haha they had an old guy?

two years older than Gavin Rossdale

all those british bands had one bald guy. radiohead, coldplay, etc

Wow, I always thought that two of the Bush guys were brothers, probably Gavin and the old guy. I don't know why; someone just told me that and it 'felt' true.

You could probably fill an entire thread citing examples of bands following the Law of Mick Mars.

U2's all 51-53 yrs old except larry mullen's like 67 right

You should see the band that Larry Mullen Sr. plays in.

wonder if the old bald british guy is related to the eno effect

I've never heard the other "Street Life" before... I tried to listen to it, but had to stop befofe the end, I just couldn't handle it. The way the singer guy pronounces words is so obnoxious, like he's disgusted by the vowels! Who wants to listen to that?

― Tuomas,

disgusted by vowels: the bryan ferry story

the singer guy

At this point it is kind of amazing how he continues to keep it fresh

and how at age 30-something he engages in the (pretended? genuine?) shock that someone else would like something he doesn't like

otm about bryan ferry tbf

"like he's disgusted by the vowels! " is awesome.

sitcoms you see during the day are actually reruns (this includes if you are watching dvr and it happens to be 9am), they first aired in primetime, which is at night. for example when brooklyn 99 isn't nominated for any daytime emmys next year it won't be a 'snub'. the bernie mac show aired on wednesdays at 9:00pm eastern, 8:00pm central. you might've gleaned this from the writers omission of steve harvey and cedric the entertainer's primetime shows as well. or you might've just actually read the words 'daytime television' and after much thought and consideration arrived at the conclusion he was talking about television that airs during the daytime. daytime, roughly, refers to the period between sunrise and sunset (fun fact: nighttime generally refers to the period between sunset and sunrise). ah but what about during the summer you ask - during the summer due to the tilt of the earth on its axis the northern hemisphere during the months of june-july-august will receive greater exposure to sunlight, seemingly 'lengthening' the day. we have taken measures w/ our clocks to try to manipulate this effect but we still observe time and generally regard 8 or 9 pm as 'nighttime' even though the sun is still 'up' (you may be familiar w/ this cruel fact from yr mother or dungeon mistress making you go to bed even though it's still sunny outside). ah but what is 'the sun' you ask? the sun is a sphere of plasma consisting mainly of hydrogen with some helium and trace amounts of heavier elements. it's that bright shiny ball in the sky outside when you play before dinner time. that light you see (and the heat you feel!) is the result of thermonuclear fusion occurring at the sun's core. don't stare directly at the sun. and learn to fucking read.

you forgot:

ew, mars so overrated, who cares about mars, it's so...normal in comparison

smh @ pluto pity votes

i'm sure uranus is fascinating and everything but it will always get automatically docked a million points for every incidence of "hur hur, uranus" attempted comedy

― lex pretend, Friday, April 25, 2014 3:59 AM

lol

wow

pluto is so over you guys

big fan of lex but I always wonder what in his mind distinguishes comedy from attempted comedy, or "comedy", or attempted "comedy". Especially the times where he uses the quotation marks AND describes it as a failed attempt. What would that even mean? And if you hate all comedy anyway, surely such distinctions are pointless?

Especially the times where he uses the quotation marks AND describes it as a failed attempt.

I looked for those quote marks around "comedy" and didn't see any in lex's post, just in yours.

lex has posted at least twice on this topic iirc

oh god, I must've missed one!

yeah I mean like this:

i enjoy reading ilm threads when they're not being shitted up with five million posts about a completely irrelevant amateur blog or WAY WAY WORSE people desperately trying and completely failing to be "funny"

my 1st thought when I read that was, hang on, nobody tries to be quote-unquote funny, they try to be actually funny and end up at quote-unquote funny (ie unfunny). I don't know why but stuff like that always nags at me, like when people describe something as "sub-x" when they actually mean "about the same as x, which I hate"

what a horribly formed "what a horribly formed 'joke'" joke

nobody's joking

unless you are

was lex kidnapped by a shitty comedian when he was young or somefin

yeah thats the ticket

Quote marks aside, I think lex was correct that Uranus is so intimately associated with Your Anus jokes that whatever votes it got or did not get in that poll were more heavily influenced by that association than by any innate planetary qualities it may have.

sure, aimless

you doubt, but what comes first to your mind when you hear "Uranus"?

What a horribly formed anus.

bingo!

Uranus jokes will never not be hilarious

otm

dunno, feel like Uranus has been hammered pretty hard these last couple of days

along those lines . . .
