Heh.

It's just one of those differences. Jacket means a coat over here. I'm sure it does over there as well but does not equivalate it to the potato skin unless you are reading an old cookbook which tells to you cook 'in jacket' to poach the potato.

I must remember to weld a few manhole covers shut while I'm in London. That'll give the trolls something to think about.

Just bring a billy goat as a scacifice.

Yes... yes it is. I think as murders go in Eastenders, coshing someone over the head with a bust of Queen Victoria is pretty brutal, but that came later.

At least that's more original than say driving off a cliff. i guess they really have to get creative with soap deaths since they have so many of them over the course of a season.

Hum-bug. Tbh, I rarely do anything major for my birthday. I've always had a small circle of friends so no major parties or such.

Coop prepares to try his new hair dryer - riding his bike down a large hill, with wet hair. Congratulations to:
sushi13: 10th NG Berfday
reverend: 27th Birthday

Listening to:
Iron Maiden - When The Wild Wind Blows
Iron Maiden - Run To The Hills [Dead]

Trade in Hills for The Trooper and we've got a deal!

Sounds like a fair trade.

I'm getting psyched - I know it's less than 12 hours for you and I'm very jealous.

Will do, if I ever get my hands on the first disc. Maybe my friend will send it over.

Some quality friends there!

Usually I wouldn't get a friend to send some music files over but I've already heard the album already. This is just the album in the original master.

So worthy of being part of the collection, then.

Got it set up in the boudoir.

One can't help but conjure up an image of Latrine from Robin Hood Men In Tights. "I keep a likeness of him in my boudoir!"

Well, we've got the idea of a dinner jacket and various other jackets for clothing, it's just used for potato peel as well.

Seeing Maiden tonight! Should be a good show despite the shitty support act.

Devin Townsend - Deconstruction

At that point, probably not much can be done for your birthdays. Hell, I could have let my 21st birthday slide. Maybe I can do just that for my 22nd birthday. If any major live shows happen to be on around my birthday, I could just go for them rather than celebrating my birthday.

Anyway, happy birthday!

I'm sure that you and the other metalheads in this thread will be interested in the fact that Bruce Dickinson was given an honorary doctorate in music from the same university that my ex-girlfriend went to. He was at their graduation and everything. Should have stayed with her just a bit longer and I might have met him, ha.

Admit it. You wished it still would only require 30k to see those pics.

Obviously. Then I'd only need 5,000 more EXP to get the final reward.

But we will never reach it if the requirements are raised every time the #1 user in experience reaches the current goal. :(

Heh, I'm needing to catch up on writing up my Metal Monday posts. It doesn't help I spent most of yesterday writing up a review that's unrelated to this.

I think I delay the next letter until Friday. It doesn't really matter anyway, lol.

I'm still looking forward to it.

That's good. :P

But what's the point of the other six when we don't know them?

To make the club more interesting. "Hey, they have 8 rules, but 6 of them are so secret you'll only get to know them if they deem you worthy enough!"

To me, there is no point to those other rules.

Maybe to you there's no point, but others might find it appealing.

Because of being notable for being the world's loudest band. If I see them live, I have no intentions to be near the stage.

Spinal Tap is still one louder. They play at eleven!

But do they so at their own actual shows?

Of course!
I'm sure they played at "infinity" on one live aid concert.

Besides, what about Motörhead? They are pretty loud and I'm sure they had that record "loudest band" at one time in their career.

Maybe Lemmy has been more laid back.

I don't think so.

Better clear your cache then.

Nah, nobody looks through that anyway.

You never know. :P

I do. :P

Living is gay.

I'm running out of things that are gay, so I'll just say:
Being generic is gay.

Being original is gay.

Shitty support acts are gay.

That's very interesting. I knew about the honorary degree in music. He went to that University and said to his parents that he was getting a degree before going back into the army. He never intended to go back into the army, but it kept his parents happy. Then Samson and Maiden came along.

It won't fit into a luggage trunk? Well I guess you can claim it as a seeing-eye goat. Then they will have to allow you to have it.

Has anybody been tossed into acid, or how about thrown from a plane? What about zombies? That's an angle that hasn't been touched before.

Hi guys I'm back from my holiday. It was fun.

Replies coming up later :)

35,000 Medal Points

I feel that over the past few days I've made a stride on this. I wonder if 2,000 medals will be forthcoming soon?

Maiden were fantastic. Writeup will be later on.

Of course!

How did they live?

Maybe Lemmy has been more laid back.

I don't think so.

I assure you, Motörhead weren't that loud at Manchester. They were just as loud as all the other bands I've seen live. The quietest band I've heard live is Airbourne from last night.

You never know. :P

I do. :P

Just be on the safe side, alright? Otherwise, I'll say "LOL HAGGARD HAS DRAGON PORN ON HIS COMPUTER!"

Being original is gay.

Shitty support acts are gay.

Legendary bands are gay.

Well not if you're the guy who turned on the showers of course.

It's not only the showers or the firing squad, but watchmen, engenieers, the train drivers, etc.
But the worst thing about it is, that things like this still happen today (Burma for example). It's frightening what men can do to other men. :(

As well as a few African countries I would guess. Some of the countries there appear to be turning into real shitholes.

I would guess the New York pizza since it seems more normal, but I don't know. It might as well be the other way around.

I would think Chicago first because in NY you need a quick pizza to eat on the go and you can't really do that with a deep dish pizza. I might actually look that up.

So they invented the 'normal pizza'? Sounds a bit silly, but not unplausible. I guess you can eat it a lot faster.

Oh well. I guess that teached you discipline... or something.

Or my parents the value of cheep labor.

WASD controls FTW.

But if you're a (mousing) lefty like me, you have to use the arrow keys instead. Though it's difficult to reach the spacebar that way, which is giving me trouble with jumping in TF2.

While they're adjustable, I often find that the controls feel a bit clumsy with way too many buttons. I'd rather have Z for shooting, A for switching weapons and B for reloading for example.

That feels like playing a console. :P

Those are the N64 controls, which were great in my opinion.

The better alternative is Newgrounds XD

I was thinking Blip but that site doesn't make the videos accessible enough.

I think that site is always blocking me with "Sorry. This video is blocked in your country".

Since he's a moderator I suppose he will stick around. He's not too far away from you, but it'll be tough to catch up with him.

It'll be a fun challenge. I'll have my pace while he has his.

Well I'd put my money on you.

You'll fly past Maus and Ozcar as well eventually if you just keep at it. You could be ranked 7th or so eventually.

You'll need to give me until 2014... which is manageable if I at least want to reach level 60 someday.

Well I don't suppose you're leaving any time soon. What's another three years?

There's been a lot of tossing, but mostly off cliffs, bridges and the like. Zombies, I'd quite like to see.
