  1. hot drummers. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Hot drummers are the root of all evil! But what excited me about a band is technical skill combined with that soulful feeling (like they really care about and feel what they play) and dance-ability!
  2. I must admit that I respect a nation that stands up to the Master of Hegemony. This evens the balance of power a little, and that actually makes me feel more safe. It makes me feel like there is a chance that the culture of greed and individualism isn't going to take over the entire world. When countries other than the United States have the power to destroy the world it also means they have the power to impact the world in other ways without fear of being outgunned. I'm really hoping that North Korea is going to be like a shop-keeper that has a gun under the counter hoping never to use it, but knowing they can if it's the last resort to defend themselves.
  3. And when you ask the people who want these books banned if they have read them the answer is no almost all of the time. All they have seen are the pages with the so-called offensive material and therefore could not possibly conmrehend the meaning of the work.
  4. No, you're not the only one, I know two other dorks that read that series. I personally don't, I'm too cool for that. I am however in to the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett, The Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind and The Riftwar Saga by Raymond E. Feist.
  5. The thing that sticks out in my memory from SF is the people. There weren't so many "hippies" as activists. I learned a ton out there just talking to people all over. I found the city to be really friendly, too.
  6. I totally think that's a fair policy purple foot, especially since you can get in shit anyways for it being there, even if it's not yours. But people who take plants that were not on their land are complete assholes.
  7. Tee Hee! Can I steal this for my signature?
  8. Alexis!!! You are completely becoming the library goddess, I've got textbooks for you!

    I'm so excited!

    Have fun! Try to catch some cool native culture when you're there, such a different philosophy on life compared to the typical suburban family.
  11. I think you guys live on the second floor of my building!
  12. Feist Regina Spektor And I can't believe no one mentioned Ani Difranco, the definitive angry chick rocker of my generation.

    Vibes for Taj

    Q: How many hips does it take to make a hippy happy? A: The number's not important, it just matters if they can gyrate. May your hospital stay be filled with hot nurses, many visitors bringing food and cool roommates.
  14. I went to a couple of camps with the Christadelphians. They preached that you shouldn't associate much with people who didn't believe in "The Truth", and if you had to, you were to be actively converting them at every opportunity. If you want to go do anything outside of your house (providing you are finished doing your daily bible readings) you must do it in conjunction with the Church or at least with other church members. Every day of the week there was something at the church so you never had an excuse to have any sort of secular activities. Your entire mind and being had to be devoted to "The Truth". It sucked.
  15. Sorry about the lateness of these wellwishes, some hippie absconded with my computer!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! It's nice to know that people can still be cool when they are as old as you! tee hee

    YARRR!

    forget the salad and hugging! Tofu, rum and debauchery it be! Yarrrr!!! and I'm through with the tofu for today, the debauchery and rum have only just begun!
  17. I did it again, trying to see what the description was for my Pirate name and I like what came up instead! I didn't get the same name as the first time I did the test, but it must take a try or two to be accurate! Dread Pirate Bonney! Like the famous Dread Pirate Roberts, you have a keen head for how to make a profit. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a pirate's life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty well. Arr!
  18. Welcome to the board. I hope you have some spare time, this board is a heavy responsibility. And in the wise words of Cheech Marin, That heavy responsibility shit is some heavy responsibility.

    upgrade news

    Some topics have a light blue font in the forum list. Is this a special feature that I don't get or is this a bug? And I'd also really like the hover text back. I'm getting carpal tunnel in my clicking finger.
