What's cool about 02/05/08? (apart from one little thing)
The fact it looks cool written down?

Axver said:Oh, Maj., you're the Police fan of this thread. I was in the supermarket this evening and they subjected me to the sucktastic stylings of Maroon 5's She Will Be Loved. What drove me nuts besides the song itself was that part of it sounds like a Police ripoff, but I can't quite place which Police song it's plagiarising. Do you have any idea?
Alisaura said:
There's only one place to eat nearby that Ax isn't allergic to, though.

I'm not that huge a fan really, I need to get some money to buy their albums... Really, I want to be a huge fan, but can't afford to yet. Stupid cheap CD store in the city closed down.
But I'll give She Will Be Loved a listen and see.
Let's see... including my own ticket, I spent $80 onthe midnight session that I couldn't get back... add another $40 for the saturday... $20 the next day... plus parking on the midnight ($7 or so?)... and the odd tram ticket.... plus the dinners on Lygon street...Axver said:Eek, yeah. Though if it makes you feel any better, I've spent more on Porcupine Tree in the last week than you've spent on U2 3D in the last month!
Has anybody actually e-mailed the Imax and asked for a definitive final showing date?

it's also my birthday today, don't tell anyone
... What are you, a numerologist?Axver said:Also, am I the only person who thinks today's date is kinda cool? 02/05/08. I'm looking forward to 03/06/09 next year.
Axver said:
What, really? Nice job not telling anyone or anything. I had no bloody idea. Then again, even if you had let me know, I have a tendency to forget birthdays. Including my own.
Also,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
major_panic said:
Got it!
The last part of the song sounds EXACTLY like Don't Stand So Close To Me, when the backing vocalist or whoever is singing "Please don't try so hard to stay" or some rubbish.
Also a lot of the song sounds like a Police song, but I can't place it yet.
Axver said:
(to you; to them and their crappy plagiarism)
Yeah, the parts leading up to that godawful chorus remind me of something, but I couldn't place it when I was at the shop and I'm not willing to listen to the song of my own free will ...
Does he have a problem with MSG? There should be things that don't have nuts/fish/whatever the other thing is....major_panic said:! How very true. I'm still trying to figure out what Chinese food he can eat...

I'm listening to Rise Up in protest of its getting voted out of Survivor already.major_panic said:I'm not going to listen to it again, I'm listening to Flower Child.
major_panic said:
Thanks! I actually don't tell anyone, just to see who remembers and who bothers to find out. I don't think it's all that important anyway to be honest.

I made no allegations, I merely asked a questionAxver said:03/06/09 shall bring great woe upon people who make false allegations about Axver.
My favourite date ever was 02/02/2000. It was the first time all numbers in the date had been even since 08/08/888! I thought that was really neat.

Shame!
Oh yeah. We've started using peanut oil at home, since we found out that olive oil really shouldn't be used for cookingmajor_panic said:See, there should be, but lots of people use peanut oil these days too, which doesn't help at all.
I suppose most of the neutered tourist food is safe for Ax... Stuff like lemon chicken and sweet and sour pork.
Dammit, he's onto you!Axver said:Maj., you need to come from a culture that isn't trying to kill me with its food!
Axver said:
I'm honestly baffled by that. Very few people actually posted that they were voting for Rise Up, and it's rare for a thread to be so unreflective of the poll. And not a single person posted WHY they were voting off Rise Up.
If you ask me, it has more of a case to be on JT than TTYW and - dare I say it - ISHFWILF.

major_panic said:
The more I listen to ISHFWILF, the more I feel about it compared to, say, Luminous Times or Spanish Eyes.
Alisaura said:And I think it may have suffered a bit from not so many people having heard it, perhaps...? I dunno.
That bass...
Is it a bad sign that I wondered if they had a guest bassist in for that?
Surprise me more often, U2.
