• Boy, that Mayor Curley person sure seems like a dick.
• Especially since we all know the two main characters. I don't.
• me either
• Not intending to be impolite at all, but a handful of snarky remarks between a couple fairly well-known snarkers doesn't really a great FPP make. I mean, I see bigger, meaner, knock-down-drag-out flame wars almost weekly on the Blue, the Green, or the Gray. Admittedly, train-wrecks of this sort are kind of amusing, but it would have much more wow-factor if it were, for example, languagehat and mathowie himself in a flamewar.
• As an addendum, I wonder which pair here on MoFi (should the planets align and the claws come out) would make for interesting flame-war watching...
• WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN BY THAT CHIMAERA?!!! BIGGER?! MEANER?!! KNOCK-DOWN-DRAG-OUTTIER?!!! OH FUCK THIS!!! IT'S ON... YOU... YOU.. GODDA... :)
  
• Debaser's favorite bands all SUCK. And that's not just my opinion, it is tried and true, scientifically provable fact.
• MCT and I actually had a steel cage match scheduled, but he tore his rotator cuff in a warm-up against El Santo Azul and had to pull out. At least that was his story. Jabroni.
• I mean, unless the Venn diagram of his favorite bands interesects in anyway with mine. In that case, it's pure coincidence. :)
• I heard chimaera kills kittens when he listens to shitty music.
• toohep thinks that balms and salves are better than lasers in fighting anal warts!
• It's not me. It's the music. Shitty music can kill poor defenseless kittens on its own. Won't someone think of the kittens?
• I'm glad it got posted because I hadn't seen it and I immediately had to bookmark it for all the band recommendations.
• FYI chimaera.. my current favorite band is: coreyfeldman.info
  
• I'm a liberal, but I think Bush won the elction fair and square. Nirvana was massively overrated, "celebrity skin" by Hole is better than any Nirvana album, and "licensed to ill" is by far the best Beastie Boys album. Those are my opinions that tend to piss people off. Anybody wanna go?
• *grabs metal folding chair* *brandishes it menacingly* *hitches up tights to cover exposed ass crack*
• HawthorneWingo Once thought that refills were complimentary!
• When I was 21, I made my girlfriend at the time get an abortion. The kid was 5 years old.
• Actually, I agree on Licensed to Ill.
• * bonus points if you can discuss Hole solely musical terms -- without basing your argument on your opinion of Courtney Love as a person, whether Kurt was the "voice of a generation", or whether Billy Corgan allegedly writes all her songs (then why are they so so much better than Smashing Pumkins songs?)
• "Celebrity Skin" is a piece of crap, and so are you, dr. j, you bloody fucking wanker! Woo hoo!! Long live Eugenius!
• highlight of past argument on Beastie Boys: OTHER GUY: (scoffing) Licensed to Ill just sounds like 80s music. ME: Beethoven just sounds like 1600s music. What's your point?
• (assuming that is when beethovern lived, but you get the idea anyway)
• Oh, and Licensed to Ill is fun, but Check Your Head is the one. Morons.
• coreyfeldman-dot-info, eh? Them's fightin' words... *gives Debaster the stink-eye* ... and they SUCK!
• Debaster? My typos are cool because I say so.
• "Celebrity Skin" is a piece of crap well, you've won the bonus points! pls visit the coreyfeldman URL above to collect them.
• On purely musical terms, Courtney Love's tendency to trail off every ending note in each line or verse with a "uuuuuuurrrrrhhhh" with a correspondingly painful drop in pitch is pretty poorly executed. "I AAAAAAaaaaaammmmmmmmm........" "Doll PAAAAAAARRRRRRRTTTTZZZZZzzzzzzzz......." At least Kurt could pull it off with style. I think it's because he rarely dropped the half-octave that Courtney seems to manufacture.
• Oh, and Hole SUCKS. Except when melissa auf der maur was in the band. She's cute.
• Kurt's drummer is a better guitar player, singer, and songwriter than Kurt ever was. And MCT--IT'S ON, SUPER BON-BON! WOOOOOOOOO!
• Hey Dr. J, I've got your corey feldman dot com right here -- in my pants! (And it's because Courtney Love's songs sound so much like Kurt's songs that she takes 2nd place in that little contest.)
• Paul's Boutique, bitches.
• That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard!
• Paul's Boutique, bitches. Amen. *passes forty to JoeChip* And at the risk of sounding like I've got an inferiority complex, the last week or so has fully confirmed for me that I am missing nothing by holding onto my five bucks.
• When will peolple learn that the only good music ever written was written before 1600. And don't give me anything of that baroque crap. Mean tempered tuning, what the f****.
• Ah, that was cathartic. And it contained a spelling error too, so I guess it is authentic anger too.
• I would pay $5 to see mathowie and languagehat in a snarkwar. I'd put my money on languagehat.
• Metafilter: yeah, it's just an informed opinion - Good luck with that.
• I'd pay quite a bit more than $5 to see languagehat in a snark war with mathowie...that would be one interesting war of words.
• I like Hole. And worship Melissa Auf der Maur. But Celebrity Skin mostly sucked. One good song. And why settle for languagehat v. mathowie when you could have clavdivs v. thomcatspike? - too bad thomcatspike is so even-tempered.
• BestWorst of the web. I'm moving this away from the front page. And since that particular function is broken, I'd appreciate it if y'all would White-Out this post on your monitors. Thanks. It's purely a symbolic gesture, dammit.
• Well, I whited-out the post on my monitor. Then I scrolled and had to white it out again. Then I scrolled some more and had to white it out again. Now I have white-out all over my monitor and I can only see about an inch on either side. All of my favorite bands suck.
• That's not white-out, it's spooge. Lay off the porn for a day or two and clean your monitor with a damp cloth. sheesh
• Dirigibleman's spooge is opaque?!! Opaque Spooge would BAGNFA something band
• I think 'Ice, Ice Baby' was one of the high points of hip-hop.
• Here is a thing that did not need to be pointed out.
• Not that I am alleging i can do better, but this post is extremely lacking. Seriously- who gives a shit about Metafilter let alone one small argument amongst the many.
• Celebrity Skin was decent, Live Through This rocked. And while I'm a lifelong Ill Communication fan I'm learning to like (and appreciate) Paul's Boutique. Any Beastie fan who hasn't yet should give the new album a listen. Back to the old school sound. And yeah, this thread sucks.
• I'm mostly amazed that it took until 2004 before someone grabbed the user name "spock". I totally should have gone for that one.
• Everything you say is so badly, woefully, wrong. Everything I say is so gracefully, gorgeously, right.
• Surely CSS provides a way to overlay all the posts tracicle wants to delete with the VOID VOID VOID from Bloom County. Surely it does! Because it would be great.
• furiousdork, that would be awesome.
• Auf der Mar's solo album is really bad, though. The lyrics have no poetry the way Love's do. And Hole's Boys on the Radio is a lovely song, especially with jangly guitars and the 3 lines at the end that make you reevaluate the whole thing. Love's new album, America's Sweetheart, is pretty awful, though. Never got past one listen on that one.
• you can all bite my SHINY METAL ASS and suck my SHINY METAL DI...
• If I wnted masturbation, I wouldn't come to mofi. This is a rubbish post, sorry...
• {anti-banana times 9]
• This meta-Meta-flame-war sucks the big one.
• Ah, okay, you guys have convinced me (that this was a really bad post). But I appreciate being alerted to that little spat. Couldn't involve two nicer people. I think I hear authenticity in Hole's music. At least "Live Through This" and "Celebrity Skin".
• it would have much more wow-factor if it were, for example, languagehat and mathowie himself in a flamewar. Waaall, once 'pon a time... *pulls up chair, sits by fire* ...and this was long before there was a MonkeyFilter, in fact before monkeys and men branched off from the great Tree of Primates, mathowie and I got into the Great Primordial Flamewar. I called him names that made planets reverse their spin and pouches drop off of marsupials; he responded with insults that made stars fall from the sky and entire species commit seppuku. Bystanders hid behind banyan trees but were incinerated anyway. The heavens darkened and torrential rains swept away every landmark, leveled hills and valleys, yet the flamewar continued. Then, from nowhere, appeared... a rabbit. A rabbit with a pancake on its head. And we both looked at it, and wept with joy and amazement, and our tears joined the floods from heaven and swept us and the rabbit away, but we kept the rabbit afloat between us, and after forty days and forty nights the rains subsided and the sun shone once more, and we stood shakily up on dry land and released the rabbit and looked at each other and laughed. And since that day I have never called anyone a "fucktard." Now bring me my pipe and slippers, you young whippersnappers.
• Fucktard. Damn the lack of inline images. Damn it to hell!
