And it turns out I did suggest IDing shit before adding to the thread. I will point out that, as this is your sandbox, you could always lock the everloving fuck out of the thread.

You are right, it would be a better thread if it were more like the one about guessing the lie: you have to guess the previous obscure reference before adding a new one.  Earn the right to make me feel uncool and out of touch, dammit.

Still, since other people are having fun I will refrain from abusing my awesome powers.

[V-Adore]

Maybe because it's the only way to sing it?

EDIT:  Okay, I will try to explain.  Imagine that there was a song about your field, and it had a catchy, rocking out, rhyming chorus, and that chorus ended with the line "You're one bad-ass fuck*ng neurotransmitter!"  And now imagine how you would sing that song. 

No, no, I understand that the song is totally badass. I'm not questioning that! Even I can respect this badassery! It always confused me more because of the sudden emphasis when the rest of the song is also awesome to yell, especially the part about Benoit Mandelbrot being in heaven when he's dead, which he isn't.

Anyway, to get this back on subject:

Of course I can -- I'm an elf! We're not just fictional devices!

I really like this jacket but the sleeves are much too long.

[Doc]

(even less obscure than my previous two)

That is one damn fine coat you're wearing.

[linnea]

catch a match, a bang bang, a flashing fist of crackerjack, a smack, a lick, a char char, you're all burned out.

Now that's an odd band right there.

Now that's an odd band right there.

I haven't listened to them in a long time, but at last count I had 38 Legendary Pink Dots and Dots-related albums.

Still, since other people are having fun I will refrain from abusing my awesome powers.

Oh abuse your power . . . it's sooooo hot!

If I was a mod (and I made some minor attempts to become one back in the day) I'd abuse the everliving fuck out of my powers.

For wombat's benefit, here's a list of mine:

Oh come on, that was way more than 100 pounds

PCU

Then I ram my ovapositor down your throat and lay my eggs in your chest. But I'm not an alien!

MST3K: The Movie

And hang a calfskin on thy recreant limbs

King John. Act 2 or 3, I think

and his baby brother's playing seek and hide. I did it backwards again, that's 11 out of 10, all he wanted was best 3 out of 5

Colouring Lesson. A band nobody has heard of.

Your just the baby school! I'm the big league chew!

Oh. How stupid of me. That was the sound of chainsaw nunchuks.




You'll pay for this, and I don't mean with money. Unless it's a whole lot of money.

The first two are from the comic Dr. McNinja. The last one is from the Tick comics.

Well, I don't know what the fuck goes on with nested quotes, but what's the deal with Colouring Lesson? I have come to trust your judgement (or judgment) on music. Are they indeed indie pop, as the almight allmusic tells me?

They are rock-reggae. They were active in the late 90's and broke up to work on separate projects* and reformed about 2 years ago. The "Similar artists" on AMG are only similar because they were all on the same label (Fowl, started by Jimi HaHa of Jimmy's Chicken Shack). The front man writes most of the songs with Trevor handling the more reggae-heavy tracks. Dave is all about the lyrics although he's known to care more about clever phrasing and interesting imagery than songs that tell coherent stories.

Samples. Just don't start with My Spot, which is their worst song. Why it's a sample I couldn't tell you.


*Dave Hill, the frontman, left to start the band Fidel which was more rock and had a DJ and an Emmy-winning drummer. Really. As of this writing Fidel is showing as my last-played-song because Last.fm is updating very slowly lately

I will do this as well, then.

:: "OH NO! SOBEK IS TOTALLY THE HUNGER BEAST!"

Basically the big reveal in this week's issue of DC Comics 52. I'm... I'm a huge dork. Sobek is a mutated crocodile man that played some of Captain Marvel's supporting cast for fools and then totally ate one of them at his moment of weakness.

:: "Ducky!" "Get the fuck in!"

The end of the Mr. Show episode "It's Perfectly Understandishable". After the new Dhali Lama, who used to completely be a stoner, defeated the rich fat kid's camp in the Summer Camp Olympics by slitting a fat kid's throat and then winning a rap competition...

Well, the Lama and his best friend are picked up by Jon Cryer and a monkey named Dr. Bologna in a convertable. It's pretty much the funniest thing I have ever seen.

:: "I was born before the Age of Chivalry."

Methos, the four-thousand-year-old badass in "Highlander" completely explaining why he is prepared to chop off an immortal lady's head if she is an evil-type immortal lady.

:: "You thanked Hitler!"

There was a KITH skit about a man who got an award and accidentally thanked Hitler.

...these are some of the many awesome things I enjoy.

[theinevitable]

oh my god, why have I not seen this KITH skit?

I feel like that is one of my greatest fears. that, and that for some reason I'll get mad at someone and use a Racial Slur.
I am not sure why these are my fears.

Do you notice that there is a personal message? If so, I will decide you choose not to respond. (This goes for the rest of you, as V is not the only one to recieve personal notes.)
