DoctorDitko Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 TMBG FTW! When my son was six he could sing "The Sun is a Mass of Incandescent Gas" all the way through, but we never got it on video. (I was usually driving him to daycare). I blame the subsequent news that the song is almost entirely incorrect for his later avoidance of a career in Science! "Miasma of Incandescent Plasma" just doesn't have the same ring.

To bring it back to the "old" theme, it was their tour (now mostly postponed until 2021) commemorating the 30th anniversary of their album Flood. It was a great show. 1 Who run Bartertown?

Banazir Galasbor Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I am 56 and 7/12ths years old. Counting the modern movie there have been 9 actors that have played the three stooges. Usually the three in the movie don't count as they are playing 3 of the original 6. The three stooges are: Moe, Larry, Shemp, Curly, Joe, & Curly Joe My favorite old timey trivia: Who is the Lone Rangers Great Nephew? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a stand-out among my favorite albums! I happened across the CD at the public library, and checked it out on a whim, circa 1993. I was really pissed at all my friends when I raved about it and they all said, "Well, yeah, we knew about TMBG." Bastards didn't tell me, did they? I have since forgiven them, but it took a while. 9 minutes ago, Ironblade said: His name was Nikola, not Nikolai. Damn! This, kids, is why you should never be your own proofreader!

I can't remember his character's name, but the "Missus Hu-whiggins" and the agonizingly slow shuffle (to the point where he could regularly corpse* Carol) was one of the funniest things I can remember from that era. * Beware tvtropes link: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Corpsing 1 Disclaimer: Not a medical doctor.

You don't get wiser, you just remember all the mistakes you made when you were younger. Then you pretend you are wiser to the youngsters. Oops.

This thread isn't character related. 1 If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore. (It seems I'm involved with so much at this point that I may not be able to easily retrieve access to all the notifications) Some players know that I have them on ignore and are likely to make posts knowing that is the case. But the fact that I have them on ignore won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable. Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
