RandomAnthony | 14536 comments Straight from Gustavo's facebook feed, an article about a huge Jesus statue getting struck/destroyed by a lightning strike...

What would you like to see lightning strike?

So it looks like Big Butter Jesus melted.

Regis Philburn should get struck. And the traffic camera at College and Drake, please.

Phil | 11837 comments I'd like to see Kobe Bryant strike like lightning.

Cambridge (hsquare) | 509 comments Dang it, Phil you're killing me. ;)

Cosmic Sher (sherart) | 2234 comments Phil... I'm sooooo with you. (As long as none of my family was there at the time)

It's interesting to me that no one made the remark "God struck down an idol" or something similar. If it was a giant golden calf or a replica of the band KISS, you know there would be many "God givin' it to those sinners" statements.

I think I'd like lightning to strike Wall Street... or maybe the HQ for Monsanto.

The houses of each member of the Black Eyed Peas.

Cosmic Sher (sherart) | 2234 comments Really? I'll have to go back & read those. They make me laugh.

Clark, seriously? I love the Black Eyed Peas... they were great in concert.

Not my cup of chai. Call me old-fashioned, but there's still something infinitely charming about groups who can actually play an instrument as opposed to lip synching in front of an army of background dancers whose sole purpose is to distract from the fact that they really can't sing, write songs, or do much of anything without all the smoke and mirrors.

Fuck that noise...

But the kinder, gentler Clark fully accepts your opinions and tastes and your right to listen to whatever you want.

That freedom is part of why living in America is so great. It may suck here, but it sucks a whole lot less than anywhere else.

I'd gladly volunteer to install a lightning rod on Prince's roof.

Cosmic Sher (sherart) | 2234 comments Now that I would watch while eating popcorn!

I will refrain from actually defending the BEPs by stating that they write all their own songs & music, and they don't lip synch. They are actually fully fledged musicians, believe it or not. Yep, I'll refrain... and respect your opinion to distain any fucking noise you feel violates your eardrums. I'm sure Lionel Richie appreciates your continued support. ;)

Then I stand corrected. But I could've sworn my daughters were watching them on some awards show and SOMETHING sure sounded pre-recorded. It just sounded too tarted up to be live.

Reminds me of that whole controversy 30 years back about ELO using pre-recorded backing tracks when they performed live. I think some hopless no-lifers even filed a class-action lawsuit against them.


message 17: by [deleted user] (new)

LOL. Hand over the popcorn Cosmic Sher so I can sit back and watch you and Clark fight it out. In the politest possible way of course.


Jackie "the Librarian" | 8991 comments Hah, Clark's attitude reminds me of this quote from Buffy (and yes, I will drag Buffy into the discussion on the slightest of pretexts, why do you ask?).

Giles has been babysitting Dawn...

Giles: Dear god, Buffy, there's only so much I can take. We're going to have to change the system. A fourteen-year-old's too old to be babysat, and it's not fair on her.

Buffy: What'd she make you do?

Giles: Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance ... then we ate cookie dough and talked about boys.

Oh Gawds, what more of a hell could you put a man through?

Gail, (passing the popcorn) I'm not going to fight it out with Clark because I respect his opinion, and I'll gleefully go on loving the BEPs because they make me wanna get up and shake my booty! (Plus, I secretly loved Lionel Richie in the 80's for the same reason... Dancing on the Ceiling, anyone?)

Clark, okay I'm not saying it isn't possible, cause who knows with the uber-famous types. Let's just all agree to disagree, and sing to Barry Manilow tunes to perk us all the hell up. :D At the Copa, Copa Cabana!

Heidi (heidihooo) | 10825 comments This thread makes me sad. :(

I could understand wanting an eyesore of a place or a thing struck by lightning.

I just don't get wishing serious harm to another person, though... especially one I don't know personally.

I know, I know... I'm sensitive.

RandomAnthony | 14536 comments I don't know. I think it's the symbolic idea of lightning striking something as poetic justice, if you will, that's key here. And I don't think denying that desire, if it's present, is healthy. I'm not going to pretend that, say, I don't wish...let me think...the BP executive's house doesn't get struck by lightning.

I hear you. And spiralling completely off topic, the use of teleprompters during live performances seems like another signpost on the road to Armageddon.

Kevin  (ksprink) | 11469 comments if i had a teleprompter in real life i prob would not get in as much trouble with my mouth

A house is different from a person.

Me too. My mouth is often in motion before my brain is in gear. Oh well, if nothing else it forced me to learn how to fight.

If anyone - EVER - tries to get me to listen to or watch a performance by "Up With People," I vow to slowly, and with great malice, extract each tooth from that person's mouth, one at a time, with rusty pliers.


message 29: by RandomAnthony (new)

RandomAnthony | 14536 comments Yes, those groups are terrifying, I agree, Clark. They have one around here called "Kids from Wisconsin!" Here's a pic:

I don't think I need to say anything more.
