Jobu Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I want to know who voted for the stain in their shorts. It should have zero votes with that list of crap accompanying it.

"they're called the 'mats, because early critics derogatorily referred to them as the placemats, which the band and the fans took back and turned into an endearment.

"they're called the 'mats, because early critics derogatorily referred to them as the placemats, which the band and the fans took back and turned into an endearment. that's one theory of the 'Mats genesis. though unsure if it were actual "critics" of the band. the Replacements were very much darlings to the critics, but had difficulty registering much sales. in fact, it's possible that the Replacements themselves coined the tag because they are very well known for their self-depricating ways. just check out some of the t-shirt slogans that came out of their last tour -- "Hate Us on Facebook" -- or what they're calling their upcoming tour: "Back By Unpopular Demand." either way, no Replacements fan that I know of ever considered the 'Mats to be derogatory. rather, it has been celebrated, because of how they've succeeded despite their very many failures. jw

And these guys write music?
NoSaint Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I want to know who voted for the stain in their shorts. It should have zero votes with that list of crap accompanying it. You should see the stain....
sodbuster Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Had a hard time deciding between Creed and Nickelback, and ended up settling on the 'back. The thing about the stain on the shorts is that a cup of bleach could solve that problem. Actually, it could probably take care of those crappy bands too.

/dev/null Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 die thread die Seriously, when I come here and one of the first threads I see has Nickelback and NSnych in the title, it makes me ill

Chef Jim Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 how are telemarketers not the worst? Because they never call anymore??
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Because they never call anymore?? lucky you! I get at least 1 call weekly in up to 3 phones. home / cell / work cell
Jobu Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 lucky you! I get at least 1 call weekly in up to 3 phones. home / cell / work cell How I deal with unsolicited calls. 1. Give them a good Sam Kinison scream and then hang up. 2. Repeatedly say "no habla ingles". If the telemarketer starts speaking spanish (they rarely do) then switch to "no habla espanol". Rinse repeat.

Chef Jim Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 lucky you! I get at least 1 call weekly in up to 3 phones. home / cell / work cell Step one: Dump the land line Step two: Caller ID. Sure I get them on my cell but I just don't answer and are too stupid or bad on the phone to leave an intriguing message.
