[Josiah]

well i got the girl and gig musicians down but man i seriously need a job. my gf has a cell and my band mates have a cell. everyone i know has a cell


A girl and no job? I'm surprised that's lasted more then a week.

[Aaron]

hey, is US do you have to pay when you recieve a call? that'd suck. over here you barely pay to make a call from a mobile good ol' optus pre-paid)!

[Tim]

A girl and no job? I'm surprised that's lasted more then a week.

haha. she doesnt like going to places you have to pay for shed rather hang out at a park. which is fine by me.

[Josiah]

I'm with verizon. Free nights, weekends, free to any verizon customer, all nation wide calling, 450 anytime mins, voice mail, caller id, etc

Plan is $40/month, phone was $70 after rebate.

Only time I use anytime mins is calls during the week days daytime, to or from non verizon customers.

Since an overhwleming amount of people in this area have verizon, including almost every person I know. It's pretty much unlimited mins for me.

I also get a discount through my employer that's like 16% off everything aformentioned.

[Double Bass Jim]

Ahh thats quite a deal!

I need to pick up a cell one day.

[Tim]

Ahh thats quite a deal!

I need to pick up a cell one day.


dont do it jim. the cost of a monthly cell bill is liek a wuhan everymonth(20inch). dont do it. jk :D

[Josiah]

Depends on your budget, needs and wants.

[DruMMeR_BoY14]

yeah think of all that metal you could have instead jim!

[Josiah]

Jim's got a lot of metal now.. he's beat my collection by a good ways.

[Double Bass Jim]

Ahh I dunno man, we might be close now!

[Drum Phil]

A girl and no job? I'm surprised that's lasted more then a week.

Ive managed it for a month :cool: Although admittedly she does have a job :upset:

[Josiah]

A whole month?

I hear wedding bells.

[DruMMeR_BoY14]

haha, if you hear wedding bells after a month what do you hear after 20?

[Double Bass Jim]

The funeral dirge.

[DruMMeR_BoY14]

lmao, that was a good one jim!

[spike9908]

haha, if you hear wedding bells after a month what do you hear after 20?

you dont need to get to know someone before you marry them. if you can last a month without having a job and her not breaking up with you, thats all you need.

[CombatWombat3]

Alright, homecoming is done and over, it was KICKASS! My girlfriend had a GREAT time. The DJ was great, he's actually our theology teacher, but he's really young. He's 28, so he was awesome. Our dean requested sex bomb, it was hilarious. Almost all the chaperones/teachers danced, including two monks. The only song that people didnt like was Holla-back Girl, and that was played for our football team.

The atmosphere was great, really informal, but formal at the same time. Two of my really good friends were King and Queen, so it's all good.

Without further ado, pictures.



My girlfriend (Monika) and I (Noah) (just to warn you, I ALWAYS look bad in pictures)

And finally, my REALLY close group of friends minus two people, we know eachother really well. The blonde-haired one is my guitarist, the other guy is our sound man/eggshaker player.

Comments? I look pretty bad in these pictures, but Monika was really pretty. She always is, but she was gorgeous last night. And then there's John, who is referred to as the "pretty boy"

[Tim]

A whole month?

I hear wedding bells.

:lol:

[TTTSNB]

That sounds cool Combat Wombat

[rockindrummer]

Awsome wombat. Sounds like you had a really good time.


Hey rockin hows that paiste crash workin out?

The 2oo2 I bout a while ago? Or the old school giant beat i'm trying to snag from my school?

The 2oo2 is working out awsome, fits really well with the rest of my cymbals, and sounds awsome. Buying deaf worked out this time, although I did try the 18" at L&M so that gave me a rough idea.

The giant beat, I havn't gotten around to asking him about it yet. I think i'm going to wait a bit longer beacause I already asked him last year and he said no but i'm not sure if he knew I was talking about the crash. Since there was a rivited (sp?) ride there too.

[Win A Rabbit]

thanksgiving tonight, whooooo!!! i love turkey, but it's usually really dry at the person's house we almost always go to for thanksgiving. but thankfully, we're not going there this year. i think we're just staying home.

well yesterday, i was working on a song using only kitchen items, and it was going pretty well. but then my computer crashed. so i'm gonna work on it again today. no drumsticks or anything, only things you would use to make food. i got inspired to do this when i was at my friends for lunch, and i was messing around with a little pan, a baster, and some measuring spoons. i had some pretty good stuff going on, too.

[Josiah]

thanksgiving tonight, whooooo!!! i love turkey, but it's usually really dry at the person's house...

Awwww twice the food! That's just too good.

[rockindrummer]

I have thanksgiving diner both tonight and again on monday, I'm having it tonight with one side of the family then tomorrow with the other. Turkey tonight, ahh I love turkey except when it is dry but this side of the family doesn't dry out the turkey. Then tomorrow i'm having somthing other than turkey :p

[KWG]

best part is the sweeeeeeet stuffing

[Win A Rabbit]

hey, its on mondays man...not sunday! :lol:

(and yeah, Canadian Thanksgiving is on the 2nd monday of October for those that didnt know)
but everyone i know is having it tonight so that they can go to someone else's tomorrow night. :lol: one friend of mine had it on thursday night, because his relatives were going away on vacation, and they wanted to have thanksgiving here.

and i've never liked stuffing, i'm just white meat turkey, mashed potatoes, and alot of gravy. yum...

[styler]

god bless the stuffing

[KWG]

White meat?! but its so dry...now thigh is juicy and flavorfull

[Plan B.]

Yesssssssssssssssssssss!

Stay home thanksgivings are amazing, we're having one too!

[Josiah]

Mmm yes, I'm a thigh man myself...

[CombatWombat3]

:( ....
Noone likes my homecoming


lol

[spike9908]

because your date is ugly.















j/k, turkey is just more fun to talk about. all good and juicy and meaty. too bad thanksgiving isnt for another month and a half

[CombatWombat3]

I'm telling her you said that!

[spike9908]

go ahead, i kinda feel like getting bitch slapped. infact, e-mail me so i can tell you were to send her.

[Win A Rabbit]

Yesssssssssssssssssssss!

Stay home thanksgivings are amazing, we're having one too!
dam'n, my friend's mom just called and invited my family over. my mom's best friends with her, so she said we'd go. so i called my friends and asked them where they were eating, and most of them are going to the same place my family's going, so it won't be too bad. the turkey she makes is always so dry though, and we always eat at 8-9 there, i hate it. oh well...

i just came up with a sweet groove while playing drums. i started playing around with shuffles, then i switched the sticking around for the first half, and got this really cool sounding groove. it almost sounds like it's in straight 4, but at the same time it sounds like 12/8. i'll transcribe it out, since i know most of you hate tabs.

[bobby__johnny]

yeah really. Dark meak is the path to flavor country.....gobble

[spike9908]

eh, im not a huge turkey fan to begin with, but IMO white meat with gravy is the best, though i cant remember if ive ever tried dark meat with gravy.

[Drumass]

y dont they sticky this?

[Win A Rabbit]

man, i was just cleaning up the marching snare drum my friend lent me, and the bottom of the batter head has a piece of tape dated january 24, 1976. i didn't think this thing was that old. :lol: it's a 30 year old batter head, still in near perfect condition, and still sounds great. i think i'm going to buy new heads for it, what are some good marching heads? i'm guessing they'd be different from your regular snare drum, but i may be wrong.

but i'm going to go shower now, since it's 5:48, and i'm supposed to be over at my friend's house for supper right away, so i'll talk to you all later, after i'm full of turkey. and mashed potatoes, yum.

edit- i just checked, and i have 405 posts in this thread. whoa. :lol: how many does everyone else have?

[CombatWombat3]

y dont they sticky this?
because, it doesn't need to be stickied. It's always near the top anyway.

[Futuro]

edit- i just checked, and i have 405 posts in this thread. whoa. how many does everyone else have? 445 not something i should be proud of i guess :upset:

[spike9908]

how do you check how many you have?

[CombatWombat3]

You click on the thing next to the thread that says posts.

like 48 in this thread or something...

[infeef]

i have 1 post in this thread.

[spike9908]

i have the 13th most with 256. i thought it would be a lot more. like close to 5-600, but its good that it isnt. probably because i didnt start coming in here every night until the middle of august, then school started, so i barely post anywhere anymore.

i remember the night of osiris's snare raffle thing, i posted something like 48 times in 2 hours just in that thread. ahhh, good times. we turned that into stronghold part 2.

[CombatWombat3]

i have 1 post in this thread.


Get out of our thread...

This thread is now being taken over the the Clan O'Dwyer, you are now free to run among the highlands, and build castles on swamps.


(It's funny because I'm Irish, and have taken over this thread)

[rockindrummer]

I have 345 posts. Kinda sad as I started posting in it in like late july.

[Josiah]

The world is yours.

[CombatWombat3]

Man i love that movie...

[Loyton]

Musta been weak herb.

Stuff I get, 1 or 2 hits.. I'm good for hours.

On another note, I got a new cell.. yippee!


Same here. Why not spend like twice as much for good chron, than buy weak shiat for CHEAPER yes but 4 times the amount of highs with the thready high grade greens. Speaking of drugs, i told you guys i was gonna try shrooms this weekend but my dealer couldnt provide. So next weekend this cool girl and I are gonna try em for our first time, while watching itunes visualizations and a wicked good music mix (havnt totally decided what songs) Its going to be so totally awsome. She has GREAT taste in music.... her favorite band is DT and her second is the dooooooors!!!!! I first approached her to tell her how awsome her doors shirt was. :wave:

Anyone else have any comments about herb, shrooms, girls, the doors, or wicked awsome itunes visualtions?

(i sat for an hour and thirty minutes watching them last friday.... the entire pink floyd album and a hendrix mix, i wasnt under the influence and it was still wicked awsome!) :cool:

[Aaron]

g'day guys. i need to make a decision with my kit, should i go dark or light for the majority of the sounds in there. i've ordered a 22" K Heavy Ride and 13" K/Z Dyno Hats, but am not sure where to go with crashes; i have a 20" Innovations Raw Crash which is fairly bright, and a 16" K Custom Special Dry Crash. mm..? Looking at getting 17" and 18" Crashes soon, but not sure..?

[CombatWombat3]

I think it'd be good to go with a mix...versatility is key.

[Double Bass Jim]

Stick with dark tones :cool:

[Futuro]

I finally figured out how to make Gif files :D likin my new avatar :)

Dude...Thats messed up. NA its just pacman eating multiple rocket ships that are shooting stuff in his mouth.

[CombatWombat3]

.....ya.....rocket ships...

[Aaron]

Stick with dark tones :cool:

12" Wuhan Traditional China
12" Wuhan Traditional Splash
13" K/Z Dynobeat Hats
17" K Custom Dark Crash
8" Wuhan Traditional Splash
10" Wuhan Traditional Splash

I'm not a big fan of the Dynobeats, but whatever floats your boat.

[Aaron]

they're the best cymbal if you play heavily, but like dark tone and dont want to comprimise K tone for stupid Z-ness, IMO

[Loyton]

I'm not a big fan of the Dynobeats, but whatever floats your boat.

Im using dynobeats right now. They are z over z though, soon to be my aux. hats. Mabye like some aax's for main babys, or a groovy pair of new beats. Dunno.

[infeef]

i dont like dyno beats much, they are too meaty and heavy for me, they have a nice 'chick' though.

[Loyton]

i dont like dyno beats much, they are too meaty and heavy for me, they have a nice 'chick' though.

Same here.... but they WILL be nice as aux. hats.

O and if anybody wants to read about my wonderfully cool plans for my car go to the thread HAhaha (i hijacked it yes)


-edit my post count is sweet.

[Aaron]

^s'good though if you play heavy music, but have tonal taste ;)

[infeef]

they wouldent be bad for aux hats, they just dont have a versatile sound.

[Loyton]

they wouldent be bad for aux hats, they just dont have a versatile sound.


i totally agree. And to that other guy, i have great tonal metal taste.

[CombatWombat3]

Ok, as ruler of this thread, I order you all to take a break from whatever work you might be doing, go to your castle, put your feet up and drink a guiness. And try to at least act irish.

[Aaron]

Extra Stout of course?

[Aaron]

i totally agree. And to that other guy, i have great tonal metal taste.

sorry wasnting implying you dont, just didnt know you play heavy stuff. nice to know some metal brethren float around the stronghold too!

[Loyton]

sorry wasnting implying you dont, just didnt know you play heavy stuff. nice to know some metal brethren float around the stronghold too!


right now im bumping some orgasmic opeth.

-edit what kinda stuff you into?

[Aaron]

mixture. bleeding through, extol, DT at times, trivium, 18 visions, sunk loto, rush, atreyu, 1st/2nd korn albums, APC, tool, AFI, deftones, full scale, irrelevant, parkway drive, i killed the prom queen, killswitch engage, sonic youth, zeplinn.. heaps

[Futuro]

Am i the only drummer on this forum intrigued by rap? Ever since i got a job at a autoshop where they play Rap on the radio, I started liking it.

[bobby__johnny]

i keep pushing Evergrey to people....just such a great band. everyone check them out!

kinda dark, slightly progish metal...no screamos...everything melodic and heavy.

all the lyrics have a lot of feel and emotion in it.....just great music

I like rap a lot actually, I'm not a big listener, but whenever it's on the radio or soemthing, I'll turn it on. I like Atmosphere a lot, they're probably my favorite.

[CombatWombat3]

Wow...this kit is SO sexy! My god, I LOVE it! It's like Mace Windu's drumset.

[Juicy_Forlorn]

^That is a very sexy kit!

[Seafroggys]

I could never get into rap. The only rap where I thought "hey this is bearable" is this one local group in my area. I was at the studio where they cut their record and the guy showed it to us, pretty decent.

[Aaron]

dunt like that kit. poormans purple monster

[PremierManiac]

I could never get into rap. The only rap where I thought "hey this is bearable" is this one local group in my area. I was at the studio where they cut their record and the guy showed it to us, pretty decent.

I could never understand what people liked about it. It's just fake synthesized music with someone talking and yelling a lot. Rappers do seem to like saying their own name a lot don't they? (ex. Mike Jones, I'm so f***ing sick of everyone saying that).

[Aaron]

Question/Poll: What do we all do for work?

[Double Bass Jim]

i keep pushing Evergrey to people....just such a great band. everyone check them out!
Yea their a good band :cool:

[bobby__johnny]

Hmm I am intrigued...any recommended songs?

The Masterplan, A Touch Of Blessing, Nosferatu, More Than Ever, Harmless Wishes

pretty much anything really. they have a few songs that are either acoustic, or really mellow, flowing into heavy

[Juicy_Forlorn]

Awesome, thanks. I'll be sure to check them out:)

[poppinfresh]

oh i just heard today that the guitarist of rush visited the new school that im in now. I wish i was there. he said he played with van halen at one point.

[Double Bass Jim]

Ohh nice alex rules, one of my favorite players. One of the few who always has something totaly original throught his massive playing career.

[poppinfresh]

i completely agree with you, i have always been a fan of the riffs he comes up with.

did you get that drum magazine. I like how geddy lee and alex lifeson actually have 20 letter names.

[Double Bass Jim]

Not yet man, I gotta get it.

[poppinfresh]

hey jim, want me to get oyu anything at the steve gadd clinic?

[poppinfresh]

SIKE!!!

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Double Bass Jim]

Hahaha yea... I was lookin at that for a second.

"What would he get me anyway?" :lol:

[Simple Man]

What's up all?

Nothing intresting is on MX tonight :-/.

[poppinfresh]

i can probably get him to sign an amb

dude you rock doublebassjim

maybe if i tell him that i know doublebassjim he will give me his cymbals.

[Double Bass Jim]

Find out what kinda heads he's usin these days. I've seen em with some coateds mabey he's getting away from the pins finally.

[Win A Rabbit]

to loyton about the shrooms thing, don't expect to do them and then just sit around. i was expecting something like that, but it was the complete opposite for me. i wanted to go somewhere, and when we finally got to where i wanted to go, we'd want to go somewhere else, for the first half (around 3 hours). then the next 3 hours, it started wearing off, and i wanted to go for a little walk or something, but i just sat on my couch and watched tv, since everyone else was coming down too.

on a side note, me and my friends are doing shrooms again, and this time i know what to expect, so i'm hoping i enjoy it alot more. i think we may get one or more friends to do it too, since it was only 3 of us last time.

[rockindrummer]

Ahh thanksgiving dinner. One of the best meals of the year. I'm so full and tired, wow.

[Win A Rabbit]

i didn't eat much, since all the food looked/tasted terrible. i told my mom that we wouldn't be eating until atleast 8 (i think the earliest we've eaten there was about 7), and it was 8:30 when most of the food was ready, so we just grabbed some at that time and then got up to get more as the rest was ready. the turkey was so dry, and the gravy was so watery. and the potatoes, even though they looked quite good, tasted terrible. the carrots were so overcooked too, they were like baby mush. 2 of my friends had 4 thanksgiving meals each today. :lol:

[Double Bass Jim]

The turkey was so dry, and the gravy was so watery.
Ughhh man the two worst things that can happen. Watery gravy.. UGHHH

[rockindrummer]

That sucks sic. My turkey was so moist and I make a mean gravy. I didn't add any water or anything to lose any flavor :thumb: It was so damn good.

[PowerStamp]

um dudes, it's freakin OCTOBER, why are you having Thanksgiving dinner?


ANYWAYS, INFECTED for the PSP comes out in like a month, about freakin time!

Gonna see NORMA JEAN and DARKEST HOUR on wednesday, and the computer-recorder setup works great, sounds amazing, hopefully record some stuff on Tuesday and upload it

[Double Bass Jim]

Haha you should tally up all the shows you've seen man.

[Plan B.]

Oh man, my food was SO tastey!

[Double Bass Jim]

I tell ya their aint much better then turkey and mashed taters MAN it's good.

[Jezen]

Wish I had some food....

[Plan B.]

[Double Bass Jim]

um dudes, it's freakin OCTOBER, why are you having Thanksgiving dinner?



Canada man.

[Double Bass Jim]

I shoulda went up there for thanksgiving :lol:

Come on 2 in one year, you can't beat that.

[KWG]

haha my math teachers cousin is the lead singer in 3 inches of blood

[KWG]

oh and the turkey tonight was so juicy, was squirting on the table when it was being cut.

[Pauly]

Some of us were going to have thanksgiving last year, but we argued about the date and ended up forgetting.

We just had the Australian equivalent, a cold beer around the fire with your best mates. Its like thanksgiving every weekend... until summer comes and it gets too hot for the fire.

[Aaron]

then you sit in a kiddy pool in the back yard with beer floating round you.

[Josiah]

Oh you know I was going to post pictures.. ah screw it, easier...


Pool + Keg + BBQ + Saturday = Good Times.


Well weekends over, off to deal with retards.....

[Aes820]

then you sit in a kiddy pool in the back yard with beer floating round you.
A great suggestion, but the beer doesn't keep cool that way.

Just fill an eskie full of ice then pour in half a bag of salt. The salt lowers the freezing temperature of water. So instead of having Ice at 0 degrees celcius, you've got water at -16 degrees celcius. It chills beers perfectally.

Another good idea is to get one of those Co2 Fire Extinguishers, the ones with the big nozzels on 'em. Put the nozzel over a long-neck and give it a spray for a few seconds.

[Double Bass Jim]

This man knows his stuff ^^

[Aaron]

mm well i just like to chuck a bag of ice in when i chuck the beer in, then cook my steaks and get in. i love my girlfriend's parents for owning the local bottleshop and its ice-freezer

[Aaron]

nice join date Jimbo

[HeLLmO]

i never much cared for thanksgiving, it's the day AFTER thanksgiving man, thats what counts, get some bread, throw on some turkey, some stuffing, some mashed potato, some cranberry sause, now that is where its at. but i'm not the biggest turkey fan anyway. now, honey baked ham on the other hand, that stuf is the ****, it makes christmas happy times

edit-that was my first post in the stronghold, and its about food :thumb:

[Aaron]

[bobby__johnny]

Oh man, my food was SO tastey!

i ended up going to a restaurant, because i have to work today.

turkey was alright. Taters were awesome

and it came with a wicked bowl of cream of turkey and rice soup.....**** that was awesome

[spike9908]

did you get that drum magazine. I like how geddy lee and alex lifeson actually have 20 letter names.

yeah, Gary Lee Weinrib and Alexander Zivojinovich.

[Futuro]

Could I get this resized to fit as an av?

Can barely make it out when its 70 pixels

[Jezen]

I have just been going through Clayton Cameron's video, The Living Art of Brushes, and I gotta tell ya, it's incredibly fun! Brushes are soo awesome. Way better than sticks.

[Double Bass Jim]

Oh yea he's incredible, clayton RULES.

[billdrum]

Brushes are fun to play. It's becoming sort of a lost art.

And Spike.......Da Bears suck!

[Double Bass Jim]

Haha im a chicago fan and even admit that :lol:

The sox on the other hand... their kickin ***!

[spike9908]

Bill, i know the bears suck. i really have it as a tribute to chris farley more than anything. im probably going to change it some time.

BTW: im more of an eagles guy myself (mainly due to location more than anything. i dont really follow football until the superbowl.)

[Aaron]

^ i hate how none of my drumming mates play with brushes. they dont know how. its terrible. especially when i play at church and ask how i can stand playing a 3-piece with brushes aka "those soft things". pfft. groove and feel has really been replaced by chops hasn't it.

[poppinfresh]

Can barely make it out when its 70 pixels
hahaha
i love your avatars, how about a barbara streisand shrine next?

[Futuro]

groove and feel has really been replaced by chops hasn't it. no, theres still groove and feel...but who cares about that junk any more ;)

hahaha
i love your avatars, how about a barbara streisand shrine next? Yeah that might be cool. (Although i really like Franklin :) )

[billdrum]

Haha im a chicago fan and even admit that :lol:

The sox on the other hand... their kickin ***!

I'm hoping my Yankees get past the Angels tonight to play the Sox next!

[-TheGlassPrison-]

Welcome back NHL...

[KWG]

Cam Pipes (LEAD vocals, the high pitch AHHHHH-warrior) or the other guy? :P



i have no clue, he just told us he was in a metal band. Someone asked him which one and it took him a while to remember.

[Win A Rabbit]

Welcome back NHL...
i was never one for hockey. i'm not really much of a sports watcher at all, really. alot of it's too boring, i'd rather just watch highlights in the morning before i go to school.

[Futuro]

Welcome back NHL... What a crazy game. People get the chit kicked out of them, and the NHL only charges 5 bucks a ticket here.

[billdrum]

**** Canadians and their hockey.....

[KWG]

3 period is the best...sometimes the tension is too much i have to leave the room untill someone scores. I really hate the new rules, they've got to stop messing around with it or they will ruin it.

[Win A Rabbit]

http://www.ratemyteachers.com/

have any of you done this? i remember there was a big argument about this between parents and teachers and everything, and i thought i'd tell my teachers what i thought about them. i'm going to leave my name though, there's way too many people bashing teachers for no real reason and not leaving a name.

[Aaron]

no, theres still groove and feel...but who cares about that junk any more ;)

OMG ur teh wrong! joey sayz teh fe3l r0ckz yu n00b x100

[LoneStarDrummer]

[billdrum]

[poppinfresh]

[Win A Rabbit]

[Double Bass Jim]

Hahah yes :)

[poppinfresh]

[Loyton]

Im quite receptive. :p

[Loyton]

[Double Bass Jim]

[Double Bass Jim]

****! Yankees lost. I guess I'll have to root for the White Sox now, Jim. I do live in Illinois after all.
Ahh yea that was a rough game!

[rockindrummer]

No school again tomorrow. Teachers arn't getting wat they want yet.

[poppinfresh]

they are just angering everyone, thats not the right way to go about it, unless they have tried everything else, theyre dealing with a 1500-2000 parents, i dont know, theyve put themselves in a bad position

[rockindrummer]

^ The whole province is on strike man. Every school in all of British columbia (save private schools) don't have school tomorrow.

[Plan B.]

GODDAMNIT!!!

School tomorrow!!!

[rockindrummer]

teee heee.

Hockey's awsome to bad the canucks lost on saturday :upset:

[Plan B.]

I think I'm gunna get some orange juice to drink, and down some vitamins.

[Win A Rabbit]

yay, my migraine went away. hoorah for me.

well my dvd player only plays certain dvd's (my dad bought it for $10, i'm surprised it even works at all) so i was messing around with the menu to try to figure out why, and now it doesn't seem to work at all. d'amn.

i'm gonna go grab my gamecube from upstairs and bring it down to my room right away, it's been a long time since i played it.

[LoneStarDrummer]

the best page in the universe.

http://maddox.xmission.com/

this site is hilarious. check out his hate mail section after you read some of the other articles.

[Win A Rabbit]

it's amazing how people can still just be finding out maddox's website now. i thought i was late when i came across it almost 2 years ago. :lol:

he's quite entertaining though, but he hasn't updated in a long long time. i don't think i'll be picking up his book, since it's just going to be rants that you'd read once and then not really care about afterwards.

(1900th post) :chug:

[infeef]

wow i didnt think there was a person out there who hadnt heard of maddox, pretty entertaining stuff though.

[Jezen]

I have heard of him, and seen his site (i think), but I don't see whats so funny.

[KWG]

the thing is the techers don't have any other option, the goverment won't listen to them. So yes its screwing me over, but they either stick it out and win, becuae everyone supports them( well most) or strike for one week a year and get legislated back.

[styler]

wow, i feel bad, that was the first time i saw his site, thats good stuff

about the strike: who cares if the 1500-2000 people are pissed, there only pissed cuz they have to pay daycare when otherwise they can just ship there kids off to school..and the teachers are fighting for the right things, there on the right side of this whole thing...yes we need smaller classes, we need that very much. yes i think they should be paid more, asmuch as we dont like school, or our teachers, they help us become who we are and shape our world as we know it, is that not worth raising abit over the tobacco companies or mcdonalds? who make 1000 times more than almost any other companies on the planet?

apparently even after being legislated back there not going back. not till thursday at least, in which after that they will all be fined thousands of dollars out of there own pockets to fight for there cause

[rockindrummer]

^ Your in grade 12 I suppose. That sucks for you man, myself though I couldn't be happier for the break I was getting so tierd all the time during class, it really sucked.

[LoneStarDrummer]

it's amazing how people can still just be finding out maddox's website now. i thought i was late when i came across it almost 2 years ago. :lol:



my brother showed me that site about two years ago as well but i hadn't been to it in a while, so i decided to check it out again and let others know because i got some good laughs from it as always.

[KWG]

yes grade 12. One year ago i would have been so happy, but now its just like......**** this sucks everythings going to be cramed into us. But at the same time its good. Theve given us alot of stuff to do and i need to catch up on alot of stuff too so. Plus that more time to digest the multiple days of turkey :D

[Seafroggys]

Karn Evil 9 is such a cool song. ELP is one of the most talented bands of all time.

[Double Bass Jim]

I really really hate people like that. It's inhumane.

[Win A Rabbit]

i heard about that incident today at school, we were talking about it in social, then we had a fire drill. it was cold outside too, and my locker was in the other end of the school, so i couldn't get a sweater.

yum... cold turkey and hotsauce, with a glass of chocolate milk. doesn't get much better than this...

and i got another rant back that i did today, on female sexuality, etc. i got alot of people disagreeing with my views in my class, i'll post it tomorrow and see what you guys think about it.

[Double Bass Jim]

So I gotta buy new headphones today, hopefully I can find some good ones. The ones I had the left channel crapped out on me.

[Juicy_Forlorn]

The fire bell went off in my school today too...twice. Only it wasn't a drill, it was some idiots playing around with a can of axe and a lighter. You would think after the first time they would know not to do it again but no...an hour later the bell goes off again.

[Win A Rabbit]

one time, a kid actually tried to light the school on fire. he covered the whole bathroom in toilet paper, and lit it all on fire. it took months to replace everything, all the tiles were messed up, everything. i heard he used gas too, but i doubt he brought gas to school.

[Juicy_Forlorn]

Wow that's pretty crazy.

One time a couple years ago, the fire alarm went off for some reason, then afterwards me and a couple friends got called into the principals office because they thought we were smoking in the bathrooms and that we set off the alarms. It was pretty stupid. They even searched all our bags for cigarettes. And I didn't even smoke!

[poppinfresh]

oh, two garbage cans were lit on fire a few days ago, nothing bad happened. There was also a bimb threat at our school but they didnt tell us.

[spike9908]

everyone, DO NOT GO INTO THE THREAD TITLED "LOL" it is a pic. of gay p0rn.

[Der Meister]

I really really hate people like that. It's inhumane.

I'm not condoning it but you gotta have some sympathy for the police, they get treated like **** by people and get ripped by the media at first chance.

[Tim]

yea its rather disturbing. theres 2 floating around on the frotn d&p page

He has made 19 of these threads. Everyone of his posts is one of them. I know because I clicked find all threads by not a happy chappy. I think he must be a spambot, or clicked a thread generator.

[spike9908]

well, hes been reported a few times in the sever problems thread, so hopefully jim or someone will see it soon and ban him.

[Der Meister]

Actually, it is a bot.

They cant search your bags unless a cop is there, oyu should of yelled at them, and then they would get suspicious and angry then they would PWN themselves.

This security gaurd pulled a james bond and screeched in front of me as me ans my friend were passing a parking lot on the side walk. Almost ran over my feet. He thought we shot some ducks(with bb guns), i didnt have any id and he was calling the cops over so they could cite us. I thought it was funny, i knew who did it but i wanted to see what would happen. I asked if we were on a hidden cammera show but he ignored us then i kept asking him questions making it seem like a joke, i embarrassed him so much that he pretended to get a call and started talking on his walky talkie and ran into the car and drove away. That was a good day.

[Japan3gro]

Well I just got my HHX Groove Hats yesterday.....and I've been sleeping like crazy! lol I'mma play on them today though. Plan on getting a Ride for Christmas.

Groove hats, like, what a good name. Sabian is top notch with some of their names. Even if they sounded like ****, who cares they're GROOVE hats.

You'll have so many cool points with all those HHX (hats count for double, each cymbal).

[Japan3gro]

Yeah for sure man that thing is too good......also I wanna compare it with a Raw Bell Dry Ride haha, but I haven't seen one around here.

Yeah Plan B it was either those or the Manhattan Jazz hats. The other hats were out of my price range lol......13' K Custom Dark Hats.

[Double Bass Jim]

Choosing is one of the hardest things man, you can stand there for hours on end.

[Jezen]

Stannies have cooler names! SULTAN!! VEZIR!! AGOP!! PASHA!! etc...


I gotta admit, Bosphorous Fat Hats is a cool name.

[Drum Phil]

One of our teachers got headbutted by a 14 year old who was sposed to be in rehab :lol: it knocked him down a few notches

[Plan B.]

VEZIR!

:lol:

[Plan B.]

SULTAN!

:lol:

[Futuro]

Oh man! My boss's Wife came in today (Cute, little, dark haired lady, in her early 40s) and made some of us lunch (chicken, fettuccini, and alfredo sauce). Oh man was it good! She made the THICKEST Alfredo sauce I have ever tasted. As i ate it, i could feel it running down into my stomache. Oh god i was in heaven....

[The Ska Man]

I might be be getting a Bosphorus Stanton Moore 20" Wide Ride.

[Jezen]

Hahaha Wide Ride! :lol:

Their use of assonance is delightful.

[spike9908]

Choosing is one of the hardest things man, you can stand there for hours on end.

i hear ya on that. things going through my head when im choosing

"oh, but maybe if i hit it at this angle it will be better"
"wait, how long was that decay, i dont want it to be shorter than 3.25 seconds"
"damnit kid[playing on kit] shutup, im actually going to buy something"

every now and then you get luck and you hit a pair of hats or something and just know thats what your getting. ive had that happen on 2 occasions, with paiste crunch hats, and paiste dark energy splash.

[Ill Mitch]

Well, it's official. I'm in charge of our high school drumline next year. So Thursday at practice I'll get a little preview because the current section leader will be gone. I'm uber happy. :)

Oh, and I'm working on a drum call based on 6:00 by DT. It should be fun.

[Aaron]

Hahaha Wide Ride! :lol:

Their use of assonance is delightful.

Pang Thang!

[Jezen]

I think the name contributes alot to the sales. Who would ever buy a Zildjian K 20" Pansy Ride?

[Aaron]

or a Paiste 18" Whisper Crash Pink Coloursounds

[The Ska Man]

Pang Thang!


Awww man! I want one of those soooo bad.

[Aaron]

if i sit at work doing nothing for long enough, do you think they'll go past caring and start complimenting me for doing well??

[The Ska Man]

if i sit at work doing nothing for long enough, do you think they'll go past caring and start complimenting me for doing well??

Seems logical.

[Aaron]

[Plan B.]

I've said if before and I'll asy it again, Brian Chase makes me want to play just like him.

He's one my top 3 biggest influences.

[infeef]
