Is it even legal what you do to your poor guitar?

Just look at my avatar. Believe it or not, that really is me. Wearing a Hanson t-shirt no less. My girlfriend's Hanson t-shirt.

I'm genuinely surprised neither of the following phrases have occurred yet in this thread, what with all the susspotting going on:

- Post proof or retract
- Pictures or it didn't happen

those aint free.

 

[Axver]

I guess those phrases happen a lot in other dodgy threads?

I wouldn't know

So says someone who's posted in PLEBA.

WTF IS UP WITH AMERICAN TOILETS SERIOUSLY.

OMG how much water do they waste!? They are HUGE. Madness. I was tempted to take a picture, especially of the ones in Chicago airport with the automatic plastic "hygenic" seat covers that rotated around to a fresh one every time you flushed.

And there goes your cred, right out the window.

I'd guessed that was you, but not quite what was on the shirt.

Well who wants to fetch herpes on a public toilet?

I'm crushed.

It's INSANE. But then again, so is almost everything over that side of the Pacific.

They have those in Christchurch Airport.

They had a button to activate. Naturally, i pressed the button and laughed for five minutes when i saw it happen.

hey i can remember when hansesn was cool for 5 minutes

You just need pics, that's all.

I'm surprised it worked. Last time I ended up in Christchurch airport, half the fucking place was closed and the other half seemed to think it was the closed half.

I can't comment on exactly what you may or may not do to the toilet seats you use, but last time I checked, herpes can't get through skin.

I've never heard of anyone catching anything off a toilet seat.

Bono still likes Hanson.

I've heard of it. Which is why I don't use public toilets.

Hey, I hate you. You live in the right part of the world to see Agalloch live and yet you probably haven't the foggiest clue who they are, let alone any desire to see them.

They're from Portland, I think, and their only gigs ever seem to be around OR/WA/Vancouver, and occasionally Western Europe. Bastards.

 

[mysterious_jen]

damm im not even going into public toilet myths and things your mum teahces you about them as a girl

Haha, me too.

I laughed at so much of America, they must have thought I was nuts. Drove past a second-hand car yard near Atlanta that had one of those big scrolling LED signs... and it was quoting scriptures.

Apart from the toilet and the Pacific Blue check in kiosks the place looked trapped in the 70s

Bono still likes Hanson.

And Larry likes Westlife. I don't think the members of U2 are helpful for your defence.

 

[the tourist]

Actually, I do know who they are. I have a friend who's totally into metal and tries to get me into it. The closest he got was getting me into Porcupine Tree.

WTF.

My favourite was a shop I passed north of Nashville. Sad Sam the Clown's: gas, fireworks, and beer on Sundays.

Mum didn't tell me myths like that... I guess I'll carry on naively until I catch syphilis or something... then you can all laugh at me

But Agalloch are awesome and atmospheric and bring in post-rock and lots of folk elements and are just generally one of my favourite bands.

Their new EP, The White, is very interesting. Quite folky. Pretty much no metal going on at all. Largely instrumental too.

When I was 6, I saw this rhyme written into the wall of a public toilet in California:

"Here I sit all broken hearted
Tried to shit but only farted
So I decided to beat my meat
Sorry I came all over the seat."

I didn't get what it meant back then.
Thank the lord all I did was pee.
