Well… I’d start my own pub but all my threads end up dead… I’ll just bring some earplugs or something 🙂 ---

Speaking of NIN, did anybody think the killer video in The Ring looked like a bad NIN music video? ---

LOL **soulburnz** , I’ve always had this fantasy of doing a striptease for a boyfriend to that song. Or doing something ELSE to that song. errrrg, DAMN you **Davebear** , now it’s going to be MUCH more difficult to stay away from Luke. 🙂 ---

I _love_ that song (I love all their songs) … Every so often that cd ends up background music 🙂 Happy days. Canvas… save the fantasy for a guy you’ll stay with… you’ll just end up with guilt attached to it if ya dont _hug_ ---

I love “hard” (hehe…) music as the background for so called “activities.” NIN, Tool, System of a Down - fond memories of each - and it’s not necessarily music I’d listen to normally (I’m more a punk fan in everyday life). It’s just so much better, than, say… Barry Manilow. “I wanna feel you from the…” How can you not love that??? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by CanvasShoes \* > \*\*Hmmmph, **Davebear** might change his mind about NIN if he knew how well “Closer” helped ladies shed their inhibitions mmmmMMM? \*\* Nope. It wouldn’t do me any good to be surrounded by nekkid women if all I wanted to do was rip my own eardrums out. I suppose earplugs might be an option. Or, maybe LOTS of Tequila. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by soulburnz \* > \*\*I was just thinking that. \*\* Hey, **soulburnz**. Welcome to the Pub! I understand you’re a friend of Dreamer’s.

I dunno dave, The Copa … Copa Cabana… doesn’t inspire me, so I can’t see it inspiring Canvasshoes… 🙂 ---

But making you violent is half the point, at least for me (within reason of course). But enough talk, I need to go out tonight, methinks 😉 ---

But enough talk, I need to go out tonight, methinks 😉 \*\* No, I mean _really_ violent. Not just sexually aggresive. Violent. Abusive. I don’t like being that way. And, I’m too old, and out of shape, for bar fights. Especially since everyone seems to pack weapons, these days. Not that it would stop me. ---

I emailed Dave the lyrics for “Closer” maybe it will “enlighten” him. hehe 😃 ---

Wow and NIN makes me happy… if I’m having a bad day or something it cheers me up… Oh and the romeo and juliet soundtrack (for the totally …ed up movie with leo dicaprio … yeah yeah I know but it does make me happy!) Floyd makes me mellow… as does tom petty… or alicia keyes… And my cd player just got killed for Bear in the Big Blue House… no more music for me tonight I guess ☹ ---

My first gf (a swallower, to keep it on thread) threw me away to Buffet’s **A1A** album. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by soulburnz \* > \*\*I emailed Dave the lyrics for “Closer” maybe it will “enlighten” him. hehe 😃 \*\* No, they were pretty much what I thought they were. Ugly. But, I appreciate the effort. It’s really more the music, than the lyrics, that bothers me. It’s a visceral reaction. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by tanookie \* > \*\*Wow and NIN makes me happy… if I’m having a bad day or something it cheers me up… > > Oh and the romeo and juliet soundtrack (for the totally …ed up movie with leo dicaprio … yeah yeah I know but it does make me happy!) > > Floyd makes me mellow… as does tom petty… or alicia keyes… \*\* Oh, sure! And, you’re giving _me_ grief. :rolleyes: How about dirges? They make you wanna dance, too? Floyd’s fine, although I got sick of it, from overexposure, a long time ago. I have some tolerance, these days. I like Petty. But, _Romeo and Juliet? The movie soundtrack?_ How is that any better than Manilow? > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by waddamaroon \* > \*\*Hey Davebear: Check out flybynight’s location.

Welcome to the Pub! 🙂 Flyboy _may_ be a Buffet fan (though I doubt it), but I think he’s actually from California, from some of the things he’s said. Not sure where the southeast part comes from. And, I appreciate the effort to stay on topic, but I don’t understand that last phrase. “Threw me away”? ---

Good evening y’all! **Davebear** , I have missed you something terrible. Life just hasn’t been quite as fulfilling since I’ve been gone, and haven’t talked dirty with you. ::smooches:: Has this topic taken a turn towards music? I came back in here, and it’s a little different? I can roll with it though 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/spit-or-swallow-a-followup-poll-tmi/165070.md?page=46) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/spit-or-swallow-a-followup-poll-tmi/165070.md?page=48)
