zedmelon's Journal: Friends II

This is an ideal time to start another friends JE. Since turg and his wife just had a baby, and he and I both can use some generously-given advice from johndiii, here it is. Johndiii is my newest friend.

Hrmph. I am irritated with myself, because I thought that SamTheButcher was already on my friends list. Oh well. He is now. I noticed mekkab's sig ("Do The Math!") and remembered that one of the first things I noticed about SamTheButcher was his sig ("Do The English!"), which I believe he attributed to paraphrasing the sig of one of his buddies. I'm too tired to research it now, but I'm betting it was mekkab. Anyway, they're both my friends now. Lots of humor and (loony) wit in StB's journal.

27 February, 11:15 pm - update: While friend-of-a-friend humor references are always good (it got me to blinder's journal--Thanks, SamTheButcher!), it's always coolio to find YAFGP (yet another fellow guitar player), especially one who really appreciates good tone and quality gear. I saw what tube questions is all about, and I was thinking, "Well, THIS guy's probably going to end up in my friends list," and after reading a couple paragraphs, it was a done deal. Blinder knows that a Rickenbacker is a SWEET instrument (as opposed to all the weenies who think they're weenie guitars). I've only played one, but that's all it took for me.

ObiWanKenblowme has the funniest nick I've seen in a long time. And the reply by Ohreally_Factor to this comment is so goofy it made me laugh.

Call_Me_Black_Cloud: way cool

Two really cool .sigs: IckySplat, "Think nothing is impossible? Try slamming a revolving door" and
Phrack, "Time flies like the wind... Fruit flies like bananas."

Ooh! Ooh! Me Too! Me Too!

Oh, and BTW, I don't think posting 3 consecutives Journal Entries makes you a hopeless dork, well not hopeless at any rate. If you scroll way back in my JE's you'll find a couple related to Slashdot numerical milestones.

[zedmelon]

Heheh... Thanks.

I tried to find said entries, but I'm running out of gas and have to work tomorrow. I'll probably do some more digging later.

However, I'm curious: Did you ever reach a decision on this [slashdot.org]?

Re:Ooh! Ooh! Me Too! Me Too!

[zedmelon]

Ugh. Two JEs down, where's nubmer 5 million? [slashdot.org].

Okay, one more and I'm REALLY going to bed... this one [slashdot.org] on "emo music," which I was told is short for "emotional." The main beef I had was with the terminology itself. Isn't all music designed to convey emotion? To me, it's pretty arrogant to determine that your "different new sound" is the groundbreaking event the world has been anticipating. That said, I really haven't heard enough of the actual music to form an opinion of its value. ;)

Re:Such nice words...thanks. :)

True. That is good. Very good.

It's sad that blinder's might be the funniest, but out of context, it sounds like a rant or maybe an outraged parent changing to a wacky sig after a night of arguing with a difficult 13-year-old. The first time I saw yours, I knew what phrase it was satiring (is that a word?).

PS: see update above ;)
