    The L-A-Z 6000th Post Spectacular

    How long has it been now that post counts have been frozen in Hardcore Discussion?

    The solution is an ombudsman!

    Bah, we need a mod from a different time zone altogether, like from Australia or something. Someone who has been at this board at least from its beginnings. Someone with no avatar or signature, because then we'd know they'd be a no BS kind of mod. But who can we get to fit this description? Nonetheless, I nominate that person into the position.

    WTF? Banky gone

    Damaramu, I have no idea what the hell you are saying in this thread. You're being awfully confusing and constantly contradicting yourself. It's embarassing.

    WTF? Banky gone

    Being a group called "Banned" was FrigidSoul's idea quite some time ago. This is quite unexpected. And sadly, though I never had much to do with him, Banky had somewhat grown on me. I thought he was okay. Though at this stage I don't see what he could have done banworthy, there have been times long ago when I would have thought it would be more likely.

    I've been posting here for 2 years?

    Yeah so do I, I rarely posted there though. I remember you from there though, for some strange reason, despite your lowish post count. And Lil Naitch I, too, remember reaching 200 posts only for that to be taken from me, gosh darn it. But hey, I'm at 7 million now, so I can't complain much.

    Say it ain't so. This is one of my favorites. Though I do think I prefer the non-Collection versions of most of the songs. Eh, it's my least favourite 80s Madonna song on that album. It's probably a harsher mark than it deserves, but I couldn't feel right putting it equal to Lucky Star or Rescue Me. True Blue is her worst period, aside from American Life.

    What are you listening to right now?

    Dusty Springfield - Anyone With A Heart An absolutely amazing song. I love her so much.
  9. I hate you. That was the best film of 2003. I don't want to get into it to much, because it's a long time since I saw it, but I hate that it gets as many negative reviews as it does. It's not racist. It's not plotless. It's just subtle. If you go into it expecting something more character-driven, I think you'll appreciate the beauty in it a bit more. Great movie.

    I May Have to Hang Myself

    So you extended your lead further by posting this? Now alkeiper has to post another four times to knock you off. You're not a practical man, are you?

    FrigidSoul

    Yes, the fact that it says the post was deleted at the same time for all of us despite the fact that those of us in different time zones would get different times for that message says to me that something is up. Also, I think the following: would probably equal a ban if it were in fact real. This forum's rules on racism have always equaled fairly heavy consequences, and I think were this real that would have incited a ban. It's a work.

    Recent Purchases

    Yesterday: I have a pretty good collection of Springsteen albums (he or The Beatles would have the more albums, depending on what I most recently bought), and this is definitely one of the best. Amazingly mellow, just generally a great album. Today: As the person behind the counter was snickering at me, I felt the need to prove my manhood so also got with it because they were playing their live album and this shop has a special deal that in the duration of them playing an artist's specific album you can get anything of their's for half price. Anyway, all three are incredibly worthwhile albums.

    Regarding Name Changes

    My God you're terrible. And Graycloud. You've been here two and a half years and only have 110 posts? I managed to reach that in one year. Get to it!

    Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle

    I can't believe I'm going to say this but: I would not refuse to see this film.

    My Dad's gonna get shot in South Africa

    Summer in Hobart. Is that a max of 25 degrees then? Actually, has it ever broken 30 down there?

    How worse can a film get than Baby Geniuses?

    Halle Berry puts out bad movies. No actual period is needed to exemplify this. Worst Actor/Actres to win an Oscar in recent memory.

    Scott Keith quits

    Bleh, they'll probably still be on his live journal, just not on 411.

    Yeah, looking at my list over I'd put it up to 9 and Old Man up to 8. Heart Of Gold is great, but I think it's the overplayedness that has lowered it on my list for me. And, though it's been done before, I'll add my own opinion on the matter: Prince - Purple Rain (1984) 1. Let's Go Crazy - 10 2. Take Me With U - 10 3. The Beautiful Ones - 10 4. Computer Blue - 10 5. Darling Nikki - 10 6. When Doves Cry - 10 7. I Would Die 4 U - 9 8. Baby I'm A Star - 9 9. Purple Rain - 10

    The Official What I think You Look Like

    I'm from Sydney. I've been to SA twice. I don't think I would go again by choice (in fact, I've been everywhere bar Tasmania). But yeah, when I've gone overseas people think New Zealander, Pom, American etc. I guess I don't really have an accent at all.

    I love Nightswimming, but Everybody Hurts is the greatest song of the 90s. Because I am constantly nitpicking rather than contributing, I'll just pick whatever album I'm listening to. Neil Young - Harvest (1972) 1. Out On The Weekend - 7 2. Harvest - 9 3. A Man Needs A Maid - 10 4. Heart Of Gold - 8 5. Are You Ready For The Country? - 6 6. Old Man - 7 7. There's A World - 10 8. Alabama - 6 9. The Needle And The Damage Done - 10 10. Words (Between The Lines Of Age) - 7

    The fact that you had a number of other songs on this album as being a 10 but not this negates your taste altogether. Best Dylan song ever. Maybe.
