C'mon. 100% of all ska isn't stupid. The Specials! The Skatalites!

If you're going to propose a number less than 99% i have nothing more to say to you.

I really don't know where that number should be, but I ... I really don't know where that number should be.

Skanking is a terrible word.

"Ska Skank Redemption." That's so bad it's awesome.

I can't believe that the following are not Christian ska band names:

Give Us Skarrabbus
Skantius Pilate
King Skerod
Skarden of Gethsemane
Skazarus
Skank on Water
John the Skaptist
Immaculate Skanception
The First Ska Letter of Ska Paul to the Skassalonians

Seriously, metal is holding its own pretty good here. I expected we were going to have to honor the slaughter rule.

IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU! This is the point I'm trying to get across. Loosen your self-consciousness a moment and realize that they are spontaneously venting an emotion, not making a statement to you or anyone else.

Shedding inhibitions (even to this relatively small degree) and expressing a simple, unmitigated delight is a great experience. It's just a shame most people lose the capacity do it once they're older than 10.

I totally skipped over this post. WTF.

If Turbonegro ever book a tour in a concert hall where we are all instructed to remain seated and reserved and clap politely after each song, i think i will kill myself.
