962

DamnIMissNamm, I didn't see the fucking newspaper. Jesus, you really cluth at straws when somebody says something you disagree with don't you. I wouldn't be overly suprised if you turned out to be racist too, and homophobic.

Wow.... I don't know what cluth means but I will assume it means clutch from the context clues. 962, FACTS are FACTS and you should have at least some of them before you run off with diarrhea of the fingers. As far as the rest of your insult, once again you know nothing about my views on minorities or homosexuals, you have no FACTS to support that statement and personally I would just like to say YOU ARE WRONG. Doesn’t it mean anything to you to damage someone’s character? Why can't you disagree with someone and still show them a little respect?

To reach your level bro... Fornicate off and decease.

cuthert - I've been thinking about the 'freedom' and 'war' question in general.. prompts me to ask a question.. could it be considered that freedom and long term prosperity of you nation are intertwined??? even loosely..??

I think your on to something here, look at the China compared to Hong Kong. I would say freedom and long term prosperity are directly proportional just as current and voltage...( I=E/R)Thank you Mr. Ohms. Where as Opression and LONG TERM prosperity are inversly proportional just look at the old USSR and Cuba.

Michelle- thanks! It's nice of you to say that, it isn't the kind of job where you expect or get much thanks- way too hectic, and really I'm just doing a job.

I read about that Ashley Simpson incident- what exactly happened? Did she just bugger up her miming?

Bahduh- many congratulations!! :-)

OpticalStudio- no problem! When I get paid on Thursday I'm ordering a copy - have spent too much cash this week!! I will look forward to listening to it though. I would appreciate info on that competition as well though, sounds interesting! T-shirts too- I really admire anyone who is out there playing music / recording etc!

Thank God, My tickets just showed up with the UPS man :)

guitarded boy

glad you got your tickets - it is a worry until they are in your hands

Zinc: I tried looking for you and Achoo, but by the time I gathered up the motivation, Joe came on. Also, I didnt want to drag my date around cause I was expecting some action and didnt want to piss off the bitch in her ;) She ended up happy that night and shared it :)

Michelle: The weekend....was perfect! I was happy my bro was not going with me because he 1) once called Joe a pansy guitarist (which made me want to kick his ass) 2) He's older and bossy and would keep me sober so that I should drive his ass around and 3) His girlfriend is an annoying cunt. I got to see Joe 3 times! That was a treat in itself! I got a date whom I had a crush on for around a year (she's a ditz but thats ok. I am not asking for her intelligence.) I had some nice chilled beers (something I had stayed away from for a couple of months), got done with the hardest part of my current research and was with a real fine woman who had no brains whatsover but is a demon in bed (for christ's sake her favorite song is a Mandy Moore one!). So there you have it! The best part was of course Joe! Wouldnt have traded those nights for the world!

Hi: We just enjoyed the wonderful show at the Michigan theatre in Ann Arbor. My first Satch experience was a year ago at the G3 (Palace). I just wanted to say that I also enjoyed the Platinum experience... well worth the money and more than I expected. John made us feel special! First question: are you human?? I wanted to ask you this as you signed my 10 year old's guitar... you are just amazing and very special to us guitar lovers. Keep up your visits, and I will look forward to another show! Second question: I was planning to buy a JS1000, and I friend of mine has the 2000... I played both and didn't feel much of a difference... should I wait and buy the 2000... is there that much of a difference?

DammMissNamm: I can see where 962 is coming from. It may be raw, but its real emotion. You see, America has not had the greatest history in the world. We have had several racial conflicts. When America goes to war, you think the poeple only look at our nationality? They look at race and wealth. Even though Bush may be saying that he is there for freedom, those people interpret it as for racial and economical reasons. And they have the full right to. The common stereotype of Republicans are Redneck, racist, homophobic, ignorant and blindly patriotic (the flag waving type). And if you look at it closely, there is a lot of truth to it. We can have another session of to prove all this. So when people fit the stereotype to a certain extent, you have some name calling. I am not saying you are all of those, but you have come off to me as extremely patriotic, war crazed and someone who fails to look into the negativity of the government they are rallying for. You also told people from other countries to not have a say in American politics. Naturally by this time Simon (962) has made assumptions about your character. Its just natural. You may not be all that he thinks you are but I am sure you get my point. I dont think you are a bad guy, I just dont agree with your politics.

Even Democrats have their stereotypes. Hippie bitches buying shitty long skirts from street vendors, excessive pot smoking, not shaving the southern hemisphere, being excessively PC, playing hacky sack, bad mouthing us metalheads and saying stuff like "how can you even understand that, its all noise!," dreads (eew), getting wasted and talking human rights and peace (f'in hate that when its party time) and the part that pisses me off the most...not practicing anything they preach. One of my friends, who is super anti corporate America, has no problem in buying beers made by Busch and Cheese produced by Kraft. So even liberals/Democrats have their flaws but Republicanism is a more serious one.

Zinc, the Eagles won in overtime 34-31 - squeek!

Suzie, Austin put up a link over the weekend that shows the whole performance...or lack of. Maybe you can search for it, or AUSTIN can post it again. They're showing it on all the morning programs here. I feel bad for her. She really looked silly, ree-hee-healy silly dancing around before she left the stage. At the end of the show when the whole SNL crew and guests are on stage, she looked so embarrassed and blamed the mistake on her band. Her band played on like champs the whole time, but she got flustered and walked off stage. How can she blame the band when she was the one lip-syncing? They were actually playing their instruments...err, at least it looked that way. lol! Anyways, no loss there *waving good-bye to her "career"*

guitarded boy, dude, I was even getting worried! So glad UPS showed up! lol!

Jazzy, I have 3 older sisters. I feel your pain. lol! Glad you had a great weekend. Joe was incredible, wasn't he!

Michelle: I think its the younger MN population! These are just stereotypes that people have come up over the years (there is truth to it in some respects). I know you wouldnt play hacky sack with a hemp bag out in the sun! lmao!

Even though Kerry is amazing, I cannot stand Queen Ketchup.

Bahduh: Congratulations on the "babyboy!" I hope you were not born as a full grown adult! Congrats again! Whats the baby's name?

What the fuck is hacky sack?

Yoda: Hacky Sack is a sport where you kick each other affectionately in the groin area. You hack the "sack."

This is as baseless as your response to the bullshit 962 posted about Crawford Texas backing Kerry. It simply is shallow and reactionary (see a stereotype there?) Crawford Texas is a town of 700 people. In 1999 Laura and George bought a ranch 9 miles out of town and put Crawford on the map. In 2000 a liberal propaganda newspaper started in Crawford. (See any hidden agenda there?) I said people have a right to their opinion where ever they live. They have no right to affect the outcome of American politics.

Thinking is like playing the guitar; the more you do it the better you get at it.

Practice... Practice... Practice.

By the way, I still voted for Gore and also expressed that while I served under Regan I didn't agree with everything he did. I have stated this but you refuse to see past your own narrow stereotypes. That’s the beauty of youth, you can be so misinformed yet people have a tendency to forgive you.

HOW TO STAY YOUNG

Remember, there is no way you can look as bad as that person on your drivers license.

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay them.

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

11. Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things.

An Actual Psycho Test

Read this question, come up with an answer, and then scroll down to the bottom for the result. This is not a trick question. It is as it reads. No one I know has got it right -including me.

A woman, while at the funeral of her own mother, met this guy whom she did not know. She thought this guy was amazing, She believed him to be her dream and she fell in love with him right there but did not ask for his number and no matter how hard she tried she could not find him. A few days later she killed her sister.

Question: What is her motive in killing her sister?

Give this some real thought before you answer.

(Scroll Down)

(Scroll Down)

Answer: She was hoping that the guy would appear at the funeral again.

If you answered this correctly, you think like a psychopath. This was a test by a famous American Psychologist used to test if one has the same mentality as a killer. Many arrested serial killers took part in the test and answered the question correctly.

If you didn't answer the question correctly good for you.

I will be keeping track of all responses and forwarding them to the appropriate authorities. If you do not post your answer, the Thought Police will come in the night.

DammMissNamm How is it possible for another country to affect an outcome just by an opinion? You seemed to go off on the British simply for stating an opinion. Thats what got 962 worked up. It doesnt matter if a town has 700 or 7000 people. If the majority of the town did not endorse Bush, so be it. What has Bush's ranch got to do with this? If the newspaper is liberal and endorsed Kerry, that great. But my main comment was about the stereotypes people build up. You used phrases like "bring it on." Thats a very dangerous statement to bring up to a bunch of terrorists who obviously have nothing to lose. Such mentality (action without thought) is what is bringing some of us to believe that you are a war crazed individual. Bush did not want time to think before the war. He just rushed to the last resort.

Again, I dont think youre a bad guy at all. Just that our first impressions of you seem to be dictating our judgements. You said you support Tony Blair. Great...but do you see the current link between Bush and Blair? Then you back it up by saying you voted for Gore.

Being young or old doesnt have anything to do thinking. Its experience.

Zinc: I was in somewhere on the left side in the middle. I was wearing Navy Blue golf shirt with Khaki pants. My date was wearing a baby blue tank top and black pants. If you think you saw us (drumroll) weeeeeeeee!

My response was that she killed her sister because she was dating the guy whom she was in love with. Does that mean I am a pervert? maybe! lmao!

Cuthbert: Kerry is not Bush! Really, I have become sick of the republican propaganda to back the war. I am tired of people like Karzai being given power and the Saudi's still sitting on the throne. I am sick of the "Freedom for Oil" program....and my hands have become tired of this constant typing.....I think I will retire on the LazyBoy and play with Kiwi.

How is it possible for another country to affect an outcome just by an opinion?

My point exactly, so why give a shit?

Ask your doctor to check your short term memory man, or pass me the Afghani 1!... I just want to get on the same page with you dude.

My "bring it on" comment was (once again) in response to the terrorist that want to affect the outcome of our lives with their opinion i.e.. Jihad, flying planes into buildings......

If the majority of the town did not endorse Bush, so be it. What has Bush's ranch got to do with this? If the newspaper is liberal and endorsed Kerry, that great. But my main comment was about the stereotypes people build up.

This is simply not true. The majority in Crawford have had economic prosperity due to tourism.

Or here for demographics of Crawford Texas

Predominantly white and redneck. I think they are for bush, at least based off of your stereotypes. So how did you and 962 come up with the BASELESS fact that Crawford was for Kerry? 962 stated it and you supported it.....

I would like to give a website with the list of bands in the CHICAGOLAND area. www.chicagolocalbands.com

tell me what you think about them, I think they' re all pretty darn good..especially the band called Elsinore..

If anyone missed the Ashlee Simpson thing, here it is again:

http://www.collegehumor.com/news/ashlee_snl.wmv

How does that relate to the fact that the Republicans supposedly show support polls all the time while Democrats supposedly do not?

The Republicans say Bush is winning, so it's a huge deal when a newspaper read by less than 500 people endorses the other guy? That doesn't say much at all, especially when a larger paper in Kerry's hometown endorsed Bush. I don't see your connection, and I think both endorsements should be non-issues.

"Again, I always find you criticising the Dems."

Read my post again and you will notice that I mentioned Bush / Lowell AND acknowledged the Kerry / Crawford thing brought up by 962.

"Are you sure you're not voting Republican?"

I've already told you I'm not. Would you like me to tell you again after I fill out my absentee ballot this afternoon?

"If the majority of the town did not endorse Bush, so be it."

That is completely incorrect.

The majority of the town does in fact support Bush. The editor of the newspaper does not. As an editor, he can say his newspaper endorses the candidate of his choosing. It does not mean the town supports that endorsement. It just means he supports it.

Do you have a link? I did another Google News search this morning and I can't find anything.

The clip I posted was the start of the second of two songs on SNL. To start the second song, someone (the sound guy, the drummer, or...?) incorrectly played the audio tape for the first song. The band was confused for a few seconds (after all, they were supposed to play a different song), but they caught on to the mistake and played along with it... Ashlee was completely lost, however. She didn't try to sing, but the vocals from the tape played anyway.

Fanfire probably doesn't get the tickets from the venue or from the promoter until the last minute.

Basically, you get a group of people and stand in a circle. You hit the sack back and forth from person to person without using your hands...you can use your feet, knees, head, shoulder, elbow, etc. It's similar to the drill that soccer (football) players do to warm up, only it doesn't use that huge ball. ;-)

Clarky, yeah I got the "bush getting me killed" thing.

And yeah the mongols and the romans met. Rome invested a quarter of it's enitre army in Britain, and had to keep all those troops here in their attempt to overthrow the barbarians (the Britons). Keeping all those troops here for years at a time became very expensive.

While this was going on, small handfulls of Mongols were entering the Roman empire from the east. On occasion, there would be a brief skirmish, but word quickly spread to rome that the Mongols were viscous, horrifying warriors with great strength and bravery, so the Romans paid them to leave Rome alone.

This was cool with the mongols cause they didn't really give a shit about the land - they realised they could rinse the romans for a whole lot of hard cash in gold, so they'd come visit every couple of months and the Romans, right on cue, would pay them to go back to Mongolia.

The cost of paying off the Mongols actually became so high that Rome had to start to withdraw legions of troops from Britannia, and as this happened, it was enough of a shift in our favour that we were able to beat them into submission, which is when they gave up and ran screaming back to Rome.

Also, I said "I wouldn't be overly surprised if...". I didn't say "you are...", and if you can't tell the difference between the two then you need to go back to school man! At no point have I actually said that I reckon you're racist and homophobic, because you have said nothing that indicates these traits - I'm just saying that, judging by your attitude, and the way you deal with people who, god forbid, have a different opinion to yours, that you're the sort of simple person who feels hostility to anybody whose skin is a funny colour, or who looks at men like a rural loner might look at their dog.

Fornicate off and decease? god that's low. I mean pathetic. This is the only time that I won't be ignoring you - I don't pay much attention to bullshitters.
