Somebody once said, "The quote from The Rules of the Game, 'The awful thing about life is this: everyone has their reasons,' is a pretty great way to understand the world of internet message boarding."

I am here because I am bored during the day and do not enjoy interacting with real people. What are your reasons?

"The reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?" M. Renton.

Doesn't Pong ask this of us every few months? Are you encroaching on Pong's turf? Don't fuck with the Pongs.

I expect honest answers.
Alan posts here for the drug hook-ups and to keep in touch with his boys from Creepy D.

Who's next?

It's something to do.

Yeah. What he said.

i'm hoping Montana will teach me how to be a man.

I finally understand why you are all so passionate about this board.

I'm trying to set the guiness record for the most bland and forgettable music collection. Thanks for all the help, Simakos.

Bitches, man...

I'M GOING FOR THE FUCKING GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS FOR A LONG TRAIL OF SNOT, I'VE GOT TEN YARDS HERE FOR YOU TO PHOTOGRAPH AND IT'S ABOUT FUCKING TIME YOU STARTED BEHAVING LIKE A WIFE!!!

^^ Stockholm Syndrome

There are no joke answers in this thread. I have no reason to second guess your responses.

Simakos is also gay for Montana.
Montana likes neutered indie rock.
Brainstorm wants to meet a woman.
Mitchell is inscrutable.

How does this relate to anything? You've quite the hard-on for me recently.

I think everyone's at least a little gay for Motana - have you seen his feet?

well, foot.

The steakhouse boys, you mean. I like my drugs medium rare & the flatware must have heavy, authentic wood handles.

No, we all have quite the hard-n for Montana - can't you read?

Pong thinks you're Patty Hearst to Sausage's SLA.

My hard on was obscuring the '-ontana'

Mods, plz lock thread.

Great place to find out about shit.

Great place to aid others in finding out about shit.

Ditto for swapping stuff.

Also, the general majority of the people in here are pretty cool chaps that I'd be happy to have a cocktail with. Even those that act like hateful antagonistic bastards now and again. SOMB's full of the kind of folk who could have a conversation about the beachboys without mentioning kokomo as "good."

All and all, a pretty stellar place to trade ideas that don't suck dong. And to make dick jokes.

Not really. I just think you're funny.

I heard this place was a great place to meet women.
I was drawn in by the music discussion. The Music side of the board has been a very useful tool for discovering new music. The Etc. side, can be fairly amusing when the participants are not taking themselves too seriously.

Avoidance of "work."

started posting here cuz i was a fan of the show. stayed because it's still a great mix of assholes, dickheads and know it alls. great crowd

To read the occasional Burzum or Bruegel post.

You'll Have Had Your Hole. All Welsh, all day today. Inspired.

I post on message boards because most of my co-workers are right wing...uh...difficult...people I choose not to enage regularly. I can still get my work done speed-scanning threads about flatulence and Mark Lanegan, but I can't get my work done listening to co-workers spouting Archie Bunkerisms all day long.

Also, every eighth or ninth-hundred thread contains the smallest sliver of validation that I haven't wasted my tiny life insisting that things like New Model Army bonus tracks are IMPORTANT, dammit.

No. I have lots of BFFs on-line and he's just one of them.

I'd been lurking for awhile and thought I could make a contribution, and I find it fun to talk about music with others.

Waylon you stole my avatar idea.

I wanted to use this, though



Coy Rahm. Coquettish, even.




I'm here because in a former life I was a receptionist with my own computer and a lot of rage.

You can have it, I am almost ready to switch for the holidays.

I'm here for the fish.

Countdown until the inevitable snarky comment in response.

Folks don't usually call each other shitbags, cumslots, guttersluts, etc., on the first volley....

as in "ya know, if you like a band like The Doores, you MUUUUST be a weasel faced cumslot"


*I kid u not*

I don't see the problem.

Yeah, as I typed that I thought the same.

let the record show that this visionary was me

Another place to get my Regina George on.

L2R: Paves, Undo, Avec, SG, Deej, Feisty, Damo Suzuki

lol

Not the first time where my bros are visible in a picture while I'm just a mess of hair.

At least I was sucking your toe.

Shouldn't that be Tanya Hearst?

How come it's so easy to predict who will post in these threads?

I like to read about music and etc.. even though I've not kept up with lots of the newer bands -- it's kind of nice to know that what is written here will be read by lots of people you'll never meet, -- and the range and diversity of topics is pretty compelling --Also, I like to interject my Catholic/Christian beliefs into the mix to see how others will react to my viewpoint -- to present a minority viewpoint -- in some ways is more interesting -- I'm definitely not just "preaching to the choir".

Give yourself a little credit, Fender: Plenty of choristers among the SOMB feel the same as you about abortion and other faith-based issues.
















They just don't like you.

Oh well, I'm not liked -- when issues are debated back and forth it's nice to be liked, but it's not the main objective of presenting your viewpoint.

I like you Fender.

I'm a little bit more liberal as a Catholic though.

Couple examples: I think abortion is completely morally wrong and could never have one (in any case) but I wouldn't vote to rid of it because it's such excellent population control. I shake my head when I watch Catholic missionaries go into the most desolate communities of Africa to work with the people who have Aids (which you have to give the Catholics credit for) but then I see that they fight it with values and not condoms. The values stuff works ideally if everyone was educated, responsible, and followed through with moral duty; but, that's not human nature.

Lol, ok, that was a rant.

Wrong thread

http://soundopinions.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=15602

Haha. Asshole.

Also, wow at some of the nervous Simakos posts in that thread.

I like you too Some Girl -- and Waylon, Brainstorm, Ogowa, Mitchell, Duff, Paves, Twicks, Rob Gordon, Campaigner, Cool Rock, Slap Nutz, Hero, Dice, Pong, WesterMats, Montana, and lots more!!
Group Hug!!!! -- gosh, you guys will really hate me now....

I'm far too involved with my own self-hatred to worry about hating you.
