Random Thoughts From Out of Nowhere

that's impressive Viola, congrats. was it for a particular reason or just for fun?

I might have put in a 6th of that the other day hauling around a stump grinder and I've been basically fucked for the last 24 hours... i don't think my legs would work after 6 miles in a row even without the grinder

[Destron D-69]

not with a stump grinder i wouldn't

 

[Caldwin]

Yeah, that...that's fair.

I walked nearly 6 miles today.

So was it, three miles there and back again, along with a Hobbit named Sam?

 

[Princess Viola]

Now I got a blister on my toe from walking too much (I walked about 4 miles today).

Ah, the weekend. When you have a chance to finally get some extra sleep in the morning if you can ignore the sound of lawnmowers and chainsaws.

 

[Spin-Out]

chainsaw-wielding maniacs are just a part of life here fnu

 

[Caldwin]

I work on Saturdays.

 

[Superomegaprime]

I rarely get the weekend off from work, but I do get other days in the week off from work, thou the next few weeks are going to be busy with the approch to the annual winter event we all call Christmas

I just briefly scrolled through the list of movies I own digitally on Amazon. I have quite a few movies I've been wanting to watch again but completely forgot I already own.

I'm going to need to make a spreadsheet.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

I'm like that, but with physical boxes of movies. I don't know where they all came from.

 

[Superomegaprime]

Its best to have physical copies of movies or TV shows because Streaming isn't the best because they could take it down at a moment notice and you would have to wait years before they put them back up, if they ever do, because they could end up like the Willow TV show, a tax write off, meaning that it has effectively been destoryed and will never see the light of day again

 

[Princess Viola]

Or you can just pirate shit like I do.

I buy the stuff I really want and pirate everything else if it ain't on a free streaming service.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

I definitely support piracy for any media that isn't available on physical copies. Nothing should be at risk of becoming lost media because the current head of a company feels like it one day.

Metal singers must all be part Muppet since they all end up sounding like either Cookie Monster or post-puberty Elmo

This was touched upon in Brian Posehn's "Metal By Numbers", as I recall....

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Metal singers, especially black and death metal, put a lot of strain on their vocal cords. If you listen to bands that have been around for a while, compare their earlier work to their later and you can really tell. They tend to pitch upwards after a while because they literally can't keep the same growling sounds up forever. Even with shorter-lived acts, like Dethklok from the show Metalocalypse, if you compare the first Dethalbum (songs like Go Into the Water or Fansong) to the third (The Galaxy or (very NSFW) I Ejaculate Fire), you can tell his pitch has changed.

And that's without even accounting for the well-known tendency for musicians to get into all kinds of drugs and other destructive habits.
