Mama said announcements are like farts ... you don't know when it will come or how good it will be

So how does wet farts equate to your mama's wisdom?

it all depends if you like 'em dry or wet ... either way you never know how good it is until it's over

[WizardBeast]

Relax, announcements will come


SOON...

yeah, i mean they have to! relax and have a beer or whatever!

I think they're gonna sneak the remaing bands onboard,
have them hidden in their cabins and not announce them
until they are on stage.

i honestly they think it's hilarious that people get this worked up. relax, we'll have bands....

People get bent out of shape over McNuggets, which I think cost like 2 bucks.

The lack of announcements sucks, but the lack of ALL news is off-putting to say the least. Now rumors of a cancellation from a band....if we hear about a cancellation before we hear about an announcement that would be just cruel

This is my viginal cruise so I can't draw upon last years expereince to quell my anxiety. Yep, I've heard that last years was amazing/outstanding/perfect/the most metal expereience ever.....which is why I booked :)

So like most everyone, my expectations are super high. Getting news on a semi-regular basis would help re-moisten our collective vagina that is presently filling with jagged crystaline quartzy sand of the most razorlike variety

Keep in mind that that is just a rumor. Could it be true? Maybe. Could also be false. There have been many "positive" rumors that haven't come true as well. Don't trust too much until you actually get the official word on it. If it is true, yes, it would suck and hopefully something will immediately be put into place to equal whoever leaves, but no use fretting too much over it without knowing any details.

jagged crystaline quartzy sand of the most razorlike variety

I hate to pull out my geology nerd card here, but generally a sand or sandstone that is composed highly of quartz material would be produced in an upper shoreface/beach or aeolian environment, which are high energy environments, and the sediment itself undergoes a large amount of transport distance and time, being reworked and eroded constantly, which generally means that then sand itself features a limited amount of framework grains and ends up being rather uniform and rounded, yielding a 'softer' feeling sand as a result.
/nerd


But, you're right, no matter how well-sorted and well-worked that sand is, it still feels terrible in a vagina.

Best post I have ever read on here!!!



I LOVED geology in college. I took it just for a filler course and wound up becomign totally engrossed in it. Almost changed my major, but fear kept me from doing so.

Anyway, great info here!

Glad you liked it, haha.


As for Geology, It's cool you took an interest in it. I ended up getting my geology degree just back in '10 and now I work as a full-time exploration geologist for a south american oil company. It's a really cool job! I think the natural world and geologic processes are fascinating.

Is your company hiring GIS techs? I'm tired of my job.

Are you a geographer? I have my master's in Geographic Information Science...i dont' use that stuff at my job though.

No I got a diploma in geomatics mapping and then an applied degree (geographic information systems). Right now I just manage Calgary's GIS database of traffic signs.

i can see that being boring. i managed maintenance maps of the park system in cleveland for a while, and also maps of flight patterns for aerial photographing flights, then some maps i can't talk about due to security reasons.

i'm out of the map biz these days. we actually MAKE the satellites that provide the imagery i used to work with (world view II)

That would be way more interesting I think! I might need to upgrade my education to get a job like that though

yeah, the master's degree is not required but certainly an advantage in aerospace, at least in my experience.

die hiesigen Festivals sind schon voll mit geilen band´s!!!
hast du den ganzen sommer verschlafen und nicht bemerkt das der ablegezeitpunkt immer näher kommt??? ich möchte nich nur Bier trinken auf dem kahn sondern auch noch ein paar gute bands sehen und hören, weil Bier trinken kann ich auch zu hause vorallem ist das um einiges billiger.
also streng dich an.

grüsse aus home of Mercedes Stuttgart/Germany

[Stained Class]

Here's what google translate came up with

Hi Andy,

come finally to boil and fill the line up on!
the festivals here are already full of horny tied's!
have you missed the whole summer and not notice the time of depositing point is coming closer? I want nich only drink beer on the barge but also see a few good bands and hear, because I can drink beer at home also manly is a lot cheaper.
So you strictly follow.

greetings from home of Mercedes Stuttgart / Germany

[Ingrid]

Horny tied's

[X-Thor]

Do we need a safeword for announcement bitching too?

[mfrap]

its odd to find a german person these days that doesnt speak fluent english

[Ingrid]

No!! It's not!!!

Germans generally don't speak English thát well.
Main reason is that they dub e-ve-ry-thing on television, but also in cinemas.

[mfrap]

everywhere i went while i was there most ppl spoke it quite well other than elderly ppl. also all my german freinds have better grammar in it than even i do haha. then again i only travelled southern states and austria so maybe they use it more down there?

[Stained Class]

I found that when I was among metalheads pretty well everyone spoke English and there was never an issue, but when I was walking around in Hamburg there weren't that many random people that knew English. Is that a fair assessment Ingrid?

[Ingrid]

Hm, well I live in the Netherlands, but I live next to the German border, so I'm a lot in Germany (cause everything is cheaper there, and there's much more metal than there is right here)
I think 'here' in the Ruhrpott, English is ok, cause there's more industry, but the more you go to the east, the worse it gets. The Berlin Wall might already be down for quite some years, the differences between east and west are still there.

Ofcourse if you travel and you go to all the more tourist places, everybody speaks English very well.
But for example: on festival, the security guys, who just live their normal German lives look pretty scared when I ask them if they speak English.

Now I won't say that Germans speak 'terrible English' (though their accent is funny ) .. but Germans and fluent English ... nah-ah!!!

(and I don't say this to make them look stupid, Germany is my second home and I really love it/them)

[mfrap]

Alot of my friends are young and most are students. Maybe this is why they speak it well. I was in a few touristy spots but they were populated mostly by japanese tourists, which was weird to hear them speaking german since i speak a little. in alot of the small towns i didnt have much trouble at all finding people who spoke it, and most replied back to me in english when i spoke german to them (which says alot about how good my accent is i guess haha). ive never been north of bavaria other than a day or two and i was travelling with friends at that time so didnt really talk to any locals.
