like

lemonbrickcombo .......... (could be icecream, could be a band)

and

coldglasseye .........(you really should put that thing in your front pocket for about fifteen minutes before inserting it)


whoops, *ColdGlassEye

pardon me


Hehe!

I nearly mis-spelt it when I was creating the account. I'd have been CodGlassEye forever ...


fishy prosthesis

hey, fish are people too


ah thanks

it's far geekier than that, fellow No Age lover.


far geekier?

ah, "lemonbrickcombo" is the password you were assigned to access your course work for the online flower arranging academy and institute of miming of which you were considering dropping cause you got a full scholarship to enter the Acme School of Religious Broadcasting?


no, it's a reference to the pan galactic gargleblaster

described in Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams.

Your version is far better though.


Thanks, but I love Douglas Adams too much to believe that.

Yeah, that's the drink that zaphod makes for ford and arthur which has some strange after effects (I think)? Have you read the "More Than Complete Hitchhiker's Guide"? And are you familiar with Hotblack Desiato and his band demolition zone or something like that? The band which sets up gargantuan amps in space and plays gigs that are heard throughout the galaxy, I love it, I've read it several times but still don't recall lemonbrickcombo. I'll reread and see if I can pick it up.


It's hoe the Guide describes the drink

Like being smashed around the head with a slice of lemon, wrapped around a large gold brick.

(That may not be word perfect.)


oh yeah! yes, thanks!

I already dug out my copy and planned to read some bedtimey taleos.

night


and

thewarn - the ever menacing


cause i'm cringeworthy?

I just thought a slight celebration of the many wonderful contributors to this "MUSIC" forum might be just the ticket. You're just jealous cause I didn't mention your user name.... huh?


besides

In my opinion there is only one forum at DiS; MUSIC therefore where else WOULD I post it?


:)

social?
looks like you and i are the only active users right now.
and for the record i like Yeiamaduck.


+ I'm cringeworthy

and you are a stickler- just ever so.


DangerousSnails = Ross Daniel Angus

Anagram innit, yes I am very smart.


make me one, please

Patrick Kelly Cronin


oh dear

I can't just change the name on rue the day but I shall (with your permission) launch a new user name this very day!

cheers herr. angoose!


that's amazing

do you have anagram software?


Yeah

It's called Higher English.

:D


not much of that in my neck of the woods

that's one reason I like hangin around DiS. I love the way my language is used in such new and interesting ways.


i.e.

puns?


puns and more

I'm one of those Americans who goes gah over Englishers (Britainians?) and their amazing command of, well, English.


"Englishers"

Ouch! Give me some respect! Scots i'll have you know!

:D


I promise not to call you SCOTCH!

Yeah, there I go making assumptions again- I get burned everytime. Well, may I redifine my infatuation as an American that goes gah over fancy (United Kingdom) talk? Anyway, you know what I mean, lots of Americans are enamoured by the whole uk mystique. It seems to come natural. I was infected by it before the Beatles and the whole British Invasion- it must come natural- I am 1/4 Welsh and 1/2 Irish- could be that? I'm 1/8 Danish and 1/4 Swedish and I love Lingonberries, Bang and Olufson, King Diamond, opeth and Dungen so yeah, it's in the blood.


rue the day

Oh dear lord what a fabulous user name, I JUST love it.


CLEVER


Yes, you am very clever

now me

Patrick Kelly Cronin

oh, I tried, it's hopeless


My favourite

is PaintyCanNed


ol PaintyCanNed- I forgot this SO funny handle

everything he posts is more fun to read with that name attached to it- somehow


i'm daft

It has a nice ring but is there a joke or pun in there?

Nice ring is cool though


honorable mention for "monkeybutler"

I just need a butler in the worst way; if that's all that's available- I'll take it.


Wow notoriety at last.

I may even actually start posting in the music forums now.


just paving the way for excellence

I see you parked in the online lot during the wee hours and your name ALWAYS makes me laugh.

give us the story.


Stories are always a disapointment

like learning how a magic trick works, they are always underwhelming (i.e. give me 5 minutes to a)remember b)make something up when I find the original is dull).

I do pretty much live here in the wee hours. Nothing better than sitting in social talking about what cereal your eating.


have you seen "Death At A Funeral"

watched that last night, nearly died laughing.

It's directed by Miss Piggy

Yeah, I can make up my own yarn as to the origin of Comrade_Penguin- I'll need 5-10 as well.


Right

Penguins have been a life long thing. Always loved them. I suppose it is because when on their own, in the water they're graceful, flowing, built for purpose. However get them on land and they're awkward, stumbling and yet still get together in a large group and muddle through. And that was me as a kid, confident on my own, rubbish with people, wanting more friends but not if I had to loose my awkward, stumbling style. I liked that part of me.

The rest of it is fairly simple. A brief fascination with communism as many young teenage boy have and I designed the character as a mascot for an electric car we were building. During a particularly dull biology lesson I also managed to craft his sidekick Firework Tortoise, whose mobility problems were overcome by strapping a gunpowder based entertainment device to his back.

After a particularly painful early teen break up I locked myself in a room and designed a simple vertical scrolling space shooter where CP used FT as a boomerang to kill Capitalist Pigs (naturally) and eventually faced the devil in a McDonald's (Tm) belly top. Sadly I think all this has been lost to a long dead hard drive.

There you go, one thread neatly killed. Back to the cereal chatter on Social.


Comrade_Penguin and Firework Tortoise

I'm going to write a song about them.

Thanks for sharing, yes, you have finished the thread wonderfully- have a bowl of Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch on me.

Thanks!


just to keep things on the up and up

What does Comrade_Penguin listen to? It's OK there are no wrong answers here, folks are cheerful and accepting on the Music Boards. : ) ( : : ) : ) : )- see, nothing but happy faces.


Oh I'm not scared of you

more perturbed by how nice you are to each other. I once had a discussion about British punk with someone who disagreed with me and we actually stated reasons and worked out why we thought differently to each other. It felt dirty. The internet is for shouting opinions louder than each other and slowly destroying each others souls.


Seems to work for me

It is a soul sucking death machine where entire universes slip quietly into the void- what, my life is over?
