Ban Tilt!

“They name 'em for the constellation they shoot out of! The ones in August originate in Perseus.... The ones in mid-November originate in Leo.

How does it work with Astrological signs?  It's when the Sun is in that constellation, right?  Leonids in August would be reeeeally hard to see!  Tough on the eyeballs!   < G >”

“i see. sort of. astrological signs are sun based? there's a calendar thrown in somehow? the meteor showers are constellation based. mmmmmmm am i getting it? i should have stayed in college.

oh well.”

“I think this thread alone proves the value of keeping Tilt....any man who can go from Armpit Pubes to Astronomy that quick has to be an excellent thread degenerator.”

“If thread degeneration was an Olympic sport I'd be on a Wheaties box.


YAz, Pamela.... sortof.  Maybe the way to look at it is that they're Both based on the constellations.  The Astrology stuff is restricted to the twelve constellations along the ecliptic (the path the sun appears to take across the sky), but meteor showers can come from any direction. The point they seem to come from is called the radiant, and it also appears to move from night to night as Earth moves through the stream of meteors.  Those streams are pretty wide.... it can take weeks for us to pass through them.”

“LOL....Imagine if we allowed Competitive Degeneration at the Olypmics....You know, put hurdles in the middle of the Marathon, give the discus throwers javelines.”

“Then they'd stop and tell a few Rodney Dangerfield jokes, run the 100-yard Dash, and play the theme from Gunsmoke on the tuba.

If I were in charge, the decathlon would be a mess.”

“Its time for this one again!!

.....just because we love him!”

“rump rangers”

“an' Mister Fox, he lay low.”

“Hyway's just jealous because nobody wants his rump.

Sure puts the expression 'Rumpus Room' in a different light, doesn't it?”

“Come and get down with the Sickness...”

“Must be some that new stuff the children are into these days.”

“If it's too loud you're too old. :)”

“Please.  

The Who whould make the kiddies' ears bleed bright red.”

“nu metal never met a melody it couldnt ignore”

“If it's too loud you're too old. :)”

So get out now 'cause you've been told!”

“The Who made my 16 year old ears ring for several days in 1969.


Mahavishnu Orchestra at Constitution Hall was incredibly loud with Jan Hammer droppin' the hammer.”

“The point isn't how loud each band is, its how loud you will turn it up. When was the last time you turned the volume up to 11?”

“It goes to 11?”

“My Blues Junior amp goes to 12 and I will peg it now and then.

>8^b~~~

“rosey, tsk tsk tsk, how could you miss a spinal tap reference? Or, even worse, not know who spinal tap is.”

“You'll love this, then.

All the lyrics are there, too.”
