we can be what we like, you're not the boss of us :p

Because Seth Puttnam is still on crutches.

things seem a bit different since the gender thread. or maybe i am PARANOID.

it was the thunderstorm

― mark s (mark s), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 21:35 (twenty years ago)

I have no idea what any of this is about.

electricity

― mark s (mark s), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 21:37 (twenty years ago)

Because most of us are writing on PCs

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 21:37 (twenty years ago)

Yes, okay that I understand. Something about Ben Franklin, right?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 21:38 (twenty years ago)

why is ILM so politically correct?

this is what happens in a welfare society dominated by the radical left wing MSM!

― Mickey (modestmickey), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 21:39 (twenty years ago)

the gender thread.

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 21:40 (twenty years ago)

i still say electricity

whatev!

― Edgware General (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 21:41 (twenty years ago)

I'm sorry I meant MAC sucks ass. Terrible terrible eyeliner.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 21:44 (twenty years ago)

Good pressed powder though.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 21:44 (twenty years ago)

yes, MAC is horrible - and I report from my unique and informed female perspective.

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 21:52 (twenty years ago)

Nothing wrong about being PC or left wing as long as you are speaking of politics. Once you claim that music has a political view (or even, a skin colour) you are completely lost though.

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 21:56 (twenty years ago)

??? That's insane.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 21:58 (twenty years ago)

So New Model Army were just a party band?

Haha. Most unexpected.

― RS (Catalino) LaRue (RSLaRue), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 22:01 (twenty years ago)

"today it is a lot more important to save melody in popular music from the tyranny of dissonance (or, more prominently, the completely dominance of rhythm and a lack of tunes or harmony)" = a political position

― mark s (mark s), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 22:03 (twenty years ago)

you guys are nancing all over this thread like a bunch of kweers

― Gear! (Ill Cajun Gunsmith) (Gear!), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 22:05 (twenty years ago)

tho a bit of a pointless one

RAPE
RAPE
RAPE
RAPE

I drank a case of whiskey
And you looked like Jeanine Jizm
I drank another case of whiskey
And you looked like Roseanne Barr

You were to ugly to rape, so I beat you up
When I looked at you, I had to throw up

I drank a case of whiskey
And you looked like Sheila Micheals
I drank another case of everclear
And you looked like Ileana Douglas

These people hate The Levellers.

Need I say more.

Ileana Douglas is officially hot. Did you see her on "Six Feet Under" last week? Good god.

― On a Strict El Cholo Diet (Bent Over at the Arclight), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 22:19 (twenty years ago)

her penis-claw film-pitch speech in "search and destroy" is one of my seven all-time favourites in all film and TV

better than that bit w.ally sheedy in "oxford blue"

― M. White (Miguelito), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 22:25 (twenty years ago)

Maybe it's because a certain someone was quietly shown the exit?

― PC Pete, Tuesday, 28 June 2005 22:25 (twenty years ago)

electricity has no up or down

― mark s (mark s), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 22:26 (twenty years ago)

― Susan Douglas (Susan Douglas), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 22:27 (twenty years ago)

if music doesn't have a skin color, why does black people never want to rock?!?!?!?!?

― Mickey (modestmickey), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 22:46 (twenty years ago)

I find ILM more Mac than PC.

Sorry, I'll get my coat.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 22:53 (twenty years ago)

Jesus, not only was it a lame joke, it was an unoriginal joke. I'm going to go gargle from the toilet now.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 22:54 (twenty years ago)

Rory Mayberry, a former KBR food service manager, discussed some of the overcharges in a videotaped statement. He said the company served troops food that had been expired for as long as a year, provided Turkish and Filipino workers with leftovers in trash bags rather than culturally appropriate food, and overcharged for 10,000 meals per day in order to make up for a financial sanction imposed by the Pentagon.

― RS (Catalino) LaRue (RSLaRue), Tuesday, 28 June 2005 22:56 (twenty years ago)

Because I've joined and I was born in PC (Panama City).

You mean, as in why when people post lists of artists do they feel compelled to list 8 "white" rock bands...........and then always include Public Enemy or De La Soul or Aretha Franklin or Wu-Tang?

― BO, Wednesday, 29 June 2005 00:25 (twenty years ago)

Pop-centric? Post-crunk? Pro-Coldplay?
Presley Costello? Prince Charles?

What you call PC, young man, I simply call BLOODY GOOD MANNERS. [/Stanshall]

Dear Michael Costello,

The joke is wearing thin. Just saying...

Dada is wrong. There should be more lionisation. Siegfried and Roy were only the beginning.

― NickB (NickB), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 08:25 (twenty years ago)

Which one of them was attacked by an ion?

Fwiw the ion in question did bear more than a passing similarity to a lion in Zion.

TS: ionic vs covalent bonding

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 08:40 (twenty years ago)

I thought i-roy would have learnt his lesson after his musical shark attack.

― NickB (NickB), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 08:42 (twenty years ago)

following which he attempted a new career as roy north, host of much-remembered '70s granada tv kids' pop prog get it together.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 08:43 (twenty years ago)

Siegfried and I-Roy - what a stage show that would have been!

― Dadaismus (Dada), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 08:44 (twenty years ago)

Where he was ritually humiliated on a weekly basis as small children were invited up on stage and allowed to select from a variety of different weapons and implements with which they would play a game called "Hit The North".

X-post

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 08:46 (twenty years ago)

ah, but the abuse and humiliation mr north suffered from the show's regular troupe of female dancers on a weekly basis predates "johnny vegas: 18 stone of idiot" by fully 30 years. i'm pretty sure they did the bottle-smashing routine during his rendition of "all along the watchtower."

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 08:52 (twenty years ago)

He was used to taking abuse tho, having been Basil Brush's stooge, in between Mr. Derek and Mr. errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, Billy?

― Dadaismus (Dada), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 08:56 (twenty years ago)

You forgot Mr Howard.

That'll teach him to have shown more enthusiasm when doing "Shot By Both Sides" on TOTP.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 08:57 (twenty years ago)

"Siegfried and I-Roy - what a stage show that would have been!"

Aaaah yes, I can imagine them now, toasting and trading lines in a call-and-reponse stylee over a heavy dub backing track:

"I see them in foul dug-outs, gnawed by rats"
"And in the ruined trenches, lashed with rain"
"Dreaming of things they did with balls and bats"
"And mocked by hopeless longing to regain"

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 09:04 (twenty years ago)

BOOM BOOM!

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 09:07 (twenty years ago)

No, that was Sizzla.

― NickB (NickB), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 09:11 (twenty years ago)

I thought it was Jake Lee Hooker, ex-lead singer of former Granada TV pop stars The Arrows.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 09:15 (twenty years ago)

Isn't "Sizzla" Siegfried Sassoon's stage name?

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 09:16 (twenty years ago)

The Strokes of their day (xpost)

― Dadaismus (Dada), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 09:17 (twenty years ago)

No it was the stage name of Hope out of Hope and Keen.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 09:17 (twenty years ago)

I thought that was Bob Hope?

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 09:19 (twenty years ago)

... and Speedy Keen

― Dadaismus (Dada), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 09:19 (twenty years ago)

Not I-Roy Keen?

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 09:25 (twenty years ago)

I certainly enjoyed taking a televisual ride with the mirthsome twosome in their "Crazy Bus"!

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 29 June 2005 09:26 (twenty years ago)

"I certainly enjoyed taking a televisual ride with the mirthsome twosome in their "Crazy Bus"!"

Aaah yes. Personally 'though, I was more a fan of their arch-rivals "The Double Deckers" (featuring Brinsley Forde of Aswad on guitar and vocals).
