Dream Band Super-Group Tournament - CONGRATULATIONS, SELF!

[bada]

When I was a kid the line "mountain mamma" always made laugh. No idea why.

[Lament]

If Kaius doesn't pick by 12:07, you can pick, THIP. If you're gonna be gone, you can PM me your pick and I will put it in for you at 12:07 (unless he picks before then).

[LetMeSleep]

Although I appreciate Varis' great write up regarding his choice, it ain't necessary at the selection time. If that is what is holding up Kaius, I mean.

[Kaius]

First and foremost, as manager, my dream band would make performance a priority. Often times great musician or songwriter and great performer are not synonymous. Sometimes a less talented musician can make everyone forget about harmonies, pitch, and chord progressions just with their stage presence and knack for captivating the hearts and minds of everyone in the room.

...Or captivating even those in the back of a crowd 72000 people strong. See exhibit A

My first pick embodies that elite level of showmanship without actually sacrificing any musical talent. You'd be hard pressed to find a better combination of natural vocal ability and technical dynamic range in another singer. He has also proved himself as a songwriter fit to be named along side the greats of all time. See exhibit B.

With my first selection, I present ...
Freddie Mercury

You fucked that one up, buddy.

[Kaius]

God damnit

[Lament]

Nice pick, Kaius.

You're up, THIP. You have until 6:45 AM Eastern time before the person picking after you can pass you up if you haven't picked.

[Kaius]

Will someone fix that abortion for me. I fucked with it for at least Half an hour. And between that and my baby crying and you guys waiting for me I'm at my wits end.

[LetMeSleep]

Sort out your baby and relax (hard to do I know).

[Kaius]

This is serious shit guys!!!! Arrrarrrgghjhhghh

[Kaius]

Thanks LMS.
I just realized I had the BBC code disabled for some unknown fucking reason.

Sorry that took so long fellas. Long day.

[Norah]

You had a few things wrong with that post that made the codes not work. The youtube URL wasn't right, you had a space after the picture URL, etc, etc, etc.

HOW DO YOU PLAN ON RAISING A CHILD WITH SUCH NEGLIGENCE!?

[LetMeSleep]

HOW DO YOU PLAN ON RAISING A CHILD WITH SUCH NEGLIGENCE!?

Planning doesn't fucking work.

[Kaius]

It's amazing my first kid is still alive. It really is.

[Sgt. Crackpot]

Yeah. It's easy to be childless and judge people who are parents. You seem them do certain things, and you think "man, I wouldn't do that" or "I can see a better way of dealing with that issue" or "my kid would never misbehave/whinge/yell/etc like that".

But then when you finally have kids of your own, all that goes out the window and you're thinking "I have no idea what I'm doing, and this is so much fucking harder that I thought it'd be".

[Kaius]

Well guys, don't save my feelings. Tell me how much my pick sucked. (Ya gotta admit it's sexy though)

[LetMeSleep]

It's amazing that any kids survive. And Sarge you're right. As soon as you have a toddler you get pretty un judgemental

[LetMeSleep]

Well guys, don't save my feelings. Tell me how much my pick sucked. (Ya gotta admit it's sexy though)

I wouldn't have picked him but he's a hell of a frontman/performer/writer. Ever see the Days Of Our Lives doco?

[Sgt. Crackpot]

That's a damn good pick, Kaius.
