Which is never as good as the real thing. I'll guess that it included some combination of your baseball pong game, Cope, and you looking like a fucking ridiculous idiot.

There's an event going on this weekend called Texas Relays. It's the biggest high school track meet in Texas and it's held on our track. This weekend always brings an influx of undesirable folk. Sixth on those two nights is basically congested with wannabe thugs and rappers. Fucking shots were fired last year. I'm no racist (unless you ask Irvine), but there's a difference between black people and black people who are or want to be gangsta.

And let's just say my friend picked the worst possible day to turn 21 and round up all her buddies to take her out. It was a madhouse.

So no, no Baseball since I wasn't at home. No Cope since I was in public. But plenty of looking like a fucking ridiculous idiot.

What is "Sixth," exactly?
 
I referenced 6th Street in one of the Shuttlecock songs.

Let me find it....

Ahh, it's from If God Will Serve His Shuttles:

"God has got his cock off the hook, babe
Would he even hit it up if he could?
It's been a while since we saw that style
Hangin' round this tournament
See Lance's mother bobbing in a doorway
See Carter, Chris is with a surfing board
Impy's sister's eyes are blistered ...
Sixth street never looked so whored"


I think that one deserved props for mentioning Lance's Mom, Chris Carter, and Impy/Austin in the same stanza. And Badminton.
 
It certainly was packed to the gills with references. Although I might have changed "eyes" to "thighs." And given the current Shuttlecockscape, might have dropped a crab reference in too. Check your lease facts in the future. I'm an only child.
 
Good call on "thighs". Though I'm pretty sure this one was written pre-Crab. Otherwise, if may have been "If God Will Serve His Hard Shell".

That's my joint.

Yeah, being an only child or having brothers kind of ruins it. I have three brothers, but you can't say "PFan's brother is a tool" because I'd just go ahead and agree with you. Sisters and mothers only.
 
Well, sometimes you have to twist the facts to create art. Like Boner having Martin Luther Cock getting shot in the "early morning".

The point is, if Impy HAD a sister, she'd be a whore.
 
Monday morning general sale for LA: Do I go doucebag or cheap?

Well, if you go douchebag, you're more likely to be close, and hopefully more likely to have a better experience if you don't like stadium shows.

If you have the means to go douchebag, I say do it.
 
I've been thinking about it.

It just galls me to pay 300 clams to see the Black Eyed Fucking Peas. If it were Muse, I wouldn't even hesitate. The problem is, we need some work done to our roof, and a tree pulled out of the backyard. It's times like this I miss having a landlord. :no:

I need to make up my mind before Monday morning at 10, though. I'll only have one chance, and indecision will screw it up. :huh:

But you're right about being close. :hmm:



ARGH!

Go douchebag if you can and then have a yard sale this summer. :)

One great seat for the LA show is better than suckass seats for multiple shows, especially when you hate stadium shows to begin with. What you'll save in gas and hotel you can just put towards the one great douchebag seat in LA.

I got my douchebag ticket in the mail yesterday and I have to say, I really like looking at it. :drool:
 
I'm doing heavy-duty spring cleaning, and it's finally showing signs of spring here - blue skies and in the 60s today and tomorrow. :drool:

Of course, I'm still online, but I'm doing bursts of productivity in between.
 
OMG we're cleaning here too!!!!1!1!!

I just went through our attic and there's shit from people who haven't lived in this house in over 5 years. People I don't even know. Who leaves their fucking college diploma behind?!

Anyone need rollerblades, Mens size 9?
 
Steve just gave me a long list of reasons why I should treat myself to a douchebag seat, except he never used the word "douchebag."

I love him. :heart:

Ok, I'm going for it. :)

:up:

And Vegas hasn't even been announced yet, so who knows? :shrug: This may be it. And if it isn't, I'll get a 95 dollar ticket for that show.
 
Also, this entire message board is DEAD right now. Wow. Is everybody off at church or something? Or maybe people are still reeling from the Jay Cutler trade.

I've had what pretty much amounts to the plague all week, so I've been home resting all week and not online much at all. Add pink eye to the equation this weekend and yeah, just shoot me. :crack:

If I could hunt down who gave this to me, I'd strangle them to death.
 
I just listened to it - pretty cool. Sure beats the shit out of that god-awful remix that was attached to the iTunes version of the album.
