Anybody else seeing the banner adds for Styx tickets and thinking, "Man, I wish I had me some Styx tickets so's I could hear 'em play that rockin' Renegade song."

I didn't think so.

I'm moving this to Conservatory just to be safe and also because I have become mad with power re: the "move" button lately.

Oh, I get it.  You were poking fun.  

I mean, I certainly don't own several Styx albums, on purpose.  

Sheesh.  This is why I still haven't mailed my mix disk.

See, I'm allowed to poke fun, because I too own several Styx albums... on 8-track!

Also, I originally posted it where I did because that was where I saw the Styx banner.  Sorry, I've been facing long nights and impossible odds lately.

I was gonna post that Styx bashing is really lame.  Here's your gun, there's a barrel full of giraffe.  But you sir, made me laugh.

Also, I own all of that lame shit too.  Styx, Journey, Bryan Adams, Meatloaf,  You name it.

Heh: I was sitting in my cube today when all of a sudden I heard a bunch of Asian multilogue coming from the nearby "meeting area." Now, the only place I usually hear this is in dialogue form in the break room at lunch time, since I work for the state, and the state hires more minorities than Nike, it seems (please read no bias into that). This turns out to be a group of consultants or interns or something, they're here for a very short time (week or two).

My boss turns to me - he doesn't read Achewood -- also nobody else was standing there - and says, "What are they talking about? It's all ching long wing kong, I can't understand it."

Anyway, it was close enough to double me over until I could sit back in my cube. I showed him the very strip, and he understood *at what* I was laughing, but not exactly *why.*

Just thought I'd share.

short shameful styx confession:

my sister had 2 (two) lp's on vinyl.  we had no tapes, and *gasp* this was before cd's *.

these albums were: Rick Springfield's Working Class Dog, and Styx's Mr. *****o album.

these albums were the "the bomb" for my fragile little brane at the time, because Casey Casem's voice really freaked me out.  (also, keep in mind the first "album" (tape from a cut out bin) i ever bought was Genesis' ABACAB).

now, the confession:  Looking at the Artwork within the LP, and not really gathering the notion of a "concept rock opera", i kept thinking jail wouldn't really be so bad, what with the cool *****s, AND THE KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN.


ps-
i hope it was Kentucky Fried Chicken.  if not, i'm going to have to find a better analyst.


*(wow.  that's the first time i realized i grew up without cd's.  i think i'm feeling honestly old and for the first time of my life, behind the times.  it took me awhile to deal with people born in the 80's drinking.  the other day i realized that people born in the 90's are driving.  i could cope.  but i grew up before cd's, and now these punk asses are asking me why i don't have an mp3 player.  (i remember john denver on 8track in my dad's beetle.)).

Why does it feel like we've had this conversation? Like a full 20% of a bunch of people on some forum I frequent work for the state. Does this comply with the general statistics?

No, it doesn't. Government benefits rock. 12 paid holidays, 3 weeks vacation, 3 weeks sick leave, all in one year. That rocks.

If you don't own the original, laser-cut vinyl version of Paradise Theater, you ain't shit.

Dammit! The FDA outsources to my company. So we're doing gov't work but only get off for the 6 "real" holidays. But I do get 3 weeks + 1 of personal so I guess it all works out.
