I wish they'd have lasted at least like, a day.

Jom: I only watched the first minute, which was about white supremacy groups...so I'd say that's pretty retarded...but I probably missed the important parts...I'm lazy though :-\

It gets... rather extreme in the middle. At any rate, I took it to PW&WI.

[QUOTE=YDload]Oh man, I'm only done with the first page of nominations and I already have 186 nominees! That means the list has almost doubled from my original 100 nominations, all because people are naming the most obscure and largely untalented death/black metal and metalcore guys they can think of! Ugh, they probably all sound the same too.
[/QUOTE]


There is quite a few unoticed talents in the extreme/obscure metal world when it comes to vocals due to the unpopularity of the music in general.

Garm
Vortex
Vintersorg
Valfar
Vladimir Lumi
Ihsahn
Paul Kuhr
Cornelius Von Jakhelln Brastad
Lars Nedland
Mikeal Stanne
Jari Mäenpää

etc etc

So meh.

NP - Finntroll - Fodosagan

Ugh page four done. So many names. The bassists nominations weren't this diverse when they ended, and I'm not even halfway through the vocalist list yet!

So many names.

You're doing a good job, YD. It'll be worth it in the end - don't be afraid to take a break or two.

Well I don't really have a choice but to take a break. I gotta go to sleep you know! I'll pick up on page 5 tomorrow, and hopefully Jon Anderson gets more votes. Seriously, how can you not just add a nomination for the man who sang "I'll be your roundabout?"

/me adds Jon Anderson nomination <_<

Heh. My week is looking up. I was over at a friend's dorm this evening and got to test out a bunch of tricks for his friends. Their favorite was one where I shuffle up the deck and have them pick a card at random. I never see the card. They then right it down on a sheet of paper (again, I don't see it), and fold it up. Then, I burn it.

I take the ashes and rub them into my arm, and before their eyes, the name of their card appears on my skin in the ash.

Got a hell of a reaction from them. I need to nail just a few more tricks and I'm going to start doing stuff like this around town for tips.

In other news, an acquaintance told me that Drowning Pool got rid of that second singer guy and are trying to find a third singer guy. I'm sure you're all thrilled.

But I also received another solicitor spam mail from a fine fusty African gentleman walrus today:

[quote]Dear Friend,
I am Barrister Allen Bill, a Solicitor. I am the Personal Attorney to
Mr. Steve Mcdonalds who used to work with Chevron Oil Development
Company in Nigeria.

On the 21st of April 2003, his wife and their three children were
involved in a car accident along Abuja Express Road.Unfortunately,
they all lost their lives in the event of the accident.

Since then I have made several enquiries to your Embassy to locate
any of my clients relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.

After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to trace his
relatives over the Internet to locate any member of his family but to
no avail, Hence, I contacted you to assist in repatriating the money
left behind by my client in a Security Company.

Particularly, the Security Company where the deceased deposited the
US$30 Million (Tharty Million United States Dol! lars only).
Consequently, this Security Company issued me a notice to provide the
Next of Kin to claim the US$30 Million (Tharty Million United States
Dollars only) in their custody within the next ten official working
days.

Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2
years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of
the deceased to claim the fund as the Next of Kin to him so that the
Security Company will transfer the fund to youraccount.

Upon receipt of the fund, I will come over to your country to meet
with you for the disbursement of the fund and then you and I will
share the money in this order: 55% will be for me, 40% will be for
you, while 5% will be used on expenses incurred.

I have all the necessary legal documents that can back our claim we
may make with the Security Company.

All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal
through. I guarantee that this will be executed under! a legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the
law.

Please, get in touch with me by my secured and confidential email
address at: (link to e-mail) to
enable me clarify you further.
Best regards.
Barrister Allen Bill.[/quote]

What a fine fusty African gentleman walrus.

I love email scams. It's not like they could ever make it a believable amount...they always say "Hey, I'm going to give you a few million dollars! For free!"

Hey YDload, if you give me a link I will help count the nominations for you, if you want?

My maths teacher could do that last year. It was awesome. He did a few other cool things as well but my mind has currently gone blank. I have no idea how he did them either.

For your own sanity it is best that you do not. Plus there are little discrepancies that will make you hurt yourself in frustration, not to mention the sheer tedium of numbers :angry:

I have nothing to do for the next 2 hours, I'm sitting here finding myself hitting refresh every 5 minutes, it would do us both a favour :D

Why has the Frontman nominations thread been open so long? Seems a lot longer than usual..

The scary thing is that these ridiculous scams wouldn't still be around if no one was falling for them. Which means that somewhere out there, some nimrod has dollar signs in his eyes and is eagerly replying.

That's the beauty of it. I like to add a little spice to my routines by adding extra mystique as I'm talking. I do the ashes trick with a monologue about voodoo, and it really creeped everyone out.

[QUOTE=Steerpike]That's the beauty of it.[/QUOTE]

Indeed it is. Although it means I have to look at a heap of dodgy websites if I ever want to learn anything. If I did know how to do something I doubt I'd tell anyone how though.

Who cares?


I got an Email like that last week too.
I occasionally have a look if something has been caught by the spam filter.
it's fun laughing at these wankers.

Well, most magicians take their craft pretty seriously. Giving away secrets is only something you do from teacher to student. I'm teaching a couple of friends my simplest tricks, but the ones like I did tonight I'm holding onto until I know they're more serious about it.

My dad and I are actually thinking of joining the street magicians' guild, so we're really into this stuff.

magicians stuff is really cool to watch, i've never been able to do it though :upset:
you should go for that guild though, could get a long way with it.

NP: Blind Guardian - I'm Alive.

Well, my dad will definately join. He's been progressing quickly in magic. He's a member of the Toastmasters, and uses a lot of street magic in most of his recent speeches.

magic ++

well, even though i'm ill, i almost want to be at school, i'm so bored. and nightwish - wishmaster is downloading at about 6kbs (st00pid megaupload), so about 3 hours 'til it finishes.

She's played it over and over and over again so far...and last week she kept playing "Hey Mickey" or whatever that song is with all the cheerleaders...you know, "Oh Mickey you so fine, you so fine you blow my mind hey mickey!"...(annoyed to the point of aggravation).

You're from Mississippi. You should know.

im just against being subjected to music that could possibly piss you off that much...


reminds me of the time when i used to work at Hoss's steak and sea house (dishwasher)


There would be this WEIRD guy that would work with me 2 day out of the week <cringe>. He was definitely not right in the head. Partially mentally retarded me thinks (seriously).

anywho, I'd come in, and he always have these sh!tty country stations on. After a week, I was having it any longer. I would change the station to something rock oriented. He would get pissed, change it back, and tell me "you're gonna go to hell for this..." in a very whiny tone. the dude was like 40 or something...


yea he hated me cause i would always fuk with the radio. apparently no one would ever say something to him, consider his condition. I just treated him like i would anyone one else :lol:
