Inc is exempt from having to follow the rules. Don't you know anything?

Is that a command?

Hmmm...you look so good when you talk forcefully.

A) He's a recovering alcoholic. If you don't like him, that's fine, but at least respect the man for his attempt to clean his life up. B) Shut it, newbie.

Wrong. After the success of Nirvana, it became, for better or worse (usually the latter), okay for mainstream music to have sad/angry/depressing lyrics. Without Nirvana's ascent into popularity--and Cobain's ensuing icon status--the airwaves wouldn't be glutted with all this nü metal bullshit. All that crap you hear on FM rock radio is thanks to Nirvana. And, to a lesser extent, emo. Personally, I despise Cobain as a musician, but you cannot deny that he has become an icon in the musical world ever since he killed himself. However, Rolling Stone placing him near the top of EVERY list that they make is asinine. For example, 100 greatest guitarists of all-time...Cobain is number 17, Angus Young is number 96. Kurt Cobain is a greater guitarist than Angus Fucking Young? No, but Young hasn't killed himself, so he isn't nearly as popular. You hit the nail right on the head. Cobain is the posterboy for every one of those "look at me, I'm different" kids.

commercial will do that to you.

...You've smoked pot before, right? It expands your mind, enabling you to become more creative. Try it right before you have to write a paper or something.

why is Paul McCartney not number 2 then? Touche. I REALLY don't get all of the Beatle's love that floats around. Everyone creams their pants over them, but they just strike me as the first boyband. And, stolen from the thread about Dylan's influence, Bob Dylan got the Beatles to start smoking pot, directly influencing their music, rendering him more important. Without Dylan, the Beatles wouldn't have become what they became. And Tori Amos? What the fuck? Writing bad poetry and warbling at a piano is consideration for being important now? Where's Graham Parsons? Where's Elton John?

Trapt was playing at a local music festival, and they kept fucking up horribly. Their lead singer was climbing all over the speakers, slipped off, got pissed, went back to the center of the stage, stepped in the wrong spot, causing a shitload of reverb from his standing on the main speaker with a wireless microphone, and was booed off of the stage. It was great.

You're not an alcoholic, you cocksmith. You're right, I don't attend meetings so that just makes me a drunk that can handle his aclohol intake. So...you have a disorder where you have a dependency on alcohol? That leads to both psychological and physical harm? And you go to meetings? But you still find time to post...and bitch....needlessly... on this board? Well, congratulations, son, you're a functioning alcoholic. But if you really want to think about it, we're all functioning alcholics. "I'm not an alcoholic...an alcoholic wakes up in the morning and NEEDS to drink. I wake up in the morning and WANT to drink. There's a difference."

You're not an alcoholic, you cocksmith.

He could have easily gone through the main gate, but instead he tried to BITE THROUGH AN ELECTRIC FENCE. I don't care if you're four, if you touch something and it shocks you, you pull away from it, you don't try to gnaw through it. It was designed to deliver a nonlethal shock, and it killed him. Nonlethal....so how fucking hard did he have to try to get through that fence? Again, if you touch something that's hot, your immediate reaction is to jerk your hand away. Ignoring your built-in responses, regardless of age, is funny.

...it's a Mormon college. Drunk mormons? Doesn't happen.

The president of the company I work for is a piece of trailer trash that somehow managed to become insanely rich, yet keep his trash-ness. He goes around bragging to everyone that people tell him that he, "looks like one of the Quaid brothers". ...guess which one. This movie will be unintentionally hilarious.

Dey's a flamin'! Dey's a flamin' in da movie foldah~! RRR....that was the most hilarious thing I've read in a long-ass time. You rule.

Maiden by a landslide. Dance of Death is better than 80% of all other releases this year.

You just have to enter the network name as the local domain...there's a way to do it, but it's been ages since I've actually done it.

My mom is moving to California for two months to become a Bikram yoga instructor. Essentially, it's yoga...in a room that's been heated to about 105-110 degrees. She talked me into going to class with her once...and I nearly died. I wore a grey shirt there, and it was black when the class was over. Apparently, I showed up to the class where it was two hours, as opposed to an hour and a half. She's been going for over a year now, and she's lost around 20 pounds, without changing her eating habits in the slightest, plus, she's getting pretty cut. But be warned: all she ever wants to talk about now is yoga...if you're going to get into it deep, it's not just a hobby, it's a lifestyle.

There's the funny parts.

....... Kotz, there's a topic that you need to read. Forgive me if I'm wrong...but isn't she OLD? Who would want fashion advice from an old woman?

Uh, you're scaring me, Sir. Don't look at me like that... Should I stop petting JSYK too? Nah, last time you stopped he humped a whole through my Ficus plant. And I won't even tell you what he did to your shoes... Hey, that's his own damn fault for leaving those shoes where I could reach them.

Thank you. A real answer, finally.

Happy Birthday, Zack! You should ban Eagan again to celebrate.

I thought that garage rockers were rowdy and liked to fight.....or was that Russell Crowe? I have a really hard time picturing Jack White beating the shit out of someone, though. A REALLY hard time.
