Well... you see those big rocks in the middle of the sea in my gallery?
Well... (again) this is the sign at the start of the footpath that leads to them... and it means... umm... 'If you go to near the edge, you might slip/fall/get pushed... to your death'

Well... (yes again) thats what it most probably means

For example. It makes up for a pretty light show.
Other things interesting to put in microwaves are lightbulbs and CDs.

But be sure to use a microwave that is not yours.

Laverne, from "The Day of the Tentacle ", used to advice against it, alright. But it is a standarised method to defreeze rodents after a three-century cryogenization.

I knew -- I was just stressing the stereotype.

Actually, I usually drink my tea with no sugar nor sweeteners. And more for having something to sip than because it does me any effect... I don't seem to be very responsive to chemicals.

Sí, es un programa muy bueno y fácil de usar, por lo que me dicen.

i like pink floyd in general,
but my favourite has to be the wall.
there's a lot of political aspects to it
and thats what i like about it.
i also like dark side of the moon,
but thats awfully cliche, dont you think?
it doesnt matter to me though.
thanks for stopping by my gallery.

Anarres In reply to LOVErhymeswith [2005-08-17 15:34:58 +0000 UTC]

You are most welcome.

Well, yes, I guess that calling for the Dark Side to be our favourite is a bit cliché... But then, it's true that it is a very good album.

As for me, I like all the Roger Waters era (that is, previous to him leaving the group), plus The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. The albums thay Gilmour made after Waters left them are, for mee, good instrumentally, but a bit too popish, not very innovative, and with poor lyrics.

I think I like the most the `Four Golden' albums: Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals (which many people don't seem to like, and I find wonderful) and The Wall (both the LP and the film soundtrack, and the film itself, of course).

You are right that The Wall has a lot of political content to it (and many people, again, fail to notice it, or interpret it wrongly). There's also the album they released afterwards: The Final Cut, which I think is rather interesting too in that political sense. It's not as good as The Wall, but it's nice nonetheless (kinda like a B-Side).
