  1. Day of Light

    Presto!

    Ted Cruz looks like he's about to burst into tears at any moment.
  2. I really like the self-titled album. My first listen-through had zero highlights other than 3/4 through Illumination Theory, but second time around, with the sound a little higher, I can't really name a song I don't like. Mangini-era DT is strong.
  3. I'm a low-life, messy, non-sophisticated person, but I get my thesaurus online for free, and as it turns out, I have a lot of free time and I am very bored for most of that free time, so my vocabulary ends up not reflecting my class, lifestyle, or even how many books I read, because I have no attention span. I just like pretty words. They might be unrealistic, or they might be overly realistic depending on the angle you wish to take. :eyeroll: All I'm saying is describing what the writers are trying to sell. I see I need to add a few more lines to my signature.... Bruh, I didn't get offended, I was offering an explanation. ;) My explanation is that if the show is fairly recent, it might just be a representation of the blurring between class vocabularies that comes with the Internet, and globalization, and... oh who am I kidding, it's a tv show and the writers are probably just lazy
  4. When we lived in Ohio, people went nuts for "Sweetest Day", in the fall on October 15th. It was a day to be sweet to people you cared for in a non romantic way and kind of cute. It doesn't seem to have caught on elsewhere . . . . I'd be really cool for that to be a thing everywhere. Nobody gets enough platonic affection.

  6. It's never going to happen, but I'd like to see Shirley Manson sing with James Hetfield. Floor Jansen and Jorn Lande were really good together on 010011001

    Presto!

    That's a given, but I don't think any forum would exist if nobody ever gave any arguments for anything, ever. Discussion makes things fun. It lets people know other people better, and take a glimpse into the parts of their minds that they allow to show. So while explanations should never be necessary, I think they should be encouraged. If I cared only about my own opinions, I wouldn't be curious to know about what other people think, and I wouldn't ask questions. It's never been about objectively finding the "best" explanation. It's about exploration. Kind of what I like about this forum when compared to the Rush community on a site like Reddit. It's not an echo chamber. People are willing to talk, and they don't care enough about fake internet points to censor their real opinions for an amalgamation of the mildest, most popular ones combined with a faux-intellectual tone to sound like it's the only right way to think. I kind of went on a tangent, but it's been on my mind.

    Presto!

    Just make a poll with just those two songs. I don't see the big deal. The only issue I have with polls is what is the point? They lead some to pat each other in the back whilst the rest proudly don't care one iota if the least popular is their favourite. Whose mind is going to be changed by a poll? I mean, hopefully it'll lead to a bit of topic-centric discussion with people explaining why they picked their song instead of just announcing they picked it. That's the idea, at least.
  9. Why? What's so special about it? I like it a lot, but it's not that much better than any of his others that would warrant the outrageousness. Is it out of print? It being out of print doesn't explain this: http://i.imgur.com/xnTm0Jr.png They do have physical copies lying around in warehouses, it's just that it's 60$ at Chapters. They're trying to limit the supply for some reason. The rest of Peart's books are available for 15-25$
  10. Rush fans are getting prettier and prettier! Thanks, but it's not even a flattering picture. :) Tell me how you define 'flattering' because MW Dictionary agrees with me but not with your thoughts on your photo.....LOL "enhancing someone's appearance" I was saying that I look better in person. Har har har.
  11. Mankini, Mangina that guy's got the most unfortunate last name
  12. Disclaimer: I know very little about drums. It might just be me but Portnoy's drumming sounds a lot more thumpy than any other drummers'. It's kinda nice. I think it's what got me into DT originally: the thumpy drums and the tone of the Ibanez. Bap bap bap bap Portnoy's got a really good sound on Live at Budokan.
  13. Happy birthday to the father of 80% of last semester's biology class. :P
  14. When you have memorized the hairstyles, accessories and instrument brand of choice of every band member throughout every era. I specialize in Geddy spectacles.
  15. That kinda sounds like me right now.
  16. I haven't, but I'd like to hear it if it's good.
