this explanation of all rush lyrics is NOT CRAP.

This is a delight. Excellent!

I love this thread. I read it awhile back but didn't post.....it was and is hilarious. Steve really went to town on Neil Peart's lyrics. Straw men, the lot of them.

That much might apply to you, Sir. Though I would substitute "geek" with "snob".

Remember now, I'm trying to get a piece of The Man, yous all here.

See, this is what I don't understand about you, Matt. From my profile:

"Interests: hydrothermal vent systems, fishing, obscure historical facts, the vast world of boxed wines, shiny objects, lamenting, food snobbery, music snobbery"

I am a self-declared snob-of-many-interests. I freely admit to this along with the fact that I am an egotistical asshole and that I must win every battle at all costs. I love the ladies and the men. I am pro-abortion, not just pro-choice. Philosophy annoys me and I caught a Catholic priest from the church across the street checking out my rack yesterday morning. I smiled, especially when he asked my name and realized that he graduated from high school with my mother.

Yet, despite all of these severe obstructions in the field of our common interests and potential camaraderie, you have messaged me at least 4 or 5 times. Hell, you messaged me 5-10 minutes after I expressed that I had no desire in speaking with you via IM.

Matt: why do you continually seek out punishment from those you claim offensive? Are you shooting for martyrdom? Do you enjoy the feeling of abuse? What is it that you gain from getting your ass so severely trounced by this forum?

Thanks for the heart-on-your-sleeve.

The fact of the matter is that I have not been trounced by anyone within this forum when it comes to those "issues that divide us". I'm not seeking to trounce either (though sometimes I suppose one has to), but rather to converse, glean information and have fun doing it. I've nothing to hide. My name is Matthew Wauck. Goodnight.

Who else will back up their bullshit with their name here?

Your rebuttal is "give me your surname so that I can cyberstalk you?"

Nice.

I'm not stalking anyone on the internet. Are you? Stalkers hide.....I don't hide and am pretty damned upfront when I communicate via the WWW.


Funny how these threads get tangled......

Have you ever considered just stopping?

Seriously. You could just stop.

Just a thought.

this explanation of all rush lyrics is NOT CRAP.

This is almost as entertaining as the book "An Analysis Of The Southern Rock Band Black Oak Arkansas"

Thank you, Hench, for brightening my day.

I will vacation in this thread. I enjoyed the simplification of bad writing. And the call to arms as it were to keep it simple. I'll only remember the advice, not authors.
