Hey it made Gary Gygax rich, so I guess I shouldn't be so judgmental.

Sigh, same band. Equally ****ty song below.

Tim Finnegan lived in Watling Street
A gentle Irishman mighty odd
He'd a beautiful brogue so rich and sweet
To rise in the world he carried a hod
You see he'd sort of a tippling way
with love for a liquor poor Tim was born
To help him on with his work every day
He'd a drop of the Craythor every morn'

One morning Tim was rather full
His head felt heavy which made him shake
Fell from the ladder and broke his skull
So they carried him home his corpse to wake
Rolled him up in a nice clean sheet
And laid him upon the bed
A bottle of whiskey at his feet
And a gallon of porter at his head

And whack Fol-De-Dah now dance to your partner
Welt the floor, your trotters shake
Wasn't it the truth I told ya
Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake

His friends assembled at his wake
And Missus Finnegan called for lunch
First they brought in tay and cake
Then pipes, tobacco and whiskey and punch
Biddy O'Brien began to cry
Such a nice clean corpse did you ever did see
Tim mavourneen, why did you die?
Hold your gob said Paddy McGee.

And whack Fol-De-Dah now dance to your partner
Welt the floor, your trotters shake
Wasn't it the truth I told ya
Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake.

Then Peggy O'Connor took up the job
Biddy she says You're wrong I'm sure
Biddy then gave her a belt on the gob
And left her sprawling on the floor
Then the war did soon engage
Woman to Woman and Man to Man
Shillelah law was all the rage
And a row and a ruction soon began

Mickey Maloney he raised his head
When a bottle of whiskey flew at him
It missed him falling on the bed
The liquor scattered over Tim
Tim revives see how he rises
Timothy rising from the bed
Whirl your whiskey around like blazes
Thanum an Dhul, do ye think I'm dead.

And whack Fol-De-Dah now dance to your partner
Welt the floor, your trotters shake
Wasn't it the truth I told ya
Lots of fun at Finnegan's wake.

For your age I'm surprised you like Amon Amarth. Usually only 30+ year old metal heads with gnarly beards like them.

Imagine 3 thumbs up at once... that's what you just got for the reference.
Haha thanks. Yeah, I have a broad spectrum of metal that I listen to. One of my favorite bands is one that no one has ever heard of, From a Second Story Window. They're math metal, take a listen, the last minute or so is absurdly powerful:

Prepare to be re-broadened.

Cradle of Filth stemmed from the Original crazy troll voice below.

Not my style, but if you like CoF something tells me you'll appreciate this.
 
Wouldn't go so far as to say that I wouldn't change anything about my body-- I'm not really big enough and I'm soft around the middle-- but I'd have to say I'm very comfortable with it. I am magnificent, and the only reason that I cover it up is that other people get embarrassed and awkward when they see too much of my body.

Frankly, they'd be just as embarrassed and awkward if I were in the kind of shape I'd like to be in. Doesn't seem to make that much of a difference.
 
Even when I was in really good shape had six-pack abs I didn't go around without a shirt on too often unless it was really friggin' hot and I was doing strenuous physical labor.

Nowadays I'm not nearly in as good of shape as I used to be (although I'm not fat or anything) and I still don't go around without a shirt unless it is really friggin' hot and I am doing strenuous physical labor.

It's got nothing to do with me being uncomfortable or comfortable with my physique. I just never really gave a **** what people thought of me one way or the other in regards to my physique. Why would I go around showing it off if I don't give a ****?
 
I am a marathoner and a triathlete and am consequently in very good shape. I am frankly quite proud that at 38 years old, I am in better shape and have a better physique than most men 15 years my junior.

I've always been extremely comfortable with my body.
I think one of the blessings of being raised without a mother is that I didn't get any of that weird attitude- it seems like hatred- that so many women I know have about their bodies.
Yeah, hypothetically, there are things about me that I'd change, if I could just magically change them.
But on the whole, I'm aware that I hit the genetic jackpot, and that- all things considered- I am seriously lucky to have a normal body and face and IQ, instead of flippers and an empty fluid-filled skull.

On the whole, my body has served me well, and I'm happy with it.
Anyone who has neglected and abused themselves as much as I have and yet never had a serious illness has no right to complain about anything.
 
I am 70 years old, and don't worry about the fact that I am overweight.
I still walk and get some execise.

I am well liked, make friends easily and I am willing to go into public. I even have a girl friend, now at my age. Not really interested in getting married but I enjoy women and even dancing at the Senior Center.

Dang, I will be so happy if I'm dancing at the Senior Center when I'm 70.
However, a psychic once told me that I'm going to die when I'm 54, which is only 20 years from now.


:shrug:
 
the dropkick murphys are so awesome; I love them with all my body (including my pee pee).

I saw them live in a bar in Southie with MAYBE 20 other people. It wasn't billed, totally secret, no tickets. Yeah it's a pretty big deal. If you want to make friends in Dorchester in Boston just put "Skinhead on the MBTA" on the juke, then everyone will like you. If you want to get your ass kicked put on "Shipping up to Boston", then everyone will hate you and beat you like the poseur you are.

You need to start liking them right now, they're the only decent think that's come out of punk in almost 30 years.

they're totally unique. seriously. i love them. SO MUCH. WAY better then Choke. WAY BETTER.

Ska isn't just dead, it's been brutally raped and displayed...

I HATE ska kids that think they know **** about Skinheads. Just because we both listen to Desmond Dekker doesn't mean we're going to hang out, you emo glasses wearing dork.

Dropkick does kick ass.

I am not sure if that was a joke...

But the whole psychic business is junk.
They play on your emotions; there is a science to it, but it's pretty much hocus pocus. I don't care how precise of a story they can predict/know about your past...

It seems beyond, WAY beyond, absurd for any human to be able to predict correctly the future.
It is impossible. Hands down impossible.
 
6' 195 don't mind taking my shirt off. Would like to be 10 lbs lighter, but I drink and eat too much to make that I think.

Between the end of high school sports and the middle of my freshman year in college I weighed 240 and decided it was time to start exercising again and got myself back to 195 so I'm pretty happy with it.

The psychic's a relative. The prediction was unsolicited.
I tend to agree that no one can know the future, since it hasn't happened yet, but this particular person is well-known for things like predicting the future and communing with the dead.
Because I'm a skeptic, I don't believe it. Because I grew up around this person and everybody else in my family is persuaded these powers are real, I do believe it. I both do and don't believe it, if that makes any sense.

The "you're going to die at 54" kind of stuck in my mind (it's been many years since I was told) because of its specificity. And because of the fact that this person didn't want to tell me. I basically insisted, after this person announced that they knew when I was going to die.

It's a bunch of bull****, I'm pretty sure.
Nevertheless, I can never seem to put it entirely out of my mind.

I was pretty happy with my body for being a mother of two and being able to wear the same pants I wore before getting pregnant with my first child. But right now I am 5 months pregnant...so obviously I am comfortable with being pregnant. But we'll see how I feel a few months after I have the baby.
 
I'm happy with my body. I don't know if it's genuine pleasure with how I look or just an absence of caring too much about it one way or another. I've always been lazy when it comes to looks. I'm perfectly comfortable being nude around my mate and the only issue I've ever had is swimsuits and pubic hair. No matter how I do hair removal on my bikini line I get bumps. But board shorts have effectively solved that problem forever. Now I just wear them and don't bother to shave or wax. But all in all my body has served me well. If I could magically change stuff I'd probably go for bigger boobs or even just more symmetrical ones -one is bigger than the other, and more skin pigment as I have really white skin that burns easy. But other than that I feel good. I feel blessed. Nothing much to whine about.

Congrats on the third. Are you planning on pulling a Demi Moore?

I totally understand that. My natural skin color is VERY light (almost like a ghost) and parts NOT tanned burn very quickly.
