New Levels of Pathetic!

So it's been a while since we posted here at Prog Snobs, but honestly, there hasn't been much to report. It's like the prog fans have been going outside and "talking to people"....well, maybe I won't go that far, but with ComicCon going on, I'm sure most of them have been busy. Hmm, maybe I'm not that far off, it seems like prog fans HAVE been venturing into the wild outside world....but not for human contact, but to get cool "tanline tattoos" of Dream Theater logos!

If you, like me, are a little bit sceptical (sic) about getting a tattoo, but would still like some kind of DT paraphernalia upon your person, Then this could be the thing for you. Seeing as the summer is upon us (Despite the rain ) I've decided that I'm going to somehow create a stencil of the Majesty symbol and lie in the sun with it on, Hopefully leaving a tan line that will resemble the famous logo that has represented DT for so long. Then I thought. Wouldn't it be cool if a lot of people on the forum did it too, and then posted pictures of theirs? (A lot like the Tattoo thread, except with Tan lines )

Umm...this is some sort of joke right? Who the fuck would think of this, let alone invest enough time in developing the stencil and then sunning themselves for something that will look terrible, peel off in a few days, and label them as a "Proggia-King of the Dorks"?

Spock's Brow_ I've actually always wanted to do this!

Guess I spoke too soon...

Usually an idea this lame would die a quick and painful death from embarrassment, but the hits keep coming!, apparently I'm the asshole here, because this is the best idea since the Mike Portnoy invented the internet!....

Yeah, I'm currently trying to figure out how to make the stencil... It's rather mind boggling.

Much like 19/16 time signature! Or talking to girls!

Leeroy_455_ Stupid idea my ass! Sounds great!

Thanks Leeroy, I can always count on you to make an asinine thread even more pathetic...

I seriously think I'd do it, it could be really cool. Post the pic of the tan, I wanna see how it turned out.

Do we really want to see how sad this venture becomes?....yeah, I guess we do=




















(Wipes tears from eyes from hysteria) Now, this is usually where the insane amount of laughter and mocking would begin. But that's in the real world, in the world of the Prog Snob, nothing is too stupid when it comes to senseless time-wasting and showing your dedication to a band.

Cecilia_holy crap that's great! That's something I would totally do!

Of course, you're wasting your time posting on a message board, why wouldn't you waste MORE time getting a cool tanline tattoo??? And also, "Cecilia"?? a woman??...gotta be a plant....

Well, let's see what the reaction is to our hero's inventiveness

I went to a party type thing last night. ( sure you did...chatroom?) A lot of people thought I was a bit weird, But they had to admit that it was cool.

They're just trying so hard to not make you cry...

My parents think it's quite good too. I just remind them that I could be out beating people up and doing drugs, But instead, I'm having good clean fun

Please, do us all a favor and start doing drugs, stop wasting bandwidth on you personal experiments in ridiculous fanboyism.

WOW!! No one CARES!!

I love it when someone's mundane life events becomes big news on a message board...and that people actually chime in to justify it

I was going through all the music I had a few minutes ago, and started to give The Perfect Element another spin to see if I could get into it..... I never really liked it, though....... until now!

HOLY SHIT!! this is awesome news!! Now, Pain of Salvation can afford clothes!

I don't know what happened though.... all of a sudden the music sounded appealing, and was actually enjoyable. I am really surprised.

O' mysteries of earth...whilst thou reveal thyself???

I had never really thought anything above 'meh' of this band. Anybody else have the same thing happen?

Unfortunately for us...yes

oh, and if you've never heard Pain of Salvation? don't... it's unicorn shite

Luckily, our enlightened one has some people that feel JUST LIKE HIM! (Weird!!)

Same thing happenend with me until January this year.

They are now one of my top 5 favorite bands.

"Fuck yeah JRundquist, this is an amazing honor. You realize you've made it when you've received the "JRundquist Top 5" award"
-Members of Pain of Salvation

hmmm...maybe our good friend Leeroy455 can add something to this train wreck of a conversation...(doubt it)

Dont you love it when things just click.. (I was right)

I got into PoS a few weeks ago (thanks to this forum) and i love them.

never underestimate the power of the internet and it's ability to sway weak-minded nerds

Why Isnt Prog more POPULAR?!?!?!?!

Prog fans love to bitch and complain how prog is so much "better" than normal music. And while I'm no fan of Top-40 hitz, this argument that all people should listen to is Dream Theater falls a little flat...mainly because there's no reasoning behind it.

A short rant/anecdote because I'm sure you guys will get where I'm coming from...

of course they do...they're all musically advanced like you

I work at a Taco Bell. We don't have a store mix or anything, so the managers are allowed to put on whatever radio station they want. 3 out of the 4 choose Star 104 "Erie's number 1 hit music station!". You wouldn't believe how happy it makes most of my co-workers.

I'm pretty sure that customers enjoy their Border Crunch Wrap more when listening to the 25-minute live version of A Mind Beside Itself...but that's just common scientific knowledge.

I realize that pop music is, in fact, popular, but I had no idea that people actually got THIS into it. One can only take so much of hearing the same 15 or so songs over and over again for a 7 hour shift with occasional girls singing along. This is honestly stupid music for stupid people.

SO DUMB! NO SOLOS!

Luckily, fucking badass "Leeroy455" gives his 2 cents...

I too am sick of it. It disgusts me.. Bands like Dream Theater deserve the fame and fortune, not these wannabe's..

IMO, pop music is going downhill and always has been. Its getting worse and worse..

that's right! hear that people??? Since you're so dumb and like DUMB music, Dream Theater isn't rich! It's your fault Take the Time isn't played at every wedding! Don't you know it's so much better than Love Shack because it has parts in 7!!!!
