You know you need a woman in your household when you compare defrosting your freezer to sending the Death Star to Hoth.

You know you'll have a very small pool of women to be in your household when you make references to the Death Star and Hoth... :)

Sure! You will have to fight my youngest daughter for a bed, because she is sure she is taking my son's room over when he leaves... but you can have the sofa.
 
Football can be depressing at times. Strømsgodset-Fredrikstad 5-0. Our worst defeat in the top flight in the modern era. Relegation is looking more and more likely.

As for Kirk, anybody else think that, if you consider how often he testifies that the safety of his crew is his utmost priority, he seems to be pretty lousy at his job?

See your point, but I always seem to consider Kirk as a complete maverick. So if he endangers his crew...it's just him. Just don't grab the red shirt when you're part of the away team.

AND.....Oldest sporting competition I would of said would be the Much Wenlock Olympic games - dating back to 1850.
 
Honestly, when the redshirt got killed in the new movie, I cheered. I also cheered when Kirk was nailing the green chick. And laughed at Christopher Pike in the wheelchair.
 
I wonder if he really dressed like that for the pic.

Most probably.


I am currently trying to come up with a list of my favourite metal studio albums. The choice of what bands I consider "metal" is still quite arbitrary... right now, UFO, Uriah Heep, Rainbow, Black Sabbath and Thin Lizzy are in, Deep Purple, Queen, Rush and AC/DC are out. I'm really not sure how to solve that problem. Maybe I will reduce it to Rainbow and Black Sabbath for early acts, because those have the biggest metal "feel" for me.

Next, while sifting through the list of potential bands, I noticed that in many cases, the album I was going to include is the only album by the band I actually know, or know very well, meaning I should listen to artists like Death Angel, Moonsorrow, Anaal Nathrakh and Vader a lot more.

But it looks like I might be able to narrow it down to 100. Right now, I have a list of 113 potential albums, with three bands I might exclude completely, and a number of albums with question marks behind them. Obviously, Iron Maiden are dominating with twelve albums in the draft, although I might throw two out. There is surprisingly much thrash and surprisingly little black metal in the list, which means to me that I need to re-evaluate some things. Little death metal, as I expected, but surprisingly much power metal: Iced Earth, Blind Guardian, Demons and Wizards, Sabaton, Powerwolf and Savatage are all in. I'm not dead certain about the Powerwolf album, however, and I might also exclude one of the two Sabaton albums.

Chronologically, I think the eighties, nineties and 2000s are pretty evenly covered.
 
Hell is Empty... is a bloody great album.

Incidentally, I'm also probably going to include Kings of Metal by Manowar, and it looks like it's only going to be the third-cheesiest album on the list. :S
 
It's in, definitely. But it's the least cheesy Manowar album, even if that is not saying much.

For me, from this list only UFO, Uriah Heep, Queen and AC/DC I wouldn't consider metal. The others - yes.

I would consider UFO and ACDC metal before Rush. I can't think of one full Rush album that I would consider metal.
 
Of the ones listed, Perun, I would only consider Sabbath metal. The rest are all hard rock to me. I'm surprised that Thin Lizzy is being accepted as metal o.O
 

Even if there was/is the odd "metalish" track in their catalogue, they are certainly no more metal than any of the other bands mentioned, if UFO etc are not to be classed as metal - theres no way Thin Lizzy are.
I don't know much Rush, Moving Pictures mostly, but that's more metal than Thin Lizzy in itself so again.. if you aren't calling Rush metal, how can you call Thin Lizzy?
 
Well... I toyed with the idea of creating a separate thread for this, but the idea of writing a blurb for 100 albums each is really not very appealing to me right now. So here it just comes. Incidentally, the order is actually pretty random for the top 80 or so, and the list of runners up is at least as long. Which means that this list is actually worthless and tells you next to nothing about my personal taste. So enjoy, but please don't nail me down to this.
