I've been looking for a comprehensive website all about prog music, but I can't seem to find one. I'm forced to assume one doesn't exist.

Can someone please confirm/deny?

Can confirm, ProgArchives is pretty far from comprehensive.

Well that troll attempt failed.

Since you're on PA does that mean I can quit fb now?

Mongoose is on PA?

My excitement cannot be fully expressed.

http://www.decemberists.com/

Any recommendations where to start with them? I bought their EP "Long Live the King" (because it was a couple bucks), but learned that it is only outtakes from the studio album. I haven't listened to it yet, with the intent to start somewhere else. Thoughts?

I have an insured ER visit that I've already paid the co-pay for, but I still keep getting bills in the mail.

TBD.

Cold-blooded murder mystery?

Nay, I'm eating grilled cheese panini while I try to type a paper and continue to distract myself with mafia.

We definitely don't get real Cuban bread in Eugene. But we're still going to call it a panini dammit.

Nothing compares to your sig mate.

That reminds me. We had a drill back in the spring to practice proper protocol if a rogue armed gunmen appeared on campus. We're supposed to quickly line up our desks near the classroom wall to create a barrier and secure ourselves behind them. Then someone (I volunteered for it) had to call the campus emergency hotline to warn the campus police. Well we did all of this, and I went ahead and called the number like we were supposed to. The lady who picked up flipped out on me for actually calling. Apparently we were only supposed to do part of the whole drill.

People sure are hard to please.

Yeah, maybe I'm old, but FUCK YOU NARCISSISTIC ASSHOLES.

I live in a subculture where people don't do things like that, so I keep forgetting that there are people that actually do, and a lot of them.

Furries?

Yes. Would you like to see my buttocks?

I was supposed to catch a flight home today to Cincinnati, but I was (unwillingly) bumped off the flight because it was overbooked. So now I've got a check for $1000 and am catching a later flight to Ohio.

Christmas present from Delta!

Now I have all this time to kill waiting in the airport though.

MattMatt, I can't find any words (or smilies) that can describe the cuteness of that llama.

If you were at a bar with Alex, would you get him drfunk?

I was thinking of dear vompernoodles recently.

I was playing Apples-to-Apples, and the adjective 'expensive' came up. I happened to have the 'Finland' card in my hand, so I played it. My family didn't understand my amusement, but I don't care. I thought it was funny, and ture.

It's Logan!

I saw that picture when I was shopping a couple weeks ago. Your video of Rob reminded me to post it Alex.

One does not simply walk into Mordor.

You could even have your honeymoon in the car.

While the rest of the country is getting blasted. It's still 55 and sunny here in Oregon.

Understandable

But I'm glad I don't have a 4 hour commute.

I do the bicycle/bus hybrid. It's nice to have a bike handy.

I haven't been behind the wheel of a car for almost 10 years now, and I don't miss it one bit. Granted, the city I currently live in is not exactly designed with the cyclist in mind (and the local motorists sure as hell haven't figured out how to share the fucking road), but with a combo of public transit and my trusted steed, there's really no need to own/drive a car here.

(The only exception to that is when I want/need to get away to the mountains...but that's what the boyfriend's car is for, right? :giggle: )

Every bit of this is exactly how I feel, except replace boyfriend with friend in my case.

thellama73 wrote:I haven't driven a car in fourteen years, but I also hate cyclists.

I can understand the hate for some cyclists. But like many generalizations, the whole community is not reflected by those few.

fingersplints wrote:We have many here and the majority of them think they should have the rights of both a car and a pedestrian.

Well they kinda do. The law suggests that they ride on the road, especially if there are no bike lanes or shoulders. But also, cops don't pull them over for running stop signs or red lights. So yes cyclists take advantage of this (I do too, but with safety in mind), but cities aren't currently set up for cyclists to get where they need to, so for now, that is the only option.

But the more bikers there are, the less congestion from automobiles there will be, theoretically.

Rib?

Epigribnosis?

I know what I'm having for dinner now.

I want some beer also.

I'll certainly have some tomorrow

In fact, I don't care for juice much anymore. Milk based smoothies are good though.

What do you do with urine flavored bears? Cover yourself in honey and let them lick you?

Hahaha, my niece and nephew do the same thing to each other on Minecraft. They love picking on each other, even in cyberspace.

I never noticed that before. Perhaps you are a closet sadist? Or perhaps you have a cult following of mafia geeks that gather at your shrine to pay homage and procure the annual sacrifice?

Bea, I expect you to make time in your busy schedule for when I run my Craft Beer Mafia game. It probably won't happen until fall.

How's the new gig?
