To Nick and Danny: WORD I don't like modern country. It's pop and pop can suck my dick. Or, the correct term would be country hits. The stuff that KSCS plays on the radio. Modern bluegrass however makes me feel warm and fuzzy. I love Tony Trishka, Emmylou Harris, Allison Krauss, and Old Crow Medicine Show. Johnny Rebel is indeed fun and I get a giggle out of Ray Wylie Hubbard. Admittedly, the last three aren't bluegrass. Old Crow Medicine Show fits more comfortably into the blue grass niche but Ray Wylie Hubbard strikes me more as you say, Nick, honkey tonk. I think the term ballads can be applied to what you have referred to as the more traditional, Custer. Those like George Strait, Alan Jackson, some Garth Brooks, etc are things you're just as likely to hear in a small bar that keeps Schlitz on tap as you are to hear Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline, and Merle Haggard. My opinion? Country pre-95 was good. After that, only bluegrass is worth anything.

It would mean nothing becuase it's the internet, Joel and because every single individual here on Hondo's thinks he's right and every other mother fucker is wrong. Most of us are just polite enough not to say it out loud. This would just be another symbol with about as much meaning as a "Tipping in not a city in China' sign.

You know, the American Consitution is vague enough that there are many different interpretations. I doubt the founding fathers had that in mind, however, we could certainly do the same intentionally. Besides, be honest folks, how many of you are actually going to take this seriously? It's the internet for god's sake. I think what Arch is suggesting sounds interesting and above all, fun. I think we should at the very least, consider the idea. And recall, a constritution isn't a law. It's simply what laws are based on, should there ever come a time to form laws.

$*@&-ING Rose McGowan is not Red Sonja. <grumble>

L0BO and yes, she's very attractive.

Vote Vote Vote Vote Vote Vote Or, naked chick mud wrestling. For which I nominate Def and Cindy. I will video tape the event for posterity.

You know, several of us have repeatedly called on Nick to make a call. He still hasn't. Would I be remiss in saying that he most likely will not and that this is up to us to hash out? I still say it should be put to a vote.

Sig, would you put up a poster of a Hustler centerfold on your living room wall? We know you can. Its your house. But would you. Prolly not. Because, it's a common area. I don't think you want your mother to see that. You could, I suppose, put up a screen that funnels people to the kitchen, but why? That's more hassle than it's worth. Kind of the same concept here. The shoutbox is like the living room. Just cause you can do something doesn't mean you should.

So, perhaps we can just agree to keep nudy pics and dildos and stuff like that out of the shoutbox since it is a common area. I mean...you can't partition it like you can a forum, or a thread. What's there is there. Personally, I don't mind schtuff like that, but there may be a few folks on Hondo's that do, I'm not sure. Wouldn't it be nice if we could make the Shoutbox friendly for everyone? I really think this shoutbox issue should be put to a vote.

You know...I always thought the only rule for Hondo's was the whole label NSFW, NSFW. And that, more a courtesy for anything. I have to ask, though, what makes the Shoutbox NSFW? I haven't seen any photos in it? It's it the language? Cause, I have to say...I don't think unless someone is really reading hard over your shoulder, that they're gonna notice a couple of fucks and damns. So, perhaps we just want to keep NSFW photos out of the Shoutbox? I personally do not have a problem with that. And I think a lot of ya'll are being assholes. And fuck you if you want to rip me a new one because of it. Asking for a little common courtesy isn't such a bad thing. No one's throwing a fit or asking for censorship. It's not any different than maybe asking a buddy not to cuss around your kid, even if you may be over at said buddy's house. Refusing politely and stating 'my house, my rules' if fine. Each other know where they stand and can make decisions accordingly. Such is the case with the Shoutbox. Getting upset about it, any of ya'll, is ridiculous. So the drama.

Oh man, I can just imagine. Ugh.

BWAHAHAHAHA! In high school, playing D & D: My party is pretty screwed up and we're licking our wounds. A couple of of the players take a minute to grab a drink or head to the bathroom. Our thief notices that one of the other party members, a fighter, is lying face down. Well, he strips the guy of his valuables and then proceeds to push him over a cliff. The fighter's player comes back into the den and almost falls over as the DM announces his death. "I was under a sleep spell, you fucker!" Ooops.

<blink> What's wrong with fantasy lyrics? Sure, elves and fairies are silly and maybe a little dull but there are other types of lyrics that aren't half bad and aren't exactly straight forward. Let's quote some Metallica cause who won't recognize them. Off the bat, two songs come to mind that have a good resonating message but rather 'high brow' lyrics: Hero of the Day and Until It Sleeps. Personally, I'd rather metaphors and fantasy than nonsense mish mash. And metal, like every other genre, has it's share of bands with crap lyrics. How about alternative? I can name ten bands off the top of my head with ridiculous pointless lyrics that sound as if they were randomly flipping through the dictionary. Pop and Hip Hop don't seem to suffer from this ailment, but I think that's due more to the fact that these are genres meant for mass consumption. Point being, metal is no better or worse than any other rock genre. You have good music with intelligent lyrics that is often under the radar and watered down crud with good music but horrid lyrics that is often played endlessly on the radio. That's the way these things work. Don't knock a whole genre because of it. Not to mention, I agree with ASC to an extent. Personally, I prefer music and lyrics to be equally as good. However, there is no denying that music moves no matter what's being sung and sometimes you can't help but love a song in spite of this.

Q. What's the leper say to the hooker? A. Keep the tip! rimshot

Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day I rather liked it, actually

To each his own, of course.

That actually sounds good. Something about a savory, salty spread appeals to me. God, that sounds...pornish. Keeping on topic: I like to put mixed fruit out of the can on a roll and make a fruit sandwhich and when I was a kid I used to ball up my bread or cheese and eat them like that.

Why does Mr. Hipple want to ask me or advice on how to woo my best friend? Does he not understand that that is the epitome of tacky? Boys suck.

<blink> Is it? I can't tell. I'm at work. I can't enlarge these things. It was a blonde. Oops. Maybe I need glasses. Jessica Simpson doesn't turn my crank either. Dita Von Teese, however, makes me want to purr And at the opposite end, Scarlett Johansson

Eh, Britney's face always made my skin crawl. There's something juvenile about it and not in a good way.

Um, so, wait...you eat mango chutney with tobasco? That can't be any worse than some salsas they use in the swankier restaurants. But to continue with sandwhiches, peanut butter and honey are super good together.

I coulda swore I posted in here about wanting to try Vegemite... Did it disappear? Or, Skeet...Arnah, should I stick to Marmite because of my delicate Yank tastebuds?

Lemon juice on apples and salt on watermelon. Also, I put tobasco on almost everything, especially eggs.

French fries and milkshakes are the best. I also dip bread in my tea like Ross does. Or when I was a kid, I used to dip my suckers into a glass of water.

When I eat zingers and hostess cupcakes, I like to peel the frosting off and eat that first. Then I like to lick the cream out of the middle and finally eat the cake. With nutter butters, I pull thel ayers of wafers apart and lick the peanut butter off before finally eating the rest.
