  1. Oh come on...at least United is pretty cool. (said from the perspective of someone who sat on the basement bar and played air drums to it throughout her early teenage years)
  2. Your lack of beard is fine. But your eyebrows have some splainin' to do.
  3. Don't know much other than he passed away suddenly last week. Some of you will know him from CP days...or here. He didn't post a lot on TRF but he was here. Goodbye, BC. You will be missed.
  4. No need to make a list of my own...this is my list too.
  5. Permanent Waves wins by virtue of having Natural Science alone. What? Ok, fine, if you don't want my completely unbiased opinion. Fine, I'll go the long way around. :eyeroll: The Spirit of Radio Freewill Jacob's Ladder Limelight The Camera Eye Natural Science Special mention, though does go to Vital Signs, because it's in my top 6. But since Natural Science is #1well... So fine. What have we learned here? Told ya so...could've just bi-passed this futility completely and gone with my opening sentence.
  6. Glad someone did this^^^for me although I disagree with the last one lol...Grace is just waaay better Sorry...had it been another song, GUP may have had a landslide...but I happen to have a thing for Mystic Rhythms (I love the lyrical 'visual' imagery) and think Between the Wheels is *gasp* just ok. Oh, and now that I look at it my math is wrong...it's actually 7 to 1 so thanks but no thanks for quoting that for all posterity. :poke:
  7. Distant Early Warning > The Big Money Afterimage > Grand Designs Red Sector A > Manhattan Project The Enemy Within > Marathon The Body Electric > Territories Kid Gloves > Middletown Dreams Red Lenses > Emotion Detector Between the Wheels < Mystic Rhythms 8 to 1 in favor of GUP. Though I absolutely love The Big Money and Territories, I love Distant Early Warning and The Body Electric even more. Grace Under Pressure is just an all around excellent album.
  8. "Webster's"..* *snort* Ok, well, if this is happening, someone else better bring the marshmallows, because apparently I am going to be occupied.
  9. With maybe the exception of baseball (though it has it's similarities too, just more steps), they're all variations of the same game anyhow. Just how do you want to watch a group of people get some sort of device into a zone-like territory to accumulate points in a particular time-frame, against another group that (ostensibly) are supposed to be protecting that territory? Would you like it on ice, w/ feet, an odd shaped ball, w/ a stick, w/ hands, in a net, between posts? See? All the same game.
  10. Admittedly TFE and RTB fall fairly far down the list and are not the best albums in their discography by a long shot. But each one happened at a particularly point in my life to make them both ring nostalgic for me. Yeah, there are some stinkers on each, but there are also quite a few songs that I absolutely love. So yeah, not perfect, but also (to me, at least) worth not completely dismissing.
  11. I just got done reading 'A Cook's Tour', which is a very personable account of Bourdain's travels around the world...so this really shocked me and makes me so sad. I really liked Anthony Bourdain. I liked his attitude, his non-celebrity realism. He seemed very down to earth. A guy you could comfortably sit down, have a drink and tell stories with w/out any pretentiousness. RIP
  12. Jesus H. Christ, Get a grip. No one here called him ugly, or even implied it. Sickly and unhealthy, yes. And yes, even in black and white his nose is a heck of a lot darker than it was just a few years ago. It's a form of rosacea called rhinophyma, and while it's not caused from drinking, drinking can certainly exacerbate the condition. So the drinking in retirement thing has been implied. Looking ugly though? No, sorry, you're wrong. And our opinions on how he looks have absolutely nothing to do with any degree of fandom. And for Christ's sake it's you're not your, and their not there. Attacking someone for trying to do their part for peace on this board? Real classy. Where exactly in that post was she attacking anyone? when u say get a grip ur pretty much attacking the other party so I seriously don't know what kind of world you live in where telling someone to 'get a grip' is an attack. Because in my world it's usually used as a response to things getting too hysterical. But whatever, think what you will. No skin off my nose.
  13. Fishercat? I guess it's actually two words. Fisher cat. Nasty buggers... their cries sound like demons from hell. https://en.m.wikiped.../Fisher_(animal) Same family as a badger, wolverine, weasel, martin or ferret. Looks kind of like a small wolverine.
  14. Yes, I mentioned that. It's a form of rosacea called rhinophyma that effects the nose. Makes it swollen looking and darker (the nose), and is NOT caused by alcohol. However, that being said, alcohol can exacerbate the condition in people prone to having it.
  15. Cool. It's a very special thing to see that in person. I saw a momma black bear and two cubs in the wild when I was a kid. Thought it was the coolest thing ever. I still get excited when I see deer in the wild as well. And that's way more common than bears.

  17. From what I've read there are quite a few that (at least) post like they do.
  18. Cool. Very interesting. I love how he describes the cymbals in literary terms... As expressions in a sentence where the drums are the nouns and the verbs and the cymbals the connective tissue (the adjectives) that describe them.
  19. No, I agree. Not just his weight loss, or his nose, but the way he's carrying himself. He looks sickly.
  20. Oh look...something for both threads... Dog in Love with Kitty- Foxy Shazam
