Well, here's the thing. Fully clothed, I'm roughly 128 pounds, and I'm 5"9. Prior to that, the most alcohol I'd ever comsumed was three beers about a month before during a Reach for the Top practice. Also, I hear that having shooters and hard liquor after the beer tends to encourage the vomit.

I'm addicted to just plain, regular Minesweeper, which I assume isn't the same thing. But I can quit whenever I want. I just don't want to.

First time in a bar was my 18th birthday. Oh god, soooo drunk. The basic idea of the evening was, "the liver is evil. It must be punished." I threw up twice, then again in the strip club I was dragged into, then twice more when I got home. Then I woke up at 6 AM to study for my IB higher level history exam at 9 AM. Then I threw up 5 more times.

I honestly don't know. Now that you mention it, they probably are. I had forgotten all about them. I just found this floating around on the internets, I don't remember where.

10/10 That's a really nice picture. Did you take it yourself?

I'm also starting university this year. Adam, as to your lack of clothes, just grab $40 and head to the nearest Value Village or other thrift store. It's all you'll need.

10/10 Because ;) a change will do you good :angry: I rock.

I agree ;) . Actually, now that you mention it, a great show would've been when MGB opened for The Who back in 1996 in Vancouver. Didn't Matt's guitar catch on fire?

I disagree. It's an elitist attitude that I think is quite immature. While the people who buy the albums solely for the singles are annoying as hell, they're a far cry from people who you turn on to his music by showing them his best songs. I played my ex Advertising on Police Cars and got her hooked immediately. My grandma likes Avalanche, and my dad enjoys WLR&RR. It's these kinds of people who can get to enjoy the music for what it is, and it feels good to turn people on to your favourite musicians. Personally, when I find out about a great new band, I can't wait to share it with my friends. I think we can both agree on the fact that Matt makes great music, and furthermore that his music deserves a far higher scale of recognition than it currently gets. The same can be said for hundreds of other artists, and I think that as fans of his, we should spread his music and increase the number of people who can enjoy it. Spread the "goodness" (yeah, I'm cool. I made a pun). I know, he likes being a low-key guy and not having to deal with all the label and popular pressures, but I'm sure that doesn't mean he doesn't want people to not listen to his music. It feels good to know that people are enjoying what you create. I know this firsthand, and judging from what I've read and heard, so does Matt. Granted, not everyone will like his music, but even if only one person takes an interest, then the word is still getting out and a fantastic musician is getting the recognition he deserves. PS. I've decided to refer to Matt's music as "thinking man's rock". Just felt you all needed to know that.

I don't think it was actually a single. I've heard it a few times, but those have been requests, and a few other non-single songs have been played as well. Giant and Suburbia were two other songs mentioned in another thread, and I heard Empty Road on the radio a couple years ago before IBAWSIWYM was released as a single.

Isn't it a sample from a movie? There's Only One Jimmy Grimble, or something along those lines.

I'd sell the time machine to the highest bidder.

You'll be the baddest badass in the fourth grade. Fred Penner was quite the shit. Didn't he do a version of 'Sing, Sing, Sing'? Raffi had nothing on him. Al Simmons wasn't bad, though. and an ex navy seal! Wow. Bit of a 180 there, eh?

'Omissions', but only because 'Haven't Slept in Years' isn't the Raygun version.

10/10 Apparently, you can bomb the world into peace.

The War Is Over. I love the organ.

The good thing about that 'Riding Dirty' song is that now they have a more appropriate song to play when they announce the winner of the Dirtiest Car in the Parking Lot at baseball and football games.

And if she doesn't go for that, there's always the strawberry shortcake (if you don't know what that is, look it up on urbandictionary.com).

Just tell her you forgot the condoms.

Or you could get drunk and fight inanimate objects. That's the right thing to do.

20/10 That's just too awesome.

Let's have some fun with the Bible and homosexuality. "As anyone who has read any recent literature on the topic will be able to tell, there is no word for homosexuality in Greek or Hebrew so while the Bible condemns many things, what we call homosexuality isn't one of them. First we have to define homosexuality. But that's a digression. Let me leave that aside and turn to the texts. What does Romans 1 and I Cor 6:9 condemn? In the former case, idolatry. One of the behavioral consequences of idolatry is people who engage in same-sex relations by substituting the truth of God for a lie and who do things that are para physin (beyond nature). Romans 8 makes it clear that even while the pagan world of Romans 1-2 and the Jewish world of 3 falls under the judgment of God, nothing separates either from the love of God. I Cor 6:9 lists behaviors that will not enter the kingdom, including the Greek terms malakos and arsenokoites. When the term homosexuality was invented in the 19th Century, it appeared in some modern translations and replaced earlier translations relating the terms correctly to men e.g. tyndale for arsenokoites "abusers of themselyves with the mankynde." Sometimes an attempt was made in modern translations to separate the act from the person, so for arsenokoites read "practicing homosexuals." (This was at one time proposed for the NRSV). A way to get at the meaning of arsenokoites is to look at other contexts in which the Greek word appeared independently of Paul. These other occurrences (Sibylline Oracles 2.70-77, Acts of John; Theophilus of Antioch Ad Autolycum) suggest that the word refers to some kind of economic exploitation by means of sex (but not necessarily homosexual sex). Perhaps the more important question is why some scholars are certain the word refers to male-male sex in the face of evidence to the contrary. Perhaps ideology has been more important than philology! Malakos occurs widely in ancient sources and refers to the softness of expensive clothes, the richness of food, the gentleness of winds and breezes. The term refers to the effeminacy or softness of which penetration by another man is a sign or proof; it does not refer to the sexual act itself. In philosophical texts, the plural term malakoi are those who cannot put up with hard work. Xenophon uses the term for lazy men. In Josephus and Plutarch (both first century writers from different cultural backgrounds), cowards are malakoi. In the ancient world effeminacy was implicated in heterosexual acts just as much as homosexual. Chariton in his novel Chaeras and Callirhoe provides a typical portrait of an effeminate man: he has a fresh hairdo, is scented with perfume, he wears eye makeup, a soft (malakos) mantle, and light swishy slippers; his fingers glisten with rings. He is off to seduce a woman! Why, given all the ancient evidence, some of which I have mentioned here, was the translation "effeminate" for I Cor 6:9 rejected by Bible translations? Because it reinscribes the misogyny of the term? Because condemnation of something socially embarrassing could hardly be called the word of God? In short: the allegation that the New Testament condemns homosexuality is not just poor but lazy and inexcusable scholarship. An attempt by some scholars to interpret I Cor 6:9 by taking malakos to mean the passive partner and arsenokoites the active partner is based on circular reasoning. The meaning of arsenokoites is problematic. There is no evidence that malakos was ever considered as a technical term for a passive partner. (There are other terms for passive and active partner in Greek. They never appear in the NT) Malakos' general meaning of effeminate is independent of sexual position or object. To define malakos arsenokoites is to define something already clear by something that is obscure." http://members.aol.com/DrSwiney/gensem.html Just some food for thought.

I remember being in Cuba. Che's image was far more common than Fidel's.
