Ahem
“UH HUH…this my shit! ALL THE GIRLS STOMP YA FEET LIKE THIS!!”
“Few times I been round that track cuz’ it’s not just gonna happen like that…I AINT NO HOLLA BACK GIRL! I AINT NO HOLLA BACK GIRL!”
Cue harmonious brass instrumental breakdown in the key of bad mofo
So, how old are your little ones?
My humble submission here:
I don’t have any kids, but the ex-girlfriend I posted about last fall has a three-year-old niece. Even her birthday party was Baby Shark themed!
Has your household fallen prey to the Baby Shark?
First song to come to mind. “Send In the Clowns” The title makes me smile
The history around this song led to my ex-wife and my mixed-pairs routine. We didn’t use the song, but the previous Miss Jacksonville danced to that song. My then girl friend had entered the Miss Jacksonville and made close friends with previous winner. She introduced us to a dance instructor who choreographed our routine. It was very seductive and we used it in the three meets we entered.
Was listening to Jeff Beck recently.
I think I’m gonna change my choice to this:
Or maybe Led Zep’s Since I’ve Been Loving You.
“What about CLAPTON???”
Clapton sucks.
“But… but… he was also once in the Yardbirds!”.
So what? He still sucks. Shut up, Yardbird fanboys lol.
The guitarist from The Clash could outplay him any day of the week if he really wanted to flex his guitar skills:
“But Jeff Beck keeps bending notes out of tune blah blah fucking blah!”.
Oh boohoo! Shut up. You don’t know what you’re talking about.
Go back to listening to Oasis while lying prostrate before your life sized cut outs of Noel Gallegar, who has the incomparable ability to make a mockery of the pentatonic scale, in your parents’ basements with your Pokemon bed sheets and Japanese cartoon figures you nerds.
What? Japanese cartoons are called “anime”? They’re single drawings that project the illusion of movement because of multiple consecutive ones displayed in each passing frame, which is what causes the “animation”. That’s what we call a CARTOON.
Going by this logic, all live action movies, hell, every single form of visual media should be an “anime” since each frame is really just a fucking photograph. Do you call CNN a fucking anime?
Piss off.
Jeff Beck rocks.
(Joking! Just joking! Kinda…)
The greatest part about tool is each song resonates so differently with each individual that everyone has different favorites–and it’s amazing.
Sometimes flood or undertow get me the most, sometimes aenema or third eye or pushit, sometimes lateralus reflection or the grudge. The journey is amazing with each song and in different moments almost all of them could have been my favorite.
Fear inoculum is amazing. Adam getting his solo on Descending to highlight how much better he got since 10,000 days is terrific, but Danny is fucking otherworldly.
Metallica - MOP
There are others I’d be happy with. But happiest - this.
The Beck and especially the Zep take me back to high school.
Beck is awesome, and in his own universe
D.o.A. or Mean Street
Mean Street is one of those songs I start singing out of nowhere when I’m just walking somewhere by myself and in a good mood…
that or Bare Necessities from the Jungle Book -lol
S
So… Groovy!
They’re touring with Megadeth this summer. You goin’?
As I’m in Australia… Probably not, our society is in a perpetual state of excessive restrictions in effort to keep covid-19 eliminated.
One case = entire states shut down
Given the way Australian socioeconomic policies are heading/the nature of our politics and nanny state regulations my intention is to get out of Australia and never come back as soon as I am able to do so.
We had a travel bubble open up in New Zealand. This created a loophole, those who left to NZ could leave NZ to go overseas and quarantine in hotels upon return as Australia is the only country draconian enough to actually implement an overtly authoritarian policy banning citizens from leaving
Well… Our government didn’t like this, from now on those who leave new Zealand are slapped with a prison sentence.
Another new law, L players (drivers aged between 16-17 depending on the state you live in) caught driving without an adult face a prison sentence. A prison sentence for a silly mistake seems overtly harsh, esp given we have one of the lowest road death tolls in the world.
Sorry for the rant, but I believe Australia is declining… Seriously, I’ve never liked Greg Hunt, but after implementing that law indicating a jail sentence for leaving New Zealand… What an ass
Aussie Interpreters helping soldiers are stuck in Afghanistan, they’re facing death from the locals and guess what… The Aussie government doesn’t seem to want to pull them out because “covid”. It’s this lack of empathy from law enforcement and government agencies alike during this pandemic that will come back to bite them in the ass.
@Beyond_Beyond thoughts?
I absolutely live for DLR era VH \m/
I can’t but agree, there are some dumb as fuck laws around at the moment in Australia. The only problem is knowing what other shitty laws are enacted in other countries at the moment.
If you want to get out of Aus, is it worthwhile for you to go to Israel? Important family/religious/cultural imperatives as an excuse, oh I mean reason? I’m betting they would force you to get vaccinated though.
Well you know what rhymes with Hunt?
I have no problem with this. If getting vaccinated equates to our government leaving me alone I’ll be the first in line. I want to be vaccinated asap, I imagine it’s going to be a world-wide prerequisite for international travel. The astrazeneca blood clot fiasco is media hysteria/sensationalism. The chance of death from covid-19 within my age demographic is roughly 1/500 to 1/1000. The chance of death from the astrazeneca vaccine is around 1/700,000, probably less for those within my age range.
Israel has vaccinated over 50% of their population and are accepting vaccinated visitors. Programs exist of which allow young adults to visit Isreal under various pretences and exemptions are being granted for those wishing to access these programs. I wouldn’t do this however as I assume leaving Isreal afterwards would equate to a jail sentence upon returning to Aus.
What I’m stating is, if Australia keeps following down this perceived route of blatant nanny state madness I’d rather opt to move to Isreal permanently. I could apply for and be granted a citizenship, the level of perceived freedom and acceptance for civil liberties within say… Tel Aviv far supersedes that of current era Australian culture.
What’s more, I have family residing there; it’s not as if I’d be all alone. My first avenue out is to ATTEMPT to apply for studying abroad once I have completed enough credits within my current uni course.
When I’m overseas I can go see Lamb of God live on stage DAMMIT!
I’d hate to see you go permanently, it would be a loss for Australia. We need all the good blokes we can get. but you got to do what is right for you. Victoria is by far the most harsh in regard to the covid experience. I feel your pain, chairman Dan is a real dick.
Thank you 
this compliment made my day. I wouldn’t be leaving permenantly for at least a few years
Not happy with Daniel Andrews at all. From condoning police brutality to extending our state of disaster until DECEMBER (because… Why? We have ZERO CASES!). I genuinely don’t like him, many of his vested ideologies don’t appear to correlate with my beliefs.
I agree with his stance on climate change and a few social issues, otherwise he is far too authoritative for my liking.
Also… Getting Victoria involved with the belt and road initiative… Get out of here!
It all began in 96 when you handed over your guns.
Maybe we should move this to PWI.
But I have another addition
