Dashboard Confessional genuis?

Yeah, there's a real connection THERE. All the frat-pigfucks who Rufie underage freshmen weekly are "genius."

Actually, it's funny but this reminds me of something I just saw in Carl Sagan's book which I was browsing inspired by my phil. thread at ILE. Did you guys know that Isaac Newton died a virgin ? (W/ women of course)

Really? Explain why, Chris.

1. v.,n. [From the Usenet group alt.folklore.urban] To utter a posting on Usenet designed to attract predictable responses or flames; or, the post itself. Derives from the phrase "trolling for newbies" which in turn comes from mainstream "trolling", a style of fishing in which one trails bait through a likely spot hoping for a bite. The well-constructed troll is a post that induces lots of newbies and flamers to make themselves look even more clueless than they already do, while subtly conveying to the more savvy and experienced that it is in fact a deliberate troll. If you don't fall for the joke, you get to be in on it. See also YHBT. 2. n. An individual who chronically trolls in sense 1; regularly posts specious arguments, flames or personal attacks to a newsgroup, discussion list, or in email for no other purpose than to annoy someone or disrupt a discussion. Trolls are recognizable by the fact that they have no real interest in learning about the topic at hand - they simply want to utter flame bait. Like the ugly creatures they are named after, they exhibit no redeeming characteristics, and as such, they are recognized as a lower form of life on the net, as in, "Oh, ignore him, he's just a troll." Compare kook. 3. n. [Berkeley] Computer lab monitor. A popular campus job for CS students. Duties include helping newbies and ensuring that lab policies are followed. Probably so-called because it involves lurking in dark cavelike corners.

Some people claim that the troll (sense 1) is properly a narrower category than flame bait, that a troll is categorized by containing some assertion that is wrong but not overtly controversial. See also Troll-O-Meter.

The use of `troll' in either sense is a live metaphor that readily produces elaborations and combining forms. For example, one not infrequently sees the warning "Do not feed the troll" as part of a followup to troll postings.

And can't we tell them when they're being told comforting lies? "The Breakfast Club" speaks perfectly to teens by telling them Adults Are The Enemy. "Rambo" speaks perfectly to small-minded Commie haters. That doesn't mean I can't or shouldn't mock the movies.

During. Between the set-closer and the first encore. Beeeeyaaaaaatch

What the singer needs to do is get in a car accident that makes him not-so-pretty, and then listen to Black Flag and Fear for a while, and then write songs about fistfights and guzzling liters of whiskey. And the songs have to be really loud and fast, with a lot of Chuck Berry riffs. Then he'll be ok.

During. Between the set-closer and the first encore. Beeeeyaaaaaatch

Under the stage like Def Leppard? ("It was like Caligula! Mothers and daughters!" -guy in every behind the music)

Who has a worse haircut, Dashboard guy or Jimmy Eat World guy? Its tough to tell.

(PS: it wasn't my friend Chris Ryan who started this topic, like a baited hook for me, so who was borrowing his name? Is this identity theft? Horrors.)

I'll certainly agree with this.

This is awesome.

seeing him tuesday. last time i did was one of the best shows i've ever seen. i've been relistening to all the albums for the last few weeks. the themes are so incredibly trite and at the same time lyrically he does so much more than he needs to there's all kinds of amazingly witty lines, clever turns. it's also like a bizarro world of breakups. it's impossible one person could experience all the breakups and different kinds that he claims to, and then some of the claims he makes are insane. one of my favorite lines: "You will be back someday / And this awkward kiss that tells of other people's lips / Will be of service to giving you away," i mean obv all the emo feels but also if u think about it for a few seconds what exactly is he saying? he is tasting other boys' on her lips?? and it's giving away her secret (that she cheated on him)?? this is obv all impossible - it's like epic fantasy heartbreak.

i had never heard dusk and summer or after the ending before this weekend and i think they figure considerably into taylor swift's songwriting for at least two albums

dusk and summer in particular is a gorgeously-produced and written emo crossover record

alter the ending* lol

love that album. new one coming out next year iirc!
