The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

[King Richard]

I just looked up Mariah Carey and she has sold more records than the Rolling Stones. How is that possible? I don't know if I've ever heard a single one of her songs. What the fuck.

No way man, that's like saying you've never seen the sun before. You couldn't go anywhere in the 90's without one of her songs playing somewhere, whether it be the grocery store, mall, McDonalds, etc. I bet you've heard a handful of her songs but didn't realize who it was.

Btw, she's looking damn good in that picture above. I remember back in the day I wanted to fuck the shit out of her. good god was she hot

 

[The Ozzman]

There were people in junior high I knew who thought she was ugly at that time. I thought they were in crack. She looks amazing in that picture. Jesus, countdown to boner time would be inevitable with her..

Also, WAIF is younger than we are, so there's a chance he never heard her songs. There are people around who don't know that Beyonce got her start with Destiny's Child, for example.

 

[SentinelSlain]

This is all very unmetal and queer. She's not that hot in the grand scheme of things anyway.

 

[Mort Divine]

You're gay.

 

[SentinelSlain]

You're a gay pedo.

 

[Dak]

coffee, hot tea, and diet soda

Cut out the diet soda. Artificial sweetners are working against you.

Okay, this is almost definitely true, but that's part of my point. The Stones I can identify, more or less. Mariah Carey I can't. I should mention, I also have no idea what Madonna sounds like either. The point is, bands like The Rolling Stones and AC/DC and Floyd and stuff have very recognizable sounds and a huge influence, and yet Madonna and Mariah carey have outsold them all and I have no idea what they sound like. That strikes me as weird.

I vaguely knew that...
I'm sure I did hear her songs, but I can't identify them.

 

[SentinelSlain]

It's all a load of shite anyway. Sorry for stating the obvious.

 

[Blind Guardian]

I couldn't recall any of her songs either. Checking them out on youtube it's striking how bland they are, especially if you consider what a giant star she is. Britney Spears was shit too, but at least her songs got stuck in your head.

Cool. So all I can drink is water

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Diet soda is gay as fuck anyway. You will feel much more heterosexual not drinking such bullshit.

 

[Dak]

Cool. So all I can drink is water

Coffee is the shit!

 

[The Ozzman]

Man, the only pop I drink anymore is diet. Guess I'll have to stop drinking it now..

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Coffee is the shit!

[zabu of nΩd]

lol you said "pop"

 

[SentinelSlain]

Fizzy pop is not sufficient refreshment for whole day in the summer. That's what my history teacher told me when I fainted in the dinner queue on lunchtime about 5 years ago. In before I get called gay for fainting.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Oh i'll call you gay anytime, but not for fainting
