Good morning!

 

[Axver]

Axver, you need to hear this.

I mean.

It's actually kind of fun.

One minute they sound like Metallica.
The next they sound like minstrels from yon far ago age. Except metal.

Oh, I've heard one of Blind Guardian's other albums. It's OK. I'm not too much a fan of power metal, though a couple of Sonata Arctica songs aren't bad.

I have a week to either forget I saw that, or convince myself they'll never actually play it, which will be easier.

Don't worry, it'll get Drowning Manned.

Anyways, I'm bored with this now .

It doesn't help that the story is based on the Silmarillion, which I haven't read yet .

Still like 10 tracks left

 

[bono_212]

And right after I wrote that message I had a thought to myself, "It....can't be."

But lo! IT is!

Marillion was formed in 1979 as Silmarillion, after J.R.R. Tolkien's book The Silmarillion, by Mick Pointer, Steve Rothery, and others. They played their first gig at Berkhamsted Civic Centre on 1 March 1980.[11]

I'm sure you all knew this, but I'm all like mind=blown.

 

[Axver]

Do you folks want a laugh?

The other day, I made mention on the U2gigs Twitter account that UF hasn't been performed in Australia since 1989. Somebody replied to me that UF wasn't even released until 1991.

I genuinely can't believe you didn't know this already, heh. Tolkien's estate even made them change their name away from Silmarillion!

According to wiki they changed it before Tolkein's peeps could make them. But whatever, the point is...Marillion!

Oh, I just remembered!

Weather report: Temps will drop to -19C with winds approaching 35 MPH. Six to eight inches of snow expected to fall between 7 and 8:15 PM.

Fuck.

 

[bono_212]

I guess the music listening is to be interrupted, I have to run out.

Middle Earth, you can has a 2.5

 

[Axver]

Oooh, post #123,456 is almost here.

Oh, I just remembered!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

 

[bono_212]

That was one of the best payoffs I've ever had from clicking a spoiler/reply button.

 

[bono_man2002]

2 Hours to go, and I'm still winning YKTR

When I get this CD, I think another listening party is required!

 

[Reggo]

I need to find some way to entertain myself at work. Can't get online, no book to read, no iPod. Sigh.

 

[bono_man2002]

Our internets are so crap at work today, its not funny.

 

[notAxver]

I actually have no idea what to do for my 123,456th post. I thought I'd accidentally blown it on a huge statsbomb on the setlist forum, but nope, that was #123,455.

 

[VertigoX2]

Maybe you can dedicate your milestone post to me!!

 

[VertigoX2]

Anyway the only cool number going around is 2!

 

[notAxver]

Maybe for this account's 123,456th!

 

[bono_man2002]

Meanwhile, the superthread waits for the real Axver to make his milestone post.

Stay tuned for futher updates.

 

[bono_man2002]

:fuck yeah: Just won the Y Kant Tori Read auction!

 

[Reggo]

Bosses at work came around about an hour ago and told people to get the fudge out. So I'm home.

 

[bono_man2002]

Whoa. That would be nice If I was told I could go home now!

 

[bono_man2002]

Dear American Superthreaders,

If I was to win another auction from ebay, and this item could only be sent to the US...would one of you kind people be able to accept it, and post it downunder?

I'll pay you of course

 

[bono_212]

I'll do it, Daniel.

 

[Reggo]

Me, too, Daniel

 

[Reggo]

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a white-out.

 

[bono_212]

I hope that storm's coming my way

 

[bono_212]

It's not .

But snow showers next Tuesday

 

[bono_man2002]

I'll do it, Daniel.

Me, too, Daniel
