I was always afraid of being boring, but I've now realized that that will never happen, and if it did, I'd welcome it. In a non-cosmic sense, I'm afraid of bees, wasps and other stinging insects.

Posters in my squad? Brody would make a great character in a war movie. EHME would be a good character. You could be the black guy. I think Agent might be good... midwest outdoorsman, good with firearms, taken a lot of hallucinogens. And... Matt Young. Matt fuckin' Young. More like Apocalypse Now, for sure. My favorite Nam movie though: Deer Hunter.

You're cooking what for dinner?

It's a long holiday weekend, I wouldn't worry about it. All of the drafts are moving slow now. Anyway... B.G.

I appreciate their talent, but I'm not a particularly big fan. Not that I never listen to them, and "Good Vibrations" and "Sloop John B" are my favorite songs of theirs. I've got no problem with them. Not many, really. My dad has really great taste in music, he just quit listening to it because of his religious beliefs (not in a "music is sin" way, but he became disinterested). But the music he likes is a highlight reel of late 60s, early 70s rock. I did go through a brief phase where I was into disco, and he didn't particularly enjoy that. I don't much care for disco anymore, although the Bee Gees are a good band. I actually feel very similar to them as I feel about the Beach Boys. My mom was never very particular. She didn't hate much of anything. Her favorite bands were/are Uriah Heep, REO Speedwagon, George Thorogood and such. Inoffensive. Neither of my parents are particularly musically opinionated.

That's why I asked what the fuck was wrong with you. You were talking to me like I wasn't Milky or something.

I'd like to know how you find these donkey shows. I'm not going to Mexico any time soon, but I'd like to know for future reference.

If you had been on a tour of duty in 'Nam would you have raped a villager? Sure would have. I'm pretty amoral, really, I only use morals as shorthand for preferences. Not that I'm not a nice guy, it's just a matter of philosophy. I'm genuinely nihilistic, not as a matter of convenience, but simply as a realist. I've often said that I would have loved being in Nam. Hey, Czech should merge this thread and the other one that asks me questions. A nice, concise 'Dear Milky'.

It's actually Geoffrey, though. That's why Will called him "G".

Heavy Metal and subgenre description

Yeah, you were. Irony in the fact that Eminem hates techno, yet is from Detroit? Christ... -

From the band Jonbenet Ramsey, DJ Downey Syndro: Clearly your kindred spirit, Brody.

That's fine, as I much prefer Funkadelic anyway (Maggot Brain and all). (Thank you, by the way, for actually looking into it.)

They meant the 50s, not the 1950s... "Do yoooooou remember the 50s, when emperor Claudius di-ied? The Apostle Paul, traveled to Greece, and..."

I think I've made a pretty convincing case to either allow P-Funk or get Sly Stone thrown out too... let's hurry up and decide before I get screwed out of more picks.

Season 4, Episode 8 - New Kid On the Block
-
Season 9, Episode 16 - Dumbbell Indemnity I was going to draft this several rounds ago; I guess I somehow forgot. Good thing it's still here, then. This is a shit-hot episode for my favorite character, Moe, with solid Homer support. "Quit saying Hawaii in there!"

I contend that Parliament-Funkadelic are indeed a rock band, as evidenced not only by their inclusion in the rock and roll hall of fame, but in the loose definition of rock music in the first place. Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five didn't play instruments, neither did Aretha Franklin, nor was she in a band. P-Funk fit both of those criteria, and additionally are listed on allmusic as Psychedelic and Hard Rock. Their umbrella genre is, if anything, Rhythm and Blues, which is a form of/prototypical rock music. Reggae isn't. If anything, the pick of Sly and the Family Stone is what made me choose Parliament-Funkadelic. They're exactly the same genre.

That's a lot like my situation, but the difference is for me it's true.
