Then perhaps you shouldn't have written them, eh? You expected everyone to bow before your greatness because you thought it would amuse you?

I hasten to assure you that you are, in fact, not the only person on this planet that enjoys bringing others down and otherwise making them look (for lack of a more suitable word) like drooling knuckle-draggers. I'd like to point out the thread titled 'Happy Family?' as started by one Old Sod.

Assuming, of course, that you can.

And since you listed your birthday as 2-30-1988, I have my doubts, but that's neither here nor there for the moment.

Let us proceed with this wonderful little ditty we're going through, shall we?

According to Dinosaur I was proud that that happened, even though it "backfired" on me. Funny.


OK, let's assume for a moment that you actually do know what you're talking about. Occasionally you DO seem to be able to formulate a coherent sentence, so I'd imagine that that glimmer in your eye is in fact intelligence and NOT the light of the sun streaming through a hole in the back of your head.

But since everyone's being serious now and not (for the most part) going after me any more,


Au contraire. I'm both quite non-serious and very much going after you. Since everyone else has taken the substance of this thread and actually turned it into something civil, it leaves me with naught but a bit of amusement before calling it an afternoon...

Quote:

I will attempt to be serious myself.


GAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!! *snort*

Oh, that's a good one!

Quote:

But the biggest reason I would like prog to be more popular (without the bad connotation) is to find an answer to the question, "If prog was mainstream, what would crazy people like us listen to?"


If you're ACTUALLY being serious and ACTUALLY asking this without attempting to flame, or otherwise act like a chowderhead, I think the answer is quite simple: prog.

If you listen to a given bit of music based on what anyone else thinks of it, you're not crazy. You're not 'Unique'. You're a sheep. Pure and simple. If you listen to prog because everyone else doesn't, then perhaps I might want to direct you to the International section of your nearest Record Shoppe. I'm sure that they have a wide selection of Peruvian Alpaca Herder's music, or maybe "Polkas for Pythons" by the Burmese National Boys Choir. Nobody here listens to that! That in and of itself has GOT to be a solid recommendation based on your above paragraph.

I also find it rather amusing that you pretend to speak for "us" as in "crazy people like us". You got a dwarf in your pocket (ObBadFollowUp: Or are you just glad to see me?)?

Now to defending myself.
Limp, tepid attempt at self justification deleted


Sorry, this is getting too long as it is, and Mrs. Lee is waiting for me.

it was fun to write.


I again direct you to the thread called "Happy Family?" started by one Old Sod. I assure you, you are NOT the only one that enjoys ripping people new ones. Perhaps you can comment on that? Perhaps BEFORE I remove all the Dream Theater from the station? Not that I mind having it on here, you see. I certainly wouldn't do it permanently. Just long enough for you to notice, and perhaps fill that pair of Spiderman Underoos that you borrowed from Old Sod.

Have a nice day, and remember: Smile!

Roger -Dot- Lee, hugs 'n kissies!
