    Do you still "blind buy" CDs?

    I still blind-buy, because there MUST be an element of uncertainty and surprise when you buy a new album... that's the closest we'll come now to buying vinyl lps in the good old early 70s when everything was new and exciting, and you didn't know what in the hell the album you'd just bought would...

    What Metallica Band Member Are YOU?

    Kirk too. I wanted to be Ron McGovney! :grin: There should have been a 'Dave Mustaine' option for those of us who happen to be self-righteous, whiney arseholes. Or would that just make one Lars? :tickled:

    Kobi, what is your secret to making great coffee?

    You, sir, are world famous (at least in metal circles) for your brilliantly-brewed coffee. So, how do you make it? Turkish style? How about a cooking-class, or at least a recipe? :tickled:

    People who abandon metal music

    The tell-tale signs of the "I've outgrown metal" syndrome: - Metal bands who, when asked by interviewers which metal bands they listen to or have been influenced by, list no metal bands... "Oh, I only listen to singer-songwriters, indie, techno, and trip-hop these days..." - The "only metal...

    My kids music video preference

    At least it's Priest and Sabs and not S-Club 7. Well done, Dad! Got ta steer him away from Poison now while you've yer chance, when he's young and impressionable. :yuk: I was a Kiss maniac at 5, although I was more into the monsters staring out of the album cover and the blood 'n fire...

    Why?

    Fucking 'ell. I'm just waiting for someone to blame the U.S. for this- never mind the French- because, of course, EVERYTHING bad that happens is the Americans' fault. That is how irrational people are these days-- with no exaggeration, some people somewhere WILL find a way to link this tragedy...

    20% to 40% of Brits support the war in Iraq

    That's exactly what it is. The guy with a similar name is from NZ, hence my confusion, and my assumption that you were NOT German...

    Are you a metrosexual?

    Magus sez: "Victor, you're just bitter. Would you even pass the test of metrosexuality? If yes, you can go on dissing them." No, I'd fail the test with aplomb. I'm simply too unshaven, slovenly, and prone to speaking in Grunt to pass. The Metrosexual Exam-givers would see the ring of piss...

    20% to 40% of Brits support the war in Iraq

    My Dying Groom is from Germany? I thought he was from New Zealand or summat. >:P And while I don't blame present-day Germans for WWII and its related atrocities- obviously- I can't resist a whack from time to time, in a Fawlty Towers sorta way. I love the Germans, honestly, especially when I'm...

    20% to 40% of Brits support the war in Iraq

    Aww, c'mon, tossing 6 million Jews in th' ovens and the rest of the population standing by and either watching or joining in was just a fluke. They didn't really mean it. :tickled: They're a peace-loving, open-minded, well-adjusted people. Honest. Moustache-Man is pointing to me gram...

    Are you a metrosexual?

    If you're from France or San Francisco, then probably yes. Elsewhere, there's no excuse. :yuk: Men aren't wired to care about grooming and their nails and their hair and if the fucking curtains match the plates. Bring back the days of rugby, beer, fightin', non-talkativeness, and NO...

    20% to 40% of Brits support the war in Iraq

    Who are these people? Do you know anyone who supports the war? Even in places like France or Germany something like 10-15% support it--- who ARE these people, and have you met any of them? Granted, most of youse who post here, especially on the Continent, would oppose the war even if it WERE...

    Bruder Cle is the coolest man in the world.

    I got vaccs for Hep A, typhoid, yellow fever, meningoccous, tetanus-diptheria, measles-mumps-rubella- and varicella, and a couple others the names of which elude me. Some were administered in my arm, the others in me bum/arse/ass/rump/chuck-steak/Lower Andes/soul-shaker/Zulu-Daddy. A long...

    Bruder Cle is the coolest man in the world.

    Not JUST EU nations. Just let me get started on Zimbabwe... :Smug:

    Bruder Cle is the coolest man in the world.

    Bruder Cle drinks Radeberger, Aventinus, Dab, Julius Echter, Warsteiner Dunkel, and Dinkel-Acker; he eats rueladen, sacher-torte, rindfleisch mit apfel, robber-steak, and Schwabisches stewed-fruit. He haunts the terrifying forests of Thuringia and the Harz Mountains. So he IS, in fact, quite...
