X-Crescence LV: Chimes of Freedom

[Brian Cronin]

Welcome to X-Crescence, which is from the word excrescence, which is defined as "An outgrowth or enlargement, especially an abnormal one, such as a wart."

Well, this is an outgrowth from the X-Boards proper.

This is where you pretty much can post whatever you want.

Civility rules apply here!

Enjoy.

First non-Cronin post. Yay for me!

[xgeek52]

i'm number two with a bullet!!!

i fracking don't believe it...

hey melon, what's doin'...

[Karl H]

i'm number two with a bullet!!!

i fracking don't believe it...

hey melon, what's doin'...

iIam currently rejoicing in the fact that I remain spoiler free for X-men 200, Silent War 6, X-Factor 20 and the rest of my pull list this week and that the postal strike has unaffected them!!!

What's up with you?

[xgeek52]

it's the hour of the wolf here(2:48am)...

for some reason woke up and couldn't go back to sleep...

i'll keep you spoiler free for xmen #200...i will tell you it's a good one...first one i've enjoyed in a long time...

good news. I started the First Class HC last night. I've only read the first issue but was suitably impressed!

[xgeek52]

damn...i can't get until next week...

[Karl H]

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6252290.stm

too good.

[Karl H]

damn...i can't get until next week...

yeah well I'm talking about the original mini. It seems very good though and Cruz's art makes the transition to the larger HC paper very well, which surprised me!

[xgeek52]

can't really blame her...

one of the reasons i retired as a journalist was because of stories like paris...she becomes the lead story when other stories should be at the top...

tin will have something to say about it when he pops in...

as for the hc, i figured that...that's why i want it...

[Karl H]

It's well worth it as an HC.

[xgeek52]

so what else is goin' on...as far as i'm concerned you're the go to guy when it comes to things across the pond...

[Karl H]

Err our new, unelected, Prime Minister appears to be making wholesale changes. Which is ominous given last week's Doctor Who where a new Prime Minister effectively took over the world!

Oh and the police have found a car bomb in Central London!

But this all pales in compaison to the musical apocalypse that is the return of the Spice Girls!

[twilight]

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6252290.stm

too good.

Right on Mika.

[xgeek52]

'cuse me...the return of the spice girls!!!

*gags*

as for dr who, a new season popping up on sci-fi next month...

looks like i'm not going back to bed...going to get coffee...

be back...

[Karl H]

Right on Mika.

had to re-read the article there as I thought you were accusing me of being everyone's favourite Anglo-Lebanese camp troubadour.

well it's comfortably the best season so far! well worth making the effort to watch, especially the 2nd half of the season. The last 5 weeks have been treat after treat. Series finale tomorrow and I'm actually excited as for once I genuinely don't have a clue how its gonna get resolved!

[Karl H]

Are these the ramblings of a paranoid mind?

2 events

New British PM

on his 2nd full day in office a bomb is found in central London.

And more pertinently, on whose agenda was the alleged bomb planted?

[xgeek52]

i don't think so...

so what's the stitch with this new pm...

[Karl H]

Gordon Brown is basically the former Chancellor (think finance minister) and there'd been a long-standing in formal agreement that he'd take over from Tony at some point.

[twilight]

so what's the stitch with this new pm...

Sitch.

SITCH.

Sitch.

Sitch.

Sitch.

NOT STITCH.

Sitch Correct!

Went and saw Transformers today to fufil a viewing assessment for school.

Not as terrible as I expected.

[xgeek52]

twi cut me some slack...it's 4am here...my brain is not gonna spell everything right...

I don't think it's out here for a while yet.

I have low-hopes but the boys are keen on viewing it for some reason.

[twilight]

twi cut me some slack...it's 4am here...my brain is not gonna spell everything right...

But you've never spelled it right.

Correct spelling is what separates us from the animals.

[xgeek52]

never been a transformers fan, but i might give it a look...

and twi, i've always been lousy at spelling...it's the mark of a true writer...

that's why they have spell check...

[twilight]

So no "true writer's" existed before spellcheck?

[xgeek52]

yeah we did...the dictionary (and i probably screwed that spelling too) sat beside us as we stumbled through our prose...

[Pro]

Whaddaya know .. if you get up earlier it takes longer for the sun to go down.

So what's the stitch?

[Karl H]

Hmm but wake up too early and you may go to bed when it's still light. that is most definitely a headfuck.

[TinMan]

Hmm but wake up too early and you may go to bed when it's still light. that is most definitely a headfuck.

Better than a hardcore assfuck!

What up bitches?

[Pro]

Not much, finishing underpaid work with arm trouble that'll take me weeks to recover from, life as freelancer sucks sometimes ..

Takes three times longer than i anticipated, meaning instead of 2100 euro the work is worth in hindsight i only get around 700 euro and a bad arm .. blergh.

[Brian M.]

Transformers + Die Hard + Jessica Biel/Scarlet Joihanson sex tape = Best Movie ever

Got the end of it is Optimus and Megatron fighting and doing the whole robot thing, then Bruce Willis comes in and is all
"yippie -ki-a mother fuckers" while blasting a gun and Jessica and Scarlet are in the middle of the fight naked and twisted in somekind of gymnaist move.

[Pro]

That sucks, what the hell did you do to yourself?

I have hypermobile joints (too much space between the joints) so my muscles cramp up rather fast if i push myself too much (which can be anything from playing computer games to sanding a door). It's bloody annoying, not to mention pretty painfull at times. If i push myself despite the pain it might become permanent.

Just pushed myself too far again. But i really hate that i spend 3 times longer on this job than expected, could have lived for almost 3 months on what the work was actually worth ..

Did you lose money cause it took to long to do the job?

Nothing I'm gonna repeat. I'm still not sure how I'm still here except for the grace of Lord Cronin.

Yea I know, like I said I'm not gonna repeat it. I guess and angrysmile at the end of it would have been a little more clear on my intentions. I'm always over the top when I joke about death.

Well it's not like ICEF and I have a long history of joking around, only recently have we been civil and held actual discussions so it's not like he was reaching when he thought I was completely serious. If you weren't in X-Cres for that one hour where we conversed then you would assume normal relations still applied. Still, I really gotta make sure I don't do anything else...I'm hanging by my pinky on a bridge that is already on fire hanging over a gap larger than TinMan's mom...see how I snuck his mom in there?

I'm so glad you took that where I wanted it to go. I thought about including that in the end but I figured na, someone will take it and run w/ it. Good job Brit.

In the few months I've been posting here I've learnt many of the subtler nuances of TinMan's mom gags!

[Arrjay]

Jesus fuck!

New Cres?!

Well, how goes it for you motherfuckers?

[Brian M.]

Jesus fuck!

New Cres?!

Well, how goes it for you motherfuckers?

Trying to make it to tonight. Going to go see Die Hard 4. Can't wait. Mindless action, impossible stunts, smart ass kid Justin Long and Bruce Willis shooting people. Man Movie.

good, shitty work night out tonight but weekend tomorrow, with Paintball, Doctor Who finale, comics and a mystery date with the new lady!

Cool. Hope you enjoy it.

I'm hangin' out for tonight also. Probably gonna se a band ior somethin'.

Regardless; booze will be involved.

Boooo. I hate being designated driver.

In the immortal words of Austrlia's greatest band; Frenzal Rhomb:

"I don't want to be your designated driver when it's much more fun to be buzzin' in the corner yea!"

[Arrjay]

But this all pales in compaison to the musical apocalypse that is the return of the Spice Girls!

What. The. Fuck??!?

Next thing you know fucking Hanson will be doing a reunion tour.

:evilangry

[Karl H]

I'm positive Hanson did release a single last year as 'grown-ups' - Cay will know I imagine.


Sorry to destroy your faith in humanity.

Next thing you know fucking Hanson will be doing a reunion tour.

You wouldn't wanna go w/ me to see that would you? We could M'Bop over there and start a mashpit.

[Arrjay]

Gordon Brown is basically the former Chancellor (think finance minister) and there'd been a long-standing in formal agreement that he'd take over from Tony at some point.

Well that's fucked.

Who made that decision?

Puts the "mock" in democracy.

[Karl H]

Well that's fucked.

Who made that decision?

Puts the "mock" in democracy.

decision was basically made years ago between Brown and Blair and although it went to a leadership 'contest' Brown went unopposed so now my nation and the nation in which you reside share unelected premieres!

[Arrjay]

You wouldn't wanna go w/ me to see that would you? We could M'Bop over there and start a mashpit.

Mashpit?

I think you mean "moshpit".

Also, it used to be called "slam-dancing"... then suddenly in the 90's it became "moshing"...still can't figure out why exactly....

Anyway, I'd love to go to that gig with you. We could trip over all the pop-kids and throw rotten fruit at the "band".

That, mixed with the defeat of true, gritty journalism, is a clear sign of the death of democracy.

"The new world order reeks of dying empire odor
and changing the channel wont make that go away.
As the veneer of democracy fades away, as the worlds
down-sized until it explodes, as the shanty-towns piled
behind the malls become visible, as the savages on the
other side of the wall break through, as everybody from
gun-crazy militias to anti-immigrant nazis to fundamentalist
child-raping christians to gangsta rappers to community
activists to working families just struggling to put food
on the table, all mad at the same thing; your SUV; me, me, me;
"mission accomplished"; bring em on;
buy more stuff, buy more stuff,
fight terror, defend freedom so we can buy more stuff.
The false illusion of the world is going down, motherfucker.
Walk off the job. Crime is beautiful.
A prank a day keeps the dog-leash away.
Quit your jobs. Burn down the malls."

-Jello Biafra.

I knew that would make you bite... :p

Yea, I'm not gonna be talking politics so soon after my return, I still close my eyes each time I click on CBR b/c I'm sure still has finger on the PermaBan button and I think it'll come at anytime.

[TinMan]

Also, it used to be called "slam-dancing"... then suddenly in the 90's it became "moshing"...still can't figure out why exactly....

Probably cause "slam-dancing" sounds gay and like "break-dancing", not to mention it implies that you are trying to dance, which we all know is not what happens in a moshpit.

[Karl H]

It's a nicer description than sweaty head-butting area though!

[Arrjay]

Probably cause "slam-dancing" sounds gay and like "break-dancing", not to mention it implies that you are trying dance, which well know is not what happens in a moshpit.

Slam-dancing came from hardcore.

Which violently shits on anything by the Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, Korn "moshpit" bands.

Watch the film "American Harcore" or read the book "Our band could be your life: scenes from the American rock underground. 1981-1991" by Michael Azerrad and you'll think much differently about the meaning of slam-dancing.

[Arrjay]

Which is why I quite like Kanye West. Have you tried Sway? He's a little bit more Grimey and UK-ififed but worht looking up.

I just find his stuff kinda boring really.

And that "Jesus Walks" shit? Yuck!

[Karl H]

I prefered the first album to the second.

Thru the Wire was a great song even if a little self-indulgent.

I think I've just negated my own point. Fuck.

You really shouldn't include Slipknot with Limp Bizkit or Korn, they are nothing like those two bands.

[twilight]

I'm pretty sure Hanson never went away.

They just took the traditional 3-4 year break between albums.

[Arrjay]

You really shouldn't include Slipknot with Limp Bizkit or Korn, they are nothing like those two bands.

Well yeah, granted, they are a little different musically from those two bands. I was just pulling random band names from the remnants of my memory of the "moshpit" band frenzy in the 90's.

:)

[Arrjay]

:)

Well, frankly speaking, I think that's unfair characterization, because I've seen moshpits at every metal concert I've gone to to date, and most current bands don't even sound like Slipknot, Korn or LB.

Not to mention I've seen videos of people moshin to shit like Creed and Breaking Benjamin, those are in no way "mosh bands". :p

Interesting bit on Elektra!

[twilight]

People just don't get moshing.

Kids these days seem to think if you're in a crowd and someone is playing music in front of you they have to "mosh".

They never seem to ask themselves "Is this mosh worthy"?

That's no shit, I swear, I've seen people trying to mosh to pop music and I'm like, "what the fuck!?" and wanna run in there and bust heads just because those people are stupid.

I wish I could think of a few of the worst examples I've seen, but I'm drawing a blank now... but like I said, I know I've seen people "mosh" to pop music.

My other musical pet peeve...throwing up the horns...FOR EVERYTHING!

Seriously,Big Day Out festival,go watch any performer and everyone there will be throwing up the horns regardless of genre.

LEARN YOUR MUSICAL HISTORY FUCKHEADS!

That's not to common over here, usually if you see the horns you know it's metal or at least rock/hard rock, you won't see people throwin up horns to gangsta rap or pop music.

I've never understood the point of a "rap concert" personally. What the fuck do you do? Just stand there and bobb your head while trying to look smooth? What the fucks the point? Then you got just one fuckin dude on stage with a microphone rappin to a soundtrack... oi-vey.

Moshing is slam-dancing. Pretty much.

People do it to anything slightly hard. Or so it seems.

To each their own; if one enjoys the music they hear and wanna move to it, more power to 'em!

:)

[Karl H]

I wish Anthony Stewart Head was the new PM of England.

How am I going to remember Gordon Brown?

Well, in Scotland, apparently it's customary to name sons after their fathers and thus people tend to be known bu their middle names.

Gordon is the middle name of James Gordon Brown. So maybe, you could imagine the new PM singing "Get up" and "take me to the bridge..." etc?

[TinMan]

I think moshing is so destructive and lame.

Like, the hustle is infinitely cooler.

Ha! One of my friends dislocated another guys shoulder blade at a Disturbed concert in Battle Creek last year, it was cool. :D

I will imagine him addressing Parliament and saying "It's a man's man's man's world".

Everyone should buy this week's Blue Beetle to fool DC into thinking Traci 13 is popular.

Moshing is slam-dancing. Pretty much.

What is the definition of slam-dancing though? Cause I don't see any dancing going on in a mosh pit.

[Arrjay]

I think moshing is so destructive and lame.

Like, the hustle is infinitely cooler.

Heh heh.

Pits can be really violent though. And that sucks.

If I'm at a show and some muscle head dumbass knocks ya to the ground my buddies an I will pick you back up. I hate the jock-mentality of violence and groping that is so common at venues these days. It sucks.

I can still go and have a good time though. Ya just have to counter what the jock fucks perpetrate.

[Karl H]

Gah... my job fucking sucks. I'm so bored and tonight I'm going to have to sit and make merry at a BBQ with people I don't want to spend time with - work people. Plus, I was at a conference last night and I didn't even drink as I had no desire to sit in there with people I didn't like. I ended up reading the latest Superman/Batman trade which made me even less happy.

[Arrjay]

What is the definition of slam-dancing though? Cause I don't see any dancing going on in a mosh pit.

It is moshing. It was born in the eighties and christened "slam-dancing".

"Moshing" was simply a name-change that came with a new generation.

[Pro]

That sucks man. There isn't any type of medication they can give you to help out or anything?

Sorry, had to run for a bit. No, can't take medicine (well steroids might work but that's hardly without side-effects). Can't take painkillers either because i need to know how much pain i really have otherwise it's too easy to push myself too far. Swimming helps but with my income being usually just below minimum i can't really afford regular swimming. Kinda sucky ..

Did you lose money cause it took to long to do the job?

I estimated 8-12 hours so that's what my client expects to pay for but i seriously underestimated the time it took, in hindsight it's more like 36 hours .. which would have sustained me for the time it takes to rest my arm, now it's barely 700 euro worth whereas 36 hours would have made me around 2100 .. so i'm a little ticked off.

I might adres the issue with my client despite that not being good business practice but the difference between 2100 and 700 is a little too much, not sure if it will make a difference though ..

[Arrjay]

I think we should divert this conversation to pit-circles.

Everyone loves pit-circles.

[dazzler_slave]

Hola everyone! Kisses to all!

That's why I don't really get into moshing, I'm not going to the show to get injured, I'm there to rock out and watch the band play. But to each there own, you don't wanna get fucked up, stay outta the pits. That's my philosophy.



It is moshing. It was born in the eighties and christened "slam-dancing".

"Moshing" was simply a name-change that came with a new generation.Well, like I said before, "slam-dancing" is a stupid name, moshing sounds better in itself.

New topic as well; fuckers that bring their old ladies right up front and act like they shouldn't be getting squished. Are these people fucking retarded? You have a couple hunrded to a couple thousand metalheads in one place rocking out to music and you don't expect crowd shift? You fucking idiot, if your old lady can't take some pushing, move to the fucking side and stop elbowing me in the goddamn ribs!!

[dazzler_slave]

I have facial herpes. You really wanna kiss?

Yay. That sounds sexy.....

New topic as well; fuckers that bring their old ladies right up front and act like they shouldn't be getting squished. Are these people fucking retarded? You have a couple hunrded to a couple thousand metalheads in one place rocking out to music and you don't expect crowd shift? You fucking idiot, if your old lady can't take some pushing, move to the fucking side and stop elbowing me in the goddamn ribs!!

Based on this I think you and I would probably end up in a confrontation if we were ever at the same shows.

Thankfully that wouldn't happen because we listen to different music.

[TinMan]

Sorry, had to run for a bit. No, can't take medicine (well steroids might work but that's hardly without side-effects). Can't take painkillers either because i need to know how much pain i really have otherwise it's too easy to push myself too far. Swimming helps but with my income being usually just below minimum i can't really afford regular swimming. Kinda sucky ..Wow man, that totally sucks.

I estimated 8-12 hours so that's what my client expects to pay for but i seriously underestimated the time it took, in hindsight it's more like 36 hours .. which would have sustained me for the time it takes to rest my arm, now it's barely 700 euro worth whereas 36 hours would have made me around 2100 .. so i'm a little ticked off.

I might adres the issue with my client despite that not being good business practice but the difference between 2100 and 700 is a little too much, not sure if it will make a difference though .. I think I would, you put in more time than what you expected, but they'll be getting a better product, so you should at least get some compensation for the added time. Maybe not tripling you fee because they were expecting far less, but still, some extra to cover yourself would be good.

[TinMan]

I like some fuckin respect as well, but I know when you go to a metal show, you're gonna get shoved a bit regardless.

Case in point: I went to a Killswitch Engage show in december, while KSE was on stage we got up front, like five rows from the stage. Well, to my front right is this guy with his old lady and every time the crowd shifted and I got pushed into him, the fucker threw an elbow into my ribs, even though I had nothing to do with it! I was just standing there and got shoved, but this fucker keeps giving me dirty looks and throwing elbows when it ain't my goddamn fault.

That's what I mean by stupid fuckers that should know better. It's one thing if someone is being stupid and wrecks your old lady, but if it's just crowd shift and you're doing shit like that, you need your ass beat.


You live in Michigan right?Yup



Do you explore your local punk/underground music scene?

Nah, I don't like punk. Some here and there may catch my attention, but for the most part I don't care for it.

[Karl H]

I don't know what "food miles" means but I want to stop it. I'm sure there is a wikipedia entry I can read.

food miles is essentially the practice of importing and flying unnecessary amounts of food over the world. But it also breaks down on a local level.

For example, I live in the main agricultural region of the UK and a single potato goes through an unbelievable amount of unnecessary miles to be processed, often going to packing plants, several hundred miles away only to be driven back to supermarkets right near the fields. Whilst its more expensive, I try to buy as much as is possible from farmers markets and stuff and I also try to buy seasonal British produce where possible. When I eventually buy my own place, I want a little vegetable garden where I can grow potatoes, beans, tomatoes etc - I already grow my own herbs.

Apologies for the most boring post of all time... In other news, I love boobs and music with guitars.

Gah... the only movie opening this weekend in the UK is Shrek the Turd.

No Transformers, No Die Hard.

I really hope it doesn't rain on Sunday for the mystery date I'm taking the new lady on as cinema would be rubbish.

[Cayman]

Wonder if my country albums would be well recieved?

They'd probably go over better than my being the sole fan of the current Wonder Woman and Amazon Attack books on the board.

it's the green idea of eating local produce etc. to prevent gas waste from overseas travel.

food miles is essentially the practice of importing and flying unnecessary amounts of food over the world. But it also breaks down on a local level.

Ooooh! Thanks! I like learning about stuff like that. I looooved growing up in Peru but we're not super knowledgeable about a lot of stuff. We don't really recycle and the only birth control they taught us in sex ed was the condom and the rhythm method.

I so should have been a teacher when I had the chance! lol!

Actually that was pretty interesting. I kinda want a little garden of my own, but I don't have anywhere to put it and it would be hard to find the time to take care of it as well.

[Pach!]

well you are doing a lot better than some american towns.

Lol... but still you can never know enough..everytime I go back I teach my friends and family something new. I feel like I have this responsibility to teach them everything I learn. I annoy a lot in Peru as you can imagine.

[Karl H]

yeah I know. I had a place all lined up to do a PGCE (English Teaching Degree) last year in Economics and Business but the pay cut kinda scared the shit out of me and I bottled it... :o

you could get one of those slightly bigger planting pots from a local hardware store, and grow just a few things to begin, like herbs or green beans.

[The Fury]

BETH!!!! :D

I was actually thinking about buying this one hydroponics machine I saw an informercial for. The thing was crazy, had it's own built in UV lamp and everything so you could grow fresh food on your kitchen counter all year long! It was nuts, these people had a whole tomato plant growing in that thing, I want one of them fuckers.
