Shoulda been the other way around. At least GZ looks like a human. Ever have a good look at Lars?

Aliens are real. I am sure of it....

Whiny ass Ulrich.

Never forgive him for all the Napster garbage.

Oh, what?

He could only afford 3 Jacuzzis instead of 4?

I’m a girl and I think that’s hot as jalapenos.

Shame, shame LOL!

I hadn't listened to them in many moons, really like their sound.

Putting Salma Hayek in a couple of their vids wasn't a bad move either :)

If that moron would have handled it like a businessman instead of the way he did, the music industry would be in FAR better shape today.

Instead, it’s a disaster and it traces back to his ability to think.

She is beautiful.

Too bad some women can’t just admit stuff like that and let it be.

Love Tito.

When he does tour, it’s never around here.

Dammit.

[Salamander]

Yup.

And the world went on to download everything anyway.

Pyrrhic victory, at best.

On one of the music production boards I’m on it is more mindless than DU...well most musicians are libs anyway so no shock...

the global predominant attitude by people MAKING the music that is being Pirated is...are you ready?

“So what? if I can get it, I’ll get it. why should I pay for it.”

This is ALWAYS followed several posts later by the same people complaining that the world doesn’t value music and it sucks that they are losing their arses because no one buys it.

I sewarr to God it’s true.

I have a lot of CDs.
Some of them, I listened to ‘free’ online first and then bought the CD.

If I had *not* listened, I would not have bought.

Common sense says give people a sample and they will buy if it’s good.

I haven’t bought near as many CDs since YouTube got so jerky about pulling videos.

I’m not rich and can’t keep buying musical pigs in pokes.

At least Amazon still provides 30 second samples of songs.

[Norm Lenhart]

Thats exactly where business sense comes in. Had they adopted that model and gotten people used to it out of the gate, the piracy would have been minimized.

I do like you do. check it out online and buy it if it’s good. Then again we have some principles. Well I do at least. Yoy listen to that creepy psuedo tranny in Fishnets ;)

[Salamander]

:-P

[Norm Lenhart]

Well “I” don’t wear fishnets like a woman...I just scream like a schoolgirl around tarantulas in a VERY manly fashion.

There’s a difference ;)

When my husband and I were stationed at NAS Fallon, Nevada, we rented a home for while, outside of town, next friends who had horses. We put our name in for base houses, but had to wait. I was 8 months pregnant and in the nesting stage, so naturally I moved my refrigerator to clean under it and out ran a tarantula bigger than the span of my hand. I ran barefoot in the hot desert sand to my friends house. We fortunately got housing before the baby came. Nevada is beautiful, but the black widows (always Check your shoes before putting them on) scorpions ( my husband was stung by one on the target range) and tarantulas can make s brave man run like a girl.

The pictured tarantula looks just like the variety we had in Haiti. They would grow bigger than the size of an outstretched hand and had a vertical leap of 3-4 feet.

What amused me the most was the male MK's (missionary kids) capturing them as pets. Thank God we had a daughter!

I remember reading a couple years ago that cobra venom could relieve pain. I haven't heard anything else about it since then.

Ahmmm.... botox is a beauty enhancing age destroying serum. women are positively captivated by the use of hydrating serums to reverse aging. They even buy hydrating razors to shave their legs
