    Eating contests - fun and harmless or disgusting?

    Hey, at least I can comment on relevant topics, rather than gossip about what Snooki stuck up her butt this week or what have you. This is why I like watching contests where people eat super hot peppers. It's a healthy, renewable food source, and much more entertaining than a bunch of dudes...

    Eating contests - fun and harmless or disgusting?

    Well I think the chemicals/preservatives in hot dogs would kill most starving people, but yes, the gluttony and ridiculousness of the whole thing is a bit stupid. However, I don't find it nearly as disgusting as 16 and Pregnant, Toddlers and Tiaras, etc. Glorifying everything that is wrong...

    Cloud Computing = Failure Waiting to Happen

    Call me an old fogey (at 23), but I don't trust this cloud storage system stuff. I prefer to have what I own on my own computer, or what have you. If the internet ever gets shut down for some reason or another, I'd like to be able to still have all my stuff available. Call me paranoid, but I...

    Baked Beans!

    Baked beans are good on their own, but mix it up with some savory pulled pork and a hefty amount of chopped peppers, and I could eat myself sick.

    Is Les Claypool the Frank Zappa of today?

    Zappa was a bandleader; not only could he drink a lot, but he played 23 different instruments too, and he couldn't even read music. Self taught, you know? Couldn't tell though to hear him play. When he'll play and sway in rhythm to the catchy little tunes that he knows, all the girls for 5 miles...

    Movies you are ashamed to like...

    Kung Pow: Enter the Fist And I don't know if it's shame worthy or not, but I love Stephen King's TV-Movies from the 90's, such as The Stand and the Langoliers. Gary Sinise is one of my favorite actors...

    How's Austin TX for living?

    I enjoyed my time there, but it does have a large share of patchouli soaked stinky enviro-loons, and white guy dreads, but it's a pretty cool place. I still like Dallas better due to it's fine arts and high saturation of awesome restaurants. But it also has it's fair share of rich a**holes...

    Favorite Practice Food?????????

    We usually would chow down after practice, but since our singer is so fat and happy (nicknamed Fappy), we would usually try to go to Freebirds (Chipotle without the tofu, hybrid cars, and fairy wishes). We weren't allowed to leave without finishing off one of their Monster burritos. Fappy was...

    Hot Sauce

    You'll find like minded chili-heads at thehotpepper.com forum. The guys there are real informative and down to earth. There's a few threads that really remind me of OT. Especially 'The Drunken Chef'. As there are musicians on that forum, I knew there had to be some chili-heads on TB!

    Hot Sauce

    When it comes to flavor over heat, I'm a big fan of Tapatio, Chipotle Tabasco, Louisiana Hot Sauce, and Freebird's Death Sauce. When I want equal heat and flavor, my newest and most favorite sauce is the Red Savina Habanero sauce from the Scoville Institute. Probably around 30,000 Scoville...

    Michael Todd Arrested For Robbing a Walgreens?

    Some of the best talent I've heard in years. I wasn't the biggest fan of all their music, but I managed to see them live and it was intense. Their live shows sounded just as good as their albums. Addiction can be far more powerful than people imagine. Especially painkillers. People who have...

    What's Your Bass/Guitar's Name?

    Of course. My Fender Jazz is Tabernacle, and my Simmons 5er is Broderick.

    Should MusicMan just make Stingrays?

    Ugh, now that I'm done throwing up........ I'm of the opinion that we shouldn't b*tch about what a manufacturer makes unless they take away something that we like. I'm not going to cry just because some company makes a goofy looking bass.

    Fretless Telecaster?

    I'd go Warmoth before I'd rip the frets out of a nice bass like that.
