We dislike the Spice Girls, because we have good taste in music. SG music is aimed at kids.
The Monkeys were controlled by the people the assimbled the band, for the TV show. They didn't play or write, but they could both play and write, at least Nesmith could write. Bryce and Heart worte a good bit of their music, but were under orders not to take a stand on anything, or offend anyone. "Last Train to Clarksville" was a war protest song, about a guy going into the army, wanting to see his girl one more time, but the song never mentioned the war.

If Sol's thinking of the song that I'm thinking off, then it's a favourite in clubs over here.
Although at the moment I can't remember what it's called or how it goes.
And you can't simply slag off the Spice Girls because they are a copy of something else. Or for the fact that they don't play or write. That would mean that any song writen and played by someone is automatically good.
Besides, Spice up your Life is a great song to jump up and down to with your mates.

I'm the Board's token Irish character, who will probably end up dead by the middle of the season.
I used to post way more often than I do now -- probably something to do with the 24hour exhaustion that seems to follow me around daily on thirty-seven squirrels legs.
I am currently in the process of making "The Bends" sound kick-ass when coming out of a piano - Just and The Bends are proving a challenge, which I am rising to like a man posessed.
My Charmander would have had a warehouse full o' whupass if only Pokemon had more than 1 save slot (*&^%�"@@::@!) *profane language*
I'm the only one here who can speak Irish. I make it in for my 9 o'clock with about four hours sleep. And supervise 1st year labs.
I try to be nice. I am eminently sarcastic.
I wish this keyboard was newer. Nice dream.

I'm in Missouri, near the Kansas border, in the middle of nowhere at that. I listen to all type of music, I draw, write, and do some online graphics stuff just for the hell of it.

Of course, if it had more than one saved game slot, then everyone would cheat far more than they do now. Besides, Squirtle would flatten Charmander against the tarmac anyway. (My rating system gos on voices. Which means that Psyduck is ahead by a large margin).
And I applaud your ability to speak Irish. Now demonstrate a practical use for it. Outside of Ireland. Or an Irish pub.

Never went up against anything higher than Level 20, and that was after a good few hours continuous play.
And people here wonder why the arse is falling out of the Irish language. It's compulsory in schools until you leave, except for those born outside the country. Yet I smell a Problem: the language has no use even in most parts of the country that are still supposed to speak it a lot (the Gaeltacht areas).
Baloo and Gravie are of Irish descent - I know this because their surname (Dunehew) is yet another fecked-up variant of my name (Donohue), which in turn is a rape of the Kerry original (O'Donoghue).
I just put it in Liam (IRISH NAME!) to highlight how unique I am. And if no-one gives a toss, neither will. That's how democracy works.
On the twist last night. 4 lectures. Three-hour Assembly language lab. Brain hurts.

Gaseous Anomaly: Thanx! I knew that Dunehew was a "mutation" of Donohue, but did not know that it was, in turn derived from an even more archaic form.
There's a lot of Donohues here in America, and I suspect that one branch or other changed the spelling to distance themselves from "those TRAITORS" during the Civil war. I'm not positive which side the Dunehews wanted to distance themselves from, but my Great Grandfather fought for the Indiana Volunteers, so I suppose he sided with the Union. Oddly, of my three other (southern) GGFs, only one fought for the south.

Name-changing to distance yourself from the Blues or Greys? I didn't know that.
It might explain how there are so many variants of Irish names in Mericay ---> O'Mahony (OH-Mah-in-ee) vs. Mahony (Ma-HONE-ee) ---> Donohue (DUN-oh-who) vs. Dunehew (DUN-eh-hew)(I imagine) vs. Donohoe vs. MacDonncha(mine in Gaelic) vs. Donoghue vs. O'{nearly all of the above) vs. Donju(a little known Mexican variant, & Mexico's last Spanish ruler's last name).
My own name got the way it is today because, well, even my Auld Lad doesn't know that one, but there aren't many of us - the only other Donohue's we personally know are our cousins. Surely a good sign.
See if you can find out where your G-G-F was from. Sorry, but what were the years of yer Civil War? Post-1840's and pre-1870's, by any chance?
