Scruffy The Janitor

Whiskey In The Jar by Metallica (originally by Thin Lizzy)

Whiskey In The Jar is a fairly old song. Pretty sure someone else did it before Thin Lizzy.

I know Roger Whittaker has done a version of it. I know because I was forced to listen to that shit when I was a kid.

Numbered just to keep up, in no particular order:

1) Dragonforce

2) Metallica

3) Hammerfall

4) Ritual Carnage

5) Slayer

6) The White Stripes

7) Black Dahlia Murder

8) The Raconteurs (yes I love Jack White)

9) Stone Sour

10) Tool

My friends always laugh at my music collection at partys. Not only for my collection (I'm one of the few with such diverse tastes from Bubblegum Pop to Death Metal), but for just how sorted my music collection is.

It's sorted by Genre, then by artist, then chronologically through their albums. (Foobar2000 FTW!) If the artist name contains The it is put at the end of the artist's title (ie "The Beatles" become "Beatles, The"). 90% of my music is also FLAC, and the other 10% is mp3s at 256Kbit of higher (And i even test at a low ABX, usually around the 160Kbps area, so there really is no need for such high mp3s).

Also when I acquire music (legally of course ), I will generally only take a FLAC version of the music. Not that I'm an audiophile but more that I like to have options when I like put music onto a music player. From FLAC I can convert to any quality, any size, and any codec depending on the needs of the device I am putting it on.

I absolutely hate bad quality rips of music that go around the internet. I also have a pet peeve of people who download an album by downloading all the seperate songs and putting it together and all the files having different qualitys. I don't know why, but it just grates me.

Also when Songs are mis-labelled...etc I scream inside. So much so that when I am around at a randoms place for say a party, and there music is mis-labelled I have been known to correct it all instead of drinking much to my friends laughter.

So how anal-retentive about your music are you?

I usually put on a OTR audio show when I'm bored. But if it's TV its usually something like Lion King, or some fun family movie.

On a side note who sings "Sixteen Candles"? (Like an olden song, my dad used to listen to it.)

True Story: I once shook Darren Hayes' Hand.

I'm so Cool.

Rob Trujillo's a better bassist than Cliff Burton, IMO. He just hasn't been given much opportunity to show that in Metallica, if he's at all involved in the writing process for their next album, then maybe it'll be more apparent there. Listen to his stuff with Infectious Grooves, or even with Jerry Cantrell, he could run rings around Cliff.

Vocals/Guitar - James Hetfield (Metallica)

Guitar - Kirk Hammett (Metallica)

Bass Guitar - Robert Trujillo (Metallica)

Drums - Lars Ulrich (Metallica)

Smackdown defeniatly beat RAW.

I'll keep reading.

Link me to FICS. I'm not bad. I'm no Kasparov, but I'll give you a decent game.

I would like to play but I can't sign up because both email accounts I have aren't supported. I used to be in the Chess club at school. Lost more games than I won. I probably suck now though wink.gif

I'm just wondering if anybody plays online chess on the FICS system? I'm really bored at the moment, and want to play some chess, and playing someone from EWB would defeniatly be very random.

Anyways if any one does, heres my details....offer me a game:

Username: JohnstonDJ

I have a really sucky finger, so I'm not gonna post those details here. Suffice to say if you play me chances are you will win, and hay thats gotta help the ratings.

I only play rated games, and prefer Standard games, however I will play Blitz.

So anyone up?

^^ who is Adam Jennings?

Now a more historical question to celebrate the release of TEW 2007. Which was the first wrestling sim(text based) that ever came out?

Some europop or summat, up real loud. You jump to get to the alarm clock so everyone in the house doesn't think you have bad taste in music.

I prefer reading Diary's in a shortened form, however this comes over as a smarks show instead of a show that really could have come down and you seem more worried about the ins and outs of the EWR booking system instead of promoting storylines.

I'll still continue to pop into this diary, and give it a read through every now and then however.

When Meat Loaf came back and as an encore played (okay it was always planned to happen, but still): I Would Do Anything For Love, & Bat Out Of Hell. And even though it was 2004, he still had the knockout killer voice. All through this I was getting chills down my spine.

The Eagles - Hotel California

At least he got a good innings.

Still very sad, however.

Billy Talent is pop?

Closest I can think is pop-punk. But that would make them no more pop than Green Day, Blink, Sum or Bowling.

Hmmm...

If Doom inspires people to murder, I should be the most notorious killer of all time

W00t to both Meat Loaf making tied artist of the year, and Bat out of Hell III making tied album of the year....Truly deserved. (But I'm insanely biased when Meat Loaf is involved )

EDIT: and oh for the record, I actually enjoy when these things are spread apart as long as they aren't to small chunks. It makes it much easier to discuss the relative entrys when there aren't three million things to discuss.

Yip Thats the one....found it on wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars:_Yoda_Stories

and this is the indiana jones one:

Now it seems that no places actually sell it anymore . If im going to get a non-demo version, I'm gonna have to take matters into my own hands :thumbsdown: . Oh well I'll guess I'll have to deal.

When we first got a new system and did the big jump from Win '95 to Win '98, we managed to get a couple of games which were just small like 5-10meg games. They were both built of the same engine, and made a random map (and inturn a random game) everytime you played them. One of the games was an indiana jones game, and the other one was a star-wars game. They were kinda adventure where you'd pick up things, and use them in later maps and stuff like that.

If anyone could name them, or help me locate them (full versions if freeware, or demos/place to buy if they are commercial) would be really awesome. I used to spend quite a bit of time playing them.

What the hell is it actually about? I borrowed it from a friend about a month ago, and haven't managed to watch it yet. Had to take a copy because he wanted the disk back. But I still just haven't managed to get the inclination to watch it (I go through certain moods when it comes to watching movies/listening to music), or had the time. Should I just sit down or watch it, or just add it to the list?

On the 13th of January I shall rock with the D and it shall be grand.
