I did this and according to it, "Aqualung" by Jethro Tull is the song that tells me most about my mind. I don't get it.

Although I did end up with "We Didn't Start The Fire" by Billy Joel as the song that is how I feel about life, which actually is sort of true.

I've always been more irked by his reversal of gin & tonic to tonic & gin just to make a freakin rhyme.

I cheated.

It was I who sent that. As an experiment. To see if people actually reckon with spam, or just reflexively delete it, unread.

oh i deserve it. i just hate having to go through the annoying process of quoting those then going back just to read what was posted.

So don't read 'em dude. I'll try to make sure that there is nothing of substance in them in the future, though. How's that for a compromise?

I do forget myself sometimes, though, so...apologies beforehand if you miss any of my many useful posts...

i just feel like they're usually snide-ass comments that people are trying to slip in between posts. sure, most of the time it's something stupid or self-depreciating, but i'm a suspicious dude, you know.

I agree with Cotton.

If you're not going to post anything of substance, why bother posting?

Dusty Chalk · **Posted:** Sat Jul 30, 2005 2:53 am

Oh, so now youse all are the self-appointed font-size police?

KISS MY ASS!

Tell that to 90% of the traffic on here.

I didn't mean that it was insubstantial (although that is what I said) -- I mean that it is disposable -- I.E. if you miss it, no loss; but if it was amusing to someone, then I've done my self-appointed job.You can still kiss my ass.Cotton -- don't be so paranoid.

oh dude, c'mon. a good portion of the shit that get's posted on this board has ZERO substance, and is not only unfunny, it's boring.

And yet nobody has explored the frustration potential of the too-light font.

Yea, that small font has been pissing me off for months, too.
