YOU WANT IT!?!....IT'S GONNA CO$T YA!!

ophelia by ophelia · Aug 11, 2003 · 571 views · Journal

So, as it turns out, most of us musicians are pretty absent minded...We forget stuff alot, to busy daydreaming about how our band's next song should be composed,and contemplating over whether that whole thing about how "girls dig guys who play guitar" is really true or not...A fellow victim of musician-senality, it seems that Dave, from step7/beside the white, had a memory lapse of some sort, and forgot a piece of his musical equipment @ hamilton on saturday.....I found it, & at first I'm like "alright I'll just hold until I see him again"..but, then, money signs started flyin through my head, and I realized, I could use this circumstance to get some moooolllaah....So, dave's forgotten equimpent is now gagged and strapped to a chair in a warehouse, and my question to you is, how much ransom money should I demand...like, what's reasonable..I don't want to go over board here

Your fooling yourself chicks did the bass player man.....

debassedbassist #1.1 debassedbassistOG 2003

LONG LIVE THE BOTTOM END!!!!!!!!!!!

ok4now #1.2 ok4nowOG 2002

dig???

ophelia #1.2.1 opheliaOG 2003

u talkin bout mudvayne??!...DUUUUDE...has to be the most bottom heavy metal band out there, love them guys....unlike most metal(or just "heavy music" in general)where the bass just acts as a lower octave of the guitar's part, mudvayne's bassist like does a COMPLETELY different thing along w/the guitar - almost funkish, even though it's still metalic

ok4now #1.2.1.1 ok4nowOG 2002

no. i just wondered whether or not chicks 'did' the bass player

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

I personally prefer the tamboreen player. They're better kissers.

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002

are you saying the guiro doesn't count?

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

Mmm..no I don't think that's what I'm saying.

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002

riiiiiiiiight...and by 'no i don't think' you mean 'yes'.

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

Yes, that's exactly what I meant.

ophelia opheliaOG 2003

oh....mudvayne has a song called dig..that's what i thought you were talkin about, haha

reaf #2 reafOG 2002

ha ha.. dave llanos?
Make your ransom pistachio ice cream, He'll do anything for that!

ophelia #2.1 opheliaOG 2003

better yet, I'll combine something that both dave and every guy on the planet likes, I'll fill a bathtub w/pistachio ice cream..and..girls....he'll like empty his whole bank account for that

skaorsk8 #3 skaorsk8OG 2002

i am dave llanos!!

skaorsk8 #3.1 skaorsk8OG 2002

incidentally, dave came up to me and asked if i had been impersonating him throughout the internet, and at various parties...i told him, "dude, watch out for a mexican named raoul from cranberry, because he thinks you made out with his girlfriend". good times.

fivezero #3.1.1 fivezeroOG 2003

i'm sometimes confused with Brian Boitano. i get it allll the time. they're like: "brian, how do you do it?" and i just say: "he gave me a gift, shecky, he gave me a gift."

debassedbassist #3.1.1.1 debassedbassistOG 2003

what would brian boitano do?

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

i'm not telling, man! do a google search or ask somebody!

tinser tinserOG 2002

isn't that the skater?

ophelia #3.2 opheliaOG 2003

lol, why're you always impersonating him, lol..I'm assuming it's some sort of satire

walkngplaygrnd #4 walkngplaygrndOG 2003

Speaking of forgotten equipment . . . I ended up with a fan, a hi-hat stand, and a Fender amp that were not mine at the end of the night . . . I wonder how much I should charge for their safe return . . . that is, if anybody wants to claim them . . .

debassedbassist #5 debassedbassistOG 2003

I think i left some bass equipment there anyone have any?

walkngplaygrnd #5.1 walkngplaygrndOG 2003

what are you missing sir? all I have are the three items I mentioned . . . except I believe the fan has been returned at this point . . .

debassedbassist #5.1.1 debassedbassistOG 2003

anything bass rtelated?

walkngplaygrnd #5.1.1.1 walkngplaygrndOG 2003

not as far as I know . . . but i can ask Guilderbell . . . he's the one who has all the stuff . . . actually I might see him tonite . . . i'll have to see . . . if i find anything I'll definitely let u know

debassedbassist debassedbassistOG 2003

actually i didnt play anything i was just tryin to get free stuff for my bass....

walkngplaygrnd walkngplaygrndOG 2003

ah . . . slick . . . yeah ummm . . . don't worry - I'm sure if anything bass-related was left, the guildebell bassist has claimed it as his own . . . sorry . . .

debassedbassist debassedbassistOG 2003

hahaha well i could always use free bass things

tesoro #6 tesoroOG 2001

nah, it's not just guitar...girls dig all guys in bands..well..i do..you see..if a guy has no hope..ie: he's a complete loser and looks like mr. potato head, then even a guitar or drums is gonna help him..but if he's average then give him some musical talent...just like that..he's hot....we discussed this topic thoroughly HERE

debassedbassist #6.1 debassedbassistOG 2003

chicks dig the bass player

tesoro #6.2 tesoroOG 2001

haha, me and Tina have talked about this multiple times...

isnt it strange how a guy/girl can be not so good looking but give him a guitar or drums or have a great voice and BAM! they are sexy! okay i'm embarrassed to even SAY this, cause he's SO not good looking but... come on...goldfingers lead singer...he's SEXY! not hot...totally different...any girls agree?! lol





Musing 17354 by: punk princess @ 02/11/2002 12:14 PM

#17280, it IS strange... cuz a guy could be totally ugly, then put on a guitar...and bam girls dig him! so weird!! but NO!!! the lead singer to goldfinger... SO ugly!! lol (you have to admit janner you used to think so too) seriuosly though... not good looking

forrestina #6.3 forrestinaOG 2002

yeah drummers are hot like adriene from no doubt hahahahah

walkngplaygrnd #6.3.1 walkngplaygrndOG 2003

drummers are generally unintelligent though, from what I've been told . . . and I hope MOST don't play naked . . . and I don't think it takes much musical talent or ability to play the drums, does it?

tesoro #6.3.1.1 tesoroOG 2001

oh crap! where is ryan...you should ask him this question..and ask him if he plays naked too.

walkngplaygrnd walkngplaygrndOG 2003

that's okay . . . I don't want to offend any actual drummers . . . oh wait, they probably wouldn't get it anyway . . . but i do hear it gets hot playing drums sometimes, so nudity is acceptable - but only if the seat is covered with plastic or something . . .

debassedbassist debassedbassistOG 2003

what do you call someone who hangs out with a bunch of musicians?

debassedbassist debassedbassistOG 2003

A DRUMMER!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA too all you drummers out there, I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!! except lars i hate you and your napster thing

bozo #6.3.1.2 bozoFounder

you don't think it take much musical talent or ability to play the drums? have you played the drums? can you make your right hand do a 32nd, your left hand do a 16th, left foot a whole, and right foot a fout an 8th coordinating all your limbs totally seperately and make it sound like it was all one flowing rythm. sure maybe i don't totally understand reading notes and where my fingers go on a certain fret or even which octive you should be in, but drumming for an hour at a show take more then talent; it take endurance, timing, rythm, concentration, and a heck of a lot of ablility. not too many people can play, ones that can may not even play well, but to play well that is a gift. But i'm sure you know that since you play.

walkngplaygrnd walkngplaygrndOG 2003

you got it, dude

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

you sound like michelle tanner

walkngplaygrnd walkngplaygrndOG 2003

here's some Full House for ya: how RUDE!

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

OK, Stephanie Tanner!

walkngplaygrnd walkngplaygrndOG 2003

I kinda feel ashamed that I actually used to WATCH that show . . . that may have been the most unrealistic show ever created . . .

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder walkngplaygrnd

dude, don't be ashamed. at the time it seemed cool. and perfect strangers was on right after

walkngplaygrnd walkngplaygrndOG 2003 thefunkyfresh

I recind my last comment . . . PERFECT STRANGERS was the most unrealistic show EVER . . . Larry and Balki . . . doing the "dance of joy" . . . how very very sad . . .

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder walkngplaygrnd

i was just thinking about old shows i used to watch and remembered HEY DUDE. then i suddenly realized that the girl that played Melody (Christine Taylor) is the girl that's in Zoolander and is apparently married to Ben Stiller as backed up on that crappy fan site.

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002 thefunkyfresh

she is sooo hot. i love her. wow. when zoolander fixes her hair...amazing.

yodasucka yodasuckaOG 2003 thefunkyfresh

O MAN! i loved that show..but mainly cuz "melody" had such a cool name! haha ;)

rocksupastar rocksupastarFounder yodasucka

nah, only lamers have that name.

ophelia opheliaOG 2003 rocksupastar

I used to have a major crush on her, like head over heals kinda stuff...NO MELODY THAT DOESN'T MEAN I HAVE A CRUSH ON YOU TOO...and remember that american indian dude?...the way I remember his voice it seems like it was quite reminisant of dan hill's...WILD & CRAZY KIDS ROCKED

yodasucka yodasuckaOG 2003 ophelia

NOT FAIR BOYS! i am not lame mike! thats it, we're not friends any more.. and bry- stop trying to deny your crush on me... how else would u describe the talk of our on and off dating for the past 5 years? lol

ophelia opheliaOG 2003 yodasucka

Oh that can be easily explained..our congregation has no life and so has to create fictious scandles to keep things interesting..example: the infamous Lance Fisher & Sister Lugo love affair..wait, that mighta been true

yodasucka yodasuckaOG 2003 ophelia

haha OMG i can't believe you just said that

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 ophelia

hahahahah make it stop make it stop

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003 thefunkyfresh

i used to love that show. just give me Bobby Budnik and Donkey Lips anyway. "camp Anawana, we hold you in our heart and when we think about you it makes me wanna..." oh nevermind..

ophelia opheliaOG 2003 fivezero

dude, there was like adult inuendo in that show, it rocked..i think the writers like went out of their way to sneak stuff in there..I bet if we watched that show NOW we'd pick up on a lot more than we did back in the day

tesoro tesoroOG 2001 thefunkyfresh

funny, i always hated Hey Dude..but i loved Salute Your Shorts which came on right after or before. another nick favorite of mine was Clarissa Explains it all, or or or Are You Afraid of the Dark...some of them were really scary!!!...at 13.

togatweeter togatweeterOG 2003 tesoro

the clown one scared me the most i think

tinser tinserOG 2002 tesoro

i wish they still played the reruns...it'd be nice to be able to sit back on a rainy day and watch them for the heck of it.

ophelia opheliaOG 2003 tesoro

HEY!!..I wasn't allowed to watch are you afraid of the dark, my mom insisted that it was supernatural and banned me from viewing it ...I'm sooo jealous...errr

tesoro tesoroOG 2001 ophelia

haha, the shows i wasnt allowed to watch were the simpsons, married w/ children, rosanne anddd oh yea..90210..but i'd sneak the last one..i was sucha rebel.

tinser tinserOG 2002 tesoro

yeah, i wasn't allowed to watch any of those either...or are you afraid of the dark

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 ophelia

same here they probably decided this togther while we were swimming in my pool-i declare mutiny!

theremin thereminOG 2002 thefunkyfresh

That's why she seemed so familiar. I was wondering where I recognized her from.

tinser tinserOG 2002 thefunkyfresh

yeah, that was definitely the coolest show of the early 90's

toxicgirlOG 2003

TGIF, the highlight of my week when I was still wearing neon colored clothing.

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

right on brandon. there's defintitely a shortage of good drummers. its amazing how a good drummer or bass player can offset unimpressive guitars, vocals, and lyrics

walkngplaygrnd walkngplaygrndOG 2003

can a good drummer really make everybody else sound better? i hope one day to be good enough for people not to notice how extremely NASTY (that's the "good" nasty, btw) my guitarist is then . . . though I doubt that's possible . . .

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

well alot of good bands don't have overly impressive drummers or bass players, i'm just saying that when they are amazing it stands out. look at bands like rage or weezer... awesome bands, but do u really notice the drums? they're not so special. or look at a band like green day... the guitar is so plain, the drums and bass totally make that band

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

in band from society, the drummer is the only one who gets chicks...that's what i heard from rachel, anyway...

rocksupastar rocksupastarFounder

i just think your hot bran....

tinser #6.4 tinserOG 2002

jahanna is overly biased towards musicians....i dont think all girls feel that way...heck, i dont think i do...for example, my variation: take an average guy and put him on a sports team: then he becomes hot.

skaorsk8 #6.4.1 skaorsk8OG 2002

see, mine is, take an average girl, make her 5'6, BAM! i'm attracted.

debassedbassist #6.4.1.1 debassedbassistOG 2003

dans is take an average girl and well any average girl will do so long as shes not made off milk products

tesoro #6.4.2 tesoroOG 2001

haha, yea, i think you're right. i was talking about this last night..it makes sense though..because i'm really into music therefore guys who are into it also are really atractive to me. you're more into sports...so guys who are into sports would be more attractive to you.

tinser #6.4.2.1 tinserOG 2002

yep, it makes sense. but, i also really like training whales, but not all guys who train whales are hot. why is that?

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

because they would have to be half nekid, or wearing scuba suits. no one is attractive in a scuba suit. except for the one and only dave llanos! (that's me!)

tinser tinserOG 2002

true, scuba suits aren't attractive....but hey, who said half nekid isnT?

ophelia opheliaOG 2003

well,hmm..i think there are a FEW things that can make half nekid extremely unattractive...
#1: excessive Love Handles


#2: excessive, sasquach like, chest hair (which I've been told is actually attractive to some girls..But not enough for me to start soaking my chest in rogain, I'm sure that these girls that find this attractive are a minority)


#3: Nasty skull and or snake tatoos(TATOOS ARE GROSS!!...well, hmm...I guess they can be cute if well placed, but, some fools go nuts w/that crap)


#4 Freakish Nipples(seen some crazy stuff in my day)

and last, but not least

#5 Outie belly buttons---ok, maybe this is just a pet peeve of MINE..but..I'm thouroughly freaked by these unnecessary protrusions

tinser tinserOG 2002

hahaha, yeah.....i totally agree....all those things are GROSS...and i'm not a fan of outie belly buttons either...so i dont think its a pet peeve

debassedbassist debassedbassistOG 2003

the hair seems to work for patrick GORILLA ARMS BABY!!!! gotta get me some of them

ophelia opheliaOG 2003

you're just jealous cause he has a smokin' girlfriend (LYNN=HOT) and so, you resort to petty insults to get back at him for having what you covet!...

debassedbassist debassedbassistOG 2003 ophelia

i just said i needs me some... so clever deduction Sherlock cause i already admitted it....

ophelia opheliaOG 2003 debassedbassist

you sure you weren't makin fun?..cause uh, I know I personally don't really desire to robin williamify my arms at all

debassedbassist debassedbassistOG 2003 ophelia

if they get me chicks ill take em...

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

Ugh ugh!! lots of hair is soo gross. I wish everyone was hariless save for their heads..and even then some people could be completely hairless. And outty belly buttons, what's wrong with them? Why do you they look the way they do? I don't appreciate them at all. tattoos are cool though.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

i think hair is good. keeps us warm. is it just me or is it hot when a girl has a lil hair on the back of her neck? just a lil trail...

walkngplaygrnd walkngplaygrndOG 2003 fivezero

yeah ummmmmmmm . . . its just YOU

ophelia opheliaOG 2003 fivezero

yeah, DUUDE, that's one of my biggest turn ons..& what's even better is when they have those full-on grandma mustaches!!....YEAAAHHH BABY, getin' me all tingly inside just thinkin about it...oh goodness, and SIDE BURNS!!..BRING ON THE SIDE BURNS!!!

Explosive back hair...rowrr

theremin #7 thereminOG 2002

Sell them tchotchkes!

skaorsk8 #7.1 skaorsk8OG 2002

is that how you spell that? i always wondered.

theremin #7.1.1 thereminOG 2002

It can be spelt a few different ways: tshatshke (Yiddish), tsatske, tchotchke, czaczka (Polish), or chachka. I like "tchotchke" the best.

skaorsk8 #7.1.1.1 skaorsk8OG 2002

how are chacka and tchochke the same word???????? so confused.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

dan, now look what you've gotten yourself into...

theremin thereminOG 2002

They're not the same word. Just etymologically the same.
