Even, if you look a little, a somewhat naughty pic!
Look! See! Learn! Shudder!

Nice taste in music. Mason, eh? I've walked around your Grand Lodge in Cockeysville -- big place. So what's the deal with Masons, anyhow?
Posted by First of Two (Member # 16) on :
*assumes his best southern drawl*
"Ah did not have improper sexual relations with those women."
. What is it with the Masons? Masonry is a worldwide fraternity promoting freedom, equality, and brotherhood. Something like 16 Presidents, and many other important founders of and figures in the US's history have been Masons, as well as numerous other world leaders. Requirements for joining vary. but in Pennsylvania, one must be a free-born male over 21, who believes in a Supreme being (no mention of what or what kind, which is how Deists like myself and Thomas Jefferson got in), and is reccommended by two other Masons. (You have to ask to join, nobody can ask you to join.)
The only really secret stuff is the ritual work... the words and phrases said and done during the initation ceremony, most of which can be found in slightly altered form in any decent book on Freemasonry in any major library (leaving out the Tim LaHaye and other loonie fundie books).

Odd... Doesn't that sort of thing usually work the other way 'round?
Posted by Malnurtured Snay (Member # 411) on :
I'm actually really surprised Rob's a Live fan. Love that group -- seen 'em twice in concert.
Posted by First of Two (Member # 16) on :
You've seen Live live, eh?
I don't have the newest album. Is it any good?
"Throwing Copper" I think was my favorite album. Mostly because "I Alone" is a damn great 'angry song'... and 'cause it's sung from Satan's point of view.
Posted by Malnurtured Snay (Member # 411) on :
They're excellent. Saw 'em at the HFStival the first time -- big rock concert a local station holds every year. Caught Mighty Mighty Bostones (wow!), Offspring, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Blink 182 and a bunch of other acts, too ... MMB and Live were definitly the top two in my opinion.
Saw 'em again about a year ago at Merriweather Post with Counting Crows. WOW! You should definitly get to see Live live. Or live Live. Confusing.
I haven't heard their new album -- just listened to the new single on the radio. Totally in love with it.
Posted by Mojo Jojo (Member # 256) on :
Well, whadda ya know, ol' First of Two actually has a good (excellent even) taste in music!
Live is a fantastic band, IMO it's right up there with Genesis, U2, Nirvana and the RHCP's. Three Doors Down is great also (if you like modern rock).

So on the record, officially, nothing happened.

Of course, we all know that "official records" and reality don't always quite match... :-)

Simon has a thing against anyone who likes a group with a record contract. He thinks they're "mainstream" ... or, in other words, he looks down on people who like what other people like. He's an elitist snob, believe it or not.
Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
It's true. If they've got a fanbase of more than 26 people, then they're obviously not trying hard enough.
Simon is so bad, that occasionally he listens to bands that haven't even been formed yet.
Posted by Malnurtured Snay (Member # 411) on :
That's ... bad.
Posted by Mojo Jojo (Member # 256) on :
Only 99% of all artists have a record contract. But having one != being mainstream. I guess Simon doesn't listen to a lot of music Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
And he smells.
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
Like cheese.

Very old cheese, no doubt.

Posted by First of Two (Member # 16) on :
GTHOOMT!
And I belong to a band that never recorded a single song, and never will, "Only Us." does that make me a hero in his eyes?
But enough about the Imaginary Orgy...
Ain't my woman the cute?
Posted by Malnurtured Snay (Member # 411) on :
Not to mention that Live had a big following in Pennsylvannia and Maryland and the surrounding areas long before they ever went on MTV -- hell, they're from York, PA ... less then an hour away from me.
Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
First: That's pretty good. I was also in a band, and we never got further than playing a few chords on the guitar, and coming up with the name "500 parrots called Jim". Simon loved us.
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
That's about as far as my cousins Jason and Eric and I got with our band way back in high school. But we had a horrible band name. It was "The Sexy Studs and Ugly Cousin Chris."
Why is it so horrible? My name is Chris. I had self-esteem problems back then.
LOVE ME, DAMN IT!!!!!

Simon loves you.
Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
So, we've got:
"The Sexy Studs and Ugly Cousin Chris." "500 parrots called Jim" (I should point out that, unlike Chris above, no-one in our band was actually called "Jim") and "Imaginary Orgy".
Psychologists would have a field day with those...
Posted by CaptainMike (Member # 709) on :
My band is called 'Deltree Windows' but its just me and the computer because no one wants to play with me. I also wanted to call a band 'The Commie Nazis'

And that's all, folks! Thank you and good night!
Posted by First of Two (Member # 16) on :
No. My band was NOT called "Imaginary ####," It was called "Only Us!"
Because only we would have though of this band: Two french horns, a kazoo, spoons, a washboard, and a lead singer who was a 1/4 note sharp.
We also briefly considered and rejected the band names:
"Red Plastic" "Gnomes of Gnight" (a takeoff on a local band called "Elves of Entropy" "Five Jerks with Syphilis" and "Adolf Hitler's Toe Jam."
Posted by Balaam Xumucane (Member # 419) on :
I was in a band called "IBOPA" and then "Ten In The Swear Jar". We made up record labels and self-published 3 CDs. Could Simon still like us? I mean we did record stuff, but I would hasten to underline that the 'labels' were completely fictional...

So does this that you don't really love me? Does this mean that TSN is lying to me? You know my heart can't take anymore disappointments. Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :

I must ask: which were you?
Posted by First of Two (Member # 16) on :
French Horn.
Posted by Balaam Xumucane (Member # 419) on :
Hmmm... Yeah, I can see that...
Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
"No. My band was NOT called "Imaginary ####,"
Because censoring the word "orgy", which had already appeared twice in this thread (once only a few posts up), will stop children from becoming mass-murdering gay-homosexuals. And republicans.
Posted by Malnurtured Snay (Member # 411) on :
That's interesting, because in the "Halloween" thread, Omega typed 'orgy' ... maybe he's trying to send us a secret message!!!!!!
Posted by First of Two (Member # 16) on :
It was censored because the accursed foul computer I was typing on has Net Nanny, because I'm typing at work... I'm a children's librarian, remember?
Posted by Malnurtured Snay (Member # 411) on :
Yes, because we're all supposed to know when you're posting at your work computer as opposed to at your home computer?
Actually, I didn't know you were a children's librarian. I didn't know librarians got that categorized.
Posted by First of Two (Member # 16) on :
Any post from me that originates before 6:00 PM is from work.
SHH! Don't tell. I'm not supposed to be doing this.
And you must be the only non-newbie who doesn't know my occupation.
Posted by Malnurtured Snay (Member # 411) on :
I knew you were a librarian. I did not know you were a children's librarian.
Posted by Tahna Los (Member # 33) on :
Ditto.
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
Well, I knew... Ha-ha!
I didn't know that Net Nanny and such could actually censor the things you type in, though...
Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
Seems a bit strange. I mean, if a kid knows the word orgy, then stopping him from typing it is hardly going to make the information jump out of his brain.
And "orgy"? What other words are censored?
Posted by OnToMars (Member # 621) on :
Hehe. My friend back home has NetNanny on his computer by will of his father. He couldn't look up the band "Orgy" on Napster.
Posted by First of Two (Member # 16) on :
If you didn't know, you weren't listening.
Net Nanny and all programs like it are flawed attempts at censorship by various organizations.
Personally, I'm against them entirely when it comes to public access (I find censorship insulting -- it's Them saying 'you're too stupid to make this decision, we'll decide for you')... but it's better we have them than risk getting sued by some overzealous Fundie-minded parent... and it's easier than policing the computers ourself, to keep the teenage boys out of the nudie sites.
Posted by Tahna Los (Member # 33) on :
That's about the only reason one should have this.
I recently revisited my old Library to check on a book. And there are two boys sitting there in the Children's section, looking at those nudie sites. The Library Attendent is in plain view and she is basically doing _nothing_ about it.
So I told her.
She shooed the kids off the computer and shut down the browser. But what she should have done is kick the kids out of the Library or at least done something else because a few minutes later, those two same kids are in the REFERENCE section looking at, you guessed it.....
Posted by First of Two (Member # 16) on :
I have an 18-inch wooden ruler with a metal edge named "Mr. Pain" that I keep for just that sort of person.
Let me tell you a story from today...
This lady brought in her 5-year old daughter and her daughter's friend.
They wanted to use the computer. But the Board says the computers are for 6 and up, no exceptions, sorry.
So when I inform them of this, the daughter screws up this horrible face, and says "you're MEAN! I HATE you!"
But it gets worse.. as mommy fails totally to correct THAT behavior, choosing rather to wander around poking at books, her little angel mutters loudly, at least three times, "I'm gonna strangle your neck."
A FIVE-YEAR-OLD!
Mom, meanwhile, tries to convince me to let them on if she sits there and watches them, and I'm thinking "Yeah, I'm gonna let too-young kids with an OBVIOUS lack of discipline play with thousands of dollars' worth of electronics. Right."
So I say no, and they leave.
Humans.
Posted by Mojo Jojo (Member # 256) on :
*Certain* parents need to start EDUCATING their children again, and take some damned responsibility.
*Certain* other people need to realise that a lack of said education and discipline is what causes children to turn into out-of-control antisocial fruitcakes.
It's the usual story: they suffer from ADHD, play/watch too many violent games/TV shows (which aren't meant to be played or watched by young - impressionable - minors in the first place), etc. Is there some kind of mass-psychosis going on, or are most parents simply dumbfucks these days?
Anyway. How did we go from interesting personal details about FoT, to rant about large social problem?

I think we were discussing his job and how they have a word censor program operating and then people started to share their experience and that's how we got to where we are.
You know, we should start a separate thread for that stuff - I just burst out laughing at how bad that little girl was and how USELESS! the mother was. It would be so funny to hear about everyone's experiences and view on the subject.
Now back to the core subject of this thread - First of Two!
HEHE!
Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
It's probably the fabled British reserve (heh), but I can't imagine anyone looking up porn on a library computer. It'd be, well, embarrasing. People wouldn't be embarassed. They'd be laughing at you.
