I've been in a pit once in my life, and it was indeed at a Ministry show. I am five foot two, and yeah, in retrospect, I should have been scared; the dudes I was with wouldn't go near it. I did  totally get my feet stomped on. so. bruised.

Nah, I didn't think you were trying to denigrate Boston's skyline, but now you mention it, it does seem odd that a city so jam-packed with American history is not recognizable.  I can't even name a specific historical building in Boston (though granted that may be my issue more than Boston's).

I gotta say, right off hand I don't think I could pick the Boston skyline out of a lineup.   I may not be very good at skylines that are not a) places I've lived or b)places that have not inudated popular culture.  Not sure I could ID Los Angeles, even.

I found a bunch of interesting bands during that Australiaphile phase, and that was before the internet even. But most of those tapes have vanished over the years; I should go hunt me down some Lime Spiders and see if they hold up to my memory of them.

*points and laughs at with VanDerWerff* SO GLAD to know someone else was subjected to The Gaithers and the like during their formative years.  My dad STILL listens to it.

Holy shit, I think that's the first time I've ever run across someone who even knows the Hoodoo Gurus. I picked up "Blow Your Cool" when I was working in a music store/in an Australiaphile phase, but I haven't listened to anything else of theirs.

Dude, that was my exact reaction.

I vote Ivory soap, and nothing else. Cap ain't down with "aftershave".

I…have just spent way too much time contemplating what Steve Rogers smells like.  Other than freedom, that is.  Thanks dude.

Yep.

And let me add that, three seasons in, I'm not anywhere near as emotionally engaged in GoT as I was at episode ten of Spartacus.

Other than what everyone's already said about the gay sex, there are a large number of mostly to totally naked sweaty dudes, including full-frontal, in every episode. Just sweaty naked gladiators, walking casually around the bathhouse.

Ha, I can't imagine starting the day with Spartacus, when I'm still sleep-groggy and getting ready for Boring Office Job.

I probably would have started watching again sooner, had I realized that he wrote several of my very favourite epsiodes, including "Damage" and "Shells".

Oh my god that puppy is adorable.

If you don't mind taking the time to actually polish, you can get Nevr-dull, which is good for cleaning any metal. It's what I use on my jewelry, cause god knows I'll never spend a lot of money on jewelry.

Dang, I know people who work at the capitol and I haven't heard any of this! I need better insiders.

Here ya go

Spoilers for the story, obviously, since it's a wiki

That means I can be an asshole to you about it, not to any random New Yorker I meet in a bar.

HA what kind of logic is that? And like HE'S ever swept a dirt floor.
