...my grandma suggested we throw out all the books because they are a waste of time (and space).

My dad is the opposite: he hoards books.

Your Dad is such a book whoarder!

The Dream Theater Survivor thread's been locked, so I'll post it here...

SpaceDyeVexit. Nine of us can't be wrong.

Oh, Brigs, I love you. I've always known there's something special about you. I want to built a twisted temple dedicated just to you right now, you know?

The problem I have with this current voting is the 8 votes for Scarred.

I agree thousandfold. This is indeed a disturbing universe. Those people do not know what they're doing...

 

[Brigantium]

Er, thanks, I think.

Does a Canadian death metal band sort seem ironic? I mean, it's hardly a grim place to bred that sort of band.

You've obviously never been to Newfoundland.
(Or Hamilton for that matter)

We just had a huge severe storm move through. Very strong winds which caused the trees to sway back and forth. I can't believe some of them didn't get knocked down.

Off to retake my degree exam (after a one-year break). Taking on English literature. I have a bad feeling about this... but let's hope for some W. Blake and The Rime of the Ancient Mariner questions, huh.

(Heading to Wrocław, where Maiden played on Sunday.)

 

[SixesAlltheway]

Good luck Srogyy!

 

[Travis The Dragon]

You can do it Srogyy!

 

[JudasMyGuide]

Good luck, Srogyy, surely it's going to be okay! Just remember that Dickens is a half-way to Dickinson and that (Emily) Dickinson is almost Bruce. As a Maiden fan, you already know your Huxley (BNW), Chesterton's O God of Earth and Altar (Revelations), Conrad's Heart of Darkness (well, the Edge, but whatever), Herbert's Dune (TTAL), Crowley's Moonchild (Moonchild, surprisingly), Golding's Lord of the Flies (well...), Tennyson's The Charge of the Light Brigade (The Trooper), Poe's Murders in the Rue Morgue (again, obvious), Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancyent Marinere (ROTAM) and your random Bible verses ( NOTB ) and Bible is the backbone of all Western literature. So you literally cannot fail!

 

[Srogyy]

Nice breakdown.

 

[Brigantium]

Basically just recite Maiden lyrics. Good luck!

 

[Srogyy]

Thanks, everyone!

It was difficult, our faculty have no chill, man. First part (English lit) went pretty good but the second (literary theory) was terrible. I knew very little, because they omitted what I studied the most. Results on Friday.

No Blake, no Rime - I couldn't show off.

Labrador is pretty grim, and so are certain areas of Winnipeg and Regina.

With laughter I hope?

Looks like you have a fan there, Brigs!

I used to have "#1 fan"; not sure where CRIED went though...

These labradors look friendly to me.

I never left.

You did, though.

Hi! Been a Maiden fan since the mid 1980's. Been lurking for while now but finally decided to join this forum.

This seems to be the thread where all the cool guys hang out!

Up the Irons!

Hi Legato....assuming you're not a second identity for an existing forum member?
