Just saw the Blue Man Group perform here in St. Louis. It was an excellent show. Highly recommend seeing them if you get a chance. Get good seats.

That is all.

I too find their music entertaining, but in the spirit of this forum:

Are you crazy?! They're blue! They must suck!

If God meant for performers to be Blue, He wouldn't've killed Zhaan.

In Response to mcgrue (#7949):

no, a correct response would be:

blue man group? they're sellouts, a corporate franchise performing simultaneously in 10 cities across the country - they suck!

In Response to mcgrue (#7949):

Their eyeballs scare me. They're all big and white and stuff. Crazy person eyes, I tell ya.

I had an opportunity to see the Blue Man Group when I was in Vegas last Feb.

But I wasn't about to pay $90/head to see a bunch of makeup wearing freaks, unless it was Kiss.

In Response to zamphir (#7978):

Hmm....I've never seen Kiss in concert, but I've paid to see both Blue Man Group and Gwar at various points in time...and the Blue freaks were definitely the better of the two.

In Response to phillip (#7979):

Well.
Among other things

1. Gwar is an acquired taste
2. Gwar are freaks wearing makeup, not makeup wearing freaks.
3. I wouldn't pay $90 to see Kiss, either.

Oh, and you're a pestiliant, snood-sucking son of the gunwhales that hasn't learned how to tie his shoes, much less brush his teeth or think without assistance.

In Response to zamphir (#7980):

Being a pen foe involves an ongoing, intimate, two-way exchange (preferably via email or some form of handwritten "letter", as they were called in the olden days), not the flinging of taunts at random in a public forum. Moron.

In Response to jon (#7985):

Moron.
Is that the best you've got, Rosenberg?

I don't like anyone enough to expend the effort to give the personal touch.

It's the modern world. I'm using modern tactics. I'm not concerned with process.

Subtlety is a lost art in today's go-go world.

I'm not concerned with process.

Or with having a functional avatar for more than a week, apparently.

Well, the last time (at least a month ago) that my avatar broke was because some yahoo at my colo moved my machine without telling anyone. Clicked the little power-off button, unplugged everything, and apparently threw it across the room or something.

So a few cards had to be reseated before it would power up again. And then it had to refsck everything a couple of times.

This time, my avatar is broken because I've switched from a rattletrap linux server to a brand new XServ, and haven't moved all my content yet.

If you wanted to make a subtle joke by castigating me for throwing insults around while also insulting me, you should have actually insulted me. Calling me a "moron" is like calling you an "artist".

So, yes, I agree. Subtlety is a lost art.

In Response to zamphir (#7992):

Just get over the whole insult thing, rainbow-brite.

In Response to unFalln (#7995):

Bite me, nut-boy.

In Response to zamphir (#8020):

Now now, that's just uncalled for.

See, there are three of them, so you must pluralize your epithet to 'Nuts-boy'.

In Response to mcgrue (#8029):

you must pluralize your epithet to 'Nuts-boy'.

According to what set of grammar rules?

Artist.

In Response to zamphir (#8051):

The pluralising "passer-by" to "passers-by" rule?

In Response to evilaltor (#8064):

The pluralising "passer-by" to "passers-by" rule?

"passer-by" is turned into "passers-by" because "by" is modifying "passer".

"Nut-boy" does not turn into "Nuts-boy" because "Nut" is modifying "boy".

In Response to zamphir (#8068):

I stand humbled and enlightened. Also surprised that you left the "s" in "pluralising" unscathed.

In Response to evilaltor (#8095):

I stand humbled and enlightened.
I knew I should have flamed you harder. ;-)

Also surprised that you left the "s" in "pluralising" unscathed.
I couldn't be bothered.

You might be British. It's not incorrect English to spell it that way.

In Response to themysticalone (#8098):

Not British, but I know that it is correct. In fact, I know that most people here know that it is correct. However, I expected it to be mocked as it is different to the norm (at least here where most folks are American). Mocking things that are different to us is the highest form of wit and humour, isn't it? ;-)

In Response to evilaltor (#8101):

Well, that certainly seems to be the case around here anyway.
