maybe i'm searching wrong. the link was the "view all my posts" one and so i went to the last page and picked the first one. the one you cited, which is clearly me, did show up in that search. strange.
now i'm wondering if there's more....

Damn!
I was just about to start a thread with this topic, but at the last moment decided to do "search" for fear of being "Kerbled"....
Whew! That was close...here you go:

Hey, this is my first post but I have been reading this for a couple of years.
Anyway, I wanted to know if anybody here lives in Edinburgh. I just moved there and needed to ask some questions, preferably Americans who live here.
thanks
It sucks too, because I never got a response and now I see that there are like 10 guys on here who live in Edinburgh......oh, I was having a rough go of it there.....thanks people!

Which is 1/6th.
After that, its all down hill.
hey Tom, your first post was a reponse to my first post. EA intern alums 4 eva!
MTAR wrote:1/6 full is for pansies. Way back in my interning days.... I would take the trash out every seven minutes. No matter if it was full or empty. Seven minutes is exactly enough time to throw out every bag from B, through the kitchen, down through A. By the time you're back up in B again, you have time to catch a smoke, and start your cycle over again. You can definately learn a lot as an intern by utilizing and mastering this method of trash removal.

I have no idea what my first post said, but probably something really stupid.

I can't help but think both JCS (Jesus Christ Superstar) and The Passion of the Christ should in some way be combined.
More blood and torture in JCS
More dancing and singing in the Passion of the Christ. (I mean how can you have passion without dancin?)

Two?! On one list? And youre from CHICAGO, instant zen. Wow. Ok, everyone who hasnt yet heard Naked Raygun, go get
Throb, Throb immediately. You will not be disappointed.
Until then, if anyone asks you about Naked Raygun you can get by by just rolling your eyes, smiling, and going "woah-oooooh." If anyone asks what you think, just say you love "Rat Patrol." But clearly you dont want to stretch that too far.

Die Kreuzen were the first band that I ever mixed. Well, no, I guess the bands that opened for them were the first, but it was a Die Kreuzen *show,* so, y'know. They were amazing. I dunno if I'm a *respectable ADULT,* yet though.
Oh yeah, bands I know next to nothing about and am willing to admit it? Lessee. American Music Club. I mean, I have the records, but ...
And yeah, Red House Painters. And a ton of Brit Pop.

I saw Yes in 1976-
Steve Howe did great seagulls from hell stuff on the pedal-steel. Alan White had a whole set of North Drums behind his regular kit, and Chris Squire did the Yessongs/Fish solo w/ the Moog Taurus Bass pedals and everyone thought the arena was going to cave in.
Not Crap.
Still Not Crap.

Yeah, pretty stupid.....

The first thing I ever read on Electrical Audio was
this. I really enjoyed it.
But this is the first thing I posted.

Ring Lardner's "You Know Me Al" is highly recommended for seamheads. It was serialized in the Sat. Evening Post in 1914 and first published in bk form in 1916.
It's a fictionalized series of letters from a hillbilly "busher" pitching prospect who ends up making the Show to his buddy Al back in Terre Haute. Through the letters, the busher is shown to be a lazy, clueless, arrogant putz who is constantly being razzed/mocked to hilarious effect by coaches, teammates, girlfriends, etc. without him even realizing it.
Most interesting from a historical perspective, Lardner puts real-life players like Ty Cobb, Walter Johnson, etc. in the bk as characters (Cobb touches the kid up for a couple of hits and talks smack). For much of the bk the busher is a member of the White Sox, and he's called up to Comiskey's office a couple of times, he competes in the "city serious" against the Cubs, etc.
Hugely entertaining.
