I like being submissive.

The tricky part is when I forget the safety word.

I try to make it simple.

Usually it's "OH MY F- YOU CUT IT OFF YOU PSYCHO!"

Okay, so it's more of a safety phrase really...

Ok maybe they won't kill you but the sins of man kind will take away your freedom.what you can do what you can say and so on :( its not good

Dylan's first Christian album was awesome.

His second was less so.

His third was a mixture of Christian and secular, and it was pretty good.

Then he was pretty much done. :)

The first one had a great tune that demonstrates the old adage that all great Christian pop songs work as either songs dedicated to Jesus or as romantic songs, "I Believe In You," which is about a woman chastigated for her belief in Jesus, but the songs works as a romance song just as well.

-Brian

I love "I Believe In You" as written, but it's been redone lyric-wise as well.

Not real big on Dylan's second or third Christian oriented albums though.

Joker Avatar? Check

Bad grammar and punctuation? Check

Misspelled 'their'? Check, but not in the usual way.

Hmmm. He did use 'sophistry', though I'm not sure he used it right. You braniacs will have to figure out that one.

I think it's him. It's more readable than usual, but he did have three hours to put it together.

Johnny's in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement
Thinking about the government
The man in the trench coat
Badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off
Look out kid
It's somethin' you did
God knows when
But you're doin' it again
You better duck down the alley way
Lookin' for a new friend
The man in the coon-skin cap
In the big pen
Wants eleven dollar bills
You only got ten

Classic!

The safe word can be a phrase, but this one would not be appropriate. Ideally you need to pick something that won't come up in the normal course of the session either as regular conversation or as part of the role play. If you're using a gag, you need to arrange a signal ahead of time.

and

c. stupid enough to pick the same avatar.

I expected more even from curefreak, but this? Wow, hats off, man.

Hi everyone.

Typo Lad, you might be interested to know that there are many black, Jewish, inmates in the prison that I work in. There are a few white and hispanic ones as well. It might have more to do with the diet than anything else, but who knows? One of the black guys was wearing a nice, gold, Star of David. Things that make you go, "hmmm".

Yeah, "Wagon Wheel" is an awesomely catchy tune.

-Brian

jessecuster3

11-14-2006, 09:35 AM

Its getting pretty interesting actually:

"Wagon Wheel," the catchiest tune on O.C.M.S. is also intriguing for other reasons. Credited in the liner notes as being written by Bob Dylan with "additional lyrics and melody," "Wagon Wheel" started with two stanzas of chorus from "Rock Me Mama," an unreleased Bob Dylan song. Ketch Secor then added what are at least partially autobiographical verses ("Running from the cold up in New England / I was born to be a fiddler in an old-time string band / my baby plays the guitar / I pick the banjo now"). The consensus appears to be the song was recorded by Dylan for the Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid soundtrack without making the final cut. One internet site (http://www.searchingforagem.com/BobUnrelR.htm ) says the song wasn't written by Dylan. Instead claiming it was written and recorded by bluesman Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup (who wrote Elvis Presley's hit "It's Alright Mama"). Listening to a sample of Crudup's song at Amazon.com doesn't support this contention. But even in the big wide world of the internet with its overabundance of information about everything (especially Dylan) information about the song is sketchy. The few sites that have lyrics for Dylan's original (http://dylanlyrics.50g.com/sg-RockMeMama.htm ) have a disclaimer. After all, transcribing lyrics from a Dylan bootleg is a difficult proposition. Although OCMS's "Wagon Wheel" is the most contemporary of the non-originals on O.C.M.S. it illustrates a longstanding tradition in folk and gospel music of taking part of a song and adding your own lyrics, transforming it into something completely different. (The more academically oriented can read all about this process in Steve Turner's excellent book Amazing Grace * The Story of America's Most Beloved Song ).

Brian Cronin

11-14-2006, 09:38 AM

Wow, that's really interesting.

I only knew Dylan had an unreleased song called "Rock Me, Mama."

Say it to here while you are naked.

That should sufficiently distract her.

Or send her running screaming into the night, one of the two.

It's my way of expressing civil disobediance. I'm still pissed that green went to Oscar rather than Kermit.

You're a single girl in college.

You should be getting free hugs from everyone.

There are plenty of fish in the sea.

With bigger hooks, too.

I love the Library. I got some books that work was supposed to provide me with, as well as the new F.E.A.R. Expansion pack and the Spider-man on CD-ROM set.

"Dear [person],

Please accept my resume in consideration for [job]. I am a vigorous, meticulous editor with job experience impeccably suited to the position and a widespread interest in all forms of literary dissertations. I also own my own copy of Webster's New World Thesaurus, and just the right kind of sense of humor."

Whaddaya think? Too self-aware?

So there's a Zauriel comic. It's part of this dumbass fate thing, can I read it on its own?

That's what I was thinking. It's attention grabbing without being too showy or over-the-top, which was always a plus when I was looking at resumes.

It would never fly in the business world, but it's just showy enough to get good attention.

I say go with it, Mike.

Possibly; these are a series of stand-alone one-shots loosely connected by the fact that the title character runs across Fate's helmet, as I understand the project.

I'm gonna pick it up, because I think Zauriel is one of the great untapped superhero concepts of the last ten years.

You know, if I was one of the kids whose parents named them Espn, I'd get my degree in journalism and apply for work in Bristol. If that wouldn't grab HR's attention.

I wouldn't go that far, but I do like Zauriel and Steve Gerber does turn me homosexual, so it's worth a try.

OK. It was very lame.

Not that there's anything unprofessional about that.

I saw somewhere people discussing whether Reggie Hudlin arguing under a pseudonym was "unprofessional."

That seems so silly.

How the heck does stupid arguments on forums have to do with his professionalism?

As a PERSON, you can say it is lame of him, but I don't see the professional connection.

-Brian

Well, no, I think it might be (was it here? was it elsewhere)?

Mike S. Miller, formerly of Alias comics, posted both under his own name and pseudonymously at Newsarama. The other, fake persona pretty much only posted to defend Miller's work and Miller's views on homosexuality and religion--the unprofessionalism comes in when the real identity gets to say "Look! Someone agrees with me!", treating their fake name as a separate entity--not unlike the fictitious movie reviewer that was saying Sony(?) movies were the best ones ever.

Home sick today. Trying to write this stupid goddam 1st grade play. See, I got approached by ourlameass music teacher. He's doing a winter show and wants me to write skits for my two first grade glasses to go in between his songs.

His songs are retarded. He's not having the kids sing, even, they're hitting fucking "boomwhackers" against the ground . . .AND NOT EVEN IN THE MELODIC SEQUENCE! He dumbed down the dumbest thing he could do! The principal and I were kvetching about it, but he's dead set on it. Problem is, how the FUCK do I write a goddam series of sketches or a play to go along with five songs that are unrelated-other-than-they-all-involved-the-goddam-boomwhackers?

I've thought about UberCheesy, Anti-Commercialist, and, of course, the "Fuck You, Music Teacher," which would involve the kids talking about how awesome hitting sticks on the ground is.
