Beastie Boys announce Swing State Voter Awareness tour!!!

[PeaceNikki]

YAY!! And they're coming to MILWAUKEE!!

my fellow americans,

we are going to do a few shows in hopes that we can remind people to vote. this election is too important, too much is at stake to stay at home. we hope that you can come out, have a nice night, dance, sing, get your freak on, and then wake up the next morning and get everyone that you possibly can to get out and vote. if they have early voting in your state then ask people to vote early, lets get everyone we can out there on election day.

we are very excited about obama. hope you all feel the same.
see you shortly,
adam, mike and adam

1. I'm so jealous.

I don't think they'll make it to Florida.

[PeaceNikki]

2. They might book FL.

OMG!! TENACIOUS D, too!?!? My Biznitch Is The Shiznit LIVE!? :rofl:

[Dangerously Amused]

6. Too bad you don't know anyone with a nice big house and room to spare

...in the Milwaukee area.

[LeftyMom]

7. Would you please stop throwing yourself at my boyfriend?

Jesus Tiffyfucking Christ, just knock it the fuck off already. It's rude.

[Dangerously Amused]

8. He likes flirting with me. I like flirting with him.

Put me on ignore if you can't deal with it.

[LeftyMom]

9. Your desparation makes him uncomfortable, and he's too nice to tell you so.

So I'm telling you. It's rude to him, disrespectful to me, and just plain inappropriate. Go flirt with somebody who is unpartnered and within shouting distance of your own age.

[Dangerously Amused]

10. LOL!

"Your desparation makes him uncomfortable, and he's too nice to tell you so." Wow, uhm... project much?


Anyhoo, my conversations with him are by no means "rude" and he is and always has been a very willing participant whether here, in PM or on the phone. Furthermore, I don’t believe the DU Rules grant you the authority to restrict or control my access to any third party here. Therefore, I will continue to engage him in conversation as I please.

I am getting tired of your petulance and insults, however. Put me on ignore already!

[LeftyMom]

14. Ignore gives you free reign to misbehave, which is why you're demanding it.

Just muster a little decency and consideration for once and kindly knock it the fuck off.

[Dangerously Amused]

15. "Misbehave"? Oh please. If I’m breaking a DU rule, you should alert on the post

...instead of trying to enforce your own set of “rules” regarding whom I may speak to, and what I may say. Here, I’ll even write it for you:

“Hey Mods!

The boy I like is flirting with the girl I hate in the Lounge, and it’s driving me insaaaaaaane!

Make them stoooooooop!" x(

[LeftyMom]

16. I'm just asking you to show some maturity and decency. I should have known that's too much to ask.

:eyes:

[Dangerously Amused]

17. Long live immaturity and indecency!

Especially mine!


:beer:

[DS1]

20. Hey, you did point out the spare room

:shrug:

[Dangerously Amused]

23. I know, right? Not to mention the fact that I am as pure as the driven snow.

By which I mean, snow that has been driven in. In New York City. Downtown. During rush hour. But I digress.

I mean, I know that I would stay in my room...

[DS1]

24. I use that same 'driven snow' bit but substitute the Mass Pike

I really doesn't make any sense to me.

rub some bacon over your door handle

[Dangerously Amused]

27. You really doesn't make any sense to me, either. :P

Yeah, it's an odd expression.



I've never heard it called a "door handle" before.

[DS1]

30. Well, there's plenty of odd expressions

no need to pick on one

okay, how about pre-paid AMEX card swipe?
*ducks*

[Dangerously Amused]

31. I like the older odd expressions.

I think a lot of the newer ones have jumped the shark already.


Ha! Cashola, pal. And no ducks. Unless they're the "rubber" kind, if you catch my drift.

[DS1]

33. Oh yes, even "Win" and "Fail" are kinda getting tiresome

They were cute at first, but maybe that's just me

and you'd better watch out for those Trojans rubber ducks sneaking in through the back door

[Dangerously Amused]

34. As are some of the Lounge "in" jokes, but again, I digress

Cute at first, yeah that's just you :)



i know. i'm hoping their little squeakers give me a heads up

[lizziegrace]

18. Head north. We'll have a Wisconsin meetup

:bounce:

[DS1]

3. Yeah, I'm going to all three Massachusetts shows

:eyes:

[terrya]

4. Good deal!!

That's excellent! :-)

[Felix Mala]

5. No Sleep 'till Denver!!! n/t

[Sheets of Easter]

11. Yay. But I'm just here for the upthread drama.

[PeaceNikki]

12. uh oh

[Sheets of Easter]

13. Your smilie. I stealz it.

[DS1]

26. www.onesmilieonebox.com?

yes, I know the :poopcorn:

[PeaceNikki]

28. HA!

[Fran Kubelik]

19. I love that they're doing this!!

:bounce:

[Forkboy]

21. They're even awesome when they aren't singing anything.

[PeaceNikki]

22. Wow, I've never seen that!

Thanks! :D

They are so cool. B-)

[Forkboy]

25. They have a whole album of just instrumentals.

The In Sound From Way Out. It has the instrumentals from Check Your Head and Ill Communication, plus some new tracks like the one I posted. It's cool just hearing the funky jams they do.

[PeaceNikki]

29. I have the album, never saw the video.

I can get lost on youtube for hours ans STILL miss about 8,626,989 cool things.

I really dig "Ricky's Theme" from that album. Very bluesy.

[Forkboy]

32. Oh

Nevermind.



:)

BTW, I love your sig line. Sadly, it's all too true.

[flvegan]

35. Correction: they have two.

ISFWO and The Mix-Up are both entirely instrumental. The Mix-Up won a Grammy, too.

[Forkboy]

36. Oh yes....you're right!!!!

I forgot about that. :banghead:

The Mix-Up won a Grammy, too.

And that explains why I forgot about it. :evilgrin:

[flvegan]

37. As the 4th Beastie Boy (sorry MixMaster Mike)

I'm compelled to keep any records straight.
