Oh man, just from the pictures on the website i've come to the realization that i must get my hands on some!! if not in the States then definatly while i'm in England over the summer!

@the hook-up debaters: i made my assumption based on the fact that larocque is a native english speaker from the united states, and despite a certain tendency to capitalize random words from time to time, he's probably well aware of the colloquial use of turns of phrase. "to hook up with" might indeed mean "to have occasional sex with", but it's also used as a synonym of "to hang out with". i already have non-occasional (systematic?) sex with someone, so it'd have been boring to interpret the question that way. it was, however, extremely clever of larocque to leave the other interpretation open for those eager to flirt, if he in fact did so intentionally.

Actually, my first interpretation was the sexual one. That's the more common usage of the phrase, but mostly among young people, and considering that LaRocque...is not, I'm not sure which he meant. And of course he hasn't clarified. I admit I was startled to read your original response.

blitz are you going to the boltthrower tour next year? I just found out that Nightrage support them on their crusade. great news. but sad that tomas isnt there anymore

well i'd like to go, but i guess the tour places are a bit unlucky for me, unfortunately. The nearest for me to reach would be Essen but I don't know if I can find anyone to go with me. Also I don't like Bolt Thrower and I think that Nightrage without Tompa must suck, but I cannot tell yet.

Worst song - A crappy italian tune called I bambini fanno oh. I want the writer of the song in jail. Now.
Best tour - Enrico Ruggeri
Best live act - I'll make a stand for Rancore, the only upcoming local band I've seriously believed in for a while. Of course it's not the best band evah in a technical sense, but they are going to grow and grow a lot.
Most overhyped band - Rammstein, unfortunately. I do like Rosenrot, but it's not that good.
Most underrated band - Eminem, who is not a band but has been pushed down and down since the VMA. Unfair.

Best movie - GoF
Best web site - The Babb Chronicleswww.livejournal.com/users/babb_chronicles

Best drink - That's a hard one. I guess that having Sauternes again after a three-month hiatus was great. I also must have had a bit too many because I cannot remember the exact moment.
