1. Part of me wants this to stay up.Report

   1. I’m disturbed that there’s a part of you that doesn’t agree.Report

   2. Indeed, deleting this post would not have been such a guid idea.Report

      1. That was horrible.Report

         1. Just be glad I didn’t go with the one about Jersey Shore.Report

      2. Heh.Report

2. Agreed, and I especially like this part – 3bfe001a-32de-4114-a6b4-4005b770f6d7Report

   1. Clearly you don’t see the embedded racism in 4114-a6b4. If only we could get to a post-racial society!Report

      1. You know who ELSE thought 4114-a6b4…Hitlerbot.Report

         1. Clearly, this can no longer be deleted.Report

         2. You know, in retrospect it seems clear that building Hitlerbot was a mistake; but at the time, I was just trying to automate racism. Think of how much time we could all save if we didn’t have to be racist ourselves.Report

            1. Technology frees man from the workaday to purse higher meaning.

               Let’s all go look at some cat videos on YouTube.Report

   2. Well i do agree with the reference to Federalist Paper 3bfe001a-32de-4114-a6b4-4005b770f6d7Report

      1. I checked though and the post doesn’t violate our commenting policy. We’re rewriting the policy now.Report

3. So so un-american. why do you hate the US.Report

   1. Run! It’s Conservabot!Report

   2. (scratchy Dalek voice) Exterminate!Report

4. It would be immoral to delete this post. Every post has a right to show, starting from the moment of composition.Report

   1. Or decomposition. Sic transit gloria mundi.Report

   2. Down with partial-post deletion!Report

5. Do we have a theme?

   I’d say that the plots, such as they are, are transparent where they are not opaque but… the theme?

   “Do not think you will be able to truly overcome adversity without a sense of humor” is my best shot.Report

   1. Well, if I were going to critique the plot, I’d say it’s pretty ‘by the numbers’.Report

   2. If Man was meant to overcome adversity God would have given all of us a sense of humor.Report

      1. If you’re going to tell the truth, make ’em laugh. Or they’ll kill you.Report

6. At least it was filed in the right category.Report

   1. You should add “weekend jukebox and open thread” to the title and put a music video in there.

      I haven’t read all of the comments but scanning the sidebar tells me that people are talking about Paula Abdul’s “Rush Rush”. Maybe that one.Report

      1. Or maybe it was this one:

         http://youtu.be/AFs68mKOasQ

         Or this one:

         http://youtu.be/O2JmeXitOOIReport

7. Well i like this better than Rush. So its got that going for it.Report

   1. The band, or the commentator?

      It’s less annoying than the commentator, but could represent musical notation for the band.Report

      1. Leave my favorite band alone, haters!Report

         1. Patrick – I likes me some Rush; you are not alone. They didn’t turn out to be hugely predictive of the most of the kinds of music I would eventually find most engrossing, but they were pivotal in my youth in getting me to appreciate artists doing their own thing and attempting to say something, regardless of trends or ‘coolness’.

            I don’t know if you’ve seen that doc ‘Beyond The Lighted Stage’ but it kind of prompted me to revisit them after many years; it was cool how many younger musicians (that mostly bear little of Rush’s musical DNA) gave them props just for being themselves, and the inspiration that provides artistically.

            (Cues up ‘Subdivisions’ in iTunes, starts rockin’)Report

            1. Ja, I’ve seen it.

               I have the whole discography. We all have our OCD moments.Report

               1. Yipes.

                  I used to have a lot more, but over the years they got pared down to Moving Pictures/ Power Windows / Signals/ Hold Yr Fire / Exit Stage Left (I used to have a later live one too, but not sure where it went…it had terrible 80’s cover art, I remember that…ah, Show of Hands).

                  Crazy that they are so long-lived and prolific, that at 5 albums owned, I am just a dabbler.Report

               2. So now we know who was really behind the great assault on the 49th a few months back.Report

                  1. If I was behind it, there would have been no survivors.Report

            2. Beyond The Lighted Stage was a great documentary. I’m a big Rush fan.Report

      2. Glyph- yes

         Just chuming the troll pond and Pat.Report

         1. bwwahahah…next you guys are going to be talking about your love for Nickleback and CreedReport

            1. EXTERMINATEReport

            2. …what’s wrong with loving Nickleback…?Report

               1. They’re the Agnostic Creed, dude.Report

               2. If you have to ask the question, you’ll never understand the answer.Report

                  1. Clearly none of you have seen Nickleback live.Report

                  2. I have not seen Nickelback live, however, I know a number of people who dislike them, but have seen them live and the general feeling is that they put on a great show.

                     I’m still not going to see them, though. There are lots of great shows out there.Report

                  3. A few years back I randomly won tickets to see Bon Jovi at Giants Stadium on a radio call-in contest. The week off, I was feeling particularly run down and not all that interested in going. The day before, I spoke to my friend who was going to come with me and said, “I may just bail. The tickets were free anyway. I mean, if someone like Nickleback is opening, I might reconsider.” Cue to me checking out the lineup and LO-AND-BEHOLD… IT’S NICKLEBACK!

                     We went. It was awesome. They play douchey rock anthems with catchy enough hooks. And everyone’s hatred of them makes my genuine appreciation of them feel a little guilty, which I like. As for their live performance, they came out, played their hits, played them exactly like they sound on the radio so everyone can sing along, and left. Perfect for an opening act.Report

                  4. Kazzy, you’ve already told us you know dick about music, so we can’t really say this is a surprise.Report

8. Now THAT is how you make a meatloaf!Report

   1. That’s predictable, for a guy who doesn’t put -59b70- in his meatloaf. Let me guess, you really like the 0f6d7.Report

9. Yes, but do you like it better than Rush eating meatloaf while getting a circumcision before they got their immunizations.
   I think it needs to be left up. At least this time Mr. Kowal gives us the numbers.Report

   1. I do apologize for the hexadecimal. That was needlessly confusing.Report

10. Nobody worry… I Rot13’d it:

    1. That’s it, thread’s over, Kazzy wins.Report

       1. My first win!Report

    2. Space awesome, dude.Report

11. God DAMN it. “daf2f2aa-f9c6-4eaa-b6be-89b4f48781ed – 3bfe001a-32de-4114-a6b4-4005b770f6d7” was the subject of this coming week’s Stupid Tuesday Question.Report

12. The sad thing is, I can understand this post more than most of Kimmi’s comments. (I kid because I love, Kimmi.)Report
