scottieking

I was sitting in my living room with a motley crew of characters that include Rabidmonkey (org. Nero bass player) Dr Giggles, Beats and others?? and they suggested a good way to keep up on things was to join this forum. I already belonged to the Phish Tape Traders Forum and had made the acquitance over there of such fine pholks as AD, Northern Wish, Mark Tonin. MarcO and others (anybody got a screen shot of the old board?) And to top things off, my first post is the creation of the now infamous 5 disc rotation. From icebreaker to board mainstay, I love you all and will see most of you very, very soon. Here's the post 11/08/01 "Hey all, Scottieking here, I've got to say, this board has some definite potential to further expand our Canadian head community. To whomever runs the site, keep up the good work cause I know it's hardwork. I've been doing this online thing on again off again since '98 and have been a phan for waaay longer and felt since I intend to be using this board a little more often (once again thanks to Ottawa lads down last weekend for bringin me on, Saturday afternoon just won't be the same) I'd let you cats who don't know me from the Canadian Tape Traders Board what I'm about. The reason I love these things is that it serves as such a potential positive force for all who choose to get involved. Sure, opinions are great and need to be expressed but play nice, don't give in to bias, and try to hear the other side. I guess that's the teacher in me talkin. I guess I'm just trying to feel out if this is a place where this is going to be accepted or mocked. I know that it's the coolest feeling to finally meet somebody at a show that you've been trading or just hangin with online. Guys like Mark Tonin or MarcO who I've only known in cyberspace that have suddenly popped to life at shows BLAM instant friendships. I know I'm rambling (could be the drugs) but wouldn't you rather start it off with "Great to meet you" instead of a "Oh YOUR ________ who called me a ______" Ah well, food for thought. Hey, if you made it this far, congrats and thank-you. Anyway, here's a good one for discussion always. Top 5 things in Permanent Rotation on your stereo 1. New Deal - new album, too good 2. Tom Waits - Rain Dogs - found it at Music World for $5.99 - classic 3. SCI - 3/10/01 - mmmm, soundboard 4. Sloan - Pretty Together - sucker for a good harmony 5. Rheostatics - Night of the Shooting Stars - their latest and IMO one of their finest Dig it. Discuss it. If I could too at this moment put out a request for anyone who has a nice copy of A)MMW - Toronto Jazz Fest B)Trey Band - Deer Creek/01 please email or otherwise Great to be here. Thanks for reading. sunnydaze scottieking" look how nice Booche is to me at first....

NPR's All Things Considered is an awesome source for exposure to new tunes state side. My suggestion is to go to Itunes podcast section and browse around. There are tons of hobby related, genre specific sites. I listen to comic creators, CBC Ideas, NHL podcasts, and even a Lost podcast. Something for everyone.

MERRY HO-HO FROM SCOTTIEKING AND MY SIS, SUNSHINE!

Poor James. Maybe his pain is finally over. RIP.

Sunshine was showing us some pictures last night. Cuter by the minute. Happy Birthday (from me and my sis)

Happy bud, birthday!

Deadwood shares more than Shakespeare's wit. The use of asides and soliliques(sp) gives it that feel as well. Haven't hit up Carnivale yet. Sounds like a Christmas vacation project to me.

Nice logic. Now picture me as a woman (the elf thing at the top should help). Now take it back. Or keep picturing me as a woman if it helps you make it through night or as the case may be morning your time.

Lots of love from the L-town gang! See you in a few weeks!

I'm not really a teacher... SANTA'S LITTLE HELPER

No doubt. Wouldn't you have a file on Jack Bauer's grandfather?

Willy, if you could provide said study, that would be key. There is a huge debate in academic circles right now. I personally will not allow Wikipedia to be used for citation purposes, simply because of the instant malleability of it ie you could become the current King of Spain, should I wish it.

Sorry to hear about this, Cully. Hopefully it is for the best.

That's it so far for Season One. It has been picked up for this season. I think it's doing superheroes in just the right way. Deconstructionist and written by a comic book writer (Jeph Loeb), it is must see TV.

Nice try, this is too good for the Slip forum!

This has been one of the funniest fuckin weeks on this board in a long time. Boobs.

Agreed. Just giving the Beats the love. *steps off high horse and returns to propagation of the youth*

I'll step up to the plate and defend Rob here. Solid guy, heart of gold, needs an editor (hey, something you have in common ) deserves better than this slanderous rant. PM him if it's such a problem. Edit: I just noticed the compliment you paid him at the end. That was nice.

Shouldn't this be in the Nero Forum? You laugh now, but wait until January.....

Strength in these difficult times to you Mark and the whole Mouse family.

C-towns, you read my mind. Honestly, it's got all my favorite skank characters saying and doing the most HILARIOUS things. Except how did this one not set off Lazlo's creep-o-meter?

I cannot get enough of this album. It is in my top 10 of the year for sure.
