I think the video's probably on YT by now. I'll be putting up the pic in the lolz thread in about 2 minutes.

The Jets/Bills game on CBS: Uprising and Resistance in the 1rst quarter. (And given that the game has little or no playoff implications, catching Muse tunes is arguably the best reason to watch it.)

Ditto for a Radio Shack circular from two or three weeks ago... they used the cover artwork for The Resistance in a pic of a cellphone (or maybe it was an MP3 player; I don't remember).

*Are
*you
You know, MMers who only stay in the MM section?
set lists don't count. that's just a bunch of whining. I mean, like a discussion? You know that thing where you discuss a band instead of putting them up on a holy pedestal? I have no problem with you guys thinking "lolz" is funny, but when you go out of your way to insult our humor, then you have some
coming at you. I enjoy the Caption Thread very much; I wouldn't have a problem with "lolz" if you guys toned it down on the rude jokes. A few gay jokes, not really cool but it happens, a few pedo jokes, alright whatever some people find it funny; but when you guys overdo it, it's plain out insulting. -
Hi.
You posted this in a VM on my page: "So you're saying that MMers criticize Muse? I have not seen one post by a legit MMer that has anything negative toward Muse.
Mockery and rude humor have a major difference. Grant it, some things in "Lolz" are giggle-worthy, but for the most part...not so much. I try to be as open-minded as I can at all times, so I can see the general direction of where the humor comes from, but I don't find it funny or original."
Re. the first point: R U serious?!? "Legit" [??] MMers are just as critical of Muse as Banterers, although the latter camp is probably more snarky about it on the whole. Check out any gig thread, where the setlist beef sets in, for ex.
Re. your second point as to humor, that's how I feel about the Banter forum subculture here. A bit too 4Chan-y for my taste. If you have a jones for spoofing off of Muse, you might want to try the caption thread in Other Muse Topics. The humor there is often very lolzy, only they don't bother with actual text superimpositions. (Their hit-and-miss ratio is probably about the same, though.) Also, their takes are strictly single-panel, so there's none of the annoyingly long storylines, point-by-point pop culture parodies, etc. that sometimes pop up in lolz. Different strokes for different folks...?

...he says, using all-caps. Maybe you should breathe into a paper bag for a couple of minutes.
I didn't have an issue with your attitudes towards Muse in that Yorke thread; on the contrary; there was no Muse content/relevance in it, so it was out of place. As for criticizing Muse, that's generally something that MainMusers have no difficulty or problem with, either posting or reading. BTW, what do you think this lolz thread is all about? [usually gentle] mockery of our musical heroes, that's what. Getting back to the Yorke thread, I didn't find the joke funny or original, but rest assured I did get the intended joke... as my post made clear. But whether the joke was funny or not, it still belonged in the Radiohead thread, and that was my main (and unassailable) point.
As for the "pedo" reference and "all of the other sick, twisted humor you keep coming up with," is that a reference to us lolzers collectively, or to me personally? Because, you bright bulb, I wasn't the creator of the so-called pedo lolz.
My bad, I thought I was speaking your language. I can't breathe into a paper bag...the fibers in the bags could get caught in my esophagus and I could choke! Are you implying that I should kill myself? Cyberbully!
...do you get humor? Like real humor, not gay-humor. Not everything here has to be "Muse lolzy" or "srs". There's a thing called humor, perhaps you should invest in some?
So you're saying that MMers criticize Muse? I have not seen one post by a legit MMer that has anything negative toward Muse.

I'm a bright bulb? Thank you
and no, I wasn't referencing only you, but you do have a large participation in it, yes?

Hello dahlin. I decided that we should continue this conversation here.
What I said last:
Dude, you srsly need to calm down we were just having a laugh, because every time "Banterers" try and put input on the MainMuse threads, we're always attacked with "MUSE CAN DO NO WRONG!1111!!!!!!".
I'm a huge fan of Muse, but I understand that they aren't perfect, and sometimes they can be shit because they're freaking human beings. And I don't find it "lolzy" to have Dom and Matt "gay" for each other, Matt being a pedo, and all of the other sick, twisted humor you keep coming up with.
This board is supposed to be about making friends and discussing music, but you lot keep making b33f with the people who disagree with you.
CALMTHEFUCKDOWN!

The only 'factual' argument I have against you is that I've seen no such instances of this supposed 'bullying', otherwise yes, it's just a conflict of interest.
Like someone on the LOLZ thread said, some people (including me) do not think your jokes are particularly funny. If people do, more power to them! But it seems you are being a bit arrogant about the fact that people think a joke was funny, but since you didn't get it it's immediately stupid. I also fail to see what mean-spirited insults you are talking about, save mine.
-
So I take it you have no FACTUAL objections to my post... that you're just peevish from my criticism? For someone so unforgiving for my not taking your "jokes" and mean-spirited insults more lightly (but why should I? You & yours don't seem to be insulting me lightly), you sure don't take criticism well yourself.
Pot/kettle/black, ad nauseum.

Erm, wow
Way to turn something that wasn't really that big of an issue into a target for Banter. You're a fun person, aren't ya? We were just trying to have a little fun, I honestly see no harm in that, it's closed anyway. And cyberbullying? Aren't you being a little drastic?
You're unbelievable arencha.

There's no violation of patient confidentiality when it's anonymous (and maybe somewhat discreet in other respects, as in censoring unique details that might make it possible to identify the patient.) This kind of medical human-interest story even makes the news on a regular basis, as with stories, often with X-rays, of people who improbably survived getting impaled in the head with a length of steel rebar or whatnot. The journal write-up I had in mind would be of the short blurb/humorous anecdote variety, BTW. And there's definitely a number of doctors who keep collections of the oddball cases, and I'd guess that virtually all doctors enjoy gossiping about such cases on occasion. I've seen one such collection myself -- compiled by a radiologist aunt who had a freakshow stash of X-rays she'd quietly collected over the course of her career. And years ago I read online about one doctor (I'm pretty sure he was working in a hospital emergency room at one time, but that doesn't necessarily rule out his being a gastroenterology or proctology resident or what have you) who collected case histories of, er, unusual rectally-inserted objects that got stuck -- and eventually wrote them up (as a general phenomenon) for a journal. (And there's a lot more of those cases out there than you probably think.) Other oddball categories include: objects stuck in vaginas, huge bezoars, all sorts of swallowed objects, penile injuries stemming from kinky misuses of suction pumps, vacuum cleaners, etc., and even kinky, sometimes fatal accidents involving heavy machinery like forklifts. If it's any consolation, I read once that it takes on average about twelve frickin' years to earn a Ph.D. in that field, due to the expense and difficulties (some practical, some political) of accessing dig sites. The doctoral student will select a subject and begin the dig, only to be interrupted by a military coup or civil war or an insurgency of some sort... or they get sickened by a local bug or parasite that sends them back home for medical treatment... perhaps qualifying as an oddball case for some doctor's file!

Maybe he's trying to get warm & fuzzy feelings about the persistent salty taste. But yeah, this is one guy who really shouldn't be doing any more drugs. It's easy to laugh at salanderson, but there's a very good chance he's making some unenviable medical history here, and that his case will be published in a medical journal someday (or written up in an otolaryngology blog or somesuch). Doctors love oddball cases and gossiping -- er, consulting and comparing notes -- about them, so at the very least his story will circulate through the UK medical community...
-
This thread is like the best public-service anti-marijuana advert ever. Good thing salanderson didn't try a balloon fragment; he might've choked to death or succumbed to anaphylactic shock as a result of latex allergy. But seriously... I think altrocker's definitely onto something, but after looking up a few terms in Wiki, my utterly WAG is that what the OPer is tasting is a trace of an alkali metal sulfide, potassium sulfide, left on the streamer by the combustion of potassium nitrate, aka saltpeter, a key component of gunpowder. Wembley-goers, did any of you happen to notice any lilac-colored flames from the streamer cannons? (Lilac is the characteristic color of potassium combustion.) It seems unlikely that the offending substance is potassium nitrate because, its likely combustion aside, that stuff is used and ingested in various ways, from curing meats to being a toothpaste additive. But the product of its combustion is readily soluble in water (or saliva), resulting in potassium bisulfide and potassium hydroxide. And that would probably taste very nasty indeed. What troubles me about salanderson's story is the persistence of the taste; either this is unexpectedly serious (a chemical burn of some sort on his tongue maybe?) or a big wind-up. Another avenue to investigate: they say that most of our sense of taste is actually situated in our sinuses; maybe what's plaguing salanderson is some trace residue lodged in his sinus cavities, and maybe what he needs to be doing is not just swishing various substances in his mouth, but also irrigating his sinuses with a neti pot or inhaling saline water vapor or something. (But don't do anything without a doctor's instruction!) I don't know what the OPer can do to neutralize those compounds, but he might want to mention all this to his doctors when he sees 'em.
