What do you do when your employer allows the reinstatement of a corrupt punk co-worker, who was fired for gross misconduct and vandalism of company property? What do you do when this punk (who was a popular member of the union good-old boy club) made your life hell everyday for the past two years, via his intentional sabotage of your job.....in addition to blackballing you because you dared to stand up to his buddy, a drunken loser who was abusive to you everyday (and got himself fired for it)? What do you do when your employer tells you that this punk is being reinstated to his job after SEVEN MONTHS? What do you do when you are being forcibly demoted back to your old job, on the SAME SHIFT as this punk, destined to endure the same abuse and disrespect for who knows how long.....? Years, perhaps....? YOU QUIT. That is what you do. I don't care about the huge loss of revenue. I don't care about the uncertainty of my future. I don't care about having to move in with my mother until I can start all over again....which may be never. ANYTHING is better than going back to that horrible job with such impotent management and such horrible co-workers. Grain dust everywhere. Freezing cold. Working 6-7 days a week. Asshole union goonbahs. Cowardly and incompetent managers. http://www.lixlove.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/quitlol.gif

Wow! You've got balls...and more power to you. Good luck in the future. Just by reading your posts here, if you decide to work for someone else, they're getting a hell of a bright, industrious employee. The best of luck to you!!!!!

The album Underjordisk Tusmorke by Tusmorke is up on Progstreaming and it is epic! :haz:

Personally I think the setlist is amazing, but if given the keys to the kingdom i would switch out these: YYZ for Main Monkey Biz Bravado/The Pass for Working Them Angels Red Sector A for Losing It Manhattan Project/Dreamline for Ghost of a Chance

you know, i think we've all learned a valuable lesson here today. i don't know what that lesson is, but i am confident that we've learned it, and for now, that is enough.

Religulous was some of his best work I've seen.

GhostGirl, x'49', Sheldon, Bob, Steevo, treeduck, TM, Babycat, Your_Lion, librarian, snowdogged, LABT, Animate, Rick, Tinwoodsman, goose, default236 (who was there for #2112), drbirdsong. I think I got all of you. all of you :kisshug:

Losing It would be nice! :rush: The only problem is the amount of tears that would be shed by the audience, the auditorium staff would have to mop up during the interval!!

Thought I would just do this for fun, cause I am going nuts waiting for the 2013 CA tour dates.... my idea, compile a setlist of what I would want to hear for R40 without using the songs from the current 2012-13 tour....except Middletown Dreams, one of my all time favorites... also trying to pick songs not played too much from 2002-2013... R40 Overture: Finding my Way/Anthem/Bastille Day/Something for Nothing/A Farewell to Kings/La Villa Strangiato. freewill red barchetta countdown afterimage middletown dreams turn the page scars cold fire test for echo vapor trail malignant narcissism (short drum solo in middle) 2nd set hemispheres passage to bangkok closer to the heart trees xanadu (drum solo) natural science encore: long medley In the Mood/fly by night/by-tor/losing it/In the End/in the mood

I really wish they would make a bluray of this one. It was a great show!. I really like the extras. I pop it in every now and the to watch Te Boys In Brazil. The multi views are cool to. Maybe one day on Blu-Ray!!

Numbers are ok. Rush put out a pretty good album once called '2112'.. Who cares what the album is called anyway!?!?

Oops! Now according to RIAB, May is no longer accurate and it looks more like the fall of 2013. I actually prefer this since they might be able to add what ever songs they plan to switch out during the 2nd leg. Maybe its some really nice gems with strings! :rush: :haz: :rush: I would actually prefer the May release, then a second Clockwork Angels DVD of the 2013 tour. :o yeah, I just went there.

Good for you. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do. I had to quit a job in 1991 and it took me almost ten years to get back to the same level of success. It's still worth it. I can remember to this day how good it felt to get right in that asswipe's face and tell him to shove the job straight up his ass.

:cheers: Welcome! :rush: :haz: :cheers:

Too much music for vinyl but on my iPod, it's all one big album anyway. Lots of CA in today's mix for some reason, The Seeker, too - a great song. PeW has two "weak" tracks, imo. I'm one of the heretics who isn't a nut for JL. :o Cool riff to play and a nifty song to count to, but it is just a mediocre song to me. I recall reading/hearing sometime back that they didn't like they way it sounded live (I presume mixed with the rest of the material in the show). If that is true, I don't expect it anytime soon. And, I can only theorize it is a bit of a downer with a moderate rhythm and it is quite lengthy. They've done everything from PeW except Different Strings, at least I've never seen them do it live - which is too bad, I really like that song - but it is a weaker track on the album. A testament to how good the songs are on the rest of the album. TSOR and Freewill are staples and I always want to see them. Fantastic to see Entre Nous get some love last tour. NatSci is wonderful and wonderful and wonderful. Moving Pictures is in a different league. The opening side is a barrage with no rest. The texture on the second side is gorgeous. The Camera Eye! The focus is sharp in the city. Race the oncoming night and flow through streets of the city. Geddy's and Alex's tones during Alex's second solo are astounding. So round. So beefy. Witch Hunt slows a bit but lyrically is devastating - just think of how many great lyrics are contained in that 4+ minutes. Vital Signs. Again, that stellar tone and lyrically succinct. Geddy, Alex and Neil in their prime. You can mess with a classic, TBR, but why would you want to mess with MP or PeW? ;) Oyay, Cyg... "them there's fattin' words." Jacob's Ladder could be THE best Rush song ever. I think I'll have to challenge on that one... (You're still cool though.)

*tentative prod of a paw* :musicnote: What does this unknown word mean? I looked in the dictionary, couldn't find the word. I searched here, I searched there, Nary a word to be heard... :musicnote: Just made it up, it's ambivalence about the number thirteen Not to be confused with tristadekapathy. It's a condition where you just don't care about...ahh, f* it...

Hi girl - You look great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The fat transplant was a success.

I don't care for the type of movies being discussed, so for me.... when they wreck the Ferrari at the end of Ferris Bueller

Why would anyone want to move anywhere where there are so many Brewer and Packer fans?

Force 10 with Kid Gloves -- F10 has had plenty of live airtime over the years... Casual fan doesn't know either and crazies get another deep cut. Territories with Freewill -- liked this on first leg but thought energy level in crowd was low by this point...set needs a "hit" here Bravado/The Pass with Cut to the Chase -- a couple of songs that similar to F10 have had plenty of airtime... time to finally break this one out. Red Sector A with FBN -- not sure Geddy could pull this off but I say excuse the orchestra one song early and dust off an early classic. Flows well into end of show run of hits.

Kate: How come you don't hit on me anymore, Leo? When we were filming Titanic you were hitting on me all the time. Leo: Ha, are you serious? You got old, woman!

Damn, you really ARE bored, arent ya!

I guess nevermind - when I look from my phone, it all looks fine. Must be something about where the default image is located that is blocked by the office security. The only thing I can do is, when I see someone without an avatar, I go into their account and manually give them the stock silhouette one. I usually notice it after midnight when the new day's birthdays are listed, and then I fix them. I figure, once we get this first year with the new board out of the way, most of those people will have at least the stock avatar. Not sure where you have the default image located on the interwebs, but I see the same junk for people with the default image as I do for those with no image from the office. It must simply be that the default image location is being blocked by the internet security police here. When I look from my phone, I see the default image without issue. That stock silhouette avatar is hosted on Gravatar.com -- Invision boards are linked with them. If your work is blocking images from Gravatar, then that would explain your problem.

I'm not sure what that lesson is either, Goobs, but I do like your post..! :)

I would NEVER go to a chiropractor! When I started having back problems my wonderful HMO sent me to a chiro and he started adjusting my back, Never took x-rays or anything despite my protesting ( I was in my early 20's) and I ended up with 1 hip almost 8 inches higher than the other! It took over 6 months of physical therapy to bring my hips back in alignment. What I learned about chiro's from working in the medical field, is that they think they know how to treat everything and they don't! Most veer off the chiro specialty and try to become pain specialists etc. without the proper training to do so.

Welcome to the Hall!!! congrats! :ebert: :clap:

No, no, no! Find a good chiropractor. Keep looking until you find one. The right guy (sorry ladies, I've never heard of a woman doing that job) will give you almost instant relief. I had terrible back pain and my doc was smaller than me, but he snapped me back into place like I was a child. He quit taking my insurance and I just paid in cash. I haven't had to go back (hah) in over a year. It is worth the effort. At least give it a shot before surgery.

Purtty cool. I love what Google does with their logo. They have someone there with mad skills.

I have no experience, so I can't offer any guidance. But I hope that you find relief regardless of the path you choose. A good thought and a prayer. Mystic Rythm

Okay, Cygnus, you're staring to make me think this one through one more time... how about if we take The Camera Eye, remove it from MP and simply add it to PeW? Now, THAT would be THE best SOB of an effing dad gum, gosh dang it Rush album! See, I'm waaaaaaaaaaaay smarter than I think I thought I was!

:musicnote: The sun'll come out Tomorrow Bet your bottom dollar That tomorrow There'll be sun! Just thinkin' about Tomorrow Clears away the cobwebs, And the sorrow 'Til there's none! When I'm stuck a day That's gray, And lonely, I just stick out my chin And Grin, And Say, Oh The sun'll come out Tomorrow So ya gotta hang on 'Til tomorrow Come what may Tomorrow! Tomorrow! I love ya Tomorrow! You're always A day A way! :musicnote: Annie, all growed up!

Not many people know that Heath Ledger was not the first choice to play the part of the Joker in The Dark Knight. Their first choice, Betty White, pulled out at the last minute before the film started shooting.

I guess milk on Rush is a hot topic...COO-COO for coco puffs

I'LL BE having the baby BACK ribs...

1-0-0-1-0-0-1 spilled milk all over where the site is hosted. Unfortunately milk is not as good for electronic equipment as it is for your (and my) bones, so we had to start again from scratch. Since we weren't really sure where to start building a website as my experience with design is limited to finger painting and silly putty, it was something of a challenge. We started by instituting these new "like this" buttons which were undoubtedly stolen from Myspace or something. Fortunately we were able to get this new site up and running faster than an atheist at church. Glad to see you buddy.

Obviously I don't know the details of your situation, but if someone of the opposite sex tells you that you are too smart, and they are saying it in a negative way, you should immediately thank them for showing you that they are not worth your time.

I'd like to see them drop a couple of CA tracks (I'm not a huge fan of the album-sorry) and add something like Hemispheres -prelude....

Realistically, they can say now that the list won't change much and they may believe that. However, that doesn't mean that something won't be changed in rehearsals. Maybe there's a song that Alex wants to play or that Neil is tired of. Maybe Geddy thinks that song like Big Money is a little tough to reach. Once they get into it again, who knows what they'll come up with. The one thing for sure is that it won't be for us which is fine. I hope it changes. As much as I love them, I don't know if I'm shilling out big bucks to see the same show I saw in October. I LOVED the show. Just don't know if I want to see it twice. That's just me, but I would think im in the majority.

Why do men find it so inconceivable that women would like Rush, and not just because they find Geddy, Neil, and Alex attractive? They're an incredible band, and from what I gather, they're pretty respectful of women. As a female fan, it's refreshing not to have sexist lyrics or ideology constantly thrown at you.

It's not pining, it's passed on. This parrot is no more. It has ceased to be. It's expired and gone to meet its maker. This is a late parrot. It's a stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace. If you hadn't nailed it to the perch, it would be pushing up the daisies. It's rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-parrot.
