Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I vote for home going.

It's ages since I found a good bargain.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

When does a song become an "oldie"? Because I'm suddenly struck by the thought that "In a Big Country" is an oldie.

I can't cope with that.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I can't cope with that.

It means that you are old. Old and decrepit. Cranky about the crunk.

Mostly lurking...

Someone make my tummy and head aches go away.

ION, I just made spa appointment for next week. I'm getting a massage, manicure and pedicure. I can hardly wait. Oh, and just in case there was any doubt, this is all because I have the best roommate ever.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oldies radio stations keep adding extra years onto their playlists, and it freaks me out. Music from the 80's? Not oldies.

It might be a classic, but I don't think it's an oldie, yet. Based on my rigorous yet highly subjective standards formed by listening to AM radio in my youth.

Jessica? Also now old. Come sit with me by the fire with a blanket on your lap.

Electromagnetic candy! - Stark

Geh. Kids These Days(TM). I work surrounded by people not born when I graduated from highschool.

Mt. St. Helens burped yesterday, I waxed nostalgic about the Big One 25 years ago, and got a wall of blank stares.

"You remember that? I read about it in school."

GAH.

"In a Big Country" is not oldies music.

HANDEL is oldies music - as in "old", not "for old people".

My grandmother (*rest her soul*) listened to synthsizer music until the day she died, as the logical progression of the keyboard.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

Yeah, somewhere, without our consultation or permission, 80's music went from "Retro", which has a nice, hip ring to it, to "classic," or even "oldies."

I vote we find these wankers and beat them to death with our canes and walkers.

Not old, just pedantic. To me, "oldie" connotes a certain flavor of rock that didn't make it past 1979 intact. After that, you need a different word. "Classic" might work.

Also, get off my lawn.
