Ok, that's really fucking cool. Definitely worth a pants-creaming I'd say.

My gifts so far(won't see my parents until 3 January): Clothes A book on the history of Jazz some Charlie Parker Slanted and Enchanted- Pavement A bottle of Tullamore Dew Irish whiskey

I haven't actually recieved all of my gifts, as I won't see my parents until next Saturday. But what I got fom my aunt and cousins was nice. The best gift I got so far was a book on the history of Jazz, which I love already. The best gift I gave was a poem that I wrote for my cousin Rachael. We've been through alot together, and I wrote from the heart about all we've been through. She cried when she read it, and after that, I didn't even need a "Thank you" or anything of the sort. Her tears said enough.

Nice work on your buddy's part, JAxl. Why not do both? Drink half for Christmas and half for New Year's? Black Bush is fantastic stuff, though I'll always prefer Jameson's.

"Truth"- Devin Townsend

The best/funniest/most disgusting fart is one that can clear a room, which I've only seen happen three times, twice of which were when I was in high school.

I have a grievance. I have to stay home today and do Christmas baking. I've never baked anything in my fucking life, but my aunt put me on cookie/cake/nutroll detail. Fuck. **pins Kotz**

I'm not even sure that McMAsters is an actual Irish whiskey, it may just have an Irish name and recipe, like Killian's. You should be able to find it at your local liquor store.

"Black Math"- The White Stripes

Hell yeah, there is not a Rock/Metal band of the last ten years that cannot say they haven't been influenced by Patton & Faith No More. Mine hasn't. So there. Well, aren't we Mr. Cool? It's so true about Patton and Faith No More. If not for them, the Rap-Rock trend of a couple years back may not have blow up. When FNM came out, they were a completely different sound than ANYTHING that was popular at the time. PLus, Patton's vocal talents are off-the-charts. There is nothing the man can't do, which is why my sig reads what it does.

While I'd also love to see Caputo be himself, seeing the orignal LOA lineup trumps just Keith. I saw them during the short period with Whitfield Crane as vocalist and it just wasn't the same.

Well it has to be some form of Irish Whiskey, Jameson, Bushmills, Black Bush, etc. True, you can use any kind of Irish whiskey, but a Carbomb is best with Jameson's. The Jameson's gives it that distinct taste. I once had a bartender try to give me a Carbomb with McMasters. I wanted to punch him, as the Jameson's was RIGHT NEXT to the bottle of shitty whiskey.

I'm a fan of Rupplemintz as well. Goldschlager is always a good choice(if you're me anyway). I'm also a fan of vanilla schnapps.

Congratulations on the passing marks. I wish I could say the same for my grades this semester, but I can't. Once I realized that the music program at West Liberty sucks, I lost all my motivation and stopped going to class. My GPA was at a Blutarski level. No worries though, as once I get my history classes, nothing lower than a 3.5 will be acceptable.

My year was pretty good. I left Chicago to come back to the Ohio Valley and attend college (after a 41/2 year break from school). I got a decent job that I enjoy and am good at. I've spent alot of time with family that I haven't seen in quite some time. I also finally got to see Flogging Molly play live, which made my year. The only low point was me being stupid and choosing Music Ed as a major at school, which was no fun, so I switched. Overall, I give my year ****1/2

Now, don't forget about Mother Love Bone or The Melvins.

Every time I mention Queen to anyone I know, all they ever say is "That's guy was a fag. They suck." I hate people. That's probably one of the worst problems with modern people who have narrow-minded outlooks on music. "Mercury? Prince? Bowie?" Even if the last two aren't even gay, all I get is a "FAG." I mean, hell, 80% of Prince's lyrics revolve around fucking women in every way imaginable, but also, he's just damn good. Geh... and same with some bands like Blondie, or even the Pretenders on occassion. "Oh, that band's for girls." Some of you may think this one to be a little farefetched, but people have actually said that to me. God, some people just need to be dropped into a vat of acid or something. Seriously. Ya know, I've tried telling people exactly what you said about Prnce and all they still say "But look at him. He's a fag." Nevermind the fact that the guy is a GENIUS and plays about 40 different instruments well. The stuff I hear about Blondie from the idiot kids these days is "Weren't they a Disco group?" Then I just walk away and hang my head.

"Root Down"- Beastie Boys

"Thorn In My Pride"- The Black Crowes

Probably because he helped re-invent the Rap genre, along with Ice-T. They brought the hardcore, in-your-face style of Gangsta Rap to the masses in the late 80s and early 90s. Dre's also a great producer, as shown in his work with Snoop and Eminem.

Since you included "Hangar 18", I think it's only fitting to throw "Return to Hanagar" off of The World Needs a Hero on there. That, and "Dread and the Fugitive Mind." Where's "The Mechanix?"

It's because of their flapping heads and beadie eyes. That's why they look like they have two faces.

"Gremmie Out of Control"- Pearl Jam BAR, have you heard the wonder that is "Opel?" I'm sure you have, but if not, check it out. I think it SMOKES anything Barrett did post-Floyd.
