Send a before-and-after of your weightlifting plan to the INS. Just send Matt Young over there to kick their asses.

I'd still plow Britney. Anyone who says he wouldn't is a goddamned liar.

I'm downloading this even though I wasn't at all serious about wanting to hear YKTR.

Man, I had a number of serious, unironic wank sessions in the late 90s involving Britney Spears. I don't think it's anything to be ashamed of.

Oh, I was hoping that string of images led to a sendspace link of Y Kant Tori Read. I'd gladly give you Pantera's Metal Magic in exchange.

This post was worth the lengthy amount of time I saw KOAB's name italicized at the bottom of the thread.

I'd still fuck her, though that isn't saying much.

Years ago, it was hotly debated amongst my friends whether Tori Amos was sexy, solely based on the way she would grind on her piano stool when playing live. I, alone, voted no.

I like "Cornflake Girl," but don't let that get out. I don't wanna lose cred.

Nice hairline, al. You balding faggot.

Axl Rose will die before this album is released.

Haven't listened to them in years, but I remember thinking they're extremely boring.

I rarely listen to Waits these days, but, if pressed, I'd still cite him as my favorite musician. And Rain Dogs is the best album of ever, no doubt.

Probably Tonight's the Night.

1. Coming home from grocery shopping, finding your roommate and the girl who recently dumped him sitting on the living couch and he, red-faced and crying, and you, with an armful of groceries that at this point you'd be willing to put on the kitchen counter and go to your room until the coast is clear, but you bought a lot of items in need of refrigeration and you don't know how long they're going to be in the living room. 1a) You're not very close with your roommate, and sometimes you kind of don't like him, so you're left wondering how or if you should broach the subject with your roommate later. Minor relief when he brings it up first.

I'm incapable of maintaining the clean-shaven look. I get a five-o-clock shadow within an hour of shaving.

Do you like him as much as I do? Specifically his early-to-mid-70s work. His double album Something/Anything? is in my all-time 20 favorite albums list. Let's talk about Todd Rundgren. King Kamala Classic and I cannot be the only fans here.

"Couldn't I Just Tell You" and "Can We Still Be Friends?" are both favorites to play in bars. Once, after hitting them both up on the jukebox, I got into a heated discussion with a man who felt it necessary to dismiss Rundgren entirely because he, Rundgren, had a hand in raising Liv Tyler.

The two Runt albums; both are fine displays of his off-beat sense of humor with strong songcraft and that he could've been a huge rock star—which clearly didn't interest him, given his tendency to follow wherever his muse took him. I love Something/Anything?'s follow-up, A Wizard, a True Star, which is a fantastically strange and fucked-up cross between concept album and unabashed pop. After that? Todd is good, even if it doesn't balance his weirder side (here represented by a lot of synth prog noodling) with his melodic pop gifts as well as it did on AWATS. Rundgren gets very spotty after that, though there's a handful of gems buried throughout a lot crap. ("Can We Still Be Friends?" is a heartbreaker, and, fuck you, I like "Bang the Drum All Day.")

One of the things I dislike about Soulseek is when it's clear everyone who has the album you're looking for got it from the same source, and that source ripped it at something like a 112 bitrate.

17. Your roommate just doesn't know how to act around girls. He's affable enough, but, eventually, if you have a group of friends over, he will say something terrible to someone, and the someone is almost always female. For example, a few of you begin discussing sex. At one point, your roommate asks a girl who had not been participating in the conversation if she masturbates. It's clear to anyone who witnesses this that the girl is immediately uncomfortable and so your roommate, totally unaware of this, after being told "no," presses on about why she should and he's known women who really like doing it and man, you'd be a fool not to. See also that one time when, for a miraculous stretch of months, your roommate had a girlfriend. It was early in the relationship and you, your roommate and your roommate's gf are having a conversation in the living room. The gf asks about the ex you had over the night before and occasionally still sleep with. The mention of which somehow encourages your roommate to go into detail about the sex he and his girlfriend had last night, specifically how it ended with him shooting off on her tits. He says both "shooting off" and "tits." The girlfriend is momentarily too embarrassed to speak, so it's up to you to yell at him for his transgression, because, really, you didn't care so much about her feelings as you were horrified to hear an explicit recounting of the sex those two had.

14. Your roommate is in the shower. You step into his room to retrieve something he borrowed. You look at his computer and notice he has roughly 40 windows open, all of which containing pornographic pictures. After his shower, you lightheartedly rib your roommate about his wank set-up, to which he curtly replies "so?" This is when you first notice he becomes cold and distant anytime you mention any of his peculiarities in a derisive manner, no matter how good-naturedly. See also the time you went grocery shopping with him, and you poked fun at the almost obsessive way he would stare and calculate which box of garbage bags is the best deal re: price vs. quantity. He mutters "maybe you shouldn't shop with me anymore."

13. Roommate is fully aware you're home, leaves door open anyway while taking a shit. You have to explain that yes, it's okay (sometimes) to leave the door open while peeing, but bowel movements do not fall under the same criteria. You wonder why your roommate thought otherwise, but you realize you don't want to know the answer.

9. Your roommate is paunchy, has hairy back and shoulders. You don't begrudge him this, and you don't even complain that he often walks around the house clad only in boxers. However, he walks into the living room in this state while you have over a girl you're trying to get with. 9a) You tell him that he should put on some clothes whenever there's company, to which he apologizes and complies. Or so you thought, as all he does is put on pants, still exposing his furry, sagging torso to everyone. Having to tell him to put on a shirt without offending him, for as oblivous he may seem, he's very self-conscious about his appearance.
