I made a simple comment, you got defensive. The spin game don't work here, hoss.

Is he trying to flip your script? Or tickle your balls?

@handicappers has been working on his script flipping game, so I might to watch out.

Tickling my balls would be sexual harassment, you know.

and yet you'd slip him a twenty for doing it.

Ummm, no, you have been doing this for months now. Getting defensive when I make fun of your BFF is not doing you any favors. Trying to flip scripts don't work on us, slick.

Whatever you say, princess.

You take umbrage to simple comments, I'll keep that in mind the next time I want some easy jimmies to rustle.

Yeah, but you can't räpe the willing, so that disqualifies you.

 

[Chewbaccer]

True, but I'm a good liar.

 

[handicappers]

haha

Whatever you say, princess.

Sure thing sally. I figured you out a year ago and now you're using copied playbooks. Sorry I rustled your jimmies into a meltdown. Your secret is safe with me

 

[Chewbaccer]

haha

Sure is a weak meltdown.

I didn't peg you as such a sensitive little feller, but now I know.

 

[handicappers]

Sure is a weak meltdown.

I didn't peg you as such a sensitive little feller, but now I know.

Yeah, you're meltdown is kind of weak. I like how you started with the ole timey favorite of "Your jimmies are rusteld cause I got triggered". An oldie but a goodie.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Yeah, you're meltdown is kind of weak. I like how you started with the ole timey favorite of "Your jimmies are rusteld cause I got triggered". An oldie but a goodie.

A tried and true method that apparently still works.

 

[handicappers]

I wrote the book and you got your script flipped then had a weak meltdown.

 

[Omar 382]

Whatever you say, princess.

"Umbrage." Hadn't heard that word since I studied for the SAT's. Impressive, good sir.

Unfortunately for me, it looks like my dip game might be nearing its end. My dentist officially scheduled a gum graft for me in October, and said that if I don't get quit, he gives me 3 years until I develop oral cancer. My left gum is completely receded; I have half a millimeter of gum left (I think you're supposed to have four or five millimeters).

I didn't believe him in the cancer thing, because I've read so many reports that cite dip as such a rarity in correlation (let alone causation) with oral cancer. The dentist saw that I thought he was BS'ing me, so he took a picture of my gums on his computer, and then Googled something like "early stages of oral cancer." The two photos were indistinguishable. In fact, I got confused over which was mine and which was the Google image.

I wasn't planning on quitting anyway until I told my friend at work on Friday who made me promise I would quit. I kind of like her, so I said I would, and did for two days (granted, I smoked a lot of cigs both days to help with the cravings). Then Monday rolled around, and it was kind of a crazy day, and I hadn't had any nicotine all day and it was 6 PM. I was on edge; honestly probably ready to strangle a motherfucker. She was working with me, and I remembered that I had kept a spare tin of Grizzly Straight downstairs in the break room cupboards that was like 6 months old. I apologized to her (at least I had the balls to tell her) and got it and put a lip in. I felt really bad.

I kept the tin at work (I don't work again there until Friday) so that I wouldn't be tempted, but lo and behold, I made it to about 7 PM yesterday and then drove up to my local Shell and got a tin of Kodiak Wintergreen.

Fuck me. Quitting is a lot harder than I thought it'd ever be. I may just ride it out and take my chances that the dentist is wrong. If not, I made my own bed. But, any suggestions Chew?

 

[Omar 382]

Also, to those patiently waiting on my next album review, it's coming. Just been busy, so I apologize.

Knock on wood, I haven't had any issues with dip, but if it's putting your health at risk, it's not worth doing it.

You might try some Camel snus to help ween you off the nicotine. It comes in a little tin full of pouches that go in your upper lip, and you don't have to spit the juice.

OK
What did I miss.
Have we done the entire 500 yet???

 

[Omar 382]

Well this shit lasted about as long as my dick did while finger-banging Jessica in the 10th grade with her shirt off

 

[Omar 382]

OK

Have we done the entire 500 yet???

No, but then (like most things in my life)- it's not my fault.

If Bob Dylan's "Highway 61 Revisited" didn't suck so much ass, then I might have finished it and continued in my quest.

 

[Omar 382]

Ok, so this fell by the wayside- but I thought I'd give a review of an album I've listened to in entirety recently.

Station To Station: 4/5 stars

I really enjoyed this one, even if it's not nearly as accessible as some of Bowie's other stuff (but still more accessible than some of his other stuff, like the instrumentals on "Low").

I feel like this album is largely forgotten in his catalog, but it's really worth checking out. My favorites are "Station To Station," "Golden Years," and "TVC 15." There's a lot of interesting backstories to a lot of the questions. Station To Station (the song) is 10 minutes long, but trust me, give it a listen.

Bowie claims to not remember hardly any of the making of this album, as he was insufflating mass quantities of cocaine every day (some say around a gram). While I don't condone such actions, it gives the songs their sort of manic feel that works for this particular album.

 

[Omar 382]

Now that I have Spotify Premium, I can listen to whole albums at a time. With that said, I will now try to listen to every album on the Top 500, and rate and review it. Here's the list.

500 Greatest Albums of All Time

I will also comment that I do not know a whole ton about music, and what makes it good. Music is largely subjective, and I'm just giving my opinion.

And thus, it begins.

1. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Clubs Band: 2/5 stars
Artist: The Beatles
Metacritic score: 100
Listened continuously?: Yes

Comments: I am admittedly not a huge fan of The Beatles at all. This album was no exception. I'm not knocking those who love the band, but I think it spoke to an entire generation that I was not a part of. I did really enjoy "A Day in the Life" and "With a Little Help From my Friends." They were songs I'd go back to and listen to on their own. I even somewhat enjoyed "She's Leaving Home," though not as much as the other two.

Songs I didn't enjoy include "Getting Better," "Fixing a Hole," "Good Morning, Good Morning," and especially "Within You Without You."

I don't know that you would really count the album as psychedelic rock, but if you would, it sucked. Again, not knocking Beatles fan. I'm just not a fan of them or this album.

Next up? "Pet Sounds" by The Beach Boys

I have radically changed my opinion on Sgt. Pepper. It is a great album. I'd go 4/5 stars now
