Great... now I'm gonna have to answer questions about a band I couldn't give a rat's ass about.

Who? I've never heard of that band and if you don't care then why did you post this?

Because my preferred style of music is something vaguely similar to what they play, and it's inevitably going to reflect badly on me and anyone else who listens to it.

Meh. I've never heard of them, and I don't care to ask about them.

Interesting story, though. I guess.

Aren't bouncers hired to prevent these kinds of things?

It's like what happened at the Pacers/Pistons game...

"Where on earth is arena security?!"

But that's beside the point.

Remember the huge fuss the media made over how violent hip hop is after Tupac was killed?
Just imagine the kind of shit they'll spin when they get their hands on this story.

Aren't we overreacting about nothing, sweetheart? Seriously, now...

I repeat:



And I didn't bring this up because I'm afraid of what it'll bring about... I brought this up just as a crazy news item. Nothing more, nothing less.

*nods head* A~h... I see... well, don't worry about it. And, yeah, it is crazy... and, um, hip-hop tends to be violent in the lyrics, true. And rather sexually explicit. I should know cuz, like, I listen to Nelly, 50-Cent, Usher, etc...

Yes. But those have nothing on a lot of the stuff I listen to.

As a suburban housewife, you compare the lyrics of 50 Cent's "Rotten Apple" to oh, say Suffocation's "Deceit"... which are you gonna find more horrifying?

So we can post any crazy news item here? Regardless of the century/decade/year/month/week/day/hour/minute/second/nanosecond it happened?

*pouts* And who's the housewife, pray tell?

Hmmm... maybe you're right... but didja ever listen to 50's "P.I.M.P"? Or, I forgot who sung it... the song "Spalsh Waterfalls"? Good God, it is SICK...

I meant the housewife thing theoretically, dammit!


And no, I'm not familiar with those songs. I just picked a 50 Cent song at random and looked up the lyrics.

Sure, why not?

By the power vested in me by the unholy lord of night RaguRagla, I hereby anoint this the official 'Crazy news item' thread.

Oh God... Mommy, you juss HAD to start it, huh?

I am AWARE that it was theoretical, Bacon... I'm not as NAIVE as you think I am, you know... I juss hate the term "housewife"... It reminds me of many unpleasant things I've seen before... *lips quiver...*

Not a crazy news item, but worthy of note, at the very least:

What are your thoughts on this? Does it look promising? Discuss.

She didn't start nothin', so relax.

By the way, check your privates.

errr... private messages... [braces for flurry of flying fists]

Couldn't resist, could you, Bacon?

No... No, I couldn't


[starts crying]

I'M SO WEEEEEAAAAK!

*pats him on the head* It's ok . . . it's ok . . .

No, you don't say?

And, oh, thanks, by the way... it's real sweet of you...

This thing's already making international news. All the major U.S. organizations have picked it up, and some foreign ones, too.

Buckle up, friends, this is gonna get ugly.

*sigh* If it happens, it happens... *hugs Bacon* Awww, don't feel bad about it...

I'm not feeling bad at all. I've preemptively distanced myself from everything.

Off-topic:

I think there should be the Blingbling-Bacon thread.

It's bad enough as it is! Bacon and I do NOT need our thread...

Yes, otherwise, it would just be more spam.

But apparently you two need a room.

Don't encourage us, damn you!

I'm trying to get back on topic.

This is gonna have huge fallout for club shows of all kinds.

I'm wondering what kind of shitty place this was where the guy could carry in a concealed weapon.

MOMMY!!! *points to above post* TELL THAT SICKO TO STOP!!!

-EDIT-

Bacon, I wasn't referring to you, incidentally.. I have a feeling it's Gassy in disguise...

Er, I do believe it IS Gashole.

perceptive...

Gosh, it's bad enough with Kouga taunting us, dammit... *cracks knuckles*

I wouldn't call what Kouga does 'taunting'...

Back on topic: I'm now hearing from a few of my friends how they don't even get patted down before entering a club. That's frickin' scary.

What exactly does "patted down" mean?

You know, frisked...

They check you for contraband on your person.

It means getting check by the bouncers, like at the airport and stuff...
*shrugs* They do it all the time at the clubs...

Ohh, I see. Then I guess it would be rather scary if the club you're going to doesn't do that.

Yup. They always do it at clubs here... at least larger ones... But it's scary that they wouldn't pat people down for a show like that... Damageplan is pretty popular, so I would think they'd play a fairly large venue...

*nods head* Yeah...

Y'know, in the Philippines when I went this summer, they had that... juss to get in to the malls, too!

I just realized something... John Lennon was shot on this date, 24 years ago.

Freaky!

Bacon, you are getting on my frayed nerves AGAIN...

Huh? How?

*shouts head off* ...

All weapons must be licensed on these forums. I'll be confiscating that. *takes Angel's gun away*

John Lennon, eh? You don't say. Interesting.

...I seeing stars mommy...

...yeah...whatever...*zzzZZZzzz*

Mommy! I don't even HAVE a gun... *wails and runs to Daddy Zio*

I'm impressed at the way you manage to make everything I say innocently dirty.

*slaps forehead... gets bruised* Good GRIEF... Bacon and I flirt ENOUGH as it is ALREADY... taking a room is nothing, so quit it!

"Get a room" is dirty in and of itself.

hi-five!
