Good. I noticed yesterday that Geddy Lee is choosing the Tracks of his years on Radio 2 this week, about 11.40 on Ken Bruce, if you're interested.

When was the last time I tuned in to the radio? Oh right, during the last two months of Bruce Dickinson's Friday radio show two years back.

Eh, can't say I ever cared too much about Kiss. I understand their iconic status in rock n' roll but they were never my thing apart from a song or two.

Well, from Hell or Hallelujah, this sounds a lot more metal than they've ever tried before...

Metal or not, I don't care for them a whole lot.

But it's fucking gold!

Most bad videos come from Hair Metal bands, though. Lots of (half naked) chicks and lots of (half naked) boys that dress like chicks (and I'm not even talking about Twisted Sister here). Not something you would instantly connect with the word "metal".

Twisted Sister are actually really good. It's just a shame they have an association with hair metal just like how W.A.S.P have horribly been mislabelled as that many times.

If it's any consolation, when I have a crew cut, the hairs on the back of my head do go all mottled, having more than three individual colours and plenty of shades mixed in there.

My hair starts to become gray already. :(

Well, some people I know started going grey at 17-18, which is really weird. Plus one of the guys I went to school with was completely bald by the time he was 20. You've got it easy.

I think I'd fit if I found a grey hair.

Also, if you look at this picture, then it was located a bit above the point, where the "anterior belly of digastricus" is pointed out.

Shaving the neck would have worked well - those beards make people look slightly thinner, as well, if that helps...

Oh, so you think I'm looking fat?! :'(

I never said that, I've never seen you before. I was merely suggesting a benefit of it. I'm thin, yet I would always shave my neck, in the event of growing a beard.

It was just me trying to act like a girl... you know the situations, where you can never say the right thing? "Honey, do you think I can wear this skirt or does it make me look fat?" - "You can wear it, it doesn't make you look fat." - "OH, so you think I'm FAT?!! *tears*"

Luckily, my wife isn't anything like that. :3

Ah, the joy of someone who doesn't care too much. I remember when I had someone who cared too much and I also remember when I had someone who didn't care enough. Now ti find the balance...

No, there are much better places for it, but there are also worse places.

I'm trying to think of the worst place, but I can't think of anything I would consider "the worst". Apart from obvious places like in a septic tank or something like that.

Well, I was thinking the back seat of a car, when a police officer taps on the window and says "Sir, is this your car?" :P

So, what if you answer: "No, and I don't know whose car this is."

I was thinking more along the lines of Beverly Hills Cop - "This is not my bedroom!"

Oh, it's too long ago since I watched that movie.

I watched it the other night. We've finished Cop 2, so now onto Wonderworld and Cop 3, which is the most bizarre of the lot.

Wow, childhood flashback. I had to chant that during a production of the Flood, when I was in the school choir :P Yes, I was an angel, once.

LOL! Good thing I never went to church, nor was I ever a "member" of this "club".

I can't help my parents, nor their way of bringing me up. I wouldn't change it, as it's opened my eyes and I've made my own mind up.

And I have to thank my parents for never having me baptized. I think you actually have to pay to get out of church... but on the other hand, you can save some money, because you don't have to pay church taxes anymore.

I think it was a good excuse for a family piss up, with my lot.

Yeah, makes you wonder what's this "freedom of religion" thing is all about.

It's bollocks, basically. I made my own mind up and to be fair, my mum has stood by me and allowed me to make my own decisions, for the most part. Saying I wished to abstain from RE lessons at school didn't go down well, neither did me getting caught reading during them, nor skipping the lessons, to finish my A-Level Physics coursework.

Also has something to do with "freedom of religion", since the boys cannot decide for themselves, if they want to be circumcised or not, or want to be jewish/muslim or not... highly controversial topic!

Speaking of getting old :p

I discovered a few grey hairs myself recently. I'm fine with it though, I'd rather turn grey than bald. Actually, I do have a bit of a receding hairline, but as long as I don't start to get a "knee cap" it's alright.

Headscarves where once banned in Iran in the late 30's. But it only had the effect that many women never left the house anymore, because they felt naked without the headscarf... even some men supposedly didn't leave the house anymore. They feared they could see women without a headscarf. Hm.

I dispute that - European, I feel.

And now for the next debate: Are we even part of Europe anymore? :P

And I always thought you never where part of Europe in the first place :P

Would you be a good chap and tell Angela for us? Thanks.

Sorry, Angela doesn't listen to common people.

This is mostly because she seems to be trying to buy the rest of Europe and make it into a superpower. What a brilliant idea, why didn't someone think of this before?

Zbigniew Brzezinski once said, that we need some kind of "Eurasian super state".

What? Oh... right...

Guess a high five is out of the question, then?

High fives are sooo 90's!

1,500 Audio Reviews!

I wanted to reach this goal for 2 years now. But either I had too much to do to really write reviews, or I lost more reviews than I wrote (there where times when I lost 8-10 reviews each month. Very frustrating).

But now I have finally done it! And what better way to celebrate it, than with an angry face? >:(

I thought I had

93rd most experienced

I've passed DjGurk for experience, with now Inertius and iWalker looking like my next two targets. Hell, I can sniff the top 90. Not the most fragrant of tops, but one that I am within range of smelling, nonetheless :)

I know have medals from 300 games.

So I do have a question that I really would only trust Wi/Ht?ers to be able to answer well:

What would you consider to be the ten most influential submissions for Newgrounds that were not involved in-house in any way? (In-house meaning submissions where staff had a hand such as Pico & Castle Crashers would be excluded.) I also should note this is specific to submissions as opposed to series as well (that does not mean a submission from a series can't be considered, but using a series as a whole should not be).

Level 27!
Probably gonna take me another four months to get to level 28 with deposit rate.

Coop recovers from yet another defeat, while congratulating:
Decky: Medals from 300 Different Games
Soapbubble: Level 27

I think that about covers it.

Got called around an hour ago for an agency contract that only lasts for today. Infact, work will start in around 45 minutes and will last for six hours. I only agreed on this simply because they can keep a better mind of me for future jobs they might come across.

Was busy (re)installing some OS's. Took me longer than expected, due to some unforseen difficulties. Why can't this shit just WORK for a change?

Which OS is that? My laptop has been on Vista for almost four years now. It's starting to age a bit now but I feel that's regardless of the OS that I'm using.

Your loss then. There's a fair amount of good songs on Stay Hungry. Now Quiet Riot, that's a band I couldn't really enjoy.

Too much "glam" in their "rock", man.

For Quiet Riot, that is right. Twisted Sister, I suppose some won't dig them that much but damn, they did write some sweet songs whether glam/hair metal or not.

I'd say Coop's list was spot on but it could do with a video games parody since they attract quite a crowd here. Probably go with Metal Gear Awesome in that case. Epic Battle Fantasy is more of a fan game than a parody. The early VG parodies were what brought me to this site to begin with and it's what my friends would go non-stop about back in 2004 which I'd say was NG's peak for popularity.

Congratulate me or not, I'm still racking 'em up. I'm one of the good guys, remember?

Yeah, it's always a good thing if you have some "completed jobs" on your record.

I bought a new SSD (= Hard drive) a few weeks ago, but didn't install it right away. First I wanted to finish my diploma thesis.
I installed it on Friday and because SSDs are so incredibly fast, I decided to install my OS's on there. First I installed Windows 7, then I installed Debian (dual install). I went back to Windows 7 only to discover that it didn't work right. I couldn't create a backup (always got the error: "Couldn't find specified file"), I couldn't even install the Service Pack 1.

I got so frustrated trying to fix that error, that I hit my fist on my desk... result: Now I have a hole in my desk. o_O I didn't even hit that hard... I mean come on, my hand didn't even hurt a bit! Fuck you IKEA and your cheap furniture!

Anyway, I then wiped the whole Hard Drive again, installed Windows 7. This time I used a different DVD, that had SP1 already included (in case you are wondering: I can get Windows for free from Microsoft, and some other programs as well because I study a computer science related course). I then installed every update there was, and I also created a backup. THEN I installed Debian again on the same Hard Drive. When I went back to Windows and tried again to create a backup I got the same error as before.

So, I had to wipe the Hard Drive YET AGAIN... this time I only installed Windows 7 on it and I will install Debian on a different hard drive in the near future. However, I will disconnect the SSD, so that Debian cannot fuck up Windows again. :/

Your loss then. There's a fair amount of good songs on Stay Hungry. Now Quiet Riot, that's a band I couldn't really enjoy.

We ain't gonna take it is a nice song, but that's about it.

Yes, Coop's list is very good. I even remember playing "Boobs, Butt, or Shoulder?" back in the day.

23 B/P yesterday... and all saves. I must have voted 30-40 0s for nothing. Congratulations to:

A day's wage and a foot in the door. I like the sound of that.

Perhaps something like "The Matrix has You", instead of Bunnykill, since that was inspired by Madness. I could possibly have delved into the Video Game parodies, but the only ones I could think of were the Street Fighter Collab and MGS Collab, which were arranged through Stamper, weren't they?

Did you ever play "Pussy or Raw Meat"? I was also tempted to put Slugger's Xmas up there, but we'd had enough movies, to be honest.

You passed 3000 Saves. Way to go!
