Great movie

baldsteve (June 23, 2009)

I prefer the outlaw josie wales. Yours was a good pick too

MN_punkmaster-skaman (June 23, 2009)

High Plains Drifter vs. Pale Rider

baldsteve (June 23, 2009)

damn.

High Plains Drifer

MN_punkmaster-skaman (June 23, 2009)

That's my pick as well, especially since it was an American spaghetti western plot wise. But that doesn't mean his character in Pale Rider wasn't bad either.

Gary_Busey (June 23, 2009)

You are actually one of two people and one of them really isn't Gary Busey

shrapnel (June 23, 2009)

At least it's better than the Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman ones

MN_punkmaster-skaman (June 23, 2009)

The Matt Freeman ones suck now. Tim Armstrong is ok. There's als Lars Frederiksen and whoever the drummer is.

Speaking of which.... FRIDAY. You there?

shrapnel (June 23, 2009)

At the right moments the Tim Armstrong one can be ok

Yeah I will be there, what about you?

MN_punkmaster-skaman (June 23, 2009)

Need to purchase a ticket still and figure out my cash situation. So far it's a yes.

shrapnel (June 23, 2009)

I still need to get my ticket also
I'm not as stoked as I would usually be, after hearing about the set situations

MN_punkmaster-skaman (June 23, 2009)

Let me guess.... the Riverboat Gamblers, Rancid, and Rise Against in that order. Or are you speaking of what's being played?

shrapnel (June 23, 2009)

The order, and Rancid is only playing 45-50 minute sets, while Rise Against is playing a lot longer

MN_punkmaster-skaman (June 23, 2009)

I'm more stoked on seeing Riverboat Gamblers since I've seen Rancid and Rise Against already. Plus, I don't think Rancid has changed up the set list from what I've heard.

shrapnel (June 23, 2009)

Yeah I suppose, but I think some of my favorites like Old Friend will be left out this time

And I would just rather see Rancid close it down instead of Rise Against

One of my cousins went to the Dropkicks and Offspring show last week, and the Dropkicks opened for the Offspring and he said the Offspring didn't stand a chance after

MN_punkmaster-skaman (June 23, 2009)

I believe it. But last summer when the Bosstones and DKM did a tour, it had to have been the Bosstones closing the night doing the better show.

lintsay (June 23, 2009)

If you're assuming it's either Angie or myself, you're wrong.

MN_punkmaster-skaman (June 23, 2009)

DAMNIT!!! Now I'm even more depressed with this and my last.fm library and playlist crashing.

Gary_Busey (June 23, 2009)

I apologize, there was a slight malfunction with my keyboard, I'm not savvy with these yet.

Preston (June 23, 2009)

Loved you in Quigly.

scientistrock (June 23, 2009)

I'm about one quarter into disc two and not even close to bored yet.

That one that "it" posted earlier in the At the drive-in article gave me a laugh

MN_punkmaster-skaman (June 23, 2009)

I love the out takes of the Hunter Thompson documentary where he's telling them how to direct him.

sugarfull (June 23, 2009)

Wow, this is brilliant!

Damnit dlangl4!! You screwed me up and I posted on the wrong thread!!

Wentz_Equals_Death (June 23, 2009)

i hear it is up 59% in popularity this week, but that's probably just internet chatter

Oh fuck, that was supposed to go in the microsoft word document I have saved to my desktop with all of the punknews meme's fuck

'atta boy

thegimper (June 23, 2009)

Dandy Warhols coming to Oklahoma City on the 5th. Stoked. Finally a band I really like isn't making me drive 3 hours to go see them. (OMG. HES STOKED ABOUT A NONSKA BAND? LOL)

Also, thanks to everyone who recommended an album(s) to me. I made a list of all of 'em and plan to give them each a listen.

MN_punkmaster-skaman (June 23, 2009)

dlangl4 , are we the same person since we fucked up on the same thing?

3+ Replies

dlangl4 (June 23, 2009)

I didn't know how to tell you in person, since our personalities can't both be active at the same time, but the short answer is yes. The long answer is that you're from timeline 1, and I'm from timeline 2. Somehow things got mixed up and now we have to share. Like indians. Sharing used to be natural but it will never be that way again. I hope we can do it, despite our capitalistic tendencies. It's hard to go against the grain. Goodluck, MN_punkmaster-skaman and dlangl4.

MN_punkmaster-skaman (June 23, 2009)

dlanl4_master?

thegimper (June 23, 2009)

Skaman is the most powerful part of your name.

shrapnel (June 23, 2009)

did you catch the website I sent to you the other night?

MN_punkmaster-skaman (June 23, 2009)

You missed my important question on Gazing this weekend.

dlangl4 (June 23, 2009)

You should see his costume. It's skawesome.

MN_punkmaster-skaman (June 23, 2009)

I'm actually from North Skakota

dlangl4 (June 23, 2009)

That's hilarious.

MN_punkmaster-skaman (June 23, 2009)

That show can do no wrong, especially the one where he fakes his death. "Is that Rod Stewart over there?" *random old guy*

dlangl4 (June 23, 2009)

My computer isn't capable of making all of the symbols necessary to type out our name. But yes, that works as a shortened version. We can ask the council for an ascii replacement the next time they rebrief us on our mission. I'll ask them for a new codename. I was thinking of "Fuxing up the suck," like it? It's crazy to realize that every time I wake up, I never know if I'm going to have your super power or mine. I'm not gonna lie, earth bending is awesome. But being able to summon the dead is even cooler, so I'm not picky. I just go with whatever I get for that day.

MN_punkmaster-skaman (June 23, 2009)

"Fuxing up the suck" is one of the best ideas I've ever read on this site. So are we pretty much like Henchmen 21 and 24 on the Venture Brothers? That's the kind of vibe I'm sensing right now.

dlangl4 (June 23, 2009)

Yeah yeah yeah. I can't explain it, but our lives are somehow connected to that show. This will all make sense to you one day, when you REALIZE that you're not really there right now.

MN_punkmaster-skaman (June 23, 2009)

Wait... are going the Blade Runner route with us being droids or the Scientology route with Xenu giving us fake memories?

dlangl4 (June 23, 2009)

It's kind of hard to explain. It's mostly like the A Fire Upon the Deep Route. We have a specific purpose with specific memories implanted in us so that we'll accomplish that purpose. But the memories are real, they just aren't ours. They belonged to someone else. Maybe multiple people. But we had to have them in order to do what we need to do. I can't explain anything else without putting the space time flow on edge. I could but I'm scared of what will happen. It's so fucked up already that I don't want to put either of us at risk. I'm sure you understand. Just whatever you do, do NOT listen to the new Big D. I heard it sucks and but more importantly, the entire CD has a tone on it that humans can't hear, but you and dogs and shit can. If you listen to you, you pretty much set everything in motion, and I don't think you or I am fully trained to handle what happens

MN_punkmaster-skaman (June 23, 2009)

I've heard 5 of their new songs on their myspace a month ago. Does that count?

baldsteve (June 23, 2009)

Do the dead do your bidding or just show up to complain?

dlangl4 (June 23, 2009)

Are you joking? They shoot lasers from their fucking nazi Rocketeer jetpacks. They're not evil though, not the holocaust kind of nazi. They don't even have to do my bidding. They know exactly what their job is: scam old people into pyramid schemes and to sell trendy products to inner city youth while riding around on dragons who are fucked up on heroin. I don't even try to have conversations with them because they can hardly stop. The cops can’t do shit to them. Believe me, I've seen them try.

But to answer your question, yes, they do our bidding. Audrey Hepburn is french kissing me as we speak, and I have a full team of ex dancers doing Thriller in my living room. Life can be great sometimes.

baldsteve (June 23, 2009)

I never ever joke.

It's great if you like making out with corpses. I can't imagine she took good care of her upstairs or downstairs in that box.

At least they are doing Thriller and not something shitty like Footloose.

baldsteve (June 23, 2009)

It's like me and Scotty Sandwich. He is me from the future but I am older...what does this mean? I don't know either.
