Slayer's Seemingly Sweet and Socially Silly Random Banter # 107

[Thufir]

How about we talk about those damn highschoolers who like to smoke next to my apartment because its located right by their parking lot.

They also love to just throw their empty cig-packs on the grass.

For me it was the corner between my street and the high school. Presumably it still is, just I don't have to go that way any more. Horrible.

And Jibar is indeed awesome. I will never look at hats with corks on quite the same way again...

Soo. I've pulled together a band. We will play one song: Viva La Vida, by Coldplay. I'll be on bass guitar and vocals... We've got tons of time to practise before the talent show.

This'll be fun, but do you other band geeks have any advice for me?

Pay attention to your other people. Particularly if you're the bassist, because you, along with the drummer, control the flow of the song. Get to know the other people, and make sure you're keeping good time before you start singing/while you're singing/etc. Good luck, and godspeed.

"Viva La Vida" uses next to no percussion...

And I do know the others fairly well, so that's good...
I'll have to remember to keep a steady beat and all, I suppose.

Well, I'm off to rest my weary head on a midnight dreary.
See you all in about 6-7 hours if I fall asleep when I want to.

You need a good band name.

I suggest "Real Smooth Moves".
Or maybe "The Screaming Sociopaths".

I'm a fan of silly two word band names that don't make much sense but are totally awesome in retrospect.

Things like "Electric Chandelier" and "Extra Crispy" and "Unskippable Cutscene". I would so totally listen to a band called "Unskippable Cutscene".

[Cristo Meyers]

I'd name a band "You Suck!"

That way, when the crowd inevitably starts chanting "You Suck!" because of our complete inability to play music, it'll sound like they're chanting our name.

[UncleWolf]

Wow, I go to bed and only 3 people post after me. That's kinda sad.

[TwoBitWriter]

Was it Dave Barry that had a list of great band names?

Edit: Listening to MacArthur Park right now, Richard Harris version. That song is so delightfully narmy...

Pretty much how I feel every time I look at the recruitment thread for Fears 2...

"You have to run this game! You have to run this game!"

One night later...3 people have signed up...

So encouraging. I guess the rapid-fire sign-ups for Graverobbers spoiled me...

[Player_Zero]

Take pride in your music! With a DON!

Dig a hole to pierce the heavens! If you break through it is your victory!

I mean- You'll do fine, I'm sure.

You'll get more people, I think it would be a kinda slow sign-up for any games right now because of the holiday coming up.

I'm just spoiled I guess. Last game got almost 50 players, I'm sitting on 23 with only a week left in recruitment.

Bah, I'm whining again...

The youth of today have no moral fibre at all! *harrumph*

ION:

• it could be worse
• Japanese train graphitti
• Ruin Value in architecture
• Russian roundships and illiterate wartime sheep
• Lego D&D monsters
• 2 disk steampunk compilation
• Man dies in incontinence pants inferno
• Venn confusion

Because even in /rb/ posts should have content.

I still haven't figured out how you do online roleplaying 'round these parts... What mystical devilry is employed by ones so arcane in their practice I wonder...

Kind of a shame since I'm the rootin'est tootin'est pirate in town an' all.

[UncleWolf]

*starts clawing the carpet*

So much for the hand crafted Persian.

[Cristo Meyers]

You'd rather I use you?

Ya know, I'm not sure either, I just kinda fell into it over the summer.

[UncleWolf]

You could try...
*bares teeth*

[Cristo Meyers]

You could try...
*bares teeth*

Just like cats and dogs...

...wait.

[Player_Zero]

"You would rather I used you"
"You could try... *bares teeth*"

And then they kiss, right?

[Cristo Meyers]

"You would rather I used you"

...hush you. Stop pointing out my stupidity.

Crap.
I can here the ship bells from here.

...as if it needed to be pointed out...

[Reinholdt]

Ooh. *holds this over Cristo's head in case he tries anything funny*

Like you're not holding enough over my head...

Remember "That explains my obsession with yarn"?

[Reinholdt]

I'm a cat. Do I look like I remember things?

Thanks for reminding me, though. I'll go write that down so I don't forget again.

[randman22222]

We don't even need a name for our band. We're playing one song at a talent show.

Bah, anything worth doing is worth over-doing: band name, costumes, big hair...

...I'm dating myself, aren't I?

Not yet, but with my new Clone-A-thon 9000^TM, you could be!
