I think 4 rusted horses is my favorite out of what you sent me. But his music has a way of changing with me over time.
Opposite of that is green day, where every song i loved the first time i heard it, i always loved and every song I hated the first time, I kept hating.

[BanningZ]

Is that a good thing? I'm confused

[BanningZ]

I'm having trouble changing the format on the other 4 songs I have. As far as I understand there are supposed to be 15 songs in total.

Neither, just a FF (Fun fact)

Just so you don't screw up. I saw these on MSN yesterday

10 Travel Taboos

Most people try to be mindful of local customs when they're traveling abroad, but the cultural landscape can be a minefield. To help you avoid embarrassment (or worse), we've gathered a sampling of cultural taboos — from common sense to comedy — to pack with you on your next trip out of the country.

Chopsticks: In Japan, it's considered a bad omen to insert your chopsticks into the rice bowl and leave them there for any reason. That's because resting chopsticks vertically in a rice bowl reminds the Japanese of grave markers. Instead, when you're putting down your chopsticks, place them on top of your bowl or plate, parallel to the table. It's also considered poor manners to take food from the serving plate with the ends of the chopsticks you've eaten from. Instead, turn your chopsticks with that side toward you, and then pick the food up.

Visiting mosques: All visitors — Muslim and non-Muslim — must remove their shoes before stepping into a mosque. Visitors should also follow customs for dress when visiting a mosque. Men should wear long pants and long-sleeved shirts, while women should wear dresses or skirts that cover the knees, as well as tops with sleeves that at least cover the elbows. Women should also wear a head scarf; however, if you don't have one, most large mosques will have head scarves that you can borrow at the entrance.

Giving flowers: If you plan to give flowers as a gift in Ukraine, be sure the bouquet contains an odd number of blossoms, as even-numbered bunches are customary for funerals. If you're bringing flowers as a hostess gift or to celebrate a birthday or other special occasion, you should avoid yellow flowers or Easter lilies, which are also reserved for funerals. When invited to a Ukrainian's home for a meal, you may want to play it safe by bringing a bottle of imported liquor instead.
Kissing: Train passengers in Cheshire, England, can run afoul of local authorities if they linger over long, romantic farewells. Officials at Warrington Railway Station posted a "No Kissing" sign to stop smooching couples from holding up other commuters. However, if you need to say a longer goodbye, you still can … in the newly designated "Kissing Zone.

Salt: Although Egyptians are considered to be extremely friendly and hospitable, their cooks must have very tender egos. When traveling to Egypt, don't put salt on your food, as doing so is considered an insult to the chef. Fortunately, Egyptian food is usually quite flavorful, thanks to abundantly available spices and the use of garlic, onions and other aromatics.


Visiting churches: If you're planning a trip to Italy in the warmer months, be sure to pack more than shorts and tank tops. Visitors to the country's churches and cathedrals are expected to dress modestly, which excludes short shorts or sleeveless tops for both men and women. Expect your dress to be scrutinized at the door by guards or other parishioners; to avoid being called out, pack a shawl, sweatshirt or other layer you can slip on before entering the church.

"V for victory" sign: Don't make the "V for victory" sign with your palm facing inward in Great Britain, as it's considered to be both a gesture of defiance and an insult. According to popular legend, the two-fingered salute derives from the gestures of longbowmen fighting for the English army during the Hundred Years' War. As the story goes, the French claimed that they would cut off the arrow-shooting fingers of all longbowmen after they had won a decisive battle. But the English came out victorious and showed off their two fingers, still intact.

Insulting the king: Thais deeply revere their 80-year-old King Bhumibol Adulyadej — some see him as almost divine and carry his image on talismans to bring good luck — and insulting him is a crime known as lese majeste, punishable by imprisonment for up to 15 years. The law, a throwback to the era of absolute sovereign power, has led to Web sites being censored and at least one foreign writer having been arrested.

Clinking beer glasses: Hungarians don't clink beer glasses or bottles when they're making a toast, due to the tradition of remembering soldiers killed in the 1848 revolution against the Habsburg Empire. Legend has it that after Austrians celebrated the executions of 13 Hungarian martyrs by clinking their beer glasses, it was decreed that no Hungarian would toast with beer for 150 years. Even though it's now more than a decade after the end of that time period, old habits die hard. For travelers, this taboo may be easier to remember than how to say cheers in Hungarian: "Egészségedre."

Cleaning your plate: The "clean plate club" doesn't exist in Cambodia. If you eat everything on your plate, it means you still want more and signifies that your hosts have not served you enough. Cambodians enjoy a strong sour taste in many of their dishes, especially through the addition of prahok, a pungent fish paste. This is an acquired taste for most foreigners, so maybe cleaning your plate isn't a big risk after all.

If they cooks are insulted by you putting it on your food, don't put it on my table. Thats what I say!

This is so awful! Adult Swim is playing a softcore porn called "The Room" as an April fools joke at 12pm. Every time you see boob or something they have an over sized black area over the region. At one point 90% of the screen was just a black box. Oh god the acting so so awful! My eyes are bleeding!

Heres the Wikipedia page on it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Room_(film)

The Room (2003) is an independent film written, produced, and directed and executive produced by Tommy Wiseau. It is the melodramatic story of a love triangle between a man, his fiancée, and his best friend. The principle cast includes Wiseau, Juliette Danielle, Greg Sestero, Philip Haldiman, Carolyn Minnott, and Robyn Paris. Without any studio support, Wiseau spent over $6 million on production and marketing for the film. After a brief run in Los Angeles, the film went on to develop a cult following in the city, because of its perceived unintentional humor. It continues to have monthly midnight screenings. Wiseau promotes the film as a black comedy and insists that the “unintentional” humor is intentional, although audience members generally doubt this.[1] The movie was aired at midnight EST on April 1st, 2009 on Adult Swim[2] as an April Fools Joke.

Wiseau made an appearance on Adult Swim's sketch comedy show Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! in the episode "Tommy", on March 8, 2009. Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim, the titular duo, regularly attend screenings of The Room. The film then aired on Adult Swim as its annual April Fool's Day joke on April 1st, 2009 at midnight, followed by the Tim & Eric episode Tommy. Home Movies, Family Guy and King Of The Hill ran as scheduled. As usual for its April Fools Joke, Adult Swim gave TV Guide the wrong information. Adult Swim rated The Room TV-14-DLSV (scenes not appropriate for basic cable were edited out or partially or entirely covered with black boxes). At random times, the phrase "Do not duplicate this copyrighted material" appeared at the bottom of the screen, and the bumps, which appear before and after the commercial breaks, either advertised the R-rated DVD or read "What are you fools watching?"

EDIT: Correction the entire screen is now blacked out! They have a sex scene like every three minutes. Also gotta love how the dialog has been. Example: "Hey Bro hows your sex life?" "I can't talk about it", " I have to go." thanks for the coffee, bye." LOL!

ok so now this is a genesis forum thats pink

[BanningZ]

^Yup its AK's april fools joke. awesome huh?! It really weirded me out because I was reporting some spam, and then i decided to quote it and make a crappy comment about it and when I quoted it, everything turned pink! I was like "NO! Hidden virus or something!" Then i figured it out that everyone had been sat on by the Strawberry shortcake genesis mess. I was freaked for a second though.
