Looks like I better get back to the treadmill and situps. I wouldn't want to be totally shown up by Doc Toxyn. What are we doing anyway?

I'll leave it to SOS to choose the event, I'm just going to help oil up your bodies to make those muscles glisten. :approve:

How did the mud wrestling start? Well, anyway, this should be a group activity. We are already off to a good start. Shirts-off, oil, yes, good, good... Maybe a Napoleon Dynamite Dance Contest? I think more suggestions would be good...

I suspect that she was thinking more along the lines of 'Pile on Moonbear'.

I'm open to almost any form of humiliation. Except dancing. For some reason that just scares the bejeebies out of me. I'll sing karaoke, eat anything that won't poison me, and generally act as much a fool as you would like, but I really don't like to dance.

Okay, okay, no dancing. I can't hang onto you if you keep squirming now that I've got this oil all over the place!

Edit: Oh, wait, I distinctly recall you mentioning elbow dancing. I still want to see that! :biggrin:
 
  • #4,756
Elbow dancing is okay. I've always dreamed about being Spiderman. Anything where I can move around without using my feet is good. (Maybe I shouldn't have said that.) Dancing with feet is bad.

Oh, no problem, you don't need to use your feet with me. How about on your knees? :devil:

I might try a polka or a hoe down on my knees. That's more about my speed, less about dancing and more about making a fool out of myself. :biggrin:

edit: Hmmm... :devil: maybe you had something more specific in mind.

I think it was me who was slipping :blushing:

Yeah, anything on my knees would be fine. Only for about an hour or two though, then I get cramps and muscle aches. :-p

*considers carefully* Hmm...I'm trying to figure out if men pole dancing would be a turn-on or a turn-off. :confused:

Hmm...treadmill might be dangerous with oil, but situps sounds good. And pushups. I think we better get them over to the cancer clinic for their pre-contest check-ups! :-p

It's actually quite fun. I usually like to sing christmas carols while I'm dancing on my knees. Good vocalization builds up the linguistic skills.
SOS2008 said:

I guess that's fine too. I'm pretty particular about who uses my dancing pole though. Doc Toxyn will have to bring his own.

You can sing anything you want if it builds up your linguistic skills! :biggrin:

im thinking of starting a trance group/due/trio/whatever and calling it Agnostic Inquisition

how does that name sound? too dorky?

You ask a board full of dorks if the name is too dorky? :smile: I like the name (very clever), but I don't know if I'm representative of your target audience. Ooh, but then you could have "AI" on your drum sets (and whatever else you need a "logo" on. :biggrin:
 
  • #4,769
Sounds controvertial. That will be popular if your group is good and can find an audience. You're likely going to alienate many religious people with that name.

Personally, I don't like it very much. I would go with something more like
Skin Puppets.
 
  • #4,770
the hair on my back just rose when i heard 'skin puppets'

somehow first thing that came to my mind was 'skin puppies'.. then something about skinless puppies.. something about skin/flesh devouring bacteria.. uhh.. anyway

target audience is very small.. i mean not a whole lot of people really like trance music that much.. and we are not talking about some monotonous stuff - more of a progressive, upliftin vocal trance with hard beat and a psy/break here and there

most people who listen to trance are agnostic anyway

and yes Moonbee.. I liked the idea that i'd have "AI" used someplace..

..maybe even come up with a way to stick an 'IQ' there.. (or call my partner Intelligent Quitter ? .. or something

Somehow I don't think there are too many deeply religious people following trance music. I could be wrong, but it just doesn't strike me as compatible. On the other hand, it could be a tough name for people to say/pronounce readily. You want something that people don't trip over when saying aloud. I don't think a lot of people will get the controversial undertones though.

Personally, I don't like it very much. I would go with something more like
Skin Puppets.
Is that what you're calling it now? I thought we were happy calling it a turtle. :rolleyes:

If the name fits your audience then go for it.
Skin Puppets = Skinny Puppies + Meat Puppets + 1 demented imagination

Cronxeh, those things are cute enough, but they hurt my eyes.

Danger! How could you think that I don't have an evil plan? Why I ooze evilness.

Hope I didn't upset you by using the grumpy smilie, but geez. Can't I be evil around here?

They are cute little buggers though.

Slurp spiders a dying breed?

Lately, yahoo! slurp spiders seem to have left PF; instead mediapartners-google spiders have taken over.
Why is that? :confused:

Maybe they're full and gave some other spiders a turn. We did have a few crackpots running around to feed to the spiders. :-p

Actually, it's not hailing here. It's a beautiful spring day.

There are 2 things I do not like about the city. 1. There is background noise at every hour of the day (where my home is, it is virtually noiseless at night and in the morning; the blood pulsing in your ears is the loudest thing you can hear). 2. The air is not pure. This makes a tangible difference when bicycling.

On the other hand, I do kind of like the long, long 15 degree grade hill. Cycling down the various roads of this is quite an experience. The ground at the bottom of the hill appears to be directly in front of you. It's almost free-fall.
 
  • #4,791
And when I say 15 degrees, that's because I am comparing the line of the sidewalk with the presumably level lines of the house foundations. Looking down the hill it appears to be more like 45 degrees.

Huck...I just got back from having sushi dinner. Yummy! :approve: Went out with some friends to a place I hadn't discovered before, and the sushi was excellent! I take back what I've said about not finding good sushi in this city! :biggrin: Some tempura and miso soup as appetizers, sushi for dinner, and ice cream for dessert (there's an ice cream shop around the corner). Just thought I'd rub it in! :smile:

Where is the jealous face when you need it? :cry:

Sushi sounds delicious. I just had beef stew and French bread. :cry:
The miso soup sounds pretty good but I'm not sure about the tempura. With shrimp?
I had some icecream yesterday. My favorite is a tie between Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, or Reese's Pieces. :-p

I love sushi, but the worst sushi I've ever eaten was in Japan. This was the real thing, prepared by a master chef at the Hotel Okura, a 4 star hotel in Tokyo. I guess I am used to americanized sushi. :frown:

The worst Thai food I ever had was in Thailand. The real stuff just doesn't taste like american Thai food. :rolleyes:

Yep, my friend came to my office and asked where we should go tonight (we already had plans to go out, but hadn't picked a restaurant). Since that picture of a giant sushi platter the other night, I've been seriously craving sushi. I didn't know there was a place closer than by the airport, so mentioned sushi but expected her to nix the idea as too far. As soon as I mentioned it, she said she was craving sushi too, and there's a place much closer! :-p :biggrin:
The miso soup sounds pretty good but I'm not sure about the tempura. With shrimp?
It was an appetizer portion, so some assorted vegetables and two shrimp. I thought it might get messy since there were three of us splitting it. Then one of my friends said she didn't care that much for shrimp. :biggrin: She didn't have to offer twice!

I had some icecream yesterday. My favorite is a tie between Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, or Reese's Pieces. :-p

Heh heh heh...neither of those compares to the ice cream shop we have here! (I'm so spoiled now, I'm going to have a hard time moving away from the good ice cream.) My favorite is raspberry chip, but I passed on that tonight for a turtle sundae with chocolate ice cream (caramel and pecan toppings). Must've been craving turtles too. :devil: :biggrin: Delicious!

:smile: I don't know how Americanized the sushi and Thai food I eat is. I do know that most ethnic cuisines I've had are pretty strikingly different in flavor from the East coast to the midwest. It's all very bland in the midwest and much more flavorful when I order it back east. So, I don't know if it's a gradient from more authentic to more Americanized or just different forms of Americanized foods.

Funny that you should mention this. The worst pizza I ever had was in Italy. You can't hold it in your hand like slices. They have few toppings. Sauce is way better there though, but it just doesn't have the satisfaction of some Chicago deepdish. :-p

Yep, there's a difference. Sushi and other ethnic/foreign foods are more likely to taste authentic the closer you get to either coast.

I remember years ago moving from Houston, TX to Washington DC and could NOT find a single Mexican restaurant, the ONLY Mexican food in the grocery store was a Banquet frozen Mexican tv dinner. My parents would send me monthly "care" packages of food so I wouldn't die.
