  1. It was a bright sunny day In the middle of night When two dead boys got up to fight Back to back they faced each other Pulled swords and shot each other A deaf police man heard the noise And came and killed the two dead boys If you don't believe my tale is true Ask the blind man, He saw it too
  2. I wanted something Rush related and personal at the same time. I have been working with computers for the last 20 years. I do networks, servers, email etc. so Digital Man fit well. It's hard to see on the small avatar but my 'name' at the bottom is in 'computer' font.
  3. No, it's not normal at all; at least not from my experience.
  4. First, the original question: NO! To add to Sunny's post about eating better. We also try not to eat anything processed, things prepared or the just add water and heat kinds of things; Things with all the ingredients in the box already. I found that eating more 'whole foods' this way I get hungry less often, the meals keep me satisfied longer through the day. When we started this I thought sugar was going to be hard, I was a chocoholic. Turns out carbs are way harder than I though they would be. We still eat but try to eat them but in their natural forms like rice or potatoes. If we eat bread we do our best to not eat white.
  5. That's right!!! and Everybody's workin' for ti.
  6. Not me, But when I was 9. I burned down the whole back yard. Got my a** Whooped for that. :P Haha! Oh...I mean, ummm...sorry to hear that. Reminds me, I don't know why, of something that happened to a (not very bright) friend of mine, when we were about 13-14 years old...sitting in health class, which was taught by a guy who also taught phys. ed...big, muscular, sports coach; a guy with whom I would not want to tussle in a dark alley. At any rate, he was talking about something, and my very dim friend sat in the front row, and held his first finger up in the air vertically, and started twirling it around in little circles, as if to say, "big deal", you know, something like that...and the teacher says, angrily, "You want to bring that finger up here, and I'll break it for you?!" And so the kid stands up, walks up, with his finger still held up in the air, and the teacher takes his whole hand and starts wrenching it around, and does, in fact, break it. The kid came in the next day with a splint on that first finger that went about half way up his forearm. Teachers used to be able to do those kinds of things when were kids and our parents didn't threaten anyone about it. IT taught you there were consequences to acting like a dumbass to people you should have a bit of respect for.
  7. I have a few of these...enough that sundog had me add DangerProne as my middle name on facebook, and if you think about that statement you can see I still do some today. There's a really stupid game where one guy shoots an arrow straight up in the air and the 5-6 guys around him try to catch it on the way down...One of the guys in our group was into archery so...how none never got hurt I can not guess. We all had bmx bikes and we would build jumps for them and see who could go the farthest. One day we got the idea for the kids not jumping at the moment to lie down at the back side of the ramp and we'd 3, 4 5 guys there for the other kid to jump over ala Evil Kenevil and the busses. The parents soon saw us and that game ended quickly.
  8. Just because one can squeeze into something does not mean one should wear it. I hate seeing women wear a tight pair of pants with tummy overflow. It would be far more attractive and flattering if they understood how to wear appropriate fitting clothes. One of the funniest - and grossest and saddest - things I have ever encountered was our CFO in a pair of Daisy Dukes. I feel sort of bad for even telling this story, because she is so sweet and would do anything for anyone. But she has zero sense when it comes to wardrobe (and this is coming from someone who hardly qualifies as a fashionista herself). She is in her 60's and overweight. Her thighs, OMG her thighs - you could have served soup in the cellulite craters. It looked like the surface of the moon. There were so many levels of wrong going on there. I do love a man who dresses sharply. Current sort-of SO has to wear suits to work, and just about everything he has is custom tailored. The first time I saw him in his work attire I almost wet the floor. I've said this before and I will say it a million times over... a man in a nice suit does to a woman what lingerie does to a man. If a guy ever wants a dose of female attention, just put on a nicely tailored suit and walk around. Women will flock. Now, as for your CFO... oh dear. You still need to do a full body mirror check before leaving the house. There's one thing to have body confidence but be realistic about your appearance. People will judge. And go on message boards years later recounting the time they could have eaten soup out of your meaty thigh dimples. ;) Oh, it was painful to see. The funniest part was the reaction from my boss at the time. She and I were standing at my desk redlining some plans; we had our heads down, totally engrossed in what we were doing. Boss happened to glance up just as CFO paraded by in her Daisy Dukes. "Oh my fu.cking God!" flew out of her mouth before she could stop it - and she is LOUD! Fortunately CFO didn't catch on that her appearance was the reason for the epithet. You should have said, "Does anybody have some Campbell's and a spoon?" You two are seriously ruining soup for me.
  9. It's Them, Those people, They made it happen.
  10. I do know it was 1982 during the summer before Signals was released.
  11. I don't remember exactly how I discovered them. I know Permanent Waves is the first album I heard and it blew me away. I wore out two cassettes of it through out high school though.
  12. Hey JR, was this an accident? :laughing guy: You post Chevy, Chevy, Chevy, Chevy, Chevy, FORD, Chevy, Chevy, Chevy, Chevy. Mind you, the Mustang is MY personal favorite, 66-68.
  13. Isn't that heartwarming? :) That's likely an extreme variation on the Garcia Effect, where whatever preceded a violent case of nausea becomes associated with that feeling. Eat or drink something and get sick, and you're likely to get that reaction without having to ingest the substance. Chinese food + food poisoning, or Tequila + the dry heaves. Too random examples not connected to my personal history at all. I had this with cantaloup for years. I had it for breakfast and ended up coming down with the flu later that day. I couldn't eat it for almost 20 years. Just started eating it a few years ago, but it was slow going at first.
  14. I have a picture disc, got it on ebay years ago.
  15. I'm not a frequent flier here, so what's the news? Rush tickets or something tangible or maybe human? :) It's very personal good news, but of the best kind. ;) So you share it, but you don't share it? The Hell is that all about? ;) The clues are all there, if you know what to look for. I bet I am looking down to much and that ain't easy to do with those lovely eyes and gorgeous face... :sigh: Dude, you think it's hard in a picture....in person is a whole different world.
  16. This is a pretty good explanation as to why people do it: When we lift the covers from our feelings We expose our insecure spots It causes people to think and feel and be real, and that scares a lot of people.
  17. I tell Sunny everyday, multiple times and I mean every letter of it. I should say it to my kids more often though. With my Mom yes (again like a lot here moreso after my brother died), but like most not with my Dad.
  18. I guess if you only include RUSH and Fly By Night, then yes maybe you're close. I'm not sure how anyone could call their next four albums kind of basic bar band. She didn't say they were bar band material, she said in comparison to the more instrumentally accomplished bands their playing was bar band worthy...IN COMPARISON. And, erm, I disagree with that to be honest. But I get where she is coming from. You should disagree with her. How much more instrumentally accomplished can you get past 2112 or La Villa?

  20. This is/was me. My fashion idea used to be: look down at myself before leaving the house, make sure I have enough clothes on to cover all necessary parts. If yes, leave the house; if no, put on more clothes. I graduated to 95% wearing shorts 90%, when I wasn't at work, and Hawaiian shirts ( I had about 25 of them). Then I met Sunny and she makes sure I am dressed well all the time.
  21. Never seen one of those before -- a Goblin Shark. I guess regular sharks weren't scary enough? Goblin sharks are UGLY. Most sharks are cool looking, these are just nasty.
  22. Was he a big fan of the TV show Jackass? Or is his username from somewhere else.
  23. Nigel Tufnel - This is Spinal Tap
