TB, that's just awful. Apparently he has forgotten that his heavenly Boss is a Jew. Shame on him. What he should have told you was that Jesus died for all & that He loves you & wants you to come home. That He was the true One sent of God and that He desires that Abraham's descendants should be welcome at the table with Him.

Yeah, the LDS people have a number of issues & excluding blacks is just 1 of them. They actually started inviting blacks into their fold in the '60's I believe.

You don't receive invites to LDS family weddings because the ceremonies are held in secret. 1 of the more interesting portions of the ceremony occurs when the groom provides his wife with her "secret" name. This will be a name that only the groom knows, because at the end times when the "saints" are being called into heaven, if the wife has served him well or he deems her worthy, he will call her by her "secret" name so she can enter heaven with him. If not, well.... No wonder LDS couples seem to get along so well.

Monier! Some time has passed since we last exchanged chats. Gundam fan here as well.

Some of the other shows mentioned previously can sometimes be found on Boomerang.

1 of my favorites by him.

Joe Satriani - Surfing with the Alien

I agree with the driving assessment. I was born & raised here & it's embarrassing to admit that in light of the way people drive here. Like when it's raining & especially when it's snowing. It's just awful.

As far as the rudeness issue, I can't really speak to that. I'm not rude but have run into that, only to find they aren't originally from here. Keep in mind though that it's becoming more & more rare to find someone who lives here, who was actually born here. There is a high number of transplants here due to the state offices, OSU, federal offices & the number of business home offices being located here.

Saw Queen twice. They were a kick in concert. In the middle of the show the band members, save for Brian May the lead guitarist, and would proceed to play a 15-20 minute solo. Just awesome stuff.

Robot Chicken, especially the Star Wars spins. What funny stuff. I love the drive-by format. The 1 liners are killers. Nothing says comedy like Santa pulling up next to 3 hookers saying "Ho, Ho, Ho."

Boondocks. Love the Venture Brothers. Interesting spin on the old Johnny Quest series. How can you not like Brock Samson? lol

The anime is what initially drew me in. Bebop, Inuyasha, Bleach. I personally think the anime rocks.

Squidbillies is too painful to watch. Too close to relatives on the ex'es side. Tim & Eric is so stupid, I couldn't subject myself to watching it. Make that ditto for the mayor one as well.

Bela Lugosi's last movie.

You, have awesome taste in music. Eric Johnson & STP amongst others. hats off to you.

Btw, The Cars - "Let's Go".

Benjamin Orr of The Cars. he was the bassist & shared vocals with Ric Ocasek. Here's a link with Mr. Orr singing "Just I What I Needed".

Rush - Distant Early Warning

I was fortunate yrs ago to actually see him do this song in concert. he was a tough act to follow.

The question posed to Jesus by the disciples, in Matthew 24, was actually in 2 parts & so was his answer. Jesus was referring both to the destruction of Jerusalem at the hands of the Romans in 70A.D. & also what we refer to as the end times. So that generation did not pass away before the fall of Jerusalem & experienced many of the horrors described by Jesus. Of course as with many biblical texts, there are many parallels between Jerusalem's destruction & the end times that can be applied to either & I think the destruction of Jerusalem is symbolic or precursor of the destruction yet to come.

Agreed. The thread originator should have considered his statements were "preaching to the choir", so to speak.

Here's another by the same guy on youtube.

"Kill Rock & Roll" by System of a Down

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLcmU0DvB1E&feature=channel_page

I stumbled across this vid on youtube & just busted a gut. It's System of a Down's "Chop Suey" done in legos. The guy who did this is jakekk.

Enjoy!! Feel free to add others, please.

ZZ Top - Got me Under Pressure.

Good luck with that thought. It's tough enough to get participation on a state level thread, let alone find anyone in c-bus that wants to chat. I think it's a matter of numbers. What I mean is the percentage of minglers who actually will participate in the threads is small. If you cruise the forums for any length of time, you'll generally see the same people hanging around. I think most think the "mutual matches" silliness actually works & don't feel the need to dialog with others. It's a shame really because the threads are quite entertaining.

I have attempted to start a couple of c-bus threads & they all died.

If you post I'll respond.

Wow! Someone else who knows who these guys were. I tend to forget that I'm 1 of the older folks prowling these threads & make references that probably make some scratch their collective heads.

And thanks to Cypoet's coaching I am able to post active links. Wish I could go back to correct some earlier posts.
