I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

I'm not a fan of Cookie Monster singing. This can be a problem when listening to my station on Pandora for, well I'm not sure what it is called, symphonic metal with female vocals, goth metal, epic doom metal, whatever. Any Cookie Monster singing gets a quick thumbs down. This has led to a steady improvement in the station.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Heh, yeah, Gud, I used to get Cookie Monster singing on my station until I thumbsed enough of it down.

Fortunately Hubby knows I can't stand his death metal so he listens to headphones. FauxPods were a great discovery in our house. He has to have music playing to fall asleep, and I much prefer quiet.

Death Metal singing being referred to as Cookie Monster singing is making my day, dudes.

Pandora also has taught me that there are approximately a zillion sub-genres of metal.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So I have no idea, really. I just want a job.

I hear you. Continued good luck!

Ditto! I wish I knew exactly what they were talking about.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I wish I knew exactly what they were talking about.

Cookies?

I think of it as singing in the traditional rough demonic voice.

I bet those singers all have Tiny Tim speaking voices.
