Personal Top Lists & Rankings

Sandra Chase16 said:Alright, here is my definitive ranking of those Christmas cards based on the artists.
1. Vjekoslav Vojo radoicˇic (the one with the Brodic family)
- Vasko Lipovac - sailor and fish (just okay)
- Rudolf labasˇ - look, I’m not usually into angels, but this one looks a bit quirky, so I’ll give it a pass.

The absolute worst is the one by Zlatana Vrkljan—just some plaster collage angel nonsense. Meanwhile, the one by lovrencˇic is tolerable, mostly because it reminds me of those old illustrations from my elementary school textbooks.
And sˇutejev is just pointless to me. What even is that? A pile of gifts or just a heap of junk?
- ?uro The New York Times - mediocre at best
- atacˇ - a semi-nude lady and a guy in a suit; honestly, it isn't half bad.

Something is missing here. I probably haven't had enough beer yet.

That very last word in your post gave you away—you're a woman, and frankly, I am floored. Who else knows this much about beer labels and drinks while sitting down? I tip my hat to you...

Kudos to you!

Who else in the Beer Lovers Society is actually an expert besides aripekke and someone who likes to degustirati Marzen Jezick? Are you guys coming to the meetup on December 10th at 6:00 PM?

If it weren't for the Gang of Four, those guys would've just ended up ripping off stuff from the sixties😁—honestly, without them, they wouldn't have had a clue what to do with themselves.

It's just basic, run-of-the-mill hype.👎

Kudos to you!

Though, I wouldn't say I have much resistance to the sheer volume of it all.😳

Also, does joining the club happen to come with a homebrewing kit?😁

dmj said:Look, Franz Ferdinand might not be "phenomenal," but they’re the kind of band that would've been noticed back in, say, 1979 and remembered as being really solid.

Hmm, I guess that isn't really an argument in their favor—if anything, it's the opposite. 😁

Franz Ferdinand is a total fake from '77, but whatever, they're alright.
And honestly, they aren't that far off from Interpol either; if you look at what separates them from gentlepuma20, they're basically in the same orbit.
I really need to start listening to something actually modern.

Sandra Chase16 said:Do you maybe get homebrewing equipment if you join the club?😁

I thought you already had that...

Since there’s already a motto in his signature and total chaos in his head, it’s high time Zelig puts out a music-themed special issue to soundtrack his constant forum posting.

'1977' performed by Billy Childish & thee Mighty Caesars:

in 1977 i Hopa i go to Heaven ' Cos i been too Long on The dol and i can't work AT All Danger Stranger you Better paint Your faca no Elvis
'Cos I been too long on the dole
And I can't work at all

Danger stranger
You better paint your face
No Elvis, Beatles, or the Rolling Stones
In 1977

...

In 1977
You're on the never never
You think it can't go on forever
But the papers say it's better
I don't care 'cos I'm not all there
No Elvis, Beatles or the Rolling Stones

And then we have this very important numerological sequence...

In 1977
Sod the jubilee
In 1978
In 1979
Stayed in bed
In 1980
In 1981
The toilet don't work
In 1982
In 1983
Here come the police
In 1984

Childish delivered the ultimate cover of The Clash with "We're Selling jeans for The U. S. A." 😍

Kevin Chavez3 said:I assumed you already had that?

No, actually—I’d managed to pick up some hops and sourced this incredible mineral water from deep within some remote glacier, but then they started renovations on my building and the basement got far too warm. The water was finished off, and the hops just withered away.

I just noticed on my calendar there’s a little pig icon next to today's date, and right at the bottom, next to that little star, it says:
*harvest festival

Billy is the Tzar.
I recently overheard some absolute nonsense claiming that The Clash might be reuniting with Timom-Rancid.
Look, I love both bands, but if there's any truth to that rumor, they seriously need to get their heads checked!!!

*Meat Festival

😁 Since we're on the subject, if you're actually planning on swinging through Chvar this Thursday, don't be a jerk—bring me a copy of that "Meat" magazine for the modern man. I seriously need to check it out. Is there even a red meat lovers club around here?

Sandra Chase16 said:I heard some absolute nonsense about The Clash reuniting with Timom-Rancid.
I love both bands, but if there's any truth to that, someone needs to knock some sense into them... seriously.

I caught wind of it too, but just once. If a rumor that massive were actually true, I’d be hearing it everywhere; it’s too shocking to stay quiet...

Reforming The Clash by swapping out Joe would be pathetic, especially since he spent years stubbornly refusing to even entertain the idea (and frankly, he was right to).

Sandra Chase16 said:but I’m not exactly resistant to large quantities myself😳

And tell me, does joining the club maybe come with a homebrewing kit?😁

Let me introduce you to the guy who got hit with an "it's either the beer or me" ultimatum from his girlfriend. You know what he did? He grabbed every single pot, grain, hop, and bottle in sight and just vanished!!!!

Kevin Chavez3 said:I heard the same thing, but only once. If it were true, I imagine I'd be hearing it from every news outlet in the country; honestly, news that shocking doesn't just stay quiet.

Trying to reform The Clash by swapping out Joe would be incredibly tacky, especially since he spent years stubbornly refusing even the slightest hint of such a move (and frankly, he was right to do so).

I am in complete agreement.

crimsonfalcon17 said:Let me introduce you to the guy who got hit with the classic "it's either the beer or me" ultimatum. His response? He grabbed every single pot, grain, hop, and bottle he could find and just cleared out!

Honestly, the only thing capable of delivering such harsh criticism to me would be my own liver.

Who the hell is singing in the reformed Germs?

Sandra Chase16 said:I honestly feel like only my own liver could throw such harsh words at me.

Do you want to know which band is my liver's absolute favorite?

Liver Tullis

crimsonfalcon17 said:Do you have any idea which band is my liver's absolute favorite?

Jetro Tull

Heh—I just hope they aren't all rocking the exact same look.

stressee said:hehe - hope they aren't rocking the exact same fit

Nah, but even if you play the flute, the beer still comes out the wrong way... 😬
Anyway, you seriously need to show up to our town hall meeting on December 10th.

dmj said:No, but even the beer comes out through the flute... 😬
Anyway, you seriously need to show up at our shareholder meeting on December 10th.

I am honored.
Then I could head over to Reddit afterwards and cause some trouble.
