Learned'd 3 - The Legend Continues - NSFW

[ADDirishboy]

They just showed an overhead of it on the news. Looks like a dude in a vette lost control pretty bad. Most of the front end is demolished. Holy s***! Probably driving like a tard. God damnit I so wanna be there.

[Mr1der]

bring a shovel!

[AppleBonker]

Honestly Tyler, most first responders are happy to help people. But the vast majority of them do not want to see people mangled and injured. You honestly have some issues.

[ADDirishboy]

When did I say I wanna see people all twisted up in the wreckage? I wanna see the f*** up cars! If they need heli's, that means it was pretty bad. Probably had to use spreaders to get them out. That's cool s***. It sucks when where is a dead body you gotta move though.

[Encryptshun]

Is there a psych eval for doing what you want to do, Tyler?

The word "Dexter" comes to mind.

[AppleBonker]

Simple physics. Pretty tough to completely mangle a car without doing damage to the passengers.

Lol. I love that damn show. Come on season 5!

I honestly don't see what wrong with loving that adrenaline rush. Being the first on scene, busting out the jaws of life, or getting on that hydrant so you can get some water on the fire. Its a great feeling. Do I wanna help people? Yes, of course I do. Is that the reason I'm in this line of work? Hell no. I want the adrenaline rush that comes with the job. I want the glory, to be the one who pulled a puppy out of a fire.

First day of the academy we went around giving the reasons we wanted to be firefighters. One of the guys said to help people. The instructor IMMEDIATELY called s***. Why? Cause 99% of the time, that is s***. Yes, we want to save people, but that is just a by-product of the real reason: the rush and glory of it all. Is that selfish and messed up? Yes. But at the end of the call, after we put out the fire and just pulled grandpa out of the house, does the reason why we do it really matter?

[AppleBonker]

The reason doesn't matter, as long as the job gets done. You just sounded like you had some sick addiction to seeing mangled bodies. THAT was my concern.

[Mr1der]

lol

I'd probably say p**** and free drinks.

I might try getting in the NFD in a year or so...

[AppleBonker]

Is anyone else as impressed with google instant search as I am? What a sweet new feature. The nerd in me is rejoicing at the awesomeness.

[ADDirishboy]

I don't much care for mangled bodies. Do I like them? No. Do I dislike them? Not really. Sadly, something awfu? Usually has to happen to someone for us to get a call.

And james, the p**** is another good perk haha.

Well, since you won't be using that, maybe you can negotiate a little extra pay instead.

I don't see anything different from what it was before...

Lou, it searches as you type - real time. So it'll start posting results without you actually having to click "search". As your search string changes, so do the results.

Let me post two awesome older songs:

Holy crap. Someone not from St. Louis who has heard of The Urge???

Midget basketball FTMFW

And both groups are awesome live. Or at least they were...

[Mr1der]

I miss ska...

think I'm gonna throw on the Streetlight Manifesto station on pandora.

[Encryptshun]

I once made the mistake of descrbing The Urge as ska. Almost got butchered by a bunch of St. Louisians in Doc Martins and fauxhawks.

[AppleBonker]

You mean people out there haven't heard of the Urge? That song is simply epic. I honestly could listen to it in my car with the stereo on full tilt for weeks straight.

[Encryptshun]

Surprisingly no. I grew up and went to college in Missouri, so I had a lot of friends from the St. Louis area. That's how I first started listening to them and saw them in concert (at a small party, even -- they are AWESOME live). This would have been like 1993 - 1995. People up here are all like "Smashing Pumpkins blah blah blah". Smashing Pumpkins can unroll my foreskin.

[AppleBonker]

I dunno man, I'm a huge Pumpkins fan. Be careful.

How about these dudes? Pretty sure this song got occasional radio play:

then what the hell are they?

[AppleBonker]

Also Chad, I wasn't listening to much rock at that point. My parents didn't particularly like the lyrics of the popular rock/rap songs around '93. Granted, I was only like 9... Closer to 13-14 was when I started to find stuff (hence me being familiar with Jump Right In as I was 14 I think when that album was released).

[Encryptshun]

James, I believe the term in use at that time was "neofunk".

fack I feel old now

[AppleBonker]

Sorry, wasn't the goal there Chad. I just wasn't open to all the awesomeness from back then. I'd love to go back and be old enough to have experience the grunge movement. Hell, I'd give a couple of digits to go back in time to see AIC perform their unplugged album.

[Mr1der]

neofunk....

they sound like Sublime...

people that make up all these stupid subgenres of music need swift kicks in the d!ck.

[AppleBonker]

The okcupid blog post I showed you, Chad, has now been reposted as its own thread. I love how all this s*** originates in learned'd first...

[nissangirl74]

Hi guys! I just finished my homework, I'm off to school. Just wanted to stop in to say Hi. Also, I can't get this song out of my head. Oh well, at least it's a good one. Later!

[AppleBonker]

WTF?!? I don't picture Bex listening to Disturbed. Odd...

[Encryptshun]

She married Greg -- how can she not like teh Disturbed'd?

And James, yes.

And Adam, yes.

[AppleBonker]

Well, I can't picture Greg listening to disturbed either...

Or were you implying that Greg is, himself, disturbed?
