The lunatics, as the fellow says, are on the grass.

The cat, it can be assessed, is out of the bag.

Dinner is served, but there is no-one there to eat it. The sprouts are tough and the gravy is tepid. The beer has lost its fizz and a fly died in the cabernet.

Posted by: kafkaesque on July 9, 2002 12:54 PM

k, that makes me recall an ad I saw in the local underground newspaper many years ago that went something like this:

"Toy paddle, womper-woof, and dustbuster. We've lost the filling station and sold your forks."

That is all.

Wow, I've never read about those sort of songs before. The ones you neither like or dislike because they go deeper than that. If I had to choose one, along the line's you've suggested, it would be Sinatra's Cahn/van Heusen-penned "Love and Marriage". I never liked it, though I love Sinatra, but you couldn't take it away from me. I was about six when I started hearing it too.What can you call this kind of song?

*sorry for the serious interval!*

Posted by: Miguel on July 9, 2002 01:52 PM

The evil songs I love to hate? Anything by Journey. Ask my woman. I have this delusion that every single Journey song contains the phrase "Born and raised in South Detroit..."

And that's the phrase I sing. During every Journey song. Even "Faithfully."

Is there a seperate Beer Nuts list I can jump on?

Posted by: Nugget on July 9, 2002 02:00 PM

"beer...nuts...I can jump on..."

There's a joke in there somewhere. A nasty one, too.

Posted by: ColdChef on July 9, 2002 02:02 PM

I do have that song Rock you Like a Hurricane in my head. Has been there for a while. Who wrote that song?

Posted by: adampsyche on July 9, 2002 02:03 PM

The Scorpions: "Rock You Like a Hurricane"
Music:Rudolf Schenker
Lyrics:Klaus Meine, Herman Rarebell

Posted by: jpoulos on July 9, 2002 02:11 PM

Note: That song isn't on that album, I don't think.

Posted by: jpoulos on July 9, 2002 02:12 PM

Lupo, one of my favorite bands, Dieselhed, cured me of that Juice Newton song by doing a great cover. Quite washed away the original.

Miggety, I think those songs have to have a name that suggests the formative and central nature of being. Like Fulcrum Songs or something.

And my brother in law is a Scorps maniac. He's German so I think he has no choice. Deep Purple too. The Germans, they love the Deep Purple.

I've got some more evil for you:

She's a Beauty - The Tubes

Posted by: kafkaesque on July 9, 2002 02:21 PM

It's all about Rammstein.

Posted by: adampsyche on July 9, 2002 02:25 PM

I'm an affirmed Neubauten fan. Those Rammstein boys are babes in the woods.

Posted by: kafkaesque on July 9, 2002 02:26 PM

The song that lingers in that Fulcrum Songs category for me is from k's favorite band: The Eagles, "Take It Easy." Second to that one is "Come Sail Away" by Styx. The third, and most devastating, "No Sleep 'til Brooklyn," by the band I used to love and now can't ever hear again.

Posted by: eyeballkid on July 9, 2002 02:51 PM

Neubaten seconded. And Test Department, they were good too. That said, I still find myself liking Rammstein in a Percy Faith, Ray Conniff sort of way. Am I unfaithful to our origins, Kaf?

* Geste just called me a "posting machine" on MetaTalk. so forgive me if I'm slightly hurt and befuddled...

I still crave those beer nuts though - in fact, I'd live in Bloomington, Indiana if I could. :)

When I was ten, at 4-H Camp, I drank two six packs of Root Beer on a dare. When I got sick, the carbonation caused the root beer to shoot out of my nostrils like a fire extinguisher.

Between the retching, I chased the other kids around, holding one nostril and spraying almost ten feet. I stopped when my stomach fluid burned my nasal cavities.

Also, I lost the attention of all the ladies I had been courting all week.

A cousin and I had a raw-egg eating contest when we were 10 and 12, respectively.

When we each had eaten a dozen we realized there were no more eggs in the house, so we called it a draw.

Even though nothing bad happened, that was the last eating contest in which I ever participated.

Oh, and I've never eaten another egg since. Raw or cooked.

Just a couple days ago, I came home from work, was greeting my lovely wife and adorable daughter, and began to down a large glass of cool milk. How Norman Rockwell, no? Well, I had a sudden urge to cough, with a mouth and throat full of milk - so SPUTTHHHPPPT! Out came almost all of the milk, straight into the cabinet in front of me - so forceful it spattered up on the ceiling and on the walls. My wife fell over laughing, and my two-year old was very concerned - "Papa okay?". Milk dripping from everything within a ten-foot radius, I smiled, coughed again, and said through a dripping beard and moustache "yes dear, everything's just fine"

Posted by: witchstone on July 12, 2002 11:54 AM

Man, that version of "I Can't Help Falling In Love" is great. Who was that? Hmm. "Lick The Tins". What a weird band name.

Eyeball, if you're here, are you going to see Siouxsie and The Banshees in August?

Posted by: kafkaesque on July 12, 2002 12:13 PM

No. Didn't know they were playing. BTW, that Some Kind of Wonderful soundtrack is the greatest soundtrack ever. Pete Shelley, "Brilliant Mind." The March Violets "Amanda Jones," and "Turn to the Sky." The Jesus and Mary Chain. Flesh for Lulu.

Posted by: eyeballkid on July 12, 2002 12:26 PM

Hmm. Can't tell if you're interested or not. Anyway, Hollywood at the Palladium on the 11th, The Grove in Anaheim on the 13th.

Posted by: yhbc on July 14, 2002 07:15 PM

OK, I need some quick input. We have 17 (possibly 18) participants in the swap. Should we do two groups or three?

Two groups of 9 means we burning 8 discs each. Three groups of 6 means we burn 5.

I'm leaning toward two groups, but if anyone objects loudly, we can do three.

Posted by: jpoulos on July 14, 2002 07:23 PM

oh... in that case, I'm in

Posted by: tj on July 14, 2002 08:21 PM

Three groups sounds spiffy to me.

Posted by: Crash on July 14, 2002 08:23 PM

I vote for two groups. Burning eight is not that much more than burning five, and we each get more.

Posted by: yhbc on July 14, 2002 08:31 PM

I'd go for more than five, but something's gone wonky with my burner, and 4X is as fast as it will burn. I still have three to burn for the blue page swap, so if we have to do eight each here, it could be Christmas by the time I finish.

Posted by: Crash on July 14, 2002 08:53 PM

I could go either way, but I say go with three groups. It'll be easier on the financially challenged.

Oh and soundtracks?

Until the End of the World
is my favorite.

And Wings of Desire too.

Are there real fans / collectors /swappers here?

No, Dee. I'm afraid we're all impressively realistic fakes ...

I'm really more of a poseur, but, you know, whatever.

Speak for yourself, I'm a simulacrum

Posted by: jonmc on October 11, 2002 02:30 PM

I subcontract for wax-works "real fans." I can't even get a full time gig.

Posted by: readymade on October 11, 2002 03:11 PM

...Or maybe like a tribute band that is an amazing simulation of real fans/collectors/swappers/spamming mofos.

I've got my tunes picked out! I'll be burning tomorrow, burner willing.

I'm slacking like Slackety Slacker the guy who slacks.

And I'm wearing slacks. How slack is that?

Where does slackness come from? From me. That's where.

Posted by: kafkaesque on October 15, 2002 02:09 AM

Nope. Slack comes from Bob. We all know that.

Posted by: readymade on October 15, 2002 03:37 AM

Why does that filename have Optamystic's name in it?

Posted by: kafkaesque on October 15, 2002 11:28 AM

Slackers unite! We're all having a meeting on ... no, fuck it.

Posted by: walrus on October 15, 2002 11:59 AM

Is "Optamystic" Daryl Snow? (Or Oral Robert?) I just found it on the Church of the Subgenius site doing a random "Bob" search....Spooky coincidence, or apocalyptic portent?

Posted by: readymade on October 15, 2002 06:40 PM

Um. I guess we probably shouldn't go bandying about people's real names here, just in case anyone's up for a federal post one day (though I can't imagine Optamystic running for anything, except maybe for his life if something angry was chasing him, but that's beside the point.)

So. um. Sorry I brought it up.

Posted by: kafkaesque on October 15, 2002 08:01 PM

Delete! Delete!

*so, is it the apocalypse?*

Posted by: readymade on October 15, 2002 08:58 PM

Will this wind be so mighty as to lay low the mountains of the Earth?

I miss Optamystic very much. And j.edwards. And mattpfeff!

Posted by: Miguel on October 15, 2002 09:15 PM

Well, you could just go to provenance unknown or amphiskios.

Posted by: kafkaesque on October 16, 2002 12:55 AM

For Optamystic, you'll have to check under freeway overpasses in the greater Los Angeles Metropolitan Region.

Posted by: kafkaesque on October 16, 2002 12:56 AM

How the hell did I end up here? There was this flash of light, and then....

Kaf, how could you?

Posted by: mattpfeff on October 16, 2002 02:06 AM

Dudley Moore. God rest his drunken soul.

Posted by: anathema on October 16, 2002 02:23 AM

Now do it for j.edwards!

Did someone summon me?

Dude! How do you go to the bathroom with those things?

Posted by: ColdChef on October 16, 2002 11:42 AM

Eddie Scissorhands can't play no banjo.

Posted by: kafkaesque on October 16, 2002 11:55 AM

And he REALLY sucked at "Rock, Paper, Scissors."

Posted by: ColdChef on October 16, 2002 12:40 PM

pfeffmeister! (i just wanted to type that for some reason)

umm welcome and stuff. the bar's that way. you'll need it

Posted by: tj on October 17, 2002 11:32 AM

Well met, Sir Pfeffernickel!

tj, I need a bar also. Gold should suffice.

Posted by: walrus on October 17, 2002 12:04 PM

By the way, Kaf, did you end up seeing Siouxsie back in July?

Posted by: witchstone on October 18, 2002 09:57 AM

Actually, no.

We're scrimpin' and savin' in the interest of buying a house soon, so things like that get pushed aside. I haven't been to a show in a long time.

Strangely, though, I still seem to find the cash for the occasional case of beer.

Funny how that works.

Posted by: kafkascampi on October 18, 2002 11:18 AM

Beer is somewhere below oxygen and above housing on my list of requirements.

Posted by: walrus on October 18, 2002 11:23 AM

Every Friday brings my trip to Beverages & More to stock up for the weekend. I think a little Stella Artois is in the offing.

Or maybe Anchor Steam, in honor of the Giants!

Posted by: kafkascampi on October 18, 2002 11:31 AM

Go Giants!

Posted by: The Rally Monkey on October 18, 2002 11:38 AM

Stella's a bit gassy, and the closeset we get to Anchor Steam is probably Newquay Steam. I shall be entrusting my consciousness unto the gods of cold, black sleep ...

Posted by: walrus on October 18, 2002 11:40 AM

Greetings!

Though, should to say, I been here fo' a little while -- just been keepin' quiet-like, an' such. ...

Posted by: mattpfeff on October 18, 2002 11:45 AM

It... It was Khan! He made me post!

Hello.

Posted by: j.edwards on October 18, 2002 01:54 PM

(j.edwards has prosthetic pectoral muscles)

Posted by: kafkascampi on October 18, 2002 02:06 PM

Do they ripple?

Posted by: witchstone on October 18, 2002 03:01 PM

but he's pryopic.

Posted by: goneill on October 18, 2002 03:25 PM

pre-opic?

Posted by: kafkascampi on October 18, 2002 04:01 PM

Priapic.

Sorry everyone.

It's not a funny joke if you need to explain it.

Posted by: goneill on October 18, 2002 04:23 PM

Priapic? Meaning, y'know, uh, a little obsessed with his genitals?

Posted by: readymade on October 18, 2002 04:25 PM

goneill, you beat me by a couple seconds. damn.

Posted by: readymade on October 18, 2002 04:25 PM

again, i apologise for this and everything that i will ever write on 9622.net.

Posted by: goneill on October 18, 2002 04:26 PM

At least he's not presbyopic....

Posted by: readymade on October 18, 2002 04:28 PM

i don't know what that means.

Posted by: goneill on October 18, 2002 04:29 PM

It's a transsexual Presbyterian.

Posted by: kafkascampi on October 18, 2002 04:30 PM

presbyopia: Inability of the eye to focus sharply on nearby objects, resulting from loss of elasticity of the crystalline lens with advancing age. Some jokes are so obscure only I get them...

I'm apologizing right along with you, goneill.

Posted by: readymade on October 18, 2002 04:33 PM

Shazam! Post!

Posted by: readymade on October 18, 2002 04:38 PM

I thought it was a really long movie about the story of the Media.

Posted by: witchstone on October 18, 2002 04:39 PM

No, it's the ability to become invisible to Presbyterians. I have the same thing, but it's Mormonyopic here.

Posted by: Crash on October 18, 2002 05:08 PM

I have a friend whose boyfriend is what I understand priapic to be*, and he makes 5 million dollars a year.

priapic(n) the ability to retain an erection after experiencing an orgasm.

Posted by: goneill on October 18, 2002 05:12 PM

oh yeah, that's a silencer.

Posted by: goneill on October 18, 2002 05:26 PM

Oh, is that worth something? I can do that.

I'd save money on fluffers, no doubt.

Posted by: Crash on October 18, 2002 05:30 PM

i don't think the two are related.

Posted by: goneill on October 18, 2002 05:34 PM

i don't think the two are related.
I'd hope not. Incest is no good for the gene pool.

Posted by: readymade on October 18, 2002 05:36 PM

Does he make $5 million a year *because* he's priapic, or is that just a bonus?

Posted by: tizzie on October 18, 2002 09:35 PM

Being pripaic could get inconvenient after awhile I guess. Although on the plus side he always has a place to hang his hat.

Posted by: jonmc on October 18, 2002 09:50 PM

the two are wholly separate.

the strange part is we are all trying to get her to break up with him. in writing it seems futile.

Posted by: goneill on October 19, 2002 02:44 AM

If she does break up with him, can I have him?

Posted by: jpoulos on October 19, 2002 09:11 AM

he's pretty annoying...

Posted by: goneill on October 19, 2002 09:18 AM

Holy Crap! I did that Subgenius photoshop like five years ago.

I'm still alive. (waves)Hi everybody. I miss you kids, too.

As for using my real name...If it's good enough for the mighty Migs, then it's good enough for me.

Posted by: Optamystic on February 11, 2003 08:17 PM

You've got some impeccable timing. That picture has been linked so long we thought you might have sold your computer and moved to Botswana.

Maybe you did, and you're holding out on us for fear that we will judge you for not having the fortitude to stick it out. But really, we're pretty understanding.

Welcome back. That is, if you are in fact coming back and not just playing hard-to-get...

Posted by: readymade on February 11, 2003 09:01 PM

It does not matter how slowly you go, so long as you do not stop.

A note about posting images:

We encourage users to post images, especially those hilarous pics of monkeys wearing dresses or programming for Linux. But posting images that reside on someone else's server is considered by many to be bandwidth theft. Our thoughts on the matter, along with some solutions to the problem, can be found here. Thanks.
