[size=1][color=indigo][font=arial]It's imagery and metaphor. lol Marilyn Manson isn't just a shock rock band throwing out these crude lines for the hell of it, they actually have substance and deeper meaning. It's like, sometimes you have to think about the whole song in the context of a metaphor to even [i]get it[/i]. If you just write it off cause you find them horrible and vulgar on the surface, that's fine, but you're hardly giving them the justice they deserve. I mean, honestly, how could Great Big White World work as a cocaine metaphor if you removed all the 'horrible' lyrics?[/font][/color][/size]

[quote name='Premonition'][COLOR="Navy"]Coke is my anti-drug, cause I can't stand Pepsi. I mean come on, does Pepsi have a "zero" cola that is better than Coka-Cola Zero? I think not. Vault, the Mt. Dew substitute has a very sweet Zero. The flavor gets icky after a while, but it's refreshing cold. Even though nothing beats regular vault. Plus what soda put a little amount of cocaine into their soda decades ago? None, besides coke that is. Cheers coke, keep on popping![/COLOR][/QUOTE] [size=1][color=indigo][font=arial]In Australia we have Pepsi Max, which is the same concept as Coke Zero and beat it to the punch by about, oh, 12 years. And it's delicious.[/font][/color][/size]

[COLOR="Indigo"][SIZE="1"][FONT="Arial"][quote name='Umbra II]Rammstein: I don't know how much people here know about them, but they're a German band (and [STRIKE]a little[[/STRIKE'] neo-Nazi, but that's beside the point). [/quote] Rammstein aren't neo-nazi at all, just because it's aggressive German music [i]you can barely understand[/i] it doesn't immediately peg them as skinheads. I've actually read their quite the opposite, and a lot of their songs are less angry and more social satire. Same goes for Manson, I don't know which songs you're listening to, but unless your definition of 'horrible lyrics' is any song that swears, there's not a lot of horrible in manson's stuff. Most of his early work is social satire that, while crude, doesn't approach real horrible, and even then most of the imagery is metaphor. So I don't know, I think you're crazy.

[size=1][color=indigo][font=arial]Left front pocket: Phone, always, and car keys. Cause my phone has (had?) a gloss shine, and the car keys have a 'scratch the **** out of everything' effect, my phone looks like it's worth a lot less than $850 now. Right front pocket: Cigarettes, lighter. Winfield Blue unless they have none at the servo, in which case Winfield Red. Back pocket: Wallet, with such thrilling things as: my driver's license (ooh), my keycard (aah) and my Medicare card (aaaaaah). Also, two condoms, have a dozen receipts, and $9 in change scattered throughout it's various pockets and compartments. Most of this stuff gets moved around when I'm wearing a jacket, or all jammed into one pocket if I'm wearing my shorts with only one pocket. I've crushed more cigarettes that way....[/font][/color][/size]

[size=1][color=indigo][font=arial]I use anti-heroin (made out of anti-matter) as an anti-drug. It's anti-fantastic. Also, nicotine, valium, vicodin, marijuana, ecstasy and alcohol.[/font][/color][/size]

[quote name='The Blue Jihad']Would an actual sex party for the of-age members be out of the question? Bunch of us get together one night, have a few drinks (more than a few) and screw until mid afternoon? Would pictures and video be permitted? Cause something like that would totally be new and provocative...and would push the envelope...among other things.[/QUOTE] [COLOR="Indigo"][size=1][font=arial]It'd certainly push up the birth rate.[/font][/size][/COLOR]

[size=1][font=arial][COLOR="Indigo"]I dunno, I can be pretty sure when I say this that it's hilarious no matter [i]which[/i] elitist is around. So lately I've been listening to a lot of Queens of the Stone Age, who I'd say would probably qualify as the best, most diverse and most consistent hard rock band of today. Their latest album is just fun, man, and I recommend everyone gives it a shot. Of course, it's nothing like their previous albums but you know, that's business as usual for QOTSA.[/COLOR][/font][/size]

[size=1][color=indigo][font=arial]yeah, see, the thing is I don't feel the need to expound on myself. I saw what I come to say and I say it efficiently. 3 - 4 paragraphs of saying the same thing with references to the Matrix and my alcoholism are unneccesary, cause like, i got it all from your first paragraph. You think you're better cause you go on at length and I don't **** around. That's brilliant. Go you. [i]No one cares[/i].[/font][/color][/size]

[FONT="Arial"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="Indigo"]Yeah. 'Look'. :rolleyes:[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

[COLOR="Indigo"][SIZE="1"][FONT="Arial"][quote name='Sesshomarufan']That being said, I can't agree with you this time Copycatalyst about the quality of posts slipping. We should hold all members to a posting standard, however not all memers post long-winded anecdotes like others do. I'm personally in favor of being short and to the point, if you can make at least two good paragraphs of posting goodness, then good for you. It's the one liner posts that irritate me the most.[/QUOTE] One liner posts often say more than three or four paragraphs of ********. [/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

[quote name='Raiyuu']Am I the only one that thinks Starbucks coffee tastes like a hot, watery oil slick?[/QUOTE] [size=1][color=indigo][font=arial]Don't worry, you're not alone.[/font][/color][/size]

[size=1][color=indigo][font=arial]Coffee, white with two sugars. Three sugars and two coffees if I'm really ****ing stressed.[/font][/color][/size]

[size=1][color=indigo][font=arial]I umm... forgot. But rest assured, I would like to meet your bulldog, and to a lesser extent you, sometime in the future.[/font][/color][/size]

[quote name='Sara'][color=#db2007]Haha, you'd better be. And yes, Nerdsy. We definitely need to do that, as well.[/color][/QUOTE] [font=arial][color=indigo][size=1]me on my best behaviour is hardling amazing, but I'd exert effort on your behalf, I swear.[/font][/color][/size]

[SIZE="1"][FONT="Arial"][color=indigo][quote name='RiflesAtRecess'][font=arial][size=1]DeadSeraphim - Alan reminds me a lot of my friend, Tres, with just how zany and violent he is. I'd almost be scared to meet him because he'd probably think I'm a loser, and tell me so constantly. He's a funny guy, though. [/font][/size][/QUOTE] No, I'd tell you you're a ****** constantly, or a dickhead, or a ****. I don't **** around with nice insults, and when I do use them they're rarely serious. I'd like to meet Tony, just so I could get him trashed and rape his music collection, D'Ann cause it'd probably end in some kind of crazy orgy, Kei because she's sweet and I need to take her drinking (this basically means you people are coming to [i]Australia[/i], since I'm not going to any country where I'm not allowed to drink), Kevin so I could force him to take up smoking and then leave him in a ditch, Molly cause we need to visit a zoo, and James to punch him for ever considering vBulletin for OB's forum software. I'd meet Sara but be on my best behaviour, I'd meet [i]Sarah[/i] (futuregirl) and smoke and drink with her, I'd meet Nina and play videogames, and I'd meet Boo and make fun of fat people. Also, Shinmaru, John, Des and AJ would get a visit, and of those four, four would involve robbing a convenience store.[/color][/FONT][/SIZE]

[quote name='Desbreko'][color=#4B0082]Huzzah! Quick reply is back in working order, and is now also using AJAX to post the reply without having to reload the entire thread. And to go along with it, quick edit is also working now, which lets you edit posts without having to load any new pages. Now shower me with praise, for I am so great and stuff. :bow:[/color][/QUOTE] [size=1][color=indigo][font=arial]Praise, etc etc. Good job you were dealing with it, all the drinking I've been doing this weekend to avoid domestic issues would've had it unresolved for a year and a half.[/font][/color][/size]

[quote name='James'][color=#606060]I actually think we might be upgrading our vB before the new version launches. I've been talking to Alan about that recently - I'll have to see where we are with it.[/color][/QUOTE] [size=1][color=indigo][font=arial]It's on the latest version now, but apparently support for vBulletin is non****ingexistant so I'm having trouble getting the template kinks worked out. I'll get back to you on it. Worst case scenario is we have to roll back to 3.0.3 and lose a week of posts, which I'm trying to avoid.[/font][/color][/size]

[QUOTE=Premonition][COLOR=Navy]Yeah, it's true, what can I say. But if he dares to even go into the rank of 2nd-in-command, I'll hang him by his eyelids. But I too, digress. Method 75 or 30: Post with your friends and annoy the crap out of everybody (white are you certain it's method 29?) If you post insults, friendly comments or even threats against your friends in a thread you will get noticed. [B]Pros: [/B] People will post about it. [B]Cons:[/B] they'll will ahte you in that post. Mentors: 2007DigitalBoy, Premonition[/COLOR][/QUOTE] [size=1][color=indigo][font=arial]As much as the mutual masturbation you two are doing is amusing, being an annoying dick doesn't make you a superstar. Making ad infinitum methods to define yourself as such makes you even less of a superstar and more of a D-Grade horror movie actor, that one guy everyone including the paparazzi always avoids on the red carpet. Exposure isn't superstardom, [i]respect and admiration[/i] is superstardom. [B]Method 30: Be Deathknight[/B] It doesn't matter what the state of your hair is, or that you have a turtleonhead fetish, just being Deathknight is enough. Spreading fear and terror where you go, but being loved by everyone simultaneously, you can't help but be a superstar. Unfortunately, the usage of this method has run its course, and no longer works. It is included strictly for posterity. [i]Mentors[/i]: Deathknight[/font][/color][/size]

[COLOR=Indigo][SIZE=1][FONT=Arial][quote name='2007DigitalBoy][COLOR=DarkOrange']No, but this post just earned you a place next to Prem on the 'people I consider less important than me' list. Basically, it's a list of people who I'm mean to in a way that is funny to myself and that person, but annoying to everyone else. You can expect tons of angry PMs from me about stupid things - in fact, you, Prem and I might just start a stupidity circle for PMing each other. What I'm interested in, thoughm is wether Prem is going to be mean to you now seing as he was on my list longer and is therfor kind of my second-in-command, wheras you're the new guy. this sort of group dynamic often works well in cartoons, so it should make for fun antics.[/COLOR][/quote] Tact. Subtlety. Insulting two people at once. db has it all.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]
