The Syndicate

Silicon Valley is about a bunch of stoner tech guys trying to get an upstart company going, and it is equally hilarious. They're both sort of raunchy, but nothing violent or explicit.

Game of Thrones is not for the faint of heart, for sure. I highly recommend the other two though.

Noted! Thank you, sir.

I loved Breaking Bad, so I can get past some squeamishness if the show is really outstanding, which is the only reason I'm still considering it.

Game of Thrones is a guilty pleasure. It's not compelling television in the same way that Breaking Bad is. I definitely recommend trying it out though. It's especially fun to binge-watch it.

Alright. All time favorite TV shows. What are they?

Oh, and I love your signature, by the way.

Lost
West Wing
Survivor
Chuck
Fringe.

That's my top 5. But I haven't actually finished Fringe yet.

Hey there, Golden! How's it going?

You people are boring because you're all dead.

NO U

I'm dead as well. Hi guys!

A dead llama has appeared! Hello there!

How was R40?

It was really awesome. Geddy's voice was in good form and they had a great, sometimes surprising setlist. My only complaint is that they didn't do Limelight.

I've seen Limelight 5 times, so I was OK with it. :P

Good to hear! I really enjoyed it too (understatement of the century).

The setlist was indeed sometimes surprising, it was awesome.

Hearing Hemispheres and Natural Science was really a treat.

Ah! I didn't hear Natural Science. We heard The Camera Eye instead. I heard Natural Science on Time Machine tour so it was cool.

I noticed they've been switching up a few songs each time.

I presume you had One Little Victory instead of How It Is then?

I don't know any songs after Roll the Bones.

That is a shame. You need to remedy that ASAP.

All I know is that sometimes you have to be wary of people who don't listen to latter day Rush.

I was actually surprised at how much of the newer stuff I enjoyed live. I may have to pick up Clockwork Angels.

Clockwork Angels is in my top 3 Rush albums, if I had to pick with a gun at my head.

I'm doing great! Sorry I disappeared, I went out for a run because I've been at the library all day

After reading along, I see what you've been up to. Rum time.

Oh shit, why did I bring this topic up. I like to be surprised by setlists.

All I know is that sometimes the truth is contrary, everything in Rush's catalog you thought you knew.

thellama73 wrote:Why does everyone except me have rum?

I don't have any rum actually. I have an unopened bottle of Japanese-made "Scotch", but it is a gift for my sister.

Sorry, MM, should have used spoilers.

That's okay. It wasn't the whole setlist or I would have skipped the post.

Listening to Blue Öyster Cult now in honor of this thread's name.

So vote in the poll?

Done.

I prefer the map that Carrie reads.

Oh my Suzy, my Suzy,
Why did we ever start?
It's morning now. You'd never know,
The gin, the gin glows in the dark!

I'm Schrodinger's golden. I'm simultaneously dead AND alive, and you won't know which until you open the damn hatch.

Golden!

What did you think of LA?

Yeah, Golden! What did you think of it?

What did you think of LA, Golden?

Golden, what was your opinion of LA?

LA is one of my favourite places to be.

I had so much fun in LA!

What you talking bout? I never been to Louisiana.

I'm so dead. Packing a fresh bowl in my own honor What's going on tonight zombies?

I haven't played in like years.

I know man it's so true. I'm sorry lol. Better luck next time

Turnip Head wrote:I'm so dead. Packing a fresh bowl in my own honor What's going on tonight zombies?

Nothing much. Relaxing after finishing a research paper last night (and this morning). Now I've got a couple days break before finals come.

Epignosis wrote:I haven't played in like years.

Killed Night 1, Night 2, and Night 3 in your last 3 games? Bummer dude.

Clockwork Angels is in my top 3 Rush albums, if I had to pick with a gun at my head.

Owing to the prompting from people in this thread, I just placed an order for Counterparts, Test For Echo, Vapor Trails (Remixed), Snakes and Arrows, and Clockwork Angels. My Rush discography is now complete excluding live albums and EPs.

You'll love them.

Was I right to get the remixed version of Vapor Trails? Ordinarily, I prefer to stick to the originals, but I have heard such terrible things about that original mix.

Probably. You can't go wrong with either.

I love the original Vapor Trails, but there's no denying it was mixed terribly. Objectively, the remixed version is better, but since I grew up loving the original mix, hearing the remixed versions sometimes is strange to me. It's exactly like when I watch episodes of The Simpsons now that include deleted scenes. Still amazing. Love them. But really strange when I see a scene that wasn't there in my hundreds of times watching them previously.

Considering you've never owned VT before, it's better for you to fall in love with the songs via the remixed version.

Does it have "Earthshine" on it?

Then you're good.
