Random Music Talk CX: Obscured By Cobbler

[martha]

On an unrelated note, I am so hooked on "Binge" from Marriages' new album.

I went ahead and got myself a ticket to go see them. I might just wait until the show to buy the album. Or not. I don't know. I don't have to decide today.

Yes, two fisting or double fisting means a drink in each hand in 'Murica.

It's called double fisting in the cultured parts of Straya, too.

 

[bono_212]

I think we understand. When I put "Heinekens" after it, the meaning changes from sexual deviance to alcoholism.

Yeah, this is one e of the more pedantic slang conversations I've seen on here.

Yes, we also use it the sexual way, but there was plenty of context to tell the difference .

 

[Axver]

I can't say I've ever heard "fisting" used outside of a sexual connotation. I had no idea what it meant in Hewson's post. The context indicated something alcoholic, but beyond that it was about as incoherent as me telling you I'm going to the servo this arvo.

(Liam, since the only cultured part of Australia is Melbourne - and, in fact, only within the tram network - it's safe to say you're wrong. Everything beyond the tram network should just be marked "here be dragons/dingos/dragons-with-dingos".)

 

[bono_212]

I mean, if you read that someone fisted their hand against their side, would you assume sexual connotation based on the context?

I get what you're saying, though, it took me a while to realize that the word 'faggot' in older novels was not nearly as offensive as it seemed, even when I didn't know what it meant outside of the modern day obvious, and the context suggested it couldn't possibly mean what I thought it did.

But yeah, two handed, double fist, just means you have both hands full of drink/food. If you search for double fistING on the other hand, you're more likely to find some highly NSFW image results.

Really? Who knew, seems like a straight shooter.

"I'm double fisted and you empty you can grab a cup"

Goddamn. U2inUtah just destroyed me. I love that song so much.

But I never even made the two-drinks connotation. That has always been "double parked" to me, and generally the rule is if you are double parked you have to skol one of the drinks. Fisting I've only ever known to explicitly sexual, or sometimes in AFL when a defender punches a ball away.

I won't dignify Liam's post with a response.

If the tram network was cultured, it'd show up in Google Maps.

It's so far beyond maps, mate.

Nope, still don't get it.

 

[cobl04]

Chug.

 

[Danny Boy]

People who order two drinks for themselves typically intend to down them pretty quickly. I think that's pretty much universal.

How much double fisting did you do last night, DB?

 

[nielsgov]

I'm not a fan of double fisting but I did have soms nice beers yesterday. An Orval and a Westmalle Dubbel in between a few Stellas

Managed to catch Half & Full Measures on TV tonight. How great was Breaking Bad. It's inspiring me not to be a shit cunt and start putting in the effort to watch more 44-minute dramas. I do have season one of The Wire and have nearly watched all of season one of Mad Men.

 

[Joey788]

So I'm taking a vacation up to Boston towards the end of this month. Any recommendations for music venues or sites I should check out?

Those are the two best episodes of the series IMO.

I actually had a completely dry Independence Day, believe it or not.

Of interest to Axver: was at a friend's yesterday and he was playing Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree fame. This thread is the only reason I've ever heard of them.

Of interest to Cobl: said friend was wearing a shirt with a picture of a bald eagle holding a banner that said "I will never reveal the Wu-Tang secret."

I don't know what that means, but it's awesome.

I bought Steven Wilson's new album on Blu-Ray. Good stuff.

Agreed, at least until Ozymandias premiered.

 

[iron yuppie]

That speech that Mike gives about the half measure/full measure distinction is riveting, especially with the way it's shot. Great tv there.

Canadians, what's this Tim Horton's fast food like? Puke? Emergencies only? Passable?

Passable. It's coffee donuts and muffins, and for lunch soup and sandwich. Inoffensive but unremarkable.

I had a pineapple cider at brunch this morning that was really very delicious.

I seem to remember seeing an article recently about a high correlation between eating at Tim Horton's and listening to country music.
