Michael Jackson R.I.P.

First, as someone who has talked privately (IM, IRC, PM, smoke signals, HAM radio, whatever) with many of these people, this isn't the first time they are bringing up Michael Jackson's influence on them.

Second, your misconception of what is actually going on cracks me up. You're missing the point so much that I didn't think such separation could be possible in finite-dimensional space.

Third, you probably won't get attacked for being blunt or not sugar-coating things. If you've been reading posts here for as long as you claim, you'll no doubt have noticed that I don't spend much time sugar-coating things, and the disagreements I face tend to be much more about content than presentation. You might also have noticed that people here don't often need to be told what's sugar-coated, or how to respond, or that 'you've written every word as you've heard it (including your own)' - rarely do people write words as nobody heard them, because nrflg blorkton tuichu splort.

(Just to be safe, the above has not been sugar-coated.)

(The first parenthetical statement was not sugar-coated either, for that matter. In fact, none of the below will be sugar-coated unless the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man feels like intervening.)

Finally, it's becoming increasingly hard to not look like a tool when telling Michael Jackson jokes - not because of his death but because *they were beaten to a bloody pulp last fucking millenium and they weren't all that funny to begin with*.

Fuck all has been written here on the joker!


"Such separation could be possible in finite-dimensional space". That, my friend is "toolish".



"If you've been reading posts here for as long as you claim, you'll no doubt have noticed that I don't spend much time sugar-coating things". Correct, although I would swap the word "sugar" with "thesaurus'. Some people need reminding of the way certain posts read.


"Finally, it's becoming increasingly hard to not look like a tool when telling Michael Jackson jokes - not because of his death but because *they were beaten to a bloody pulp last fucking millenium and they weren't all that funny to begin with*". Sorry, wrong, they were funny, and the large amount of new material thats coming out is even funnier!
 
Indeed...

Lol, not always Dodo.
No crime, just most of us Aussies find an expanded vocabulary very "toolish"
 
OK MJ was good at what he did.

However...

This doesn't make him a music genius.

He sold that 1 billion records just because he had a huge industry behind him.

MTV and all that shit puts a powerful spell on many people.

Yes some of his fans would like his music even if he were totally unknown.

But most of them are under the spell and treat him like some god.

And that has nothing to do with his music which isn't THAT good.


Yes i am a purist and i don't give a shit about him revolutionalizing the "music VIDEO" and his strange/disgusting stage "dancing" and holding the balls to make that falsetto scream "uh oh".

All i know is that there are 1000s of more talented musicians in the world who will ever sell only 1/100000 the number of records that MJ sold.

There was a MJ themed radio show yesterday here in which the DJ was all about MJs pure musician genius and i listened to some songs and for the life of me and my family i couldn't find a bit of genius in any of them...



Maybe that's because i am not under that spell...
And no i am not only a metalhead.
I listen to classical (Bach, Wagner), movie soundtracks (Morricone, Silvestri, Poledouris), electronic music (Jarre), classic rock (Hendrix, Pink Floyd), so i can judge what is good, bad, or mediocre.


(and don't get me wrong - i think that some of his songs are actually good... just not great)

Too Fucking Shae! Couldnt agree more.

Jeff, most of your posts I recognize for their genius and chuckle at their wit, but this one genuinely cracked me up :lol:
 
Either way, like MJ or not, you guys are just flaming some thread. Why even bother posting? Are there not any other threads you can post in? Go start a Dimebag thread and I'll come over and flame how I think Pantera is soley responsible for Nu-metal.

The point being, you guys (SCSH, and J) are just a couple of "Flamers" in more than one sense of the word.

Grow up and have some fucking "class".
 
I know its bad taste and i do/did respect MJ but this is tooooo funny

Okay, I admit it... I read too many books as a child, and know how to use several words greater than five letters in length. Unfortunately, I don't own a thesaurus, as they are all woefully lacking in synonyms for 'synonym', but I make up for that by throwing in math jokes when syntactical prestidigitation is inadequate. Hopefully, though, we can convince you that (despite your geographical handicap) you can still grow up to understand what grownups say.
