Some people have no commitment. You know what? I think I knew he'd do this. The signs were there.

It's totally 2am here. Maybe I'll tag back in tomorrow night, brother. Hulk's gotta go get his steroid shot.

Yeah, it's 2am here as well.

Someone post a tribute thread for this thread. I'm too lazy to do it, but I'll take an executive producer credit.

This is not the greatest thread in the world. This is just a tribute.

if a few brave souls put all the good posts in here, no one will have to read that thread again. this is a good deed.

Ok, here are my selected highlights from 1001-1050. About halfway down 1004 (starting with durdencommatyler asking "You guys ever wonder what would happen if none of us posted about Pearl Jam for one day. Just one whole 24 hour day. No Pearl Jam posts at all. What would happen?") through the first 3/4 of 1005 is all gold, but almost none of it was in pyramid form, so I've left all of it out for now.

Also, my concept of what's worth preserving is probably way off, so I apologize that I'm probably the only one who enjoys these following posts...

for the special poster at the Seattle show, I hope it's just harmless sitting at a booth giving out handshakes

The plot twist is that RM is just one man with hundreds of different accounts.

This is all happening inside a snow globe that harmless plays with like oh such nothing.

Harmless = God?

The two sections of MyM that start off "I am metaphysicaly diseased"

LOL, my most active topic is the irrational hatred thread.

I learned alot last night on Vh1 classic. They had a special about grunge. They spent a fair amount of time talking about Ed's yordel I think that is what they called it. The Melvins called it a rock star overbite. Mark Arm was on this which was cool. I also found out Pearl Jam took a break in the late 90's. This is the coolest part Brendan O Brian compared Pearl Jam to Paul Rodger this is true I am not making this up. Jerry Cantrell was also jamming with Nickleback.

I repeat I did not make this up.

just looked it up. It is a series about the evolution of metal

man i love kirsten dunst.

I have to disagree. But that's probably cause she looks like my sister.

Flip your sister over.

Problem solved.

These are three arena rockbands with baritone vocalists, that is about all they have in common. I am not a fan of Nickleback, but they get some respect from me. Creed not so much.

Nothing gets RM wetter than old growling dudes. And REM.

I tried to post this to help the push to 1,000 pages, but there was so much activity here I couldn't get thru... But am I too late to go on record that I would gladly fuck that chick in the bathtub?

Someone: Kirsten Dunst is hot
Lament: I can't get into her because she looks like my sister
McP: Turn your sister over. Now (the post intimated) you can have sex with the Kirsten Dunst look alike without feeling weird about it.

I still haven't done this. I started it though.

One of the first fake track listings had Brian O'Brendan as the producer.

So here are my picks from 1051 - 1100. Once again, there were some things that weren't in pyramid form and couldn't be captured without copying a billion things. Specifically KurtLeon's death begins on 1082, and Dave's Song starts while KurtLeon's death (and Kat's appearance) are going on. They stop at page 1088, but then on 1091 Sea shows up and Dave's Song starts again, going until around 1095. As for the rest...

I still prefer anything Pearl Jam over other music.

"Be true to yourself. Write what you want to write. Don't worry about pleasing other people."

except me

I feel like this 'return' to catchy choruses and shit is more a regression than anything. She's your lightning bolt, your rock and roll, shes true...

They went backwards all the way to ten and then busted through it to the otherside. We're a fraction away from 'what the funk is up' people.

Jon Bongiovi would choke on his yellow mane before writing a song like Mind Your Manners.

Good point...it doesnt bother to me because Ed writes sometimes about other people in first person.
Daughter, for example.

Don't call me daughter / I have a penis / Not calling me "son" sexually confuuuuuses me"

Fucking Ed. Ruined the whole god damned album.

After 1071 pages, I still have no clue how Harmless feels about the album...

I refuse to think of LB as a song about surfing. Or even an unsurfed wave. I refuse.

Deep down every pearl jam song is about surfing. Definitely all of eddies.

The next Christmas single needs to be ed singing 'waaaaaavvvvveesss wwwaaaaavvvveesssss waaavvvveeessssuuuuuaaaaaarrrgghhh' over some acoustic guitar.

Stip is in rare form today!

YOU TELL EM STIP! DONT TAKE SHIT OFF NOBDY!

I know talking about the song Lightning Bolt probably isn't appropriate in this thread, but I woke up this morning with some lyrics to Gin and Juice set to LB's melody. It went something like this.

I got a pocket full of rubbers and
(you've gotta know you'll never let her go)

My homeboys do
(Lightning bolt!)
They do too
(Lightning bolt!)

With so much drama in the L-B-C / it's kinda hard bein Snoop D-O-double-G
(Always something and never nothing / Isn’t that the way we’re taught to dream)

RIP Cleverman

Harmless, you're getting worked up. Go take a walk or something to cool down.

Not enough TALK ABOUT TEN! stip back me up!

[stip]

thanks Lament. You're doing the lord's work.

I was going to finish my section but I have a bad cold and went to bed,

It is worse this morning.

[Strat]

Im not sure what is worse; a cold or future days. I can only imagine what would happen when such worlds collide on a dreary AM.

[evenslow]

I hate it when NOBDY gives everyone shit.

Nice work, Lament, and others. It's good to know that my quip about Jon Bongiovi's yellow mane shall remain. Forever.

Ye-e-e-llow Mane, o-o-o-on the r-i-i-i-i-se (with the he-elp of a well pa-haid stylist and good hari-dry-yy-yy-herrrrrr).

[McParadigm]

You're doing the lord's work.
