[QUOTE=rockinbass17]I think so..... is that the series with The Black Caulrdon?[/QUOTE]

Yep, they're some of my favorites.

I think the reason I don't want to see Redwall turned into a movie is because it was one of the first books I REALLY enjoyed and it has just because a peice of my childhood I hope never gets destoryed.

Yeah, I read them a while back. I remember liking them alot.
It's coming back to me now. My favorite one was Taran Wanderer, which I think was second to last.
I think they're better than LOTR.
Anyone here read Eargon? Or the new one?

YAYAYYWYRWE9AHJR ERAGORN the author lives like 20 mins away from me, ya sup I'm cool.

I read the first when it came out 5 years ago, it took him way too long to write a second and really don't like fantasy any more so I don't know if I'll enjoy it as much as I would've 5 years ago or whatever.

I've read some of the Redwall books. I liked them.

I like LOTR a lot. I haven't read through all the books yet, but I still like them a lot. The idea of another world is interesting.

[QUOTE]Anyone here read Eargon? Or the new one?[/QUOTE]

I've heard about those books, but have been rather skeptical to read them. The author's 17 or something, isn't he? He's pretty much set for life then. :lol:

Because this fred moves way too fast around this time of noche, I'm backtracking to the Scouts stuff. I'm in Scouts, but I do think most of the stuff in Scouts is really messed up. Basically, I'm in a troop that doesn't do any of that stupid, pointless stuff. We go on campouts, play poker, burn sh[size="2"]it[/size], etc. We do 99% of our merit badge stuff at our meetings, and in our troop it's really easy to get Eagle. I'm 14 and a Life Scout, in other words I just have to do a few more merit badges and do my Eagle project to get Eagle. A friend my age who is a lot like me, not an overachiever by any means, etc., he's already an Eagle.
Our troop basically just does fun stuff. We basically go by the rule that first-years do the half-year program at meetings to skip three ranks and get directly to First Class when it takes most people like two years, the first years get semi-hazed on campouts and stuff (nothing serious, just practical jokes), get to clean up meals and stuff, but we also basically initiate them, usually I find one cool first-year and just make him my apprentice and show him all the stupid stuff we do. We play tackle capture-the-flag at night and stuff, good times.
At summer camp we never do the stuff the whole camp does. Basically, we have a crappy regional summer camp for all the troops, so we invited ourselves to the awesome camp in the mountains, and manhandled us a really good campsite with adirondacks instead of crappy tents. Then we proceed to skip all the stupid camp-wide bonfires and stupid stuff like that to go hiking and stuff. One time me and my friend just took some first-years one day and hiked like 10 miles across the mountains and stuff. It was pretty awesome. We break open glowsticks at night and put the stuff on this one guy with a machete, and he runs through all the other campsites, into the tents, screaming and swinging the machete around randomly and stuff. We decided the food at camp sucked, so we started leaving camp every night to go to Ryan's in the town near us. Camp security came to our camp once, all they found was this one fat older guy sleeping in front of the campfire.
I guess what I'm trying to get at is, don't think all Scouts are really "Scouts" :thumb:

[QUOTE=Illmatic]The movies had the all-white good guys fighting and killing black bad guys in black armor who come from the black mountain (and yet take orders from a white wizard...hi slavery). c'mon it's hard for me to root for that.

In all seriousness the movies were just boring boring boring. It's like 3 hours of Rudy, Elijah Wood, and that faggy elf guy run up and down the country side with a few fights thrown in here and there.[/QUOTE]

Haha, not at all surprising that you'd mention something about race when talking about Lord of the Rings. Who at all thought from reading the books, that there was racism going on? It certainly didn't dawn on me. Of course, it was probably set like an extremely long ago, there weren't a whole lot of Malcoms and Martins around. I think there was sort of a racism thing going on between the hobbits and the normal men too, didn't hobbits always have to escape men? That's at least how either The Hobbit, or LotR, or some other Tolkien book was...did he even right any books that didn't relate to Middle Earth? That's intense, I heard he had entire languages completely written out and people would talk entirely in those languages at the geeky Harvard literature type social gatherings.

I still have like a page of reading to go before I'm caught up to the current conversation...so I'm just replying to this and then skipping ahead a few pages. I'll think of the best discussion yet!!! :amaze:

edit - Holy ****! ^^^ and I thought MY posts were long!!! That's insane.

Ya I skimmed it because I was in shock that someone is in the Boy Scouts. I was in it for about a week till I decided it was to hardcore for me.

Wow your young, I could see that that was apparent in your posts now that I think about it. Well good for you getting into music at such a young age. When I was 14 I my favorite band was Jane's Addiction... they still are but whatever.

14?

man what a fagget, ill just not listen to him.

Ok, I get it, I sound like a kid in my posts. I've said how old I am in MX before, everyone always says they didn't realize how old I was. I guess that's why everyone else in here always is more conversational about religion and drugs and stuff, I'm really still not sure about all that.

That comment just made me very close to spamming this thread. Obviously no one in here is gonna look down on you because of your age. Everyone in here acts like a 12 year old half the time anyway.

By the way...that picture of Keith Richards and Neil Young that was posted a few pages back...I could definitely point out who was on coke and who was on coke [I]and[/I] heroin. Cool picture though, it's nice that at least a few drug addicts manage to still love their music more than their drugs. Guaranteed that there have been at least a few guitarists who had the potential or were destined to become better guitarists than Hendrix/Clapton/Gilmour etc but they chose drugs instead. I bet Dylan could have easily died before he even made it to New York...his dad told him to go work in the mines and those things are death traps, he could have died while hitchiking to New York. I'm thinking too much. I'm going to bed.

edit - man, it took me so long to type out this post. I was going to be the first one to reply to that comment. And I laughed very loud at Illmatics daycare joke. I can't believe I said that no one would make fun of his age.

Some of the best guitarists did drugs, herion to be exact. Clapton, SRV, Harrison, Page, etc.

[QUOTE=guitrguy]Some of the best guitarists did drugs, herion to be exact. Clapton, SRV, Harrison, Page, etc.[/QUOTE]

I always thought Clapton was so dam lucky he didn't overdose. From what I heard about his reclusive period he just sat in his house all day shooting herion. Hes had so many problems in his life its a wonder he is still here. A blessing, but still a wonder.

Actually their peak playing was in the middle of being a junkie.

Way too many people get into heroin. That's the kind of stuff you should know to stay away from. I could never even touch my tongue to a heroin needle...I have a very addictive personality. And I like to feel gooooood. I have something that is four steps down on the badness scale but is similar in effect to heroin. Kratom leaves. They are used to get opium addicts off of opium, but they were made illegal in Thailand because everyone got addicted to kratom instead. And if you know your drugs, you'd know that heroin is synthesized from morphine, and morphine (and codeine) are the two main drugs in opium. I haven't actually tried the kratom leaves yet, I've wanted to, but it's hard to find a time and place to try them with my two friends (who pitched in on them). So they are sitting in my closet.

edit - And guitrguy, you can't tell me Pages peak was when he was a junkie. Why do you think JPJ took over on ITTOD. Page wouldn't even stand to play at concerts anymore. BB King just started sitting a couple years ago and he's a freakin fossil, no disrespect to Mr. King.

[QUOTE=guitrguy]Actually their peak playing was in the middle of being a junkie.[/QUOTE]

Clapton's peak playing was way after he beat his addiction. But Page's was probably in the middle.

Wasn't achilles last stand in the middle of his addiction. If kratom is like Opium it will create an out of body experience.

[QUOTE=RNR]Clapton's peak playing was way after he beat his addiction. But Page's was probably in the middle.[/QUOTE]

Page's peak was not when he was a junkie! I think Page's peak was in the early to mid seventies. He wasn't a junkie until the later seventies. I'm not saying he didn't do drugs before that, but I'm talking heroin addiction.

Well, if you consider Achilles to be Pages finest work, then I suppose you are right. I don't though. I consider his live playing on The Song Remains the Same to be his best. But I also prefer his raw stuff to his more polished songs.

lies. unless you consider the stale, made-for-radio albums he's been making recently his "playing peak."

i think his playing peak was during his addiction, during his stint with derek and the dominos. it was so passionate and fiery. his playing now, in a technical sense, is pretty good. he's still very smooth. it just lacks that fire and tension he gave during what i consider his peak.
