Maybe a disease is a very strong word, I would refer to it as an affliction maybe.

I have been too lazy to find out what exactly causes it but I get a horrible allergic reaction which results in blisters in my mouth which I tells ya is not pretty.
Yes. I love it. I try and go for about 30 cracks hitting all the joints in my hands!flying _squirl wrote: »do you crack your knuckles?

Mwhahaha secret, secret!What's the secret plan? Nah, it was just a game of scrabble thats all. :P......or was it????
Ok, this is a tough one. I've been switching albums and songs by the new time lately and I think I've finally settled on Fixxxer/The Outlaw Torn/House That Jack Built for song and Load/Reload for album.Favorite Metallica album and song? 0 -

Referring to the Doctor's question: do you really have inflammation of the gambling?
I do indeed. It started when I was about 14. I started working in a bar owned by horsey people so I got into it from there. Reading form and backing a few here and there that the local jockey tipped. I had been playing poker in the mean time too. I've given up on the horses as it was killing me! Saturday afternoons sitting in the bookies waiting for the result of the 3.15 at Kempton is not as fun as it sounds. I play a mean game of poker tough!!
I'm gonna try and pick 3 non-Metallica songs for this.Master of Nothing wrote: »Three songs you really love?
I love Turn The Page by Bob Segar.
Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd
and......Baz Lurman - Sunscreen. I oft get a lump in my throat listening to this. Everyone should listen to this song at least every 2 days!
Not a fan! I def more of a dog lover.Master of Nothing wrote: »What is your opinion on cats?
I've never really thought about this! I love questions that make you think and challenge your creative side at 10am! :P I think it would have to be The Hulk with Spiderman's web and Wolverine's claws. I would name him.....Gav. :PMaster of Nothing wrote: »Should a Marvel or D.C. comics executive give you creative license to make one character and he publishes it, what would it be?
I've literally fallen over laughing at Ricky Gervais, but i don't think I've ever shed a tear.Master of Nothing wrote: »Ever cried laughing watching a movie?

Laziness. I don't mind people relaxing and taking it easy when the opportunity comes but if there is a lot of work to do and people think it's fine just to sit back and let everyone else take the slack I get really riled up.Master of Nothing wrote: »What really grinds your gears?
Work hard, play hard! You earn your relaxation time!
I love Beast and The Harlot, GH 3 I think it was on. Favoutite instrument is def the guitar. Can't manage the drums fr my life and the singing is easy as long as it's not on expert. :P Just match the tone and you're fine.Master of Nothing wrote: »Favourite song to play on GH/RB? and what instrument?
Aww yeah, I love my jelly beans!! You can fit easily 30 in your mouth at once! It's great!Master of Nothing wrote: »Are you all about jelly beans?

Well it ain't so much of a party trick so much as a piece. I sing Johnny Cash songs when I have a few in me. I can do a few card tricks too bu they don't last very long.Master of Nothing wrote: »Last questions for now...do you have a party trick? and is there a particular skill you would like to learn? If we played poker I could make your money disappear though! That's a trick I've been ding for a number of years.

I think I went searching for a topic needing some advice and I registered an account. Was very inactive for the first 2 years as i didn't really know anyone. I think I was just looking for the right forum, which I'm not sure how I found but I've bee here since.1) how did you end up on boards??
I go through stages of being able to and then losing it. I never stick at it which I think is my let flaw. But give me two oranges and I'll juggle till the cows come home!2) can you juggle??
I think I would have a Tiger or some sort. I really love big cats. I hate those small domestic ones.3) if you could have any zoo animal as a pet, what would you choose??
Or maybe a Chimp, I could teach it to do stuff for me! Wash my clothes, cook my dinner! Do my college assignments whenever I have one of them to do again! :P0 -

Tirabaralla wrote: »Jako8 stole my (quite obvious) question...
So I'll ask you this: I was surprised when u said Load/Reload are your fave albums at the moment, usually "real Metallica fans" say even the black album was a bit commercial bla bla, I myself am a fan Load so I share your feelings...can u give me more insight on your preferences? Why/What, how do u answer to the purists' critique? That would make me happy ^_^
Wow, great question! I'm gonna try my best to answer this.
Why I love Load first of all;
Now I know it doesn't follow the same trend as their 4 monumental albums from the 80's, but this is no reason for people to say they sold out. This was an experimental album and I love them for changing their pace and sound.
That's not saying I don't love all their albums. I do (except St. Anger which never existed in my opinion)!
They have some fantastic songs on this such as 2X4, House That Jack Built, Bleeding Me, The Outlaw Torn and loads more. It's a nice long album which I appreciate. It actually means they put some effort in and wanted it to mean something instead of having a crappy 35-40 minute album. Well imho. The lyrics in most of those songs really strike a chord with me for some reason. Even though I have heard these songs hundreds of times I still appreciate them like it was the first time! lol
In answer to the purists;
Purists needs to take those sticks out of their asses! The band did not sell out. They tried a different avenue and imo it worked. If people are pissed because they didn't stay with the same trend fast paced thrashy metal albums of the 80's then they need to get over themselves. This attracted a whole new set of fans which massively increased the popularity of the band an their songs which is a bad thing??? How does popular=bad??
I'm hoping that answers your questions. Feel free to ask many more! 0 -

Since you seem to be a fanboi of MEtallica, what did you think of their involvement in the Napster business several years ago?
Do you not think that a band ceasing to challenge themselves and their audience is a bad thing? I cite the afore mentioned Metallica who have reduced themselves to nothing more than radio friendly unit shifters having once been part of the movement that created thrash metal (yes, I'm a bit of a music snob and I hate to see musical laziness, so I feel the same way about U2, RHCP and several others).
Do you play any musical instrument (or sing) yourself?
What do you want to be when you grow up?
Have you any major regrets in life so far?
Thank you 0 -
People have become so close minded. People should be free to talk about what they like in the open and not be judged by snobs who think they are better than everyone else because they belong to the "banking class".What pisses you off about society?
Also wage classifications! Something that has always bemused me is the fact that people think it's ok for someone who kicks a ball around for an hour and a half every Saturday deserves to earn 150 grand a week where the top professionals in Neurosurgery earn roughly 300 grand a year!!
What is with that? I would love if someone could explain that to me!How is it that someone who saves hundreds of peoples lives earns in a year what a footballer who causes riots on occasions, beatings and deaths can earn in a fortnight! It's absolutely ridiculous!!
I've won a couple of hundred on occasion but that's about it unfortunately. I'm planning on making a big scoop some day at the WSOP!Ever land a big win in the bookies? :pac: A guy can dream.The world is ending, pick your team your five to save it.
Iceman, Ricky Gervais, The Hulk, MetaKnight and Croc Dundee! I think they cover every aspect of a world disaster.0 -

I'm very busy at the mo so when I'm free later I'll sit down and answer this properly if that's cool?Do you play any musical instrument (or sing) yourself?
I can play a range of instruments, guitar, flute, tin whistle, little bit of drums, bodhran(if that counts), accordion, piano and I've tried playing the violin but I ain't making the best of it.What do you want to be when you grow up?
Remembered! :P
I would love to be an astronomer or some form of scientist. Something Mathsy related but I think I might be pushing it.Have you any major regrets in life so far?
Not working hard enough to do what I wanted in college. And then quitting college is another for that list. There is one or two women related problems too but I'll keep those for me if you don't mind.
Very Welcome.
Thank you 0 -

Extremely sorry for my late reply guys I've just been snowed under over the past couple of days and haven't had much free time.Since you seem to be a fanboi of MEtallica, what did you think of their involvement in the Napster business several years ago?

Ok things may not have been worded correctly but I don't think it was about the money as lots of people thought it was. Why would a massive band who had 20 years of fame behind them worry about the money? I think they were standing for their principals which I do respect them for but tbh they were fighting a losing battle. This was regarding music as a whole and not just them personally.Do you not think that a band ceasing to challenge themselves and their audience is a bad thing?
If you mean "not having enough faith in themselves of their fans to deal with this", then I do think this is a bad thing but having the guts to stick their neck out and standing up for music regardless of the outcome I think deserves some respect.
I'm not intimately familiar with the situation unfortunately but from what I have read on the topic, that is my opinion.who have reduced themselves to nothing more than radio friendly unit shifters
Have you listened to Death Magnetic?
The last movie I saw was "Where The Wild Things Are" with James Gandolfini.1) last movie you saw? And what you thought of it.
Was ok I guess! Wasn't a huge fan but it passed a couple of hours for me. Some cool characters and the end actually nearly made me cry which makes me think it was good enough to hold my attention for the whole movie. :P2) last album you bought?
Tool!3) recommend a band that, not metallica though:P
I have not seen it yet but would like to regardless of the sh!t reviews it's gotten!See you like Ricky Gervais.
Have you seen invention of lying? and if yes, was it any good?
Like Gervais myself and haven't seen that movie yet.
Yeah I like it. Makes you get your thinking cap on for some things.Do you like answering questions?
Haaaaaate it!!! :PCider - Love it or Hate it?0 -

In metal popularity is frowned upon. :rolleyes:
:P
Yes.Do you agree that Outlaw Torn on S&M is epic? Probably my favorite song on that album. If you could remove one country from existence what one would it be and why?
I would probably pick Guinea-Bissau as I have no idea where it is. Have no clue about the culture of the people who live there and I think if it was gone tomorrow it wouldn't really have that much of an impact on my life whatsoever.
If anyone would like to educate me on this country or its people I am very willing to learn. 0 -

I think it would have to be the Stegosaurus! He looks like a hefty beast you don't want to mess with.Favourie dinosaur?
I would very much like to meet DooM and Kharn actually.Out of the Nocs you didn't meet at the beers who would you be most interested in meeting?Are you enjoying the Humanitas Tournament?
Yes very much so. It seems I don't have to do as much reading up on these characters as I do for the other tournaments.(Only really gotten involved lately really) Superheros or comic book characters are not something I'm very knowledgeable about unfortunately.
Mmmmmm chips.Daddy or chips?0 -
