While we're on comic book cells:



I don't need to know, or want to know the back story behind this.

They say a picture paints a thousand words...

This is Robert Rauschenbergs 'White painting' on display at the MoMA:



🤨



Well... I've got at least two words... That's sh*t.

[j_tour]

Is anyone here named Robert Rauschenberg?

[perfect_pitch]

Is anyone here named Robert Rauschenberg?

You know that somewhere in the world is a pillock that can answer 'Yes' to that question... he just may not be a member here on this particular forum...

...which works for me as I think his art is a *** pile of pretentious drivel.

Hey p_p, good news!
You stand a chance at being the winner for a majority of the next few weeks!

No, seriously. Being a college student has it's benefits, but also finals exist.

Hey p_p, good news!

I had a chance of being the winner well before you stepped into the ring...

...but to avoid sounding like a prick - I wish you the best of luck for your exams and assessments.

Temporarily un-ignore-listed you just to see your response lol.
And thanks! Best of luck on beating j_tour for the next few weeks!

And to avoid picking favorites...

More like beating myself several times a day, as usual.  It's a burden.

You know if you do that too often it will make you go blind... and you get hairy knuckles.

Seriously??? You had (still have) me on the ignore list? That's not nice...

Didn't want to bet on the winning horse - did you? Thought you'd hedge your bet?

[liszt-and-the-galops]

Gasplamey wasn't the first to notice your strategy, and he (probably) won't be the last.
Re-ignored.

[perfect_pitch]

I joked about that a long time ago... I never actually ignored you. Sometimes I just don't have the energy to reply to everyone who has replied since I was gone, but that doesn't mean I ignore you.

I only have a couple of people on it - podesta being one, and another weirdo from years ago who claimed he was the chosen prophet of jesus and was going to damn me to hell for all eternity.

[j_tour]

Enough with the jibber jabber.  Less talking.  More picturing.

And plenty of pianists had hairy....well, anyway, they played pretty hairy pieces of music.

And some of them beat time with their foot, although not on stage.

Gotta explain everything to you people.  Jeez.

*** your picturing... your pictures are usually weird... like the one above.

Here's a quote from some very smart person.

Sometimes we make the process more complicated than we need to. We will never make a journey of a thousand miles by fretting about how long it will take or how hard it will be. We make the journey by taking each day step by step and then repeating it again and again until we reach our destination.

And what’s this?

Are you kidding me??  Common guys.   Mix it up in here.  I’ll start.  PP, you couldn't smooth a silk sheet if you had a hot date with a babe…. I lost my train of thought.

It really sucks that you can't put a YouTube link that also embeds the timestamp to start from...

Start at 4:00. Jerry Stiller is a *** legend.

You all are getting pretty excited over there.

Not really... I'm off to work for the entire weekend - but I'll be back Sunday night to wreck my dominion over this thread.

Well make sure you have some tissues to clean up after, or a towel.

[gasplamey]

I do not fear you, so I do not need these. Perhaps you are right about p-p though.

[j_tour]

Sure.  "Work."  Picking up a plastic bag taped to the side of the gutter of a building after paying some guy discreetly around the corner. 

You non-jazz players don't fool me.  You're all on the goofers and the uppers and the downers all the day is long.

Your nose is growing, you liar.

Try rehearsing with musicians all weekend. 30 hours worth of pay for 3 days. I'm knackered!!!

I still dislike p_p, but at least I spell his name right...

[gasplamey]

Wait, p-p is spelled with an _? I never knew! I will, from now on, always spell p_p with a -.

That's okay... I might decide to misspell your name. How about I spell Gasplamey as 'Y-O-U  P-I-L-L-O-C-K'.

There you go, you Pillock... Are we even???

If that's meant to be an emoji for an Owl... you suck.

[liszt-and-the-galops]

The US was invited to the Berlin Conference and maintained an attitude of "can we not colonize people?" This was strange, considering the US policy of "manifest destiny."

[perfect_pitch]

This frumpy *** is apparently the person 'destined' to lead America in about 5 months time.

If this is what people manifested... then they only have themselves to blame when the proverbial sh*t hits the fan... and then spews the mess all over them.

[j_tour]

The US should start a nuclear war with Russia.  Mutually assured destruction sounds fine with me.

And p-p should transcribe the five or so 32-bar choruses of Sonny Clark's piano solo on this at 2m02s.

&t=123s

Granted, I'm transcribing it with a guitar and writing it down, so not with the advantage of using a keyboard, but I don't have perfect pitch.

Haven't even got one chorus down yet.  This used to take me no time at all to write these out.

[perfect_pitch]

And p-p should transcribe the five or so 32-bar choruses of Sonny Clark's piano solo on this at 2m02s.

And what do I get out of doing you this favour???   

[liszt-and-the-galops]

The US should start a nuclear war with Russia.  Mutually assured destruction sounds fine with me.

(guesstimating follows)
~3/4 people would survive the first few hours
~1/10 people would survive the first week
~1/25 people would survive the first month
~1/100 people would survive the first 2 months
~1/5,000 people would survive the first year
Guessing that about 2 million people (out of currently 8 billion) would survive the nuclear winter and famine/other environmental impacts*. I doubt that you'll be one of those lucky .025% that survive; likewise for all the other people on this forum**. (p_p definitely wouldn't survive, based on his current post count of 8666. )

And don't anyone try to get out of it with "I live there so I won't be affected." It only takes about 100 nuclear bombs to cause a global nuclear winter, which pales in comparison to the amount possessed by the US and Russia alone, not even counting their allies. And that nuclear winter is the real killer. So you might live a little longer, but you're still doomed to an arguably worse fate.

*And that's probably a low estimate for the death toll.
**Correction: I ran the numbers, and about 6.7 people who have ever had an account on this forum would survive, on average. Assuming none of them have already died, which is obviously a false assumption.

[j_tour]

And what do I get out of doing you this favour???

You get to demonstrate your superior ability to transcribe accurately without the use of any tools but your ears and a pencil.

And that nuclear winter is the real killer. So you might live a little longer, but you're still doomed to an arguably worse fate.

So? 

People deserve it for allowing would-be and actual fascist dictators like VP, DT, Kim Jong whatsisface, and so many more demented freaks to rise to power.

I'm mother-f***ing Scottish. I could stand in a blizzard in nothing but a pair of shorts and a t-shirt and think it's 'mildly breezy'.

If it's Nuclear Winter - I'll outlive you all.

[liszt-and-the-galops]

I don't know exactly what p_p said, but I know that it probably had something to do with surviving a nuclear Winter.

So, p_p, how do you plan on surviving when it's below 0 (either temperature system), the food has all frozen over and is inedible, there's almost no sunlight, most/all of the water is contaminated with radioactive particles, your modern technology no longer functions, and 99.99% of humans as well as a sizable portion of the world's animals?
And that's assuming that you aren't killed by the direct effects of nuclear war!

[perfect_pitch]

I said I'd outlive you... I didn't specify by how long.

But while you mention it - I'm pretty sure that I'll survive the direct affect of nuclear war because no one is going to bomb the sh*t out of Australia. We don't have nuclear bombs, so bombing us would just be redundant. You bomb the countries that have the ability to retaliate... we don't have that.

[j_tour]

That's hate speech.  Spammers are people too.

That's nonsense.

But a clever inside joke on the plot of the movie *On the Beach*.  It got to Australia too.

[perfect_pitch]

That's hate speech.  Spammers are people too.

So are Neo-nazis, but we don't hold them in high regard either.

[liszt-and-the-galops]

That's hate speech.  Spammers are people too.

Putin is a person too, and you were just rambling about horrible he is; which, frankly, we all agree on.

That's nonsense.

That is some impressive correctness.

You are now.  Hoser.

Now fetch me a Labatt's blue, and make it cold.

I don't know what movie that's from... but damn, that guys forehead has it's own forehead, it's that big.

It is written.  That is a large forehead on Brack or whatever "his" name was in that ridiculous film.  The kids like it because they can mad dap and vape on it so it's neither cheugy nor sus, yo.

Don't worry, son, some day you'll capture find your own Britney Spears Brack.

Hey, though, could you do me a solid and transcribe the montuno from Cedar Walton's acoustic piano part off Joe's original recording of "Caribbean Fire Dance"? 

Eh, I think it's pretty simple, but Brack can't write it out accurately. 

I can, but I just don't feel like it.

I might take the ol' Jesus approach and say...

I help those who help themselves.

Ergo... do your own damn work and stop expecting other people to do it for you for free.     

Edit: They really need to adopt allowing the use of the Windows Emojis... the ones they have in this forum are limiting and lame... I'm pretty sure they're the same Emoji you could use on the 3DRealms forums back in 2004... 20 *** years ago.

I'm pretty sure that's something a nerd would say.

"My" "work" indeed!  Only you have the finely tuned ears at your disposal, to make what is drudgery for we mere mortals into child's play.
