#2. You will always be at your desk with no meeting to attend to, listening to AM, when the 25-minute GYBE song comes on. (pfd)

#3. if #2 just played, then it's klause shultz. (dangerboy)

feel free to add.

PFD,

Thank you for beginning the codification of these laws...:rawk:

#4 Your bladder will begin to scream just before your request starts - prompting a bathroom trip... followed by one to the coffee pot - to cause a recycle in time for your next request. :flutter:

This is really just 1A - If not a "Meeting" some other task or call of nature will arise pulling you away from your listening pleasure, etc.

New Rule

#5 - You will always join AM right at the tail in of your favorite artist or song playing, especially if it's a long epic.

[RogorMortis]

#6 Rebuffering or loss of stream (LOS) will always occur when a free evening with no known obstacles in sight is available.

[PeterG]

#7 As you are about to request a song, SAM plays the artist first... and your request is 'put off' for hours.

[Rick and Roll]

These are great!

#8 Your request is next up.....after the Rickter Scale or the Gagliarchives ])

[TheFish]

#9 Someone will call on the phone and not stop talking till it's over.

[NorCalKurt]

#10 Log on to the Moon in the morning and request a song, loose track of time, realize you're late for work and miss your request and get in trouble with the powers that be. :aua: :deadhorse

[mossy]

#11 - Unless you have a monitor you don't care about, coffee (or any other beverage) should only be drunk when there is no conversation in the shoutbox. Otherwise, be fully aware that it is quite common to experience uncontrollable spitting/splattering urges when laughing with mouth full of beverage.

[podakayne]

#12 just as you hit your stride in the moon community and become a mainstay, your office will block the site ...truely :evil:

[DEzerov]

#13 poor office internet connection will collapse when your request is up next...
stoopid school corp. ITwits...

[podakayne]

#14 after being absent for months, when you get the opportunity to log on...everyone is:
14a. gone
14b. busy
14c. afk

[prickly]

#15. When you finally have decided to listen to one of those legendary Schulze epics, it comes The Loss Of The Factory (1:59)

[podakayne]

#17 when you're available to faff, some of your favorite people are not. (of course then you make new ones that disappear too 8O )

[dangerboy]

Dang, I was going to add that one.

[Yesspaz]

# 18. As soon as you think, "Man, we're playin good music today!" Spaz's request will play.


Beat that.

[progdirjim]

No matter how much time, money, and effort you put into running Aural Moon, people will create a 2 page (so far) thread COMPLAINING about it...`-( R)

Did I beat your's Spaz?:neener:

[Yesspaz]

Did I beat your's Spaz?:neener:Yes, based on the financial aspect alone. Although, to be fair, I don't think this is a complaint thread as much as a joke thread, ala Murphy's Law.

[KeithieW]

#19 No matter how many days off you have and get to Faff, the days that you can't get onto the Moon are the days that something REALLY interesting happens.

[Rick and Roll]

No matter how much time, money, and effort you put into running Aural Moon, people will create a 2 page (so far) thread COMPLAINING about it...`-( R)

Did I beat your's Spaz?:neener:

You may have but you didn't number it.

Spaz and I went the self-deprecating route (see # 8). Knowing Mr G's propenstity for a joke, that's what I think this thread is! It's pretty funny...

[PFD]

Yes, based on the financial aspect alone. Although, to be fair, I don't think this is a complaint thread as much as a joke thread, ala Murphy's Law.

Yeah, I started this thread purely as a joke...hope it's taken that way.

[Rick and Roll]

Yeah, I started this thread purely as a joke...hope it's taken that way.
oops I gave peter G credit for the thread....a thousand pardons (or a few hundred at least)

[PFD]

#20....When faffing with Vax, the conversation will inevitably turn into a rant against Microsoft and Windows.

[KeithieW]

#21 A thread has no credence unless Rick gets in a Kings X reference.

[progdirjim]

I hope you were joking Jim!

Nadina

I was definitely joking! I was hoping the ROFL and NEENER smileys would make that clear.

[OverHillandDale]

#22 - No :smirk: matter `-( how :( many ;) emotocons (8-D you :blush: put -> in a :???: post :p someone :smoooch: will :lurk: always R) take it :bang!: the ]) wrong :headscrat way, :deadhorse causing an :dogpile: emotional pileup. :eek:

[podakayne]

#23 All the really interesting threads have at least 1 or more "emotional pileups"

[Rick and Roll]

#24 The Larch

(ok Monty Python reference out of the way)

#25

Whenever a song plays with a hint of heaviness, someone will always compare it to Dream Theater.

[OverHillandDale]

#24 The Larch

(ok Monty Python reference out of the way)



The Larch - Ha! All we could do was DREAM of The Larch when our family of 30 lived in a shoebox in the gutter during the great snowstorm of '48! That dream was all the firewood we had.

[VAXman]

#24 The Larch

(ok Monty Python reference out of the way)

#25

Whenever a song plays with a hint of heaviness, someone will always compare it to Dream Theater.
Corollary to #25:

Whenever Dream Theater plays, someone will always compare it to prog. :eyes:

[podakayne]

#26 Just when you think it won't...it will...be mentioned (Dream Theater)
:rofl:

at least 2x :headscrat

[MrMagoo]

#18: your favorite epic has a 50-50 chance of getting cut into multiple tracks just long enough to have the right flavor & wrong context

[lotus]

# 18. As soon as you think, "Man, we're playin good music today!" Spaz's request will play.


Beat that.

Absolutelly right...:D:D

[PFD]

#18: your favorite epic has a 50-50 chance of getting cut into multiple tracks just long enough to have the right flavor & wrong context

I believe that should be #27

[podakayne]

#28 someone is always watching...keeping track and making corrections when when necessary :angel: (see above)

[progzealot]

#18 five minutes before your request the shroons kick in and the screen looks like a fish swimming.

[podakayne]

#29 and someone always continues to lose count :headscrat

#30 And the lovely, delectable poda always brings us back to Earth.......thanks man. ;) Fond memories there.

[OverHillandDale]

#31 - why is it that people working for you have to vacuum during your favorite song????

[VAXman]

#31 - why is it that people working for you have to vacuum during your favorite song????
It sucks, eh?

Pun intended!

[roger]

It sucks, eh?

Pun intended!

Eureka! Vax made a pun!

call Herbert Hoover!

[VAXman]

Eureka! Vax made a pun!

Hey, you don't smell so great yourself! ;)

[OverHillandDale]

I have another request coming up. You want me to call that guy back in to clean up your mess? :aua: :neener:

[dinosaur]

#31 The very day I pay off my credit card, AM posts a long list of new additions. -- Okay, only joking. I never pay off my credit card.

[Rick and Roll]

I do!

By the way I see you're # 208 on the Nearfest list...... :yougo

[VAXman]

I do!

How is it people NOT on the list know about this and those that are DO NOT?

[Rick and Roll]

How is it people NOT on the list know about this and those that are DO NOT?

Maybe it's because I AM (apologies to Tomas Bodin for stealing his album title) on the list, in the party at # 65. O_o

[VAXman]

They didn't notify anybody of the list nor where it is.

[NorCalKurt]

They didn't notify anybody of the list nor where it is.
Vax, "they" notified me yesterday morning via e mail. Got #181. :horsepoop oh well still can see good from back there. I see you didn't do as well this year. # 149. better than mine.

[VAXman]

What was the From: address? ...and the Subject:?

[Rick and Roll]

What was the From: address? ...and the Subject:?

I'll do another thread...hold on.

[VAXman]

I'll do another thread...hold on.
A simple answer here would have sufficed.

[Rick and Roll]

A simple answer here would have sufficed.

I did answer your question before. Anyway, I didn't want to deviate from this thread. Also, I thought you might want the url, since you said you didn't get the email (Bob is correct it arrived Sunday morning).

[VAXman]

I know the URL. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out since it's been the same, or a variation thereof, for the past several years. I'm more interested in why I didn't get a notice. This can be important when the lottery process for selecting seats ensues.

OK! Of course...the email did say "secret" implying it's not really. Unfortunately I can't answer your question...doesn't sound like any of us will be able to....good luck.

[dinosaur]

Yup, #206 ain't the best, but it could be worse. Rick, 65 should be be pretty good!

[KingRat]

#33 When your request plays you get so excited you drop your coffee on your box and %$)&%&@!
