this article on prog is both hilarious and informative http://www.cracked.com/funny-2359-progressive-rock/?wa_user1=5&wa_user2=topic&wa_user3=topic&wa_user4=flashback

1. Progressive rock is categorized by a sacking of traditional song structure, complex rhythms, odd time signatures and a sense of     inherent superiority over other rock genres
    2. Because of this, it's pretty much never been popular
   3.  It is the only rock genre in which the term "flute solo" has any meaning

If you ever get trapped into a discussion with a prog-rocker and have no idea what's happening, just remember this rule of thumb: A good barometer of progressive rock quality is the number of instruments used at any one time.

and even retard metal (Rammstein).

This part made me lol. And I like Rammstein...

Rofl, retard metal. Sadly applicable.









They forgot to slice my pizza at Pizza the Hutt. My parents want me to get a refund, but it was so minor that I just can't ask for a refund over something like this. Plus when I opened the box and my parents gave the pizza a surprised look and said, "They forget to slice it?" I got the opportunity to respond with, "What, you expected me to share?"

One of my favorite definitions is: "The seemingly insane juxtaposition of weird time signatures."
One of my memories of GOD has to do with a conversation post-Pigmys in which some guy was popping a fanboy boner over a Tool song (can't remember which one) and he said something like, "Then you went from 11/9 to 7/8 and then to 15/6," and Danny was all, "Oh man, I can't even remember what the fuck I was playing!"  And I said, "That's what the whiteboard is for!  Show your work!" and nobody laughed at my nerdy math joke but him.  That's why I love him, of course.

Yeah, it can't be prog-rock without a lot of bizarre time signatures. 

You know what gets me though, is how much of it with a few notable exceptions now just sounds like 70s throwbacks, or they're trying to be like Dream Theater. 

Ultimately I don't listen to a lot of it.

I laughed so hard at the flute solo line because I actually once said something about OMG A FREAKING FLUTE SOLO! when describing tmv to someone

My right hand has mostly recovered from the freak Zippo accident from a few months ago, and I only have 2 noticeable scars from the incident.  However, my fingers occasionally ache in cold weather now.

Do they also check change return slots for coins whenever they pass one?  8-p

I need to hear about this incident.

[sin]

I need to hear about this incident.

There's not much to tell.  I was refilling a Zippo, and spilled some lighter fluid on my hand.  I sort of shook it off, and figured that was that, not realizing that it had sunk into my skin.  I flicked the Zippo to test the re-fill, and as soon as the spark caught, my right hand turned into a fireball from the wrist down.  I threw the lighter away from me in a hurry (and briefly set fire to the carpet, as the lighter itself was engulfed in a globe of fire), and, remembering my grade school fire safety classes, executed a "stop, drop, and roll", tucking my inflamed appendage close and smothering the flame.

The 3 seconds I was on fire, however, blistered the bejeezus out of my hand, and I now bear a permanent scar on the middle knuckle of my index finger, and another burn-scar between the 3rd and 2nd knuckle of my middle finger, due to me being a dumbass.

edit:  me and my brother were actually laughing about it; of all the insane things that might happen to you, it's kind of ridiculous that grade school spent so much time teaching you what you should do if you should ever catch fire.  I mean, really.  What are the odds?  But it's ironic, because it happened to me, and the first thing I remembered was Frederick The Fire Dog coming to my school in 2nd grade and making sure we all knew "Stop, Drop, and Roll!"

[r00]

damn dude!  that's nuts.  Thank god for Frederick The Fire Dog!

@r00: they once returned a several hundred dollar HDTV because the delivery dudes scratched the finish on the frame trying to fit a fifty-something inch television through our trailer's door. While I'm not sure how they scraped it through a fucking box (they claimed it "must've gotten rattled while we were moving it"), you have to keep in mind that it was not the panel, just the black frame. They're kind of nuts about buying things new and perfect.

It's kinda weird because they never resell their shit anyway, but god forbid you put a soda down within five feet of a new item; they scold their children because they're apparently afraid that soda can will sprout wings and violently fornicate with their shiny new purchase.

That gave me such a LOLZ!

I pretty much gave up caffeine while I was pregnant with jerk #1 and it wasn't really an issue until I started my latest job. Working until 11:30pm and getting up at 5am with jerk #2 doesn't make me very functional. My mom was down here last week and bought me a sweet new coffee maker and I'm actually up doing chores and getting shit done, as opposed to laying on the couch praying for naptime. heh.

Today, I heard a new word, that will immediately strike fear and panic into the very soul of any straight married man anywhere in the world:

Superovulation

Gentlemen, I will now commence panicking.
