Happy Thanksgiving!

Oh...and Bif Naked's from Canada. That girl's totally in my wheelhouse.

No one has mentioned Rush yet. I'm ashamed to be a member of this forum.

On the downside, Canada's money still features the Queen. So much for independence, eh?

Rush sucks and this is why we don't mention them.

[Robot Master]

Neil Peart can eat a big fat...diiiiick
Geddy Lee can eat a big fat...diiiick
Death Row can eat a big fat...diiiick
Alex Lifeson eat a big fat...diiiick

I like rush. . .

Everyone Rush song ever (I wish you could hear my voice because it's all warbly on this)

"I fly with a unicorn over a meadow
We like to eat cupcakes
And explore our sexuality.

Sometimes I slay dragons with my imagination
I shoot beams of love from my eyes.

There is a tiger, he is a hunter
He eats my presents until I shoo him away."

So in other words, you've never listened to Rush. It's OK. I understand that some people on this board would prefer listening to emo bands in their bedroom with the lights off and the shades drawn so that no one can see them. By the way, where do you want me to send the cases of tissues and razor blades that I bought for you.

I would sooner listen to Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians than to listen to Rush.

There is so much love and acceptance here, it really warms my heart. (This post and the sarcasm in it is brought to you by Maker's Mark Whisky)

Fuck your Maker's Mark whiskey. Real men drink Jameson.

That wikileaks thing has a US diplomat reporting to our government about Anti-US sentiment in their media and how we need to...

We need to do everything we can to make it more difficult for Canadians to fall into the trap of seeing all U.S. policies as the result of nefarious faceless U.S. bureaucrats anxious to squeeze their northern neighbor. While there are those who may rate the need for USG public-diplomacy programs as less vital in Canada than in other nations because our societies are so much alike, we clearly have real challenges here that simply must be adequately addressed.

...although I'm kind of tickled at the concept of an American diplomat suggesting that we combat Canadian television imagery of the US being sneaky and bossy in a private, classified memo to the US government.

"WHAT?!?!? Canadians are increasingly showing television programs that depict Americans as nefarious, sneaky, and underhanded. I suggest our government gets involved in this RIGHT away."

Wow. Nice work with the standard stereotype of what emo is. Tell me, what is 2003 like? I miss it so much.

From the Rush song "The Necromancer"

"Brooding in the tower
Watching o'er his land
Holding ev'ry creature
Helplessly they stand
Gaze into his prisms
Knowing they are near
Lead them to the dungeons
Spectres numb with fear
They bow defeated"

From Dreamline

"He's got a road map of Jupiter
A radar fix on the stars
All along the highway
She's got a liquid-crystal compass
A picture book of the rivers
Under the Sahara

They travel in the time of the prophets
On a desert highway straight to the heart of the sun
Like lovers and heroes, and the restless part of everyone
We're only at home when we're on the run
On the run

"Time is a gypsy caravan
Steals away in the night
To leave you stranded in Dreamland
Distance is a long-range filter
Memory a flickering light
Left behind in the heartland"

From Nocturne

"Did I have a dream?
Or did the dream have me?

Set off on a night-sea journey
Without memory or desire
Drifting through lost latitudes
With no compass and no chart

Flying through hallucination
Distant voices, signal fires
Lighting up my unconscious
And the secret places of the heart

Dream - temporary madness
Dream - a voice in the wilderness
Dream - unconscious revelations
The morning says, the answer is yes"

From Ghost Rider

"Pack up all those phantoms
Shoulder that invisible load
Keep on riding North and West
Haunting that wilderness road
Like a ghost rider"


The list goes on. I know that I might have been off in my lyrics but really, I wasn't THAT far off. When I worked at a comic book store, I worked with a guy that would only listen to Rush and Olivia Newton John and therefore, I will hate Rush with every molecule of who I am.

To conclude, "What about the voice of Geddy Lee? How did it get so high? I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy."

[Setherick]

Wow. Nice work with the standard stereotype of what emo is. Tell me, what is 2003 like? I miss it so much.

Let's see in 2003, I had already worked at an architectural firm while still in high school, had a chapbook of poetry out, was publishing consistently in ezines, had had dinner with Mark Jarman, and went drinking with Zach Galifianakis. 2003 was awesome! In fact, I actually had time to do things that I wanted to do. Stupid PhD program...rabble rabble rabble

Also, in the future, I will only scale my references back five years when making fun of you. I was under the assumption that Springfield was still 10 years behind the rest of the world. Apparently that push to become a Google city accelerated some things.

[rayner23]

Awww . . . Pat . . . you miss Order66 to push around so you resort to picking on me.

It's almost cute . . . almost.


By the way, be sure you bundle up. I know that it seems like a heatwave with 19 degrees in Milwaukee, but it apparently feels like 8 degrees. We wouldn't want your head to catch cold the way your heart has.
