[StopTheMorans]

[Misunderestimator]

9. What's your problem, STM? Got a problem with talented people?

Jealous much? :P

:bounce:

[StopTheMorans]

13. i am actually a self-taught musician

i sing and play guitar, and i'm quite good, thank you. just like to make fun of people, that's all :evilgrin:

[Misunderestimator]

15. Well, goodie for you.

:eyes: :P

[progmom]

i even played in the band

and the marching band

but i can still kick your ass. :)

[Misunderestimator]

39. Hey...

i was in chorus
all-county chorus
all-state chorus
first place state solo competition

i even played in the band
the jazz band
and the marching band
and i went to college at a music conservatory
and i sang and played piano professionally for almost 20 years

Geeks of the world unite!! :hi: :hug: :pals:

(And we can kick his ass good as a team.)

[progmom]

44. i moved to europe before the try-outs for all-state chorus

in fact - i made my parents delay our departure to Holland by a week so i could go to all-county chorus. ;)

ha ha - and i had totally forgotten this...i was sick as a dog during the all-county try-outs. i had a fever of 103, but i wasn't going to let anything stop me. three of us tried out together, singing Dona Nobis Pacem.

:pals:

[Misunderestimator]

45. Aw, that sucks!

That reminds me of the time... I was in the all-Region band, and was about to try out for the all-State band, when the cap on my front tooth came off (I had broken the tooth when I was 12). This happened the day before the competition, and I had to have it replaced in the morning. Of COURSE, my lips were still numb, but I was stubborn and actually played the audition. A few notes and I was dead, my lips completely numb... couldn't buzz my lips at all. It was awful. :(

(Edited to add... I was playing the trumpet.)

[StopTheMorans]

41. alas, this is most likely true

:cry:

[Misunderestimator]

5. I was a big old chorus and band geek.

Point all you like... :P

[StopTheMorans]

8. nah, i'd rather give you a swirlie

*gives Misunderestimator a swirlie* BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

[Misunderestimator]

12. Ok, so what's an effin' swirlie?

[StopTheMorans]

17. well, i'm from the middle of nowhere, and it was a popular form of

hazing where i'm from. you grab someone by their feet (usually takes at least two to lift, and one to hold their arms), turn them upside down, stick their head in the bowl of a toilet (most likely in a high school gym locker room), and flush.

[Misunderestimator]

24. Ah... nice.... well I had plenty of things like that done to me in HS...

but not THAT particular one. I'll pass, thanks. :hi:

[StopTheMorans]

29. but the choice is not yours

:evilgrin: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :crazy:

[Misunderestimator]

33. Oh.... I am so scaaaaaared.

[BroadwayBrat]

6. What about it!

I was in both the band and in All County Choir in high school, it helped pay for college a bit! I am a band geek and damn proud of it!

[StopTheMorans]

11. well, i can already smell the stench of cheap toilet cleaner in your hair

from years of swirlies, so i'll give you a free pass this time

[BroadwayBrat]

Gee thanks....

:eyes:

[StopTheMorans]

30. you're welcome

[Zuni]

37. roflmao

:spray:

:rofl:

[Midlodemocrat]

10. Not only was I a band and chorus geek,

but I was so into music that my band opened for Bruce Springsteen at Toad's Place in New Haven many moons ago.

Geek??? I think not.

[Magrittes Pipe]

18. Dork.

:P

[Midlodemocrat]

21. Hedges!!! How are you feeling?

I was just thinking about you yesterday. Are you better?

Missed you on the boards, dude.

[Magrittes Pipe]

26. I am fabulous.

Just been away for a bit. Only have the one computer hooked up right now, so I haven't been online much. :hi:

[StopTheMorans]

20. you sound more like a poser

:thumbsdown:

[Midlodemocrat]

22. Bite me.

I have the pictures to prove it.

[StopTheMorans]

25. well, one can't make a claim like that without posting them

unless one likes to be called out on it :evilgrin:

[Midlodemocrat]

28. Why not? You think I would make that up?

I will find the pics...StM and you will be in BIG trouble, then.

[StopTheMorans]

32. sure you will, sure you will

:P

[terrya]

14. For me, high school was something to be endured.

I didn't go in for that social shit.

No swirlie for me, but that's fine.

[Misunderestimator]

19. I never considered chorus or band to be social shit...

having been an absolute social misfit in HS just barely enduring it myself... I wasn't in it for that. For me it was very simply about the music. It was really all I had then.

[StopTheMorans]

23. me too Terry. you get a free pass on the swirlie, how about one of these

:hug:

[terrya]

31. Well, that's much better than a swirlie, STM.

Thanks. :-)

Missed you around here.

[Shell Beau]

16. I can't sing worth a flip. Plus

my small school didn't have a chorus, not that I would have tried out if they did. I wouldn't have been allowed to sing, and I wouldn't want to make people suffer through my singing.

[StopTheMorans]

27. wow, you weren't even cool enough to be a chorus geek

double swirlie for you *gives Shell Beau 2 swirlies* :thumbsdown:

[Shell Beau]

35. No, you got that backwards.

:P

[Zuni]

38. I am a good musician but i have a terrible singing voice

when i hear recordings of my voice i want to cringe

[Shell Beau]

46. It's a huge joke in my family about my singing.

But when my mom and dad laugh about it, I tell them it is their fault. They gave me this voice. I can laugh about it though.

[MissMillie]

34. What kind of person makes fun of someone else

for doing something they enjoy?

[StopTheMorans]

42. a cool person, that's what kind

:thumbsup: :bounce:

[Midlodemocrat]

40. You know, StM.

Skinner was in chorus in eighth grade.



Just sayin'

[StopTheMorans]

43. well, takes one dork to know another, i guess

SNAP!

[Midlodemocrat]

48. And now, I shall retire to the mod forum

to discuss banning you.


I am SURE that won't take long.


SNAP!

[StopTheMorans]

50. yeah, i'm kind of curious as to why it hasn't happened already

maybe it's because my witty repartee and devastating charm would be missed around here... :rofl:

[Midlodemocrat]

53. Actually, we feel sorry for you.

I mean, you are such a geek and a loser and all.


:rofl:

[StopTheMorans]

54. takes one to know one

SNAP!

[Midlodemocrat]

55. I know you are but what am I?????

SNAP!

[StopTheMorans]

57. i'm rubber and you're glue; whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks

to you! SNAP!

[Mizmoon]

47. I loved chorus and drama

Chorus was one of my all-time favorite activies. I also had the lead several school plays. They were some of the happiest times of my life.

[StopTheMorans]

51. even with all the swirlies?

:shrug:

[youthere]

49. I was in chorus AND band. Two swirlies please.

[StopTheMorans]

52. i'll see your two swirlies, and raise you an atomic wedgie

*gives you there two swirlies, followed by an atomic wedgie*

[tigereye]

59. Concert choir and all that that entailed

State choral competition and lots of field trips.
Church choir and all that that entailed.
Piano lessons and recitals and all that that entailed.
Being a high school dramat and all that that entailed.
15 years in a punk/ post punk band and all that that entailed.

But I bet my list of hs activities was longer than yours! And no swirlies, ugh. Think that's a guy thing. I was a giant nerd though, and I did get my revenge. ;)

[KatyaR]

56. Let's see, I was in junior high and high school chorus (all girls),

trio, triple trio, I competed as a soloist in contests as well. I was also in HS jazz band one year. I went to Europe the summer after I graduated with 300 other high school students on a choir and orchestra trip.

In college I was in the mixed chorus, women's chorus, and sang in the Madrigal concert we did every year. We also did an Opera Gala, and I was in concert band one year. I wanted to be in marching band, but my voice teacher absolutely refused to let me.

Then I was a music theatre major in grad school. I didn't sing in any groups, but I was a lot of productions in and off campus.

So, year, I'm a great big geek, I guess. Funny thing is, I don't do any of that any more.

[Allenberg]

58. *clears throat*

Marching band, concert band, jazz band, pep band, concert choir, Variations (think Manhattan Transer on a high school level), drama club, musicals, plays, and newspaper editor.

Yes, I was referred to as "yeah, that's my gay friend Josh" a whole lot.

:P
