I'm doing this thread for the benefit of the members who've been here a long time, and those who've recently joined. We recently revealed there is in fact a Lifetime Members forum - it was invisible to all but those who belonged to the forum, and it was initially suggested to me to be created as a place where a few long-time members could seek refuge from General Banter, as they felt at times the quality of the threads went up and down, or the stupid/intelligent discussion ratio got a bit out of balance. It was decided to be hidden so anyone seeing that didn't feel offended that they weren't invited (those who cared), or bothered asking how they could get in - basica…

Does your significant other listen to the music you write? 1 2
by Guest Spittal- 44 replies
- 1.9k views
The title pretty much says it all. I ask because I send my girlfriend every song I write, regardless if I like it or not. I even send her ones that are not finished. She says she likes them and then never really mentions them again... This morning I looked at her blog and she posted a Lady Gaga cover, and I was like "Man, she's never posted my music". Other music she has posted includes: Caribou (Which I love, I don't really dig Andorra or Swim, but The Milk of Human Kindness is one of the greatest albums I've listened too) Feist Girls Laura Marling Ect ect ect. I don't really care if she doesn't like my music, I know she respects it. I'm just curious if a…

Painting exterior walls
by Guest Conor74- 20 replies
- 677 views
Gotta paint the house exterior tomorrow, managed to put it off all last summer but the time has come. Think it's just a case of powerhosing the wall, when that's dry firing on thinned down primer, and then putting as many coats of the chosen colour paint on top of that as are necessary. Anyone know anything about this stuff? Heard the golden rules are get extendable poles for rollers, and cover all downpipes.

I'm very sorry Mike mate but having no job sucks monkey balls. So basically if you want 2 tickets to Once Upon A Festival, you can have them. Provided you actually will go. I hate the thought of wasting them. Sorry for the short notice lol.

Like the thread title says.. happy April 14th! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBFXJw7n-fU Today is special to me not just 'cos of the Aphex song (which I love, of course) but also because it was on this day in 2007 that I met the woman who is now my wife :D Additionally, an Indian woman who works in the same building as I do informed me that today is New Year's day among Punjabi/Sikh peoples: Baisakhi festival. So, happy New Year's/Aphex Day/Wife-Meeting Day!

Hey all. I have had irritable bowels for a few years now, and it has been the bane of my existence. At school (University... I'm in college.) I usually like to sit in the outside seat near the door so that I may quickly exit the classroom and use the restroom if I need to. Recently, after a month or so into the semester, I entered class and saw a girl was sitting in my usual seat. I politely asked her to move and she irritably (no pun intended) told me that she was sitting there and there were many other seats open. My stomach lurched immediately at the thought. "Please! I need to sit there!" I told her but she would not move. I stood there and I could feel my face ge…

It's 5:54 am

So it's 5:54 in the morning (in new York atleast)...that's not the issue; I usually need to get up at 5:45 anyway. The issue is that I woke up at 5:42, and was ducking hoping to look at my alarm clock and see that I had another two hours to sleep rather than three minutes. I also want to mention that when I type "Fuck" on my iPod touch it tries to autocorrect it to "Rich" My iPod also thinks "fucking" is "ducking"

A thread about particular kinds of people who are or do things you don't like. I'll start it off... -------------------------------------- I DISLIKE PEOPLE WHO THINK THEIR "ARTSY" BECAUSE THEY LISTEN TO INDI MUSIC, ARE LIBERAL, AND WATCH MOVIES LIKE JUNO. NONE OF THOSE THINGS MAKE YOU "ARTSY", JUST A LIBERAL HIPSTER.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aovaRsVV28 http://www.metal-archives.com/band.php?id=3540292784 An anthropomorphic dinosaur metal band for kids. Guess they're following the "legacy" of Lordi. No idea if it's a show or promotional one-off or joke or a combination of all three. I'm now adding this to my shortlist of other notable Finnish achievements (that I can think of at the moment): brilliant rally car drivers, having a prime minister who looks like Conan O'Brien, Aleksi Perälä, changing major alliances three times during WWII, and building the world's biggest cruiseship.

i swear to god I'm just sitting here intermittently rubbing alongside my balls and then taking big whiffs b/c I just can't get enough of this smell. I've smelled this my entire adult life you know, but tonight, as I sit here filling out insurance forms and pondering life, I seem to be born anew to this wondrous moldy musk. holy shit I just looked up musk and it seems to actually refer to ball-smell. fuck all of you if you like. *sniffs*

for one reason or another, I ignored the God of War series of games on the PS2. I heard they were universally considered great, and I love action/platformers, but I just never checked them out. what a mistake. i recently downloaded the GOW3 demo and was fucking floored. I just picked up the God of War Collection for PS3 and haven't been this enthralled by a game in a long time. The graphics are amazing. The combat is awesome. And the storyline (of GOW 1) is fantastic, the best I've ever encountered in a game. As a rule, I don't use emoticons. but if i did, I would facepalm myself for not getting into these sooner (although I'm glad I waited for the colle…
