We need a Pink Pony "mood"
-
Okay, I have a technical question, hopefully it's not a stupid one. Say someone needs to "report" a post. However, right after the post is reported, the person who made the post edits it (so it no longer looks report-worthy). Does the report show the original post, or the edited (current) post?No my dear, not Rocky Horror Show... Little Shop of Horrors. :nice: Big scary man-eating plants.* buys lottery ticket *WE NEED RAIN MY LAWN IS CRUSTY:awesome: yeah, and check out my, err Roadie #44's blog. :sneaky:Roadie #44 – Blog #1 August 30, 2010 #44 succumbs to the impatient So even though you all are fully aware by now that the band has not been in the studio recently (not in its entirety, anyway), you still whine about the lack of reports from the lovely Roadie #42. What exactly is it that you would like him to report, I wonder? “Hello. I’m here to report that the band isn’t in the studio right now. Goodbye.” I don’t think so. And he has been ordered to take a break anyway. I must say that I enjoy reviewing your analysis of 42’s previous blogs, how you read way too much into every detail, even insinuating that he hints at track titles with “quotations”, drool over the solar system bit, etc. So, with Roadie #42 on break, Roadie #43 on hiatus or M.I.A., I give you – ME. Roadie #44: the janitor of the Beehive. I’m not sure that I can come anywhere near the aforementioned in terms of storytelling, but I will try. Because you know, there’s ALL SORTS of juicy things going on when the band’s not here. Yeah. Janitor, you ask? Well of course; the band needs someone to keep the Beehive relatively clean while they are away. The hours are great; it’s not your typical 9-to-5 job. Although there’s no music-making going on in the studio “at the moment”, and Roadie #42 was ordered to take a break, he does still occasionally pop in from time to time. He just can’t stay away! And I also occasionally see this tall, “lanky lad” bringing cigarettes to and from the Beehive. I haven’t asked his name, and he otherwise doesn’t look familiar. I’m just going to pretend that he’s Guy’s personal assistant. Aside from the occasional Roadie #42 and lanky lad sightings, the only living things keeping me company whilst cleaning are all the plants. Those. Damned. Plants. I’m a janitor, not a horticulturist. Pruning the greenery is not in my job description. You know that lounge area that he mentioned in an earlier blog? The plants are even starting to take over that area, too. Although at times it can be tempting to trim the greenery back a little, I have resisted. If they are being used as a sound dampener, it is probably best for me not to touch them, “no matter” how unruly they get. (I’m waiting for the one on the piano to reach the full length of the keys.) In fact I’ve even considered adding to the collection; strategically placing a few “prank” plants, so to speak. Does anyone know where I can find some “Venus” fly traps? The plant and flower vendors down the road don’t appear to sell them. However, the only downside is that I won’t get to see their reaction when they first notice one hiding amidst the other plants. I can visualize it though… *The Venus fly trap chomps down and catches 42’s attention. What is this? Will steps over with his hands behind his back, leaning over ever-so-carefully to peer at the intruding plant. Guy simply says it looks strange. Jonny winces, and with a nervous chuckle proclaims he’s just happy that it’s not a sheep. All of the activity catches Chris’ attention, and he sprints over to the huddle. Almost instantaneously he is doubled over on the floor and can’t stop laughing. It takes nearly a full minute for him to recover from laughter, and finally utter an audible response. Apparently it reminds him of the Little Shop of Horrors movie.* Of course, there’s no way to know what their reaction would be; unless Chris is spotted wearing a vintage Little Shop of Horrors t-shirt for the next 9 months in every other paparazzi snapshot and interview. I suppose that wouldn’t be so bad, he needs to replace that crusty Back to the Future t-shirt anyway. Each level of the Beehive must be kept clean, including the “depths” of the building where the important files are locked away whilst the band is away from the studio. There are quite a few computers down there. Of course, I would never try to “hack” into those computers to hear any of the work in progress. I wouldn’t want to risk my job as a janitor just to listen to new music from one of the biggest bands in the world, which probably less than 10 people have heard up to this point. My job is way too important to risk that. I wouldn’t turn the computers on, and I certainly wouldn’t try to enter passwords to access the music. I wouldn’t try to enter obvious passwords like names and birthdays. And I wouldn’t realize that there would probably be a much more difficult “strong” password with letters and numbers, and I wouldn’t try to enter something like ‘g00p_4_l1fe’ or ‘g00p_1s_lame’ (knowing the password choice would depend on someone’s mood on the day the password was created). Nope, I definitely would never try to access those computers. Never. Really. Throughout the studio and the upper levels of the Beehive, in addition to the atrocious array of plants, instruments are scattered everywhere. There are plenty of the usual suspects: guitars, drums, a few pianos and keyboards of various sizes. But there are also lots of other unusual, unsuspecting instruments. I won’t go into too much detail, but I will tell you this: I’m “a little concerned” about the vuvuzelas. I’m really hoping they were just left here after the World Cup, and not actually being used for anything. Most of them are gathered near this window on the upper level. I can already feel it; tomorrow there are going to be at least 6 fangirls pacing around the building trying to figure out which window this is. Ugh. Although they took much care to lock up their digital files, I noticed that they didn’t remove the possible tracklists posted on the wall. Of course, there’s no way to tell which track titles refer to lyrics (like Yellow), and which appear to just be random or have an “implicit meaning” (like Parachutes). Maybe you all can help me out. Well, this has been oodles of fun, but I really should get back to my janitorial duties. Since the end of August is fast approaching, my service in the Beehive will soon come to an end. So although this is my first blog, I suppose you can also consider this my last blog as well. Hopefully you will refrain from asking the Oracle (for the umpteenth time) when Roadie #42 plans to post his next blog. R#44I got a big black cat in my living room No really though, that's cool if you saw something puma/jaguar-ish. I'm not sure I'd know what to do if that happened to me!I wanna watch that show! Sounds awesome. Yes my original thought was that Coldplay should be higher, but looking at the artists above them, I can't complain too much. Quite frankly I'm surprised they ended up higher on the list than Earth, Wind and Fire and the Bee Gees. EDIT: Wait, it says numbers 6-11 are ranked. So are the rest of them just in random order, or is that really the final list?In celebration of my 2,000th post :dance:, I give you some Will picspam... piano Will techno Will wooh-ooh-ooooh-ooh-ooh-oh Will scarf Will toodles Will studio Will your-guitar-isn't-as-shiny-as-mine Will :bomb: Will babeh Will Viva Will more Viva Will "how you doin'?'" Will mmmph Will even more Viva Will dangit, Jonny's (well, I suppose Jason's) guitar is blocking Will but that's okay . . and one of my favorite Will smile pics :nice:I still don't know who Jazz is, and I don't see anyone on the member list named simply Jazz. Who is this?I like how you said Pest in peace instead of Rest in peace Really though, who/what are we talking about?a pat on the back and a congratsI saw this episode the other night, and it reminded me of this thread. :lol: [ame= ] [/ame]In regard to Lions payroll: Cool. If you can swing it, I'll take it. In regard to 3 tickets, etc.: So who would be the other 2 people accompanying me? In regard to the Charger: Actually, I've already got a 2006 Hemi R/T Charger with over 90,000 miles on it; it's my babeh. Thanks for the offer, though. I'll give you a "congratulations" and a :kiss:what will you guys give me if Detroit wins the Superbowl (and dont't say the "blue stuff", BV)...Seriously, you don't want to know the question that I asked the Oracle recently. I doubt she'll answer, but HayZeus Christmas people...soccer WillI think she looks more like none of themwelcome :nice:
