Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye

They didn't like it here so, since guest viewing is turned off, they had their accounts banned to kill off notions of coming back.

The new board trend is poster euthanasia by request

Where are these from? And what was the deal with that line about the huge fight at the taping?

It's worse than what's in this thread.

If y'all ban DFA, I'll be willing to set my post count back to zero.

Other vehicles I have owned The Mirada (or as we cleverly called it: The Merauder) is still the nicest car in this thread.

Don't have a car so this is a picture of my first ride. This one wasn't mine but it's the same. One of only 5100 to roll of the line.

By quoting the big ass picture in the post directly above yours?

Blame Sunn 0)))

in order to break the 300 point barrier, I needed to correctly answer a Manowar question. This should have been a black metal quiz so I could get like 10 billion points.

Kotz brings pyramid schemes, Metrosexuals, and Spammers to this board. I hope you're happy Kotz, because I damn sure ain't

I take it he had a fairly fragrant crotch area then Banky?

So my brutal and disgusting crotch rot stench that can be smelled from 10 feet away could help me get laid? Fuck I better get moving before the bars close.

What's the deal with the heart icon on all your posts?

Eagan got into it with...APO I belive and after (long after in fact) the fight met it's logical conclusion, Eagan decided to be hard headed and carry it on until he got banned. He came back a while later under a different name, and then was rebanned. He's probably floating around here again. Banky was banned for whatever, then allowed back on after he helped Dames rebuild the arc after the flood.

30000? and where did you find a merchant with that much coin?

This thread should probably be used since the other one is already ruined

On morrowind, I have this dope sword called the Umbra sword and it fucks the shit out of things that are already dead. Ghosts and shit are no match.

omg omg omg I finally have my own pet troll. I'M FINALLY ESTABLISHED~!

I was correct in my guess that using the report button was the proper action to take when I used it against this force of nature when he did his previous thread in HD

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/guide...2437903-9226238 So you've heard of math-rock, right? Don't know what the title means, but would like to know more about it? Do you have a taste for challenging music? Do you have a masochistic streak (in your tastes)? Do you like things that toy with your intellect? Or, do you simply have a taste for the bizarre? If any, or all of these descriptors fit you, you may have come to the right place. Math-rock is something of a sub-genre (mostly found in progressive rock - which in itself is a sub-genre, I believe), and it's earliest attributes could be found in rock artists like Frank Zappa, King Crimson and Rush, though the actual technique may have been found in the earliest forms of classical music (mid to late-European, Indian and ancient African music.) Musicians would get creative with time signatures, and use them in mathematical fashion, or in patterns. They could use any kind of pattern, whether it be ascending (e.g. 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, 7/4,), descending (e.g. 7/4, 6/4, 5/4, 4/4), random (7/4, 4/4, 6/4, 5/4), in equation-like fashion (e.g. 3/4 + 4/4 = 7/4) or playing multiple numbers simultaneously (e.g. polyrhythms - one instrument may play in say, 5/4, while another may play in 4/4 simultaneously.) Whereas in standard (for lack of a better term) music, time signatures usually are limited to one or two, math-rockers will RARELY stay in one or two time signatures within the song, much less stay in a typical time signature: they will usually plow through several, possibly even changing them after only a single bar. Plus, as mentioned above, they will frequently toy with the numbers in patterns: playing one measure in 4/4, then switching to stuff like 5/4, 6/4, 7/4 (witness the pattern: 4, 5, 6 then 7) and etc, etc. It's usually a structured form of music - even though in general, it would sound nonsensical, disjointed and "weird" - especially to someone who doesn't possess much musical knowledge, and/or has not heard anything "mathematical." (Note: some typical time signatures would be 3/4, 4/4, 6/8 and 12/8. Some odd time signatures would be 5/4, 5/8, 6/4, 7/4, 9/8, 11/8 etc.) Math-Rock Embryo In this stage, I'll list a couple of artists (out of possible many others) that employed early forms of mathematical attributes in rock music. Frank Zappa: Certainly one of the most daring, original musicians to push rock into weirder territory. Mathematical example: "Toad of the Short Forest" from WEASELS RIPPED MY FLESH (1970) features two drummers: one drummer playing in 7/8, while the other drummer would be playing in 3/4, while the organ player would be playing a measure in 5/8 - simultaneously. That, of course, is known as a polyrhythm, or polymeter. 'Weasels Ripped My Flesh' King Crimson: Another artist (out of quite a few) to push rock into daring territory. Also one of the first rock bands to use polymeters. Mathematical example: in the title track to RED, the band incorporate meters like 5/8, then 6/8, and possibly a 7/8 later (not to mention a 4/4 as well.) Some albums to check out: 'Red' and 'Discipline: 30th Anniversary Editions' Rush: A band that some referred to as the "original math-rockers." Rush would go through a few transformations in their 30+ year career (not unlike King Crimson). Mathematical example: in "Jacob's Ladder," from PERMANENT WAVES (1980) there is an instrumental section that sounds like it's in 13/8, but it could simply be one measure of 6/8, and one of 7/8 (6+7 = 13.) I'm not sure if it's set up as 13/8, or if it's simply two separate measures of 6 and 7. Some albums to check out: 'A Farewell to Kings' and 'Permanent Waves'. Math-Metal This is probably where it becomes REALLY fun! Heavy artists, employing mathematical techniques into their music? Who knew? Here are some important artists of the math-metal pantheon: Meshuggah: I have to start off with this band, basically because they are my favorite in this heading. Supremely heavy, intense, unique, cerebral and intelligent. Mathematical example: "Closed Eye Visuals" from NOTHING (2002) uses a mathematical equation-like technique that employs multiple time signatures in, and over a designated time signature. This is known as "revolving polymeter" or revolving time signatures. In a few sections, the drummer playing 4/4 (4+4+4+4 = 16 quarter notes), and the rest of the band playing two measures of 5/4, and one of 6/4 (5+5+6 = 16 quarter notes). Albums to check out: 'Destroy Erase Improve', 'Chaosphere' and 'Nothing' Tool: A popular artist that employs mathematical techniques into their hypnotic, vast music. Mathematical example: On "The Grudge," the band plays a riff in 5/8, but later, they double it by playing in 5/4 (5/8 is basically the same signature as a 5/4, but twice it's speed - hence the difference between 4 and 8.) First, they use this polyrhythmically (the guitar riff remains in 5/8, while the bass plays in 5/4), and later, separately (e.g full band plays in 5/4.) In "Lateralis" the chorus moves from a rhythm in 9, then to 8, then to a 7 (employing one for each bar). These aforementioned tracks are from LATERALUS (2001). Albums to check out: 'Aenima' and 'Lateralus'. Mudvayne: "These guys aren't real metal," "These guys are poser metal." Give me a break! Taste is in the eye of the beholder, and it's subjective. I find these guys to be brilliant musicians. Mathematical example: in "Trapped in the Wake of A Dream" the catchy (yes, catchy) chorus is in 17/8 (3+3+3+3+3+2?), while the verses are in 11/8. 17 doesn't necessarily sound as odd as it looks. If you were to say 4/4 was the equivalent of the 8-quarter note count (8 quarter notes = 16 eighths), just add a single eighth (1/8) to it, that's really all it is. To me, it doesn't sound as awkward, as say, an 11/8 rhythm does (at least in this case.)Albums to check out: 'Ld 50' and 'The End of All Things to Come'. Dream Theater: Virtuosic musicians. Everyone knows this already. Mathematical example: in "The Dance of Eternity," off of SCENES FROM A MEMORY (1999), the band plows though numerous time signatures like 13/16, 14/16, 15/16, 17/16 (I believe) and several others. Some albums to check out: 'Awake' and 'Metropolis Part 2: Scenes from a Memory' Other Math-Music Most of these albums I don't own as of yet, but they still may be of interest to others. Fredrik Thordendal’s Special Defects: 'Sol Niger Within, Version 3.33' - the guitarist of Meshuggah gets to experiment with his already weird guitar techniques. If this guy is from Meshuggah, then you already know to expect some mathematics, along with tons of bizarreness. Liquid Tension Experiment: Side project featuring members of Dream Theater and King Crimson. I usually don't have deep interest in hyper-technical music, but, I can like this stuff when I'm in the right mood for it. Albums: 'Liquid Tension Experiment' and 'Liquid Tension Experiment 2'. Dillinger Escape Plan: a mix of hardcore, punk, math and metal? Album: 'Calculating Infinity'. Gorguts: A death/math-metal band. Album: 'Obscura' Planet X: An instrumental album of jazz-fusion and metal, I guess. Album: 'Moon Babies'. May your math-rock experiences be pleasant ones! --------- I think this is about the best description for the music that I've seen, but I'm hardly a font of knowledge since I never got into the whole math thing

Here's about 1/4 of my current collection of cd/mp3

He might not be all that tall if he was behind the counter. A lot of places have the behind counter space elevated so the cashiers can eagle eye shop lifters.

cuz that's my fun day

Sure but he doesn't matter to the arguement about whether or not this guy should have rescued that woman. He'll get his just karma out of this like all the others.
