GENIUS FORUMS

Poor Elizabeth. If only she had dealt with more important things first, she'd be able to deal with this "skin cancer".

One of my favorites from childhood. I taped it off the radio and would listen to it repeatedly in the dark.

A group of young children were asked about marriage... HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY? You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming. - Alan, age 10 No person really decides before th...

I've always hated my real name but it's proper to use it.

"Angel Ramirez"

Thank you.

A couple of years ago I would have gotten such a boost from reading the positive remarks and become angry or defensive over what Jamesh said.

That's my first impression. Thanks for commenting.

Rear Naked Choke. Because it's an awesome submission move in mixed martial arts.

What does your name mean?

Which would put most other people at around the mental age of... 2 or 3?

Back in high school I would explain my crabbiness by saying I was really a 75 year old man inside.

I think they would just laugh at it then switch to Coast to Coast with Art Bell. How well did "The Hour of Judgement" do in the ratings?

Lately I find that happiness comes spontaneously without seeking it.

It's very interesting.

That's why it goes so well with alcohol!

Okay, I ran it through a grammar-checker and have fixed the sentence:

"Music iz mind control. It's convenient ta fill yo' mind wiff nonsense when ya can't stand da emptiness anymo' an dat boil on mah ass."

Thanks.

I think some of you are misunderstanding my post. The unique situation I'm speaking of has no emotion involved. I think that's your fault since you said you enjoyed it. That sounded like you were feeling an emotion because of the music. I find myself even less susceptible to beautiful women since I...

I never associate music with nostalgia. I do not associate music with people. Were you always like this? I remember music taking me back to old memories and people I used to know and making me relive those attachments again. This was one of the main reasons I'd listen to music when I was in high sc...

Do you think you'll ever lose interest in music?

Hey Cato, I remember having that same realization when I was 16 years old and smoking pot in the boys bathroom.

I live in New York City. Everyone here is a mindless zombie.

Help!

Maybe "genius forum" is a misnomer for some posters? Well, if you read the definition of genius by the moderators of the board you would find that most people here do not match it. Is it a misnomer regarding yourself? If you belong on a genius message board maybe you can tell me who is an...

You can start a topic if you like or respond on what you see here, and simply ignore the uncivilized. The question is, can you do that? Well, that was an interesting thing to say. I felt it not quite thought through, but interesting. Is it impossible to respond without vitriol to someone who gives ...

Shouldn't you just be thankful that no one's threatening to kill, mutilate or maim your physical body into seeing things their way?

It's just debating on a message board. Are you really that fucking wimpy?

I run into people like you all the time on the internet and the real world.

I know one of the USA's founding fathers , not sure which one, actually went as far as to white out all the parts in the New Testament about Jesus performing miracles and being the son of God. That founding father was Thomas Jefferson. There was an article in Harper's a few months ago about this. h...

What happened to the rest of your post? You still watch TV? I remember when I was still a brat and used to watch it all day. For a time all the household detergent commercials showed a brilliant woman and a dopey man. The woman always used the superior products and the dumb man had to be shown what ...

Yeah, the Beatles suck. My mother practically raised me on their junk plus Cream and Led Zeppelin et cetera.

But I'm much more into the Velvet Underground, Captain Beefheart and of course Frank Zappa. Robert Wyatt is also great.

I just purchased Slint's Spiderland album. I highly recommend it.

I see now that "the glass is half full" was already covered in David Quinn's long list. It is if you learn from your experience. lol what if you just get AIDs instead? Doesn't mean you still can't learn something. At least they didn't kill you. Point is, every cloud has silver lining if yo...

"The glass is half full."

Many hipsters in the East Village still like to use that one. Makes Hulk want to smash.

You don't enjoy suffering itself, but you enjoy the flux of emotions. Without the cyclical change from suffering to happiness you'd be bored shitless This makes sense. Thanks for spelling it out for me. Memory is a bitch because it has inbuilt mechanisms for forgetting past suffering, for only reme...
