com/Metal-Mood-More-Mr-Nice/dp/B000005KOE).
-
Funny thing is, I tried to see if I could find any of the songs off that album just to see how hilariously bad it was. I found Holy Diver.
Unfortunately, it passed beyond the realm of semi-intentional comedy and into realms of awful I had no idea even existed until this point.
-
Is this thread still kicking?? Can't we all just walk away from it like you would the scene of a car accident involving retards?? Sure, at first you HAVE to look, but then you feel horrible for being so interested and you make an oath to yourself that you will never think about it again, let alone bring it up to your family, friends, and loved ones.
Can't we do that with this thread??
-
Before you pass judgment, you should probably notice that this has basically become a totally different thread in FireStarter's absence, one which might actually have some merit.
-
kallisti, stop! you're making my brain cry.
aw, do you have something against kraftwerk? so sad.
-
Teresias is unfun fun fun on the autobahn.
-
i hate fun.
-
tsk tsk. so young, so full of promise...
-
wait... kallisti is now mocking me? My last vestiges of pride have just blown off into the sunset.
-
funny thing, life.
-
aye.
