when is the new album being released?
why don't they ever come to atlanta?

Kage 05-15-2005 05:45 PM

They never go to Atlanta because they hate going to cities that start with the letter [i]A[/i] and even more than that, they hate states that start with [i]G[/i]. Looks like you're outta luck. :-\

two words:bogus dude!

Huber 05-15-2005 06:28 PM

Hey, that's not cool. You wouldn't be talking like that if you had an A-G-phobia.

Piecewise 05-15-2005 06:33 PM

hmmm, it sounds serious too

In chains, and anyone else interested...

If you look for a lil red dot floating around the bottom of the screen, you can click it and up pops an article on lachrymology written by Blair.

Yup, that's the weird type of humor they have...

Wait, since when am I interested in Lachrymology :confused:

Dr. Jake Destructo 05-15-2005 07:02 PM

I bolded the parts that confuse me.

Basically, I would like to know what the significance of Saturn is, why 'choose one or ten' wtf a Scarlet Letterman is, and why I want to hold onto this cornerstone.

Thx in advance

Saturn was used do to the whole mid life chrisis thing occuring when saturn returns to the poistion it was in when you were born.... But I can't answer your other questions.

Dr. Jake Destructo 05-15-2005 10:03 PM

Hm. Very obscure. So then the song is between..2 older folks? :confused: Elaborate, if you can, please.

Anyways, I was looking for some cool tool wallpapers, and it dawned on me how sweet it would be if I was Adam Jones. He's a badas[B][I][/I][/B]s. Just a random thought of mine that I thought I'd share.

Huber 05-15-2005 11:07 PM

The Scarlett Lettermen thing I'm almost positive is a reference to the book called [i]The Scarlett Letter[/i]. The book is about a girl who wears an A on her chest that stands for adultory because she had an affair with another man. She was looked upon by everyone as a slut, when all she did was simply love another person.

Note: Her real husband lived in like, another country or something so it made more sense then what I typed first.

The cornerstone thing I'm not really sure about, but this is what I thought of it as:

If I'm right, which I might not be, a cornerstone is something you would hold onto when climbing something. So if you don't hold on to it tightly, it will all come down. So whatever you translate as "it" being clutched should be held on to.

I read a VERY interesting interpretation of the album Lateralus where it had to do with Naohs ark and the whole sory of Noah or whatever. I have no clue where though... It was really cool though.

jensmatty 05-16-2005 01:34 AM

A conerstone is the indispensable and fundamental basis of something, eg "the cornerstone of an argument". so yea... work it out from there? I can't think of the words to explain it.

There is some religion or belief system whose name I can't remember now, but when Saturn returns to the position it was at when you were born, which takes 30 years to do, you are supposed to give up all your grudge's.

YouGottaBeCrazy 05-16-2005 01:11 PM

On the topic of "The Grudge, I believe the thing about Saturn and every 27 years and reinventing your life is true. The Scarlet Letterman is pretty obviously a reference to "The Scarlet Letterman", and maybe the song is actually about someone who was wrongfully accused of something and he can't let it go and he's still very angry about it. Maybe The Grudge is Maynard talking to himself, who knows? Oh, and I also have no clue what "Choose one or ten" means. A cornerstone is the basis of something. If you clutched a grudge as your cornerstone, it would mean that you would hold that as a strong belief of how to live life. Did that make sense? It's kinda' hard to put into words.

Go check out Toolband... theres a cool update about Dannys birthday party.

It seems you've been able to prove your theory beyond a reasonable doubt.

Well said.

And about the desktops changing, yeah, I do that too. I've got about twenty that change every half hour.

Dried Muffin Remnants 05-16-2005 07:30 PM

While Adam Jones may not be the most technically skilled, he is a great composer and has the best sounding guitar I've EVER heard. He knows how to use technology.

EDIT: My desktop wallpaper owns ALL of yours

yeah, i think what the red lettermen indicates (and this is also signifying the midlife crisis thing here) is that he is 'the messenger' so to speak on a red letter day (perhaps the day of the crisis, beginnig or end)?

just my POV

'Just remember that i will always love you, as i throw your fu<king throat away...'

Darkness 05-16-2005 08:03 PM

I beleive its claw.

Epigoth 05-16-2005 08:10 PM

thank you. i left my Aenima album at a friends house, and had to resort to mudvayne to fill the gap... the horribly laaaaaarge gap. not easy to do.

thx again.
