Both Oscar Gamble and Neil DeGrasse Tyson are greats, but these guys came long before.
 
Okay...so I assume that I am going to get some flack from some Kid Rock fans...but I just can't take it anymore...

RANT Start...

How in the Heck Can One Singer Completely Destroy Two Classic Songs!

Sweet Home Alabama & Werewolves of London are CLASSIC Songs!

Okay...Rant Over

I prefer the version sung in the style of Elvis Presley.

Yeah, I thoroughly enjoy following other's lead, learning about something new. But yuck to Kid Schlock.

Never paid attention to anything Kid Rock before in my life, just assumed (I was an old fart, and) it was totally weak.....And now, on first exposure, find myself thinking....."likely won't try any of that again, because it's so weak."

Thanks for ruining all of those songs for me, kct75!!!!!!!!!!:mad:;):p

And Mike, haven't had the time to follow your lead yet, but all I ever think when Elvis is brought to mind is This.:D Sorry, video kinda' weak, best I could find for now.

Almost embarrassed I haven't had something angry and venomous to vent spleen about recently.........Doesn't usually take me this long to get furious and ranting. I'll try harder tomorrow.:mad:

Never liked Elvis. If you wanted an original, it was too bad that Buddy Holly died in the plane crash. I have the Rolling Stones doing "Not Fade Away"

I wish that MID had been a more popular format 25 years ago. Kept looking through songs of this area for no vocals.
You can't compete in a straight skating competition and use vocals.

The standard ring tone on my phone is the MID of Cocaine. It's loud.
 
Two weeks ago:
Dear person at work, your requirements are really, really wrong. Please look at them and update/remove the bit that's not right. I'm going on vacation soon and my testing is complete (based on what it should be doing!) so I'd like to finish this up before I go. (and let's not even think about why the coder never noticed this or simply ignored the whole thing, we just won't go there)

Later that week (with cc's to everyone under the sun):
Dear person at work, hello?!?!!

Friday before vacation (with more cc's):
Dear person at work, anyone home? Hello!!??! Can you friggin' look at this?

This morning, after my week off:
Dear person at work, I see you still haven't looked at this. Get the fargin' requirements updated so I can move it along on time, it's getting close now.

A few minutes ago:
Dear Clemmy, you're right and it needs to be updated. Dear other person at work, can you please update the requirements so Clemmy can finish up?

Ummm. It would have been nice to forward/cc/include the other person who is actually going to do the updating! OMG, you never forwarded it to him!!

A minute ago, in an instant message:
Dear person at work, can you please get your head out of your @$$ and include the other person? OMG

I sometimes don't like the people I work with. UGH and OMG!

It is difficult to convey sarcasm with the written word. I am sure you got the gist. Where do I find the "snide, sarcastic, passive-aggressive" thread?

Ah got you. Sorry, I have enough trouble reading people face to face. I haven't got a chance in hell with internet forums.

Eye contact? What's that? You mean allowing another human being to peer directly into my soul.. I don't think so.

Yeah that kind of thing, you know, facial expressions, body language. All too subtle for me I'm afraid :confused: ;)
 
I don't care. I'd like to, but I don't get paid to.

Really, I voice my concerns occasionally, but the bottom line is clear: it's not in my job description, and it certainly isn't in my paycheck, so it is not happening.
