Watto's Junk Yard / Re: Hard Rock - Bands You Recommend
« on: October 19, 2005, 11:23 PM »
Thanks fellas. 
I just downloaded an album from each of those two bands, and hope to listen to them tomorrow. I'm in a "must have new music" mode myself, so I'm trying to pick up as much new stuff as I can.
I had my MP3 library stuck onto some data CDs for listening in my car, since I have a CD player that will read them. I could stick 120-ish songs on each CD, so I could stick in a CD, put it on random, and not take it out for a week. Well, my daughter conveniently spilled a bottle of chocolate milk all over the lot. I was going to make some more, but thought I'd add some songs first. Right now I'm sitting at 2746 songs (plus whatever I take off of the CDs I've just bought and downloaded), and don't plan on making the new compilation CDs until I hit 3000 tunes. Won't be long at the rate I'm going.

I am 99% sure we can't change it now that we've drafted. Considering I based my picks on Made instead of % (which is the way Jeff said it would be set up), I'd say we stick with Made (which is probably a moot point anyway).

OK, here’s some heavy, rock-oriented stuff I like:
A Perfect Circle
Alice in Chains
Anthrax
Audioslave (some of the first disc anyway)
Danzig
Dillinger Escape Plan
Disturbed
Dog Fashion Disco
Down
Earshot (first disc only)
Failure
Faith No More
Fantomas
Foxy Shazam!
Godsmack
Helmet
Hum
Iron Maiden
Megadeth
Metallica
Ministry
Molly McGuire
Mr. Bungle
Mudvayne
Orange 9mm
Pantera
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum
Soundgarden
System of a Down
Tomahawk
Tool
Tub Ring (particularly “Drake Equation”)
Year of the Rabbit
This is just a start – just a few off the top of my head. I listen to a lot of stuff that’s heavy-ish that I might add later. Depending on how bizarre you like your music, take caution with Dillinger, Sleepytime, and Foxy Shazam.

I guess it depends on your definition "hard rock". I listen to a lot of stuff that is pretty heavy and abrasive, but wouldn't necessarily be considered hard rock.
What kind of stuff are you listening to now?

Unreal!! When Lidge came in and threw his first pitch - a 97mph heater that looked like 180mph - I didn't think the Cards would even make contact, let alone anyone would hit a ball 450 feet. Freakin' fantastic!!!
So it's back to St. Louis. Let's hope they can give Busch Stadium one last hurrah. (Then get beaten by the Sox in the WS).

Despite the fact that I'm not much of an Ozzie Guillen fan (though I will say he's growing on me ), I have to say that I'm stoked to see the Sox make the world series! I still hope the Cards can pull it off against the Astros, but either way I think we're going to see some of the best-pitched World Series games in years.
Two side notes though:
1) The officiating has sucked throughout the playoffs. I don't know if the umps are just worn out, but there have been a *lot* of bad calls and premature calls that have caused some tension between coaches players and fans, both in the ALCS and NLCS. I hope the WS isn't riddled with that stigma.
2) While Konerko had a good series against LA, I was a bit surprised to see Crede not win the ALCS MVP. Konerko had the notable home runs, but Crede hit two himself and seemed to *always* deliver the right hit at the right time. I think he got hosed.

Man, I sure am glad the White Sox won the other day. The Yanks will have a much easier time against them in the ALCS.
Oh...wait a minute.....

Yes, this is a great idea for a thread. Especially considering the Hasbro rep thread is already enough of a dead horse as it is.

« on: October 3, 2005, 09:02 PM »What does he mean by "Factory Error?"I hope that was some sort of "bait" move because I don't care about errors (I'd rather not have them).
I have a feeling you might not be too happy with this one then.
He says pretty clearly that the "factory error" is that the Trooper's thumb is broken, and it's caught in the tape holding the gun in place. John

As a parent, I know how difficult it is to coordinate children's birthday parties.
(I should know, I watched my wife do it)
Yes, and I know *exactly* how painful childbirth is, seeing that I watched my wife do it twice.
I'd say the common sense fairy skipped this guy over.

« on: October 1, 2005, 09:15 PM »Yankees win the East because they won the head-to-head regular season series against the Sox. They lead 10-8 right now, so even if they lose tomorrow they still lead 10-9.
Ah, OK. I thought there was a playoff for a tie for the division title, but I guess I was wrong. Thanks for the info.
****. I can't stand the Yankees.
