Is this another time I should be grateful I have dial up or not?

 

It's kind of cool listening to Neil, but I could do without the other dweebs. I don't know how I missed this when it was on, except that wasn't a big fan of the show.

I scanned for parts focused on Neil. He's such a brainiac! Watching this makes it easier to understand his discomfort with fans...and people in general. Who talks like this?

He is definitely the most articulate person on the show! He would be such a fun person to shoot the breeze with.

37F here in North Dakota. That's about 25 degrees above the average high. Practically tropical! :7up:

I'm really loving tUnE-yArDs, the work of musician Merrill Garbus. It's sort of a one-woman thing (with a little outside help and a loop station), and it's very infectious and expressive music. You guys dig?

You might never guess.... but Fargo is pronounced Far-go. :o

Ok, one town in North Dakota that actually has an unclear pronunciation is Mandan. It's just pronounced Man-Dan, but sometimes visitors call it Man-din.

How about Wahpeton?

This one is actually kind of hard to write out!

 

Wah-peh-ton

 

The vowels in peh and ton are barely noticeable and only subtly different, but it's three syllables. The real phonetic way to write it out is wah-pə-tən

 

I did the American Legion Boys State back in high school, and it was held there at the North Dakota State College of Science. :7up:

Frilly aprons are a sign of masculinity.

I think if we can have a My Little Pony thread, I'll just see how much traction a frilly apron thread might have!

 

Yeah, 3 years of this cartoon goat-worship (sorry, but those things look like goats) thread is not worth celebrating.

 

I'd love to see South Park take it to the Bronies.

Did I say I was celebrating?

 

Your avatar implicates you. :P

Darn it, ya got me!

This thread is over 3 years old.

Duke for me. But I really like Abacab and ATTW3. Deep in the Motherlode is one of my favorites!

Face Up for me - just plain uninspired. How that song made the cut I do not know but I'm just going to blame Rupert Hine. Getting him back to produce RTB has got to be up there as one of the worst decisions made in the band's history I think.

I really like Face Up...

 

But I like The Big Wheel a lot better. And Dreamline. And Bravado is beautiful.

For me, it's Speed of Love, hands down.

 

I'm just going to take this moment to say that I actually loooooove Hand Over Fist. Rush at the top their game. Seriously.

Kudzu! We miss you, bro.

My Brightest Diamond has a new album coming out, and that has me excited. I'm also looking forward to the new Opeth. As far as 2013 releases, I really enjoyed Arcade Fire's Reflektor and Steven Wilson's The Raven Who Refused to Sing and Other Stories.

Thanks everyone! :)

#73 would be proud!!

Ended up in Denver for a seminar and finally tried it on one of my days off... and I liked it so much, it turned into TWO of my days off..... :smoke:

Friends through eternity,

Loyalty, honesty,

We'll stay together,

Through thick or thin.

Friends forever,

We'll be together,

We're on top,

Cause we play to win.

Gross, Space Aliens for North Dakota. JL Beers is so much better.

 

Also, I remember Steak and Shake from my time in Indiana. Only went there once.

I mainly use it to keep up with people who live really far away from me, and I follow music groups that I like because they often post their tour dates on Facebook as soon as they come out. I also use it to send links to my close friends; not everyone I know has a smartphone, so SMS doesn't always work for sharing that kind of stuff, and everyone in my generation hates email. And very occasionally, if I have an important announcement to make (like if I'm having a recital or I'm moving), I will post about it.

High between 55-65, low between 40-45. Occasional showers with periods of sunshine (or overcast all day is fine too). Calm.
