The Syndicate

Here's my list. Most of the newer albums have failed to grab me, although I should listen to them again.

Hemispheres
A Farewell to Kings
Signals
Moving Pictures
Power Windows
Permanent Waves
2112
Caress of Steel
Grace Under Pressure
Presto
Counterparts
Vapor Trails
Clockwork Angels
Fly by Night
Test for Echo
Snakes & Arrows
Rush
Roll the Bones
Hold Your Fire

The ranking of Power Windows, Caress of Steel, and Signals in that list is criminal.

I have a question for Woodchuck.

Would you like me to teach you how to use [url] tags?

They don't have frogs in Japan. All frogs are from Hollywood, California, which is why they sounds like that in movies.

Who are you and what have you done with the real Kaeru?

Yeah yeah, BR just reminded me - that was on Revolution Mafia.

By the way, I don't know if you are aware, but Little Tiger posted over there recently.

I wish Little Tiger would come back here.

Have you ever smelled something funny and you couldn't tell what it was and then you found out what it was, and it wasn't what you expected? Tell us that story.

I'm in the credits of Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

Your move, Vazquez.

Why, do you want to ask her out? Creepy.

My apologies to both of you.

Never apologize.

Aw come on, Hawthorne is great!

I have a lot of nemeses, it seems.

Do Klaus Schulze albums count as TD solo records? I say no.

Rubycon
Phaedra
Stratosfear
Edgar Froase - Aqua
Zeit
Alpha Centauri



That's all I have.

I started out as a strict music reader and never had any ability to improvise until I started playing guitar and just picking up tunes by ear. Both approaches should be used together for maximum effectivosity.

also - Great Lakes Beer is a gift from heaven. I miss the Elliot Ness so much.

Great Lakes makes many fine beers. Elliot Ness is particularly good, but I have a certain fondness for Conway's Irish Ale.

Don't go off topic, you'll piss bea off.

I don't tell other people how to eat if they don't tell me how to eat (you'd be amazed at the harsh, unsolicited criticism my diet of Flamin' Hot Cheetos and Peanut Butter M&M's receives) so more power to ya, Canuck!

Amazing choice. I love that word too.

Metric or imperial?
Imperial

Not this time! Yay imperial!

I knew you'd get one right eventually.

I don't really listen to much music, but I like the Ramones, Rage Against The Machine and The Offspring.

So what's your story, Zeek?

We're learning about the good old Five Ws and when each angle is appropriate right now.

Ah yes, whither, whence, which, wherefore, and whom. Classic.

Only if I get to answer all the questions.

Why are all your guitars so sarcastic?

Epignosis wrote:Simon is my favorite. He likes video games, embarrasses people frequently, is very cheap to feed, is literate, and goes to sleep to the Bioshock Infinite soundtrack.

The other two have time to catch up to all that. Ephraim will come close and may surpass Simon as my favorite.

Abigail? No chance. She's a girl.

How many guitars do you own and which do most enjoy playing?

ok, fine, Mr. Hinter.

EVERYONE INTERROGATE ROB!

Rob, which of your children is your favorite and why?

I got lazy about continuing it and ran out of volunteers, especially since Splints got so few questions.

Then Daisy came back and I sort of hoped she would pick op the reins again.

Wrong answer.

Oh well, I'll get the next one.

You have an incredibly talented person who is presently in NO games right now....bumping a thread he's hardly participated in...

Bullzeye?

Lots of good books. Will have to check some of them out! Thanks I love book recommendations. I have a notebook I carry around mostly just to jot down books I want to read so will likely add some to the list

Also I share your love of languages

Big mistake, Fingersplints. Your post reminded me that this thread existed. Now you have to be interrogated.

EVERYBODY ASK FINGERSPLINTS QUESTIONS!

Is Rosetta Stone as good as everyone says it is? I am skeptical.

Spacedaisy wrote: 3. Beatles George song - It's All Too Much;

Mine too. Awesome.

You already had your turn, Bea! What are you, some kind of double dipper?

The interrogation room has been too quiet, so let's liven it up with a threat.

If no one else volunteers to be interrogated by Saturday, I am going to lock the thread forever!

Hey guys, you have a new target for interrogation. His name is Mister Rearranger!

I will go first:

What are your favorite things to rearrange?
Do you prefer to arrange things alphabetically, or by some other criteria such as color or genre?
You are a Mister now, but would you ever want a different title like Doctor, Professor, or even Mrs.?
What's the longest amount of time you've ever spent rearranging something?
Do you wish I would ask you something not related to your username?

No one told me it was my turn. There were two volunteers ahead of me, or so I thought. :P

You have to be alert for these things. No one tells you win you win the lottery either. You have to check.

What's stopping you from PMing her?

I have a question for Elohcin: why did you volunteer to be in the interrogation room and then not answer any questions?

Hey guys, it's time to interrogate Elohcin now. She is married to Rob, so there are doubtless a large number of dark secrets you can ask her about. And she has to be truthful because them's the rules.
