Mystery Science Theatre 3000 was seriously the greatest cult-classic ever...

Remember "Snakes on A Plane" - and all the net and cult hysteria it got.. only to tank in Theatres.. MST3K could have been released in theatres and would have SMASHED anything of that year (1999 i believe). MST3K is to "cult classics" as BORAT is to "universal smash hits"..

"This Island Earth" was a great movie -- only made better by Crow T. Robot screaming "KING DOME!!!!" as the world started falling in on itself..

My pet Peeves..

1) People who listen to rap and r&b music -- and then look at me weird for listening to hardcore and metal. They give me this "what the hell is wrong with you" stare -- as I listen to music, and then it goes further when one of my best friends is absolutely "culture driven" into believing rap music is better than metal and hardcore... just because corporate america finds it more marketable, because the dumb fucks who listen to it will go out and buy everything in sight..

2) People who DONT interact at Movies -- listen people, it costs damn near 8 bucks in most places to go see a movie. If you want to pay 8 bucks per ticket and then another 10 bucks for food -- and then go in and be absolutely quiet... do me a favor, don't fucking go. Save your money -- wait for the dvd. Personally, I'm throwing at the minimum 11 bucks away to go see a movie, you bet your ass I am not going to sit still and be quiet. The great part of the movie experience (minus teenage girls giggling, and people text messaging on their phones) is being loud, and interacting with the movie.. Borat was the greatest example... there is an insanely overweight guy - laying naked in bed, jacking off to baywatch magazine -- and another naked guy who attacks him, and they begin to fight -- for 10 minutes they're inviting you to make comments and interact.. that's great! Don't just go to the movie.. be part of it..

I hate the drunk guys at the bar who come back to the soundboard and tell you how to run the equipment. Then you ask them to show you what they mean, and they reply with "Oh, i cant run that stuff". I hafta agree with JP, the experts that dont really know shit drive me up the wall..

Or the guy who thinks my laptop has every mp3 in the world, and im such an asshole if i dont play some crappy 80's music hes just dying to hear before the band goes on.

Oh, people who cant write music, recreate, or improv, but call themselves musicians. Yuck. Lrn2Wryt. ktnx.

My pet peeve is watching non-hd content on my hdtv. Damnit, 4:3 is sooooooo 1990s. Get with the program and get 16x9 in glorius 1080i!

Another one is private profiles on MySpace.. why bother?

One last one, even though it's just an annoyance more than a pet peeve, is coming home from the bar after seeing a band and SMELLING LIKE ALCOHOL/SMOKE. ARGH! We need some smoke free bars

One of my biggest pet peeves (i didnt even think of this before) is when someone comes up to me and tells me how a song should be sang. Then they try to impersonate it and it sounds like someones massacring small farm animals.

Or, heres the grand daddy of em all....

SKYNARD!!!!!

WE WANNA HEAR SOME SLAYER!!!!!!!!!

SKYNARD!!!!!

SKYNARD!!!!!

FREE BIRD!!!!!!!!!

Any musician from Pennsylvania will know what im talking about.

(If you've ever watched the movie Barnyard, they actually make fun of that. Theres a part where this rooster's on stage doing stand up comedy, and everyones laughing. All of the sudden in the laughter you hear someone yell "FREE BIRD!!!!!!!")

My pet peeve is when bands dont play what fans want to hear. Who cares if they dont come back, right?

Mistress_DB · Post by **Mistress_DB** » Thursday Dec 28, 2006

I could write a book about my pet peeves... LOL!

Here's a few of my latest...

I got a guy on myspace who's requested me twice so far. He's been denied both times. Apparently, I need to put in very large font on my page I AM NOT INTERESTED IN TAKING ON A SEX SLAVE! If I wanted one, I'd advertise for one. And it's never anyone attractive. It's either some freaky looking middle aged man who looks like he'd molest kids in his spare time or some pimply faced geek who's barely out of high school.

People who have to drive and talk on their cell phone at the same time. I want to kill these people (or at least yank them out of their cars and jam the phones right up their backsides).

Sometimes you have to because certain ppl go to your profile over and over and over again, email you nasty things or wont go away, or try to start stuffs cuz they saw something you blogged, then it gets annoying and you make it private and they cant see anything but your pic and headline... yup...Im not there to make new friends or stalkers or keep the past updated Im there to keep in touch with the old friends and hear some good bands, soooo sometimes its not a bad thing...

and yeah Mistress, I had up once a disclaimer about if your this or that Dont email me dont add me, blah blah blah, NOONE READ IT!!! My my space pet peeve Dont add me if you dont read my profile...If your a rappin snowborder theres a very good 100% chance Im NOT gonna like you and have nothing to talk about , you would have known that if you just read my profile, exspecially when I go to yours and everything you dislike I AM, HELLO READ!!!

I read somewhere that every bar band should learn Free Bird in its entirety, and play it every time someone yells "free bird" even if its several times a night. It wouldn't take very long for that behaviour to stop.

Be honest, when's the last time you heard a band play freebird?

Keep an eye out for me at the next Hurricanes show, I'll be the one requesting Iron Maiden really loudly all night long

Is it fair to have MySpace in general as your pet peeve? Like, I've completely cleared my friend box of real people, because for every 32 people you put on your friend box, there are another 32 who are pissed that you didn't put them there. Yowsa.

Other peeves:

- Girls with flat asses. The hinder should be in glorious 3-D. If necessary, get implants.

- Unsynchronized traffic lights.

- The small size of Joey's seafood restaurant. That place rocks, but only seats about 15 people.

Ahhh I forgot about that. Add that to mine.

Also, when people don't use turn signals. Which is becoming increasingly common for some reason.. maybe 'cuz they're on the phone?

i dont know if this qualifies as a "pet peeve" or a "major psychotic fucking hatred".. but here we go...

Girls who are "overly gothic" or "overly metal".. I don't know why but that bothers me -- granted, I prefer girls who listen to metal/hardcore and I would definately prefer girls who live that lifestyle to an extent -- but when looking across a room or at a show or something and seeing a girl in all black, black eyeliner, black lips, leather, and the whole Stormtrooper get up.. I kinda want to run away...

I know that's not very "metal" of me -- and if that's the case I'll deal with losing some points.. I just dont feel comfortable being that close to one of these horses ... makes me feel like I'm a little too close to taking a strap-on in the ass, getting the "rouge" thrown on me, or having her tuck my sack back...

oh god, im gonna throw up now..

OMG I saw that on Sunday.. White Rapper? yeah ok.. Im sorry, but if anybody DOESNT think this is catering to racial indifference and inequality -- you need your head examined..

However... I would fully back a show searching for the best Amish Midget in the United States..

Well see, we did learn some Skynard in both this band and when i was with Falling Higher, but pulling off slayer acoustically is kind of a long shot. I mean, Falling Higher was known to do some crazy shit on the acoustic, stuff that people just didnt do, but doing any slayer would just be out of the question. I'm by no means a metal singer, so its impossible on that front, as well as doing it on an acoustic guitar. I just get sick of, even if you do play a skynard song, people repetedly yelling it all night, even if you do an encore.

Drum-Wolf · Post by **Drum-Wolf** » Thursday Dec 28, 2006

As for people yelling for Lynyrd Skynyrd at virtually every bar & club in Pennsylvania, perhaps we all should consider these words:

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
& the wisdom to know the difference.

Playing "Freebird" once or twice as well as other Skynyrd songs doesn't guarantee the shouting will stop. I've been there.

And Slayer? Well, in my opinion, that's just bizarre...or people liquored-up trying to be funny when it's all just obnoxious!
