Hey, Beckies! This year sure flew by quickly. Hopefully that pesky apocalypse coming up on Friday won't cut it too short.
Hiya, Lord! Nice to see you again!

Dude, I am not the King of JP.com (I am the General....heh). Thus, no need to answer or apologize to me. Mention MRH anytime you want. Wasn't that the band I said that I'd even try to digup a bootleg for you so you could see your wife get that guitar pick? I'm just glad that you do recognize that the only time you really mention Priest, it is to trash them. Disrespect to do so on their own website, if you ask me. You KNOW something is wrong when you are on the same side as Bwian. Only true difference is to swap out MRH and his favorite, Maiden.
That said, post anything you so desire. If you recall, what really kicked this off was me saying that I liked the new Van Halen!

I'm not sure that you really care but I did try to find out the meaning of the two X's. I asked on their site
and the response that I got was that in the beginning they all wore different style masks and attire. After a few albums they decided
to have a more universal look. They all started wearing similar attire and masks that bore the XX symbol. To sum it up if I'm understanding
correctly the XX was the ending of one era and the start of another. Now they use the two X's in everything MRH.
@Guido, (and anyone else it bothers) I get your frustration with me mentioning these guys all the time.
I've mentioned Priest on their site but not to the extent that I've mentioned MRH here. I know that people here do not care about them.
I'll try to take that into consideration in future posts. What some should understand though is that I'm only trying to help keep this site going
by posting and contributing. I post about and contribute by discussing what's going on in my life or things that interest me in life. Right now
MRH is the band that interests me the most.
Not an apology or attempt at dialogue.
I know where we stand. I'm OK with it. Peace!

A question for anyone with input. Who is crazier, the person who posts on a blog or the person who tracks you? Is it a simple lack of understanding of how a blog / noticeboard works?
Serious question. [ed note. I'll include YouTube there as well as you can see stalkers left and right. Not knowing Facebook, I won't comment on that but any thoughts are welcome].

Straight income. Sounds like it's similar to here. Depends on your earnings though, 30% is about average. Our goods and services tax is 15%.
That's true HRMG, you can't expect something without having to pay for it! The only reason we get our medical care the way it is is because of the taxes we pay.

Man I could respond but I really don't want a back and forth here. I've had too many already.
I was happy and wanted to express it but I don't want to keep posting just to irritate people here.
Take care man.

Not saying this to get in an argument by the way, just pointing out that big bad socialism isn't always a bad thing. In certain aspects. Capitalism certainly hasn't been going that well to be honest.

SAME! I assume that you are speaking of George W.? No matter. Same went for his father! The electronic vote I placed today was a laugh. "I vote for the person who will vote for me" was pretty much what the electronic screen I pressed actually read! I even had helpers to a touch-screen! Amazing! Can't poke a box, I say that you can't vote! Still, I live in a "red" state. Didn't matter a damn what I voted. Not a "key" state like....um...Ohio! Not even ALL Ohio, just where people outnumber the cows. I still argue that Gary Coleman would have fixed the ills of this nation. No matter that he passed on years ago.
Now, more important than Obama's "just made enough electoral college votes" speech that keeps me awake, what about Canada? Much more important! What of the poor mushroom people of Nova Scotia?!? The Royal Pudding might be spilled!

Publicity is always good I just thought it was a little corny naming a President of Heavy Metal.

Let one of those other guys carry the title so metal fans can look at it and laugh at their expense and not Rob's.

Damn straight, DF. While I can't get most games here without paying extra (and, heck, who but old people sit around to watch baseball every day anyway?...HAAA!!), the Tigers didn't have it going from the get-go. Ah well, them's the breaks. At least someone (you!) might remember the very first "JP roaming necklace" pic I ever posted. World Series with me and Mikey at the World Series in 2006.

Just as I was about to say that the SF pitching has been superb and Fielder has now gone 1-13, Young HR and then Dirks on base!
Damn....Peralta "comes close..."

Bleah! Not exactly the result i wanted at home either. As was said a hundred times during the game, the pitching was better but the Tigers couldn't string too many hits together!
What the heck is up with their big hitters?!

HA! While I haven't "jumped" by a longshot, I have been chatting this over with friends and family. We ALL have some advice for ol' Mr. Leyland about how NOT to pitch to someone. Has the guy heard of an intentional walk before? Why pitch to someone on a (very) hot streak when you have someone like Posey who was in a hitting slump waiting on deck?
While I didn't personally feel the fan-generated earthquake, I am having difficulty typing because I smashed the glass of my tv trying to reach through it to strangle the Tigers coaching staff. LOL!

You know what sucks? I could have planned a Dio Disciples show up there. They play on a Saturday and I have Sundays off.
It would have been perfect. I may try to hit a show in the spring. I'd hate to run into a storm during the winter. I was checking their line-up
and other than that masked band (lol) and D. D. there aren't too many bands scheduled that would make me drive to Detroit
to see them. I'll get a show in though and I'll try to get a picture and maybe video for youtube. Peace.

Oh yeah, and get there on time. There are no seats on the main floor (some round tables and bar stools usually sit in back) and the stage is really tall so you normally can get as close as you want. Read this to say "as close as the massive bouncers allow!" During the Resurrection tour, I could have literally jumped up and smacked Metal Mike on the boot!

Yesterday when I made the post below I didn't mention that I bought VIP for Dio Disciples.
Basically, kept it to myself for two reasons. One, I didn't think anyone would care and two, I did it without
knowing what VIP involved. I emailed the venue last night and received a reply today. It made me
very happy. First the VIP tickets were only 40 dollars. Also they include a Dio album/CD(?) autographed
by the band. A picture with the band with a meet n' greet, a guitar pick, and a chance to win an autographed
guitar from the band. MRH VIP was 80 bucks and didn't include a meet n' greet or autographs. (Didn't buy it)
Anyway, I can't wait until this show. They were so awesome last year. If anyone here has a chance, GO. You
won't regret it. Peace!

Can't wait til Saturday.
I've seen Mushroomhead 9 times in the last three years the last being in May and
yet it seems like it's been forever since I've seen them. Saturday I get my fix.
The annual  "Halloween" show in Cleveland. I can't wait.
...also, I saw where Dio Disciples are doing more dates. Some in Texas and California
and other parts of the U.S. as well. If any of you get a chance to see this and if you were a fan of Dio
I highly recommend this show. I saw them last year and thought they were fantastic. Ripper does most Dio well.
They changed the bass player and the keyboardist but I can't imagine it won't still kick ass.
 ...go see this show!!!
Ripper's own "Tap House" (Akron, Ohio) in November. I'll be there. |

Sad case, isn't it? Apparently, they left the girl sitting in the waiting room for a couple of hours and, when the only ER doc that is on duty couldn't figure it out, they figured it was all psychological. Thus, they apparently restrained her until the psychologist could arrive. Of course, the hospital doesn't have one on staff.
While the story itself was big local news when it happened, rumor has it that the wrongful death suit was settled out of court with a gag order being part of the settlement. No officlal news ever reported, IOW.

Thanks again for the relay, HRMG, please keep 'em coming. Phil: the FB-phobes are pulling for ya buddy!
About the helicopter insurance, even with it just think of the nightmare in terms of logistics. Provided you can first afford it, you then have to be of sound mind to say that you have it BEFORE being admitted to the hospital. As you know, once formally admitted, you are theirs until they discharge or transfer you. Provided that the proper stars are in alignment and that your "life threatening injury" isn't so bad that you aren't able to give verbal (perhaps written as well) consent to go to another hospital, you best pray that the only helicopter isn't in use, the guys are around AND that the weather isn't bad (always something to keep in mind in tornado-land)!
That is why I try not to have my arms ripped off by a thresher. If I do, I'll be sure to check all of the variables mentioned above first. Oh yes, and be sure to practice signing my name with my toes.

WHAT?! Now that is just silly! LOL!! Normally,I'd ask what you call a "dairy" but they haven't really existed since I was a kid. Back in the stone ages when you could count on the milkman to deliver all sorts of dairy products (in the milk chute, of course, that eventually gave way to the milk box in my house) and the most popular store at Granny's house was "the City Dairy." While I suppose you COULD buy milk there, I never got past the ice cream counter. YUM!
