Hey Nath, where's Southern Riverina? I've never heard of it before

I'm in Finley which is right in the center of it. It's about 3 hours up from you Melbournites.

Voodoo - my band has a grind filler - the Grind joke. We tell an offensive joke and ba-dum-chhhh into 15 seconds of improv grind.

We played a show tonight. The kiddies went wild. Then some dude with an As I Lay Dying shirt talked to me about guitar playing. I wanted to tell him it's a good thing he doesn't play because he'd probably play crap, like As I Lay Dying.

I played an impromptu song at a friend's magazine release party yesterday. I randomly jammed on stage and Dierdre did this almost cabaret rendition of her poem that was published in the magazine. We ended with a kazoo solo. Then my string broke right on cue. My first finger bled cos steel acoustics arent meant to be played that hard if your pick flies off into the crowd. Noel, who played that guitar (twas hers to begin with) thought it was exciting to play a blood splattered guitar. Heh.

No, actually I lose. Cuz that means I have much less free time, which makes me a big loser. I would highly advise no one with any sanity to take that many credit hours. I thought it would be a piece of cake, turns out I was way wrong.

Oh, and has anyone heard anything from a band called The Spill Canvas? I've only heard one song and I'm not sure if I should bother picking up their CD or not. Any thoughts?

I was just making a joke on that last comment.

As for The Spill Canvas, the new cd is okay, same with All Hail The Heartbreaker. The Tide, if it's the song you heard, is the standout of all their generic songwriting. If you want the new cd, IM me and I'll send it to you.

Okay here's a question I heard some comedian asked during a show. I can't remember his name but his dead now.

"My belt holds up my pants, but the loopholes on my pants hold up my belt, so who is the real hero?"

Answerable?

Solar

11-16-2005, 07:37 PM

You can tie a belt tight enough so you don't need loopholes, therefore the belt is the winner.

Littlejohn

11-16-2005, 07:43 PM

You can buy tight enough pants so that a belt is not required. It is obviously a trick question. Friction is the hero.

Well when he died, it WAS from a drug overdose, it was in the reports.

Mitch Hedburg was so funn.y half an hour of one liners. It's amazing.

TojesDolan

11-16-2005, 10:15 PM

I usually base my humor in real life with one liners. When I go to far in the joke, I mess up and everyone stare at me... awfully.

And the answer is 4. Or maybe that Jesus has something to do with that.

Which reminds me I just watched "The exorcism of Emily Rose"...

ugh. It's "exorcist", but less exciting and less "**** me! **** me!".

Disco Dragon

11-16-2005, 10:28 PM

Are you serious? "Emily Rose" was better than the original "Exorcist." The Exorcist isn't remotely frightening, actually it's just plain laughable. Maybe had I seen it when it first came out I would have a different opinion. Although I did get a kick out of her masterbating with a crucifix. That sh|t was funny.

Hey I am new at this and thought I would try write something for the "recoil" challenge.

Recoil to relate

My words and mere lines drawn with purpose.
These sentences set to stimulate the thoughts.
I don’t know what they mean to you, or how you understand.
To understand is to have lived,
To live is to die, the minute we are born to this world,
Is the minute we start to die.

To know that death comes to us all ,
To know that we will be no more,
Is to set up for a fall.
That scares me to my core.
But from this I recoil - I spring back
I will never let the knowledge of defeat end me.
If I did my life would mean jack.
I am not a memory yet, its destiny.

I recoil to relate,
This is a twisted fate.
I never chose to live, I choose not to die.
To say I am not afraid is a lie.
I will never admit my fear,
The fact I am here,
Is reason enough to let me believe there’s more.

I recoil back to my own world,
I will return to the modern day.
I will no longer hide,
face first I collide,
With the never changing,
never missing,
never broken,
words more honest never spoken.
The End.
