Desert Island IX: Results Thread

[LemonMelon]

WE'RE HERE OH FUCK

It's been a long three months, but now it's time to reward those who really killed it with a virtual pat on the back. Maybe this year we can have Hewson hook us up with one of them Whole Enchiladas.

This shit will be starting very soon. If any of you have last-minute rankings, now would be the time to send them in. Once we've started, this shit won't stop.

Lez Go!

 

[the tourist]

Weeeeeeeeeee!!!

 

[bono_212]

Sitting in my Desktop Publishing class and the professor is talking about stroke widths for borders annnnnnnd I have "Strokin'" stuck in my head.


...thanks, Jake. Class just got 500% better.

 

[iron yuppie]

Before this gets going, I just wanted to say that these lists were extremely impressive by and large. I felt guilty ranking anything near the bottom because the quality was so consistently high.

 

[PhilsFan]

I just sent my rankings in via email. Sorry to be that guy, I'm transitioning to a new job and lost track of this. Hopefully I'm not fucking it up.

 

[LemonMelon]

Haha you son of a bitch.

Bonnie sent me a top 5 earlier (just a top 5) and I've been trying to get a hold of her all day so she can be a part of this, but no word back. Now that your rankings are in and I've got to re-write everything, I might just wait until I hear back from her.

Mr. V hasn't been here this month, so yeah.

 

[PhilsFan]

Feel free to pull something like this when I do the Albums of the Year tally.

 

[LemonMelon]

Peef's list just changed the winner and Bonnie's will change it again.

Feel free to pull something like this when I do the Albums of the Year tally.

Were you the one that pulled quotes in your final tally? That was awesome.

 

[LemonMelon]

Yeah, I'm going to pull a Scientist and drag this out for a bit. Depending on how the rest of Bonnie's list shakes out, there could be a one point difference between #1 and #2. Two lists were submitted after the deadline, what's the harm in waiting for half of another?

 

[PhilsFan]

Oh, I forgot I did that. Yes, I think I did it mostly to embarrass Cobbler.

 

[bono_212]

You are a gentleman and a scholar.

 

[lazarus]

AHEM

 

[LemonMelon]

I know.

 

[lazarus]

Deadline? More like an injuryline!!

 

[Lancemc]

[bono_212]

In the bag.

 

[LemonMelon]

Mr. Brau, actually.

24 hours is long enough to wait. Is anyone around to follow along though?

 

[the tourist]

I'll be around intermittently. But I'm not exactly a huge crowd.

 

[LemonMelon]

Ashley can't get online right now either. I'll wait until she gets home in an hour and see if there are more people around. It seems really quiet tonight, but I also didn't exactly let anyone know it would be going on.

 

[the tourist]

Well I see some of us lurking in here. So I'm sure we'll see stuff.

 

[Padj]

Yeah I'm keeping an eye on this thread, but it's 01:36 a.m. here so I don't know if I'll be here in an hour

 

[LemonMelon]

Ah, cool, I see y'all lurking. Right then, we'll get shit going shortly.

 

[lazarus]

LETS GO ALREADY~ - YouTube

 

[Padj]

Well I did the mistake of checking the new u2 album thread while I'm waiting. Why.

 

[lazarus]

A question I've asked myself too many times.

 

[LemonMelon]

Alright, let's roll.

Entry:

There was supposed to be artwork with this, but I couldn't find the picture I wanted to useand didn't feel like putting the effort into finding a similar, suitable one online and making it look like what I'd planned. So, no artwork.

There's a slight exaggeration here, I never actually quit drinking. But long gone are the nights that follow this trajectory. Starting with songs of brotherhood and the joy of going out and getting wasted melt far too quickly into violence, which then turns to self-loathing, and by the end, self-pity. These days I stick to a couple beers with breakfast after work rather than nights that go from the Ducky Boy's "I've got my Friends" to flirting with Metallica's "Fade to Black."
