Please Squeeze Me

Boba’s got a squeeze box and Vader can’t sleep at night!

@ManchuCandidate: Pete never understood how – or why – that became their longest #1 hit in the colonies.

Wait. In all those notes is there a tune? Or is this some Franch performance-art piece? I hate those bastards in the subway. The only one who made sense was the guy who drew in his hair with black shoe polish and pretended he was playing the drums by pounding on whatever surface was handy.

@Right Reverend Benedick: What’s that annual festival in Paris, in June? When they play music on every street corner, under every bridge abutment, and in every cafe? That’s when a guy wearing a mask and playing accordion makes perfect sense.

Oh, and that was the first night of my honeymoon. Total coincidence, and couldn’t have been more delightful.

@Nabisco: I’ve only ever one day there in my life. Malheureusement.

we are officially announced

While the original Saints Row felt familiar to fans of the open-world crime genre, its sequel separated itself from the pack with almost cartoonish over-the-top action. Whether you were chainsawing elderly people in half or spraying a pool party down with a poop truck, the franchise was clearly heading in its own direction. Saints Row: The Third takes things a step forward as the most insane installment yet, and it’s our April cover.

Ahhhh, the trailer trash of gaming.

IMO that is the highest praise

@Capt Howdy: That’s funny. Makes me want to buy it.

tj/Metallica’s “Master of Puppets”, a masterpiece of thrash/speed fucking metal, turns 25 today.

Here’s “Sanitarium” for your moshing and headbanging pleasure.

Build my fear of what’s out there
Cannot breathe the open air
Whisper things into my brain
Assuring me that I’m insane
They think our heads are in their hands
But violent use brings violent plans
Keep him tied, it makes him well
He’s getting better, can’t you tell?

@redmanlaw: Jesus H. Christ, lookit those Marshall stacks. Do these guys have any hearing left?

@Dodgerblue: Huh? Eh?

@redmanlaw: Just once — I’d like to play through a rig like that.

@Dodgerblue: Do they set off the seismometer in SFL’s basement?

@nojo: That’s the point.

@redmanlaw: Ooh, archtop.com has a PRS Hollowbody II, 10 top, on sale. Spousal negotiations have commenced.

Once again, we’ve chased off the girls.

How ’bout them spring bulbs?

@redmanlaw: Do I wear my belt too high?

@redmanlaw: I’ve had trouble with rinunc’s rotting out the last few years. The irises have been strong, though. I throw in a lot of California golden poppy seeds too — those things are tough.

@nojo: I think after that comment some will want to see it around your neck.

@nojo: I dunno, I’m still fixated on the fact that you wear Birkenstocks.

With socks, right?

@Tommmcatt is with Karin Marie on This One: Yes. Socks. Thick socks. When it’s cold. Because that’s what Oregonians do. Even when they live a thousand miles south.

Really? I have the /TJ/ this?

How is it that we’re not even discussing the “fucksaw” controversy here yet?? It’s like I don’t even know you people anymore…

@flippin eck: I was gonna get to that. I’m still waking up.

@flippin eck: Well, this should take care of it, no: “none of the material is included on exams.”

@nojo: No excuse. The name of the device alone merits a Drudge-style blue siren on Stinque.

@flippin eck: I think we have discussed a similar device here before. Apparently one of the design flaws has to to with the blade underneath the attachment cutting or working through the material, which could lead to grievous injury.
