I do it brit style, crunch um up and put them in a glass of milk
And then what? Boil it?
Drink it? wtf boil it?
You said it was “Brit Style.” Maybe you meant throw a bunch of curry in with it? Pour it over sausages?
Brit style = boil it until it’s grey, fry it 'til it’s dripping and grill it till it’s as tough as an old boot.
Well that’s how mum and dad did it…
I am half Brit? Cookies dipped in milk sometimes break and drop into glass. Left over milk and broken cookies drank after dipping.
Why am I worried that Galaxy Ranger is reading this? :eek:
Ahh…Cookie Crisp
I honestly think he is way overrated. He wasnt doing anything too special. Some of his parts were different because he was left-handed but played like a righty (because he had bad technique), but i think thats just silly to say he was brilliant for doing that. It was just easier to have poor technique. If we were talking about Kieth Moon, or John Bonham I would agree that they are ireplaceable, but I never saw Ringo as that special.
I simply never saw The Beetles as a whole all that special anyways. Hate me all you want for that comment, but its the truth.
As for my cool crap…the closest thing I can think of is that I found a Royale Noir theme for my XP, so I don’t have to look at the lame blue, silver, and olive green Luna themes shudder. Not to mention it goes extremely well with my wallpaper, as does the converted Calibri font.
Moon and Bonham are just flashy virtuosi. They’re like the Franz Liszts of drummers: all flash and no substance. :eek:
I kid, of course. Those guys were frakking brilliant, but you can’t compare Ringo to them. That just wasn’t the style for early rock (n’ roll) drumming. Ringo’s strength lies in his ear and how melodically he is able to think about the drums. Listen to “Something” and how the tom-toms match the melodic direction of the bass line in the bridge. I can’t picture Bonham doing that. He was much more heavy-handed (listen to “Kashmir” or “The Rain Song,” for instance) than Ringo (of course, Zeppelin was playing much heavier music. Again, stylistic contrast).
Now, Ringo playing on “Kind of Blue” would have been a disaster. He’s not a GREAT drummer by any stretch of the imagination either. I just think he’s better than he gets credit for.
His songwriting, on the other hand… :rolleyes:
I don’t know what “Royale Noir” is, but that is one bad ass looking wall paper.
I’ll give you that the Beatles are nothing compared to The Monkees. Now THERE was a revolutionary band!
(Not all that special. You’re either young, or you’re Charlie Gillette.)
Notice how the toolbar is coloured black as opposed to blue, silver, or olive green? THAT’s Royale Noir. I have Windows XP and I was tired of the same three boring colours, so I just downloaded that theme, being Royale Noir.
Thanks for the wallpaper compliment
And yes, I am young. Very young.
Well Moon was a style by himself, but Bonham had a fantastic groove. “when the Leeve Breaks”, while it is heavy has the groove I expect from The Tower of Power. The drums and bass should always be in constant groove with each other.
He has my fav. solo career. Its just so goofy:D
It’s French for a Black Quarter-Pounder.
Dang, now I’m jonesing for a fast food burger.
It made me legit lol.
Do you know Christopher Rouse’s percussion ensemble piece “Bonham?” It was pretty famous for a while but doesn’t seem to get done too often anymore. It’s a kind of fantasy on the drum groove from When the Levee Breaks. Friggin’ awesome.
Not as awesome, though, as the original song.
The thing about Zeppelin for me is that they were phenomenal performers, each one a master technician (one on multiple instruments!) and fantastic live players. But as songwriters, well, they’re either plagiarizers (cf. “The Lemon Song”), or just vapid (pretty much anything else). The arrangements make up for the content of the songs, but I think it was the great musicologist and critic, Brock Samson, who said it best when he said, “this isn’t jock rock! It’s about longing, and desire, and…okay, and hobbits, sure, but…”
And still, they were better songwriters than Ringo. Don’t pass me by indeed! :rolleyes:
So would a Royale Noir avec des fromage would be a black quarter pounder with cheese?
It made me legit lol.
Too legit to quit?
(Man, I suddenly feel old.)
Yeah, you’re all right, kid. You’re aaaaaall right.
I am afraid to ask what your signature means.
Yes, I am very old.
Good to know I can be accepted :P.
And I lol’d at the comment. Well chuckled is more what I did. Should I have typed “col” instead?
Well, if you’re pro-life, you’re obviously taking a position in which you are against the destruction of any living being merely for the sake of killing them, e.g. abortion, euthanasia, etc.
If, during a zombie apocalypse, the living dead begin to crawl the earth, people who are pro-life will face a dilemma, since advocating the death of zombies would be against their pro-life ideals.
I’m no liberal, not by a long shot, but I still found the picture dark enough and funny enough to be flaunted around on whichever forum I ended up joining. Soooooo, yeah.
