i envisioned a homer simpson type character running down a barely lit street with his tongue hanging out and pitching the biggest tent any one has ever seen!
THIS line alone made you the baddest motherfucker EVER. [laugh]

[quote]You, sir, are brilliant. Seriously. Pope Seig Heil or whatever his name is should consider you for sainthood.
Man… it’s always the English teachers and the skill trades teachers who seem to have any idea what’s going ON in the world…[/reply]

And I dig you, as well… EVEN though you hate “Dream Song.”
hahaha! wow, you have a nice memory.
Hahahaha.
Hoo-boy - if I were to enlighten you to the fun you can have in my town with the overweight red headed kid with box framed glasses who runs the local music site you would not believe the shit I’d tell you. How do I describe this guy? Let’s see. Y’know the kind. Late 20’s early 30’s. The somatype is one you’ll recognize. Kinda like a more well groomed Harry Knowles. Large, soft, no straight lines, very rounded. A lover of calories. Quintessential Pillsbury doughboy. Weak mouth. Favorite band is the Decemberists or Smashing Pumpkins and Andrew Bird. Alert. Very sensitive. And I usually have to confront him after I’ve done my bit on my former self styled Teddy boy co-worker’s retro garage punk rawk band ( just what the world needs more of right? ) with whom I’ve had a number of crossings ( they occassionally cook up my ICQ # whatever that is - and send their pet lesbian pidgeon out to to hunt me down at a local suburban library where my friend works to do I dunno what. So when I start to do my thing on this forum and express my opinions this big soft thing usually leaps up and usually with tears in his eyes hysterically starts reading off the site rules and the riot act and the patriot act and the Decalration of Indepe - you get the idea. "These bands fucken rule! Whad do you know about anyhting yer not even in a local band!!! Yer just jealous!!! This is usually followed by exeunt trembling or his fiancee who co-mods backing him up. God knows how I envy her. She can wear size 16 and a crotch wedgie soooo much better than me. They are supposed to be getting married this summer or some shit. All my accounts have been deactivated because I don’t know how to be less blunt or more reasonable. Being unreasonable or candid is not popular here. Doesn’t matter tho. No amount of banning from these forums have diminished my lust for a good debate, fierce convo, or flame war.
Ibsen said, “To live is to war with trolls.”
Amen.
The most potent weapon you have on a forum in the ongoing conflict of opinions be they good, bad, stupid, keen, razor sharp, silly, whadever, is the anger generated by the need to impart a personal point of view.
It is the most crippling, enfeebling, destructive and potentially berzerk weapon in the human arsenal. Directed intelligently, coolly, constructively, it brings a balance to any community, forum, local scene, the universe etc. It redresses wrongs, prevents ulcers, and helps one maintain a self respect. Allowed to run amuck it can destroy those at whom it’s aimed and like a rifle clogged with dirt can blow up in the face of the trigger man.
I saw a study several years ago that showed that peeps who are grouchy and pugnacious often survive to a ripe old age. The groups that lasted the longest had nine traits in common:high activity, aggression, narcissitic body images ( where’s Sami? ) authoritarian personalities, high status drive, distrust of others, disregard for others p.o.v., a tendency to blame others and a resistance to blaming themselves ( Jourgensen ).
En somme, a compendium of those qualities we are told are most loathsome. Angry, cantankerous, impossible to be with, the sort of people who make your hair stand on end or blood turn cold…but determined to live their lives.
Maybe it’s true: the good die young.
in any event, without a familiarity of these essentials, no lover of modern internet discussions dare call himself living life to the fullest.
I’ll see if I can dig up some old city flame wars from 2005-06. I once enraged the president of the metro art museum here. That one was legendary. I think you’d like them. Oh, how I do love to dramatize these encounters.
Is this a manifesto? I can’t be bothered to read it.
Wow thanks for including me in your post. I’m glad I exposed you to something that wasn’t my penis.
I like this board because there are a smaller group of regulars and the conversations are interesting.
I just got banned from Litany (again). What a bunch of uptight pricks!

Heheh… it’s not a problem. Although your penis would’ve made for some GREAT stories to tell the grandkids…
Nah, but seriously. The Nursing Home Band is wretched in a delightfully twisted way. I dig it. And your love of “full-figured” women reminds me of the neighbor kid next door: some eighteen-year-old construction worker who lives by the code of “No sharp edges, more cushion for the pushin’.”
Love it.
Hmmmm.
Is your neighbor married to Mooney?
Ba-dum-TSCHHH!!!
