JawbreakerSucks (June 25, 2009)

Hey, everybody! I'm Blake Schwarzen. and I am so stupid. I'm the dumbest person on the planet. Durr, durrr, my brain is so tiny and small, I can't even tie my own shoes. Oops, I just pooped my pants. I don't even know what a toilet is. Just about the only thing I do know is that my name is Blake Schwarzen., and my Internet password is "sluttering5489."

Look at my stupid, lumpy face and my badger-butt ugly hair. Doesn't it just make you want to punch me? You could. I'm such an idiot, I can't even figure out how to not get punched. I just sit around all day typing quietly on my keyboard 'cause I'm El Ugly Nerdo Supremo Numero Uno.

Time to sing my stupid song! Doy, da-doy doy, doy, da-doy doy-oh, no, I forgot the rest of the words because I'm a big dick-munch whose breath reeks like rotten mashed potatoes and sewage, but worse.

I like Hitler!

Here are some more facts about me, Blake Schwarzen.: I eat cow turds, I'm going to die a virgin, nobody likes me, and I have a detailed plan to assassinate the president of the United States that I keep in my house. Oh, and I'm probably the biggest, stupidest moron in all of North America. Maybe even the world. They'd make me King Moron, except I'd probably try and stick the crown up my butt!

aSJGUA$*9wrg9j† afdasf ag =a=a===== Whoops! Forgot how to type for a second there and just started banging my empty, fat head against the keyboard. I forget things like that all the time-how to type, how to use soap to wash my smelly armpits, people's birthdays. Probably because I'm soooooo stupid!

Well, I'm all done writing another one of my retarded Internet comments. Better get on with the rest of my stupid day of being dumb! I suck so bad.

wonton (June 25, 2009)

Worst troll ever.

JawbreakerSucks (June 25, 2009)

You sure are! Leave me alone.

Preston (June 25, 2009)

worse than troll 2?

dlangl4 (June 25, 2009)

The shark death scenes on the Funniest Movie Death Scenes 1.5 were fucking hilarious.

Preston (June 25, 2009)

They're eating her...Then they're going to eat me...Nooooo!!

That makes me smile every time I think about it.

Preston (June 25, 2009)

Oh wait its:

Ohh My Gooodddd!

thatsyouth (June 25, 2009)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NMGsRmZTFQ

perfect.

Preston (June 25, 2009)

Shit like that is great. I have to do more stuff like it...and this:

Preston (June 25, 2009)

pleased to meet you. I'm preston.

abracadaver (June 25, 2009)

You need new material.

nocigar (June 25, 2009)

your posts are so fucking predictable, we don't even read past the first word or two. get over it.

Tom_Delonge (June 25, 2009)

Blake Schwarzenbach is a circular narrative in many ways, where he kind of sums up the human race in a time capsule

abracadaver (June 25, 2009)

Now this is a troll I can get behind.

thepopeofchili-town (June 25, 2009)

Wow, someone knows how to read the Onion.

MilesQToast (June 25, 2009)

see this approach makes you seem loony more than it casts aspersions on blake. maybe he deserves it, I don't know. But it's like PETA. When I hear anything from PETA it just makes me want to go saw a sea turtle in half with a chainsaw.

Hasheesh (June 25, 2009)

You're an Onion thief.

wonton (June 25, 2009)

This sounds bitchin'. i wish i could go.

abracadaver (June 25, 2009)

This looks amazing. Too bad school prevents me from going to every awesome thing ever.

Preston (June 25, 2009)

Robocop 3 is awesome band name. Not an awesome movie.

This is an awesome lineup.

Wentz_Equals_Death (June 25, 2009)

i used to live walking distance from this area, woulda been fun

abracadaver (June 25, 2009)

What bands would you see if you could go to this? For me, the list would probably be:

Andrew Jackson Jihad
Cheap Girls
Dead To Me
Grbass Charlestons
Ninja Gun
O Pioneers!!!
Off With Their Heads
Re-Volts
Success!
The Arrivals
Tiltwheel
Toys That Kill

Blackjaw_x (June 25, 2009)

mikexdude (June 25, 2009)

That and Madison Bloodbath and Tenement.

lintsay (June 25, 2009)

Yay Tenement!

lintsay (June 25, 2009)

Tenement
Dukes of Hillsborough
Andrew Jackson Jihad
Breaker Breaker One Niner
Cheap Girls
Dead To Me
Grabass Charlesons
Ninja Gun
O Pioneers!!!
Off With Their Heads
Re-Volts
Success! (!)
Tiltwheel

Nameless (June 25, 2009)

And Dan Padilla and this would pretty much be my list. And I've been wanting to see Breaker Breaker One Niner for a while now.

Nameless (June 25, 2009)

*Add. That should really be add.

Three hours of sleep does me no good.

Bonerface (June 26, 2009)

I think Dan Padilla would be the band I'd be most stoked on.

And Tiltwheel, but that's pretty much the same band.

Hey_ska (June 25, 2009)

I've seen AJJ like 3 times, for free. No big deal.

AZ isn't all bad I guess.

RAMBUNCTOID (June 25, 2009)

you son of a bitch

northdakotaKILLS (June 25, 2009)

i dont know who comes up with worse band names, "bro" straight edge hardcore bands or bike punk folk punk shit.

John Cougar Concentration Camp? thats fucking terrible.

Preston (June 25, 2009)

i like that name.

Wentz_Equals_Death (June 25, 2009)

you probably have a bike, dick

northdakotaKILLS (June 25, 2009)

of course i do, and i love riding bike.

Preston (June 25, 2009)

stop putting words in my mouth. I hate bikes.

kneel (June 25, 2009)

you're either trolling or a moron.

this band has been around since the mid-nineties, and are not folk punk.

they are pretty damn fun too.

Wentz_Equals_Death (June 25, 2009)

he's a trollon! everybody panic!

northdakotaKILLS (June 25, 2009)

i'm not trolling, i've been visiting this site for years now.

i didnt say they are folk punk, and i didn't specify when they started being a band.

i just said, stupid fucking name. i dont appreciate anything incorporating concentration camp. call me a prude or i dont like to have "damn fun", but i think thats lame.

i'm sure they're just ok.

Preston (June 25, 2009)

What about Mensa's summer outdoors program.

northdakotaKILLS (June 25, 2009)

ha, i guess i have no feelings towards that i suppose.

different things offend different people. i dont like holocaust band names. my friends started a band called "night of broken glass". i thought that was over the top and did not like it.

on the other hand, i could see how some could get offended at "The JonBenet", i didn't personally. but i see where they're coming from.

Preston (June 25, 2009)

I thought seriously about getting a JonBenet Ramsey tattoo.

badbrain (June 25, 2009)

Yeah, life is just too short to spend it taking offense to things. I can't think of a single thing that has ever or could ever "offend" me, so I have a hard time understanding the mindset of people who do take offense to things.

If someone named their band "Shitting In Ryan's Dead Grandmother's Mouth" I wouldn't care and I'd probably go check them out.

- Ryan

baldsteve (June 25, 2009)

I'll email you a hug a little later.

Preston (June 25, 2009)

I'll shit in your dead grandmother's mouth later.

dlangl4 (June 25, 2009)

This is how I feel, except for a different reason. I don't see any practical reason to be offended by anything. So many different people are offended by so many different things, that if all of those things were banned for being offensive, we'd have absolutely nothing to do.

I can't imagine anything that would offend me either. I don't see how anyone could be offended by anything, or why.

badbrain (June 25, 2009)

lighten up

red_eye_inc (June 25, 2009)

I own a record by that band and I firmly feel that it's a stupid name.

abracadaver (June 25, 2009)

Fuck you too, pal. From the one song I've heard by them (thanks, Steve!) they're pretty awesome.

kneel (June 25, 2009)

i am seriously considering flying out to san diego for this. it looks awesome and i love that damn town.

who from .org is going? i'd like to go but i'd really rather not go 'alone' and would at least rather go with someone i know from on here. maybe split a hotel room or something.

mikexdude (June 25, 2009)

Buy me a ticket and drive me to the airport and I'll go. Oh and pay for the hotel too.

Yeah... I know...

baldsteve (June 25, 2009)

I want to, I just don't know if I can pull it off right now

kneel (June 25, 2009)

lets do it dude. unlimited tacos (no dinosaurs), unlimited sunshine, unlimited cheap mexican beer, and nearly unlimited beards.

baldsteve (June 25, 2009)

If by 'do it dude' you mean pack up and move the fuck there permanently then I'm totally up for it.

abracadaver (June 25, 2009)

If I can convince my parents I need to drive down to SD for Labor Day weekend to "visit colleges," perhaps I can pull it off.

LinoleumMagazine (June 25, 2009)

I'm gonna try. My best friend still lives in my old apt that is literally a 10 minute walk to two of the venues and a 20 minute walk to the other two.

Of course this comes to SD a year after I move.

the_other_scott (June 26, 2009)

San Diego is so boring. I have a lot of friends that live there, too. Some of my best friends but I just can' get behind it.

LinoleumMagazine (June 26, 2009)

The beach, surfing, snorkeling, The Casbah, the best Mexican food ever, the best weather ever, The Casbah (worth listing twice), The Che Cafe, The club that used to be the Zombie Lounge (place is smaller than my living room, yet they get bands like The Business to play there), Balboa Park, The San Diego Zoo, baseball games downtown (super fucking good times), M-theory record store and the hottest chicks around.

Aside from outrageous rent and home prices, San Diego can't be beat.

Goddamn I gotta get back there...

the_other_scott (June 26, 2009)

you can find all of that plus more in LA except that Dodger Stadium is leagues better than Petco and the San Diego Zoo is obviously the best zoo in the world. LA Zoo isn't bad either.

LinoleumMagazine (June 26, 2009)

The traffic in LA is a deal-breaker. I really love LA and I always have a blast when I go there, but I feel like SD almost has a small town vibe in a big city and it at least looks like it has way less polution.

and I prefer the beaches in SD. Snorkeling with the Leapard sharks by the reef at La Jolla shores was one of my favorite things ever.

and the Casbah smokes any club i've been to in LA... and I've think I've been to most of 'em.

Nameless (June 25, 2009)

Holy crap! This looks awesome!

lintsay (June 25, 2009)

Old news. I really really really want to go to this. Hopefully I can not suck at my job long enough to be able to afford it. Such a good line up holy crap.

EddieAirplanes if you are joining Lorrin for this for whatever reason, you let me know young man.

abracadaver (June 25, 2009)

I love that Influents song you sent me. Is the rest of that album worth checking out?

baldsteve (June 25, 2009)

everything they have is worth checking out.

abracadaver (June 25, 2009)

Well that's as good of an endorsement as I need.

lintsay (June 25, 2009)

No one questions him ever.
I'll send you more tonight if you're interested.

baldsteve (June 25, 2009)

not true.

lintsay (June 25, 2009)

But Jason songs >>>> Greg songs.

baldsteve (June 25, 2009)

agreed

lintsay (June 25, 2009)

Good. Greg's a knob.

abracadaver (June 25, 2009)

Is the one you sent me Jason or Greg?

lintsay (June 25, 2009)

Jason. Though, for the record, my favorite song of theirs is both of them.

deadelectromix (June 25, 2009)

Fuck mixing.
FUCK IT

Preston (June 25, 2009)

The drinks aren't going to make themselves.

abracadaver (June 25, 2009)

"Goodbye to Oakland" is the best song on Dream Homes. HMs: Three to the Beach, Landlocked.

robyourselfblind (June 25, 2009)

thanks again for sending me that. Record rules, been listening to it all day.

badbrain (June 25, 2009)

I'd never be able to afford this and Fest in the same year, it'd have to be one or the other. Not just from a financial standpoint but I don't even think I have the vacation days from work available to do both

abracadaver (June 25, 2009)

If the rumors about this year's Fest lineup are true, this might actually be better.

Wentz_Equals_Death (June 25, 2009)

$$$ PARAMORE $$$

badbrain (June 25, 2009)

yeah what the hell is with that? i'm still hoping that's just a meme type joke on the fest boards

Preston (June 25, 2009)

Me either. Have you ever gone to that Best Friends Day Fest? I see it's in your area. I was contemplating going to that in addition to the Fest.

badbrain (June 25, 2009)

yeah I'm going to that this year too since it's only a 90 minute drive, no airfare to worry about

Blackjaw_x (June 25, 2009)

#2 of the day.

http://www.myspace.com/thetransit

abracadaver (June 25, 2009)

But do they sound like Hot Water Music, Polar Bear Club, and Small Brown Bike?!?

Blackjaw_x (June 25, 2009)

More like Dear Landlord. ;)

Preston (June 25, 2009)

Don't they have drugs in Canada?

Or at least bowling leagues?

Blackjaw_x (June 25, 2009)

Both... why?

Preston (June 25, 2009)

I'll be officiating my brother's wedding then.

hhrules (June 25, 2009)

Did Jon Cougar Concentration Camp get back together or something?

kneel (June 25, 2009)

according to their wikipedia page they are apparently broken up but play occasional shows in san diego

hhrules (June 25, 2009)

Oh okay

Whats_Wrong_With_The_Kids (June 25, 2009)

this is going to be so much fun. most of these shows are going to be right around the corner from my house.

abracadaver (June 25, 2009)

Dear Landlord is too addictive.

Scarysmurf (June 25, 2009)

So much this.

lintsay (June 25, 2009)

Yep.

abracadaver (June 25, 2009)

No, seriously, I need to stop listening to them. Last.fm tells me I've listened to them 111 times since last night. That's unhealthy.

Scarysmurf (June 25, 2009)

I really cannot remember the last time I was this excited about a new album.

baldsteve (June 25, 2009)

No, unhealthy is listening to the same song 17 times in a row.

abracadaver (June 25, 2009)

Yeah, I've done this on quite a few occasions as well.

Preston (June 25, 2009)

Especially if that song is "It's My Party (I Can Cry If I Want To)" while cutting yourself and putting on lipstick.

baldsteve (June 25, 2009)

Who sent YOU that video? That was supposed to be private.

abracadaver (June 25, 2009)

Wait a minute. You were mocking me, weren't you?

Scarysmurf (June 25, 2009)

Hahahahah.
Goodbye to Oakland...

abracadaver (June 25, 2009)

Shut up. It's a great song. And it's under a minute. :(

Scarysmurf (June 25, 2009)

lulz.
Its okay, Ive listened to the song Lost Cause an absurd amount.

baldsteve (June 25, 2009)

Me? No. way.

ConsumedByMusic (June 25, 2009)

I'm glad they're doing this, bummed i'm moving out of SD in august.

pajammin (June 25, 2009)

Goddamnit. I want to see Rumspringer so bad.

negicore (June 25, 2009)

Saw 'em lastnight, they in fact rule! Might go see 'em Saturday as well....

thirtyseconds (June 25, 2009)
