If Michael Cera commits suicide on Christmas Day, you'd get 12 points for his age (27), +3 Unnatural Causes bonus, +5 Party Pooper bonus (20 points) + 3 Unique Pick (23 points), doubled for Joker bonus = 46 points. In short, you'd still lose. 

I shall save my hopes for a MCCS for next year then. Fuck you,  @Bigsby.

Come on Michael Cera Christmas Suicide!

xx

Always!

Death to anyone who falls outside the format. Instant death. A laser beam that turns them into a powder.

Fuck that format. I got 3-4-4 because the groupings of digits in my number work better that way. UP THE PUNX!

Yeah that's more what I mean. Fair enough if they're used for anxiety disorders, I didn't know that, but I'm talking more about adults who buy them because "OMG they're so much fun!!!!!!"

I'm torn on the subject. As an anxiety coping mechanism I think they're an amazing idea. Even as an entry-level, I-think-I-kinda-wanna-try-some-art-based-stuff gateway drug type thing I think they're a pretty cool tool to get people to pick up a set of pencils.. but they're also drastically faddy just now and I fucking hate fads. Fads are for fuds.

If your cats are anything like mine, that is nothing more than a multi-storey cat bed with clean washing as a lining.

Ha, no idea why it posted twice and it doesn't quite make the point the way intended. Hope Sandi doesn't come on here, she could mock my mistakes.

Nah, she's not a back-stabbing ingrate!

xx

It wasn't. I actually knew that! I've watched a couple of games (and that film with Ellen Page) and I follow the Aberdeen and Dublin teams on Facebook. You've totally lost me by going into it deeper though

That's what she said.

Were none of you guys ever taught that if you can't say anything nice about someone, say f*** all? Have any of you ever been on worldwide tours, or played huge venues? No, I thought not. Sandi may not be to everyone's taste but at least she has had a career and had her 15 minutes in the spotlight. Sour grapes maybe? Have you been further than the Moorings in your chosen career? The lassie is pregnant and if any of you have experienced a wife or partner who is carrying your child, they CAN get a bit emotional and hormonal, gie the lass a break. 

I've never met Sandi but I do know her stepmum Sandra very well and a nicer, more down-to-earth woman you couldn't wish to meet. I don't know the history of her dad's accident, so can't comment on his financial state, but they do live in a nice house that hadn't cost a massive amount when they bought it. Over the years Sandra has given me various cds that Sandi has produced and her own spin on classics such as The House of The Rising Sun and Frankie Miller's Caledonia are pretty damn good and that's from someone who has played in bands since the early 60s and I'm nae easily impressed, believe me. Definitely nae impressed by the character assassination going on here, I can't believe the Aberdeen music scene has turned into such a nasty, back-stabbing bunch of ingrates.

How exactly is anyone stabbing her in the back? It's hardly as though she's out there championing the cause of small-venue, local level music scenes? Ingrates? What the fuck do we have to be grateful to her for?! DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT WORDS MEAN?!

Buying a Raspberry Pi doohicky for about 20 quid, fannying about on the computer with it for a couple of hours then plugging it into my TV and having EVERY SINGLE SNES AND MEGA DRIVE GAME ever made is ace-ic.

 

Can't recommend this thing enough

 

Fucking great, right?!

I have the same setup but since I use a PC for gaming in my living room I just set up emulators on there. Been playing the shit out of old Monkey Island games just now. So much awesome!

xx

you can't punch or closeline people. 

Then what the fuck is the point?!

xx

Her dad was a fisherman who was badly injured at work then retrained as a helicopter pilot for bond so I don't think he could be described as "monied" , he and her mother are also divorced and have been for quite a while

Hurt in an accident at work..? Ch-ching!

xx

Worse.

"Happy birthday Gran, you would have been 74 today, I know you're up there driving all the angels crazy singing Cher and drinking Taboo".

Oh those fuckers are the WORST. I can deal with "This would have been my Gran's birthday and she was a swell old bird and not nearly as racist as you'd expect a 74y/o to be so this is a bittersweet time for me..." statuses, because at least they're actually directed at their audience. These fucking facebook statuses aimed into the fucking aether like some kind of trans-mortal soliloquy can eat a bag of infected dicks. Take your public private introspection and poke it up your fucking pisshole - sharing it doesn't make you look spiritual and deep, it makes you look like an arsehole.

"Happy Birthday Dad!

He's not on FB 
But I felt the need to post an amazing man's Birthday!"

...just fuck you.

xx

MASH looks like it's on VHS.

xx

Another fucking burst car tyre on the way to work. At least this time the fucker had the decency to go just outside the office.

xx

Bo Burnham writes decent funny songs.

I fucking love Bo, I think he falls into the same category as Bailey and Minchin, where he has really interesting stuff to say (though a lot of his stuff is just silly too) but he also writes really great lyrics and is a really solid musician too.

There's nothing more punk than going against the classic punk aesthetic while still calling yourself a punk. Most Punx.

What's more punk than being punk? NOT being punk!

xx

You bought it just because it had punk in the title didn't you? Sandi Thom liking bastard......

Did people buy it for any other reason?!

xx

NOBODY IS GOING TO HEAR MY SONG BECAUSE THE BBC IS THE ONLY PLACE TO DISTRIBUTE MUSIC IN 2015.

xx

..and maybe her song is shite because she's obviously just writing cookie-cutter shite to try to get on the radio. Kinda pathetic really. I'm putting her on my Deadpool list for next year, I smell a birthday suicide.

xx

That sounds amazing. To be fair, that one song she did in 2005 was pretty popular.

xx

EDIT: Amazing, nothing is ever deleted from the internet!

Ah fuck, deleted video. What did I miss??

xx

Oh great, it's shouty, I hate everything guy 

 

Ach, whatever tools get the job done.  I wouldn't judge.  Synth bass can sod off, but only because it puts me out of a job

Haha, yeah that guy is a bit of a dick, but I kinda like him. He makes good points a lot of the time and his tutorials on recording methods are actually pretty helpful, especially for a total n00b like me. And in this case, I think he's especially angry because home recordings like what SvJ was talking about are putting HIM out of a job!

xx

EDIT: Though, I'm also a shouty, I hate everything guy - so it's pretty obvious that I'd like him, I guess!

Some before/after videos and stuff and an idea of the progress that can be made with a set number of lessons might be a really good way to coax some people off the fence and through the door.

xx

What scares me off, and I didn't think to put this in my questionnaire, is that I have no idea how long it takes to see results. I do shouty shitty punxxx vocals so I'm not interested in sounding particularly wonderful, but I've always wanted to get a few lessons to get a little more accurate in my pitch, get some better breathing technique so that when I'm shouting and belting it's not so hard on my breathing, but I don't know if I'd need 5 lessons or 50. Plus I'm a lazy bastard who always puts things off.
