Post your thoughts on (what should be) a terrible allergy season.
it starts early this year.

First

I've had a crappy cold. Idk if I have allergies.

stuffy head but that's about it. If it stops at this level I'll be pretty happy.

It hit me first 2 days ago, bleary eyes and all stuffed up. Let's keep this thread going, I want updates on all your runny noses!

Cant. Stop. SNEEZING.

and if one more person says "God Bless You" i'm gonna punch them in the face.

I typically get hit with allergies in the spring, but so far, I've been fine....*knocks on wood*

You guys need to go get immunotherapy shots

Shit is for real

You wouldn't download an immune system

already begun. so far it's not too bad, just the occasional sniffle and eye-itch, but i anticipate Hell within the next few weeks.

Never been allergic to anything. Never even had poison ivy. Be jealous.

Poison Oak is worse.

Barren Oak is done.

Barren Oak is barren (of a drummer)...OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Barren Joke.

Dan Haren Smoke.

Already trying out new drummers, and I'm warning them about what the scenekid named arilliusbm spouts.

Lol @ scenekid when I barely go to shows and support bands anymore

That doesn't matter. You are an outspoken voice in your own little scene and hate on things that don't hold value to your set of ideals. Even though you're not 16 with gauges and hair over one eye, you are still a scenekid in your own right.

You sound mad.

Perfectly calm, bro.

I voice the pink elephants in the room because I despise the direction most metal is heading in; simple as that. Whether or not you want to agree with me or not, you're siding with the Duck Duck Goosers.

If I drew a line in the sand like Rufio and Pan, I'm sure I'd get some lost boys on my side. Plus, allergies are a bitch.

I'm sure in your mind, you voice a meaningful counterpoint of preservation for that which is sacred, but the way you do it is ostracizing and against what your metal tenets profess: doing your own thing and not giving a fuck. So some kids want to play duck duck goose at a metal show instead of standing around cross-armed. Good for them. Good for people who are making shitty music too.

There are always going to be a portion of people doing things that another segment will find disagreeable. As long as they're not getting in your way of enjoying a band, let them do whatever they want. Otherwise, you're one of the most oppressive hippies I've ever known.

Aril =

arillufio!

I'll be sure to never voice an opinion on something that died 15 years ago again, if it makes you disrespectful-too-positive-for-metal fags happy.

Or, Brb, I'm going on facebook to post videos on walls and tag names of people in bands that I've never met because I'm not a kiss ass scene whore.

Oppressive Hippy ftw.

LOL@me being too positive for metal. What I'm voicing is my belief in personal freedom, nothing more. You seem to believe that you have more rights than others, and that is my issue with your posts.

Not sure I get that last line, is that about me or someone else?

People get cranky when their sinuses get stuffy.

Why stop at duck-duck-goose?

well this thread turned gay.

hahaha seriously. how a thread about allergies turned into a bitch fest is beyond me.

When did I claim to have more rights than others? When has rttp opinions held value? I use my free will to voice opinion. So, in essence I'm doing exactly what you're talking about, yet you feel the need to point out that I'm "oppressive." Nigga please.

By feeling the need to call me out (numerous times, mind you) what are you trying to prove? Not once did I say I had more rights than anyone else. I have the right to speak my mind, and stand up for something in which I loved dearly (metal), until people like you came in trampling it with smiles and laughter.

total banbait

Agreed. Alx_Casket can't handle adverse opinions which somehow threaten "free will."

So ALLERGIES; my throat got a bit scratchy and my nose a tiny bit stuffy last Saturday. Once things cooled down and we had a bit of rain everything subsided.

the other day my dad was talking about a friend of his hiking the Applachian Trail, ending at Mt. Katahdin. my loins got all tingly.

Sorry, but I'm allergic to bullshit.

Dick is Bromance

Again, you act like I'm alone in the opinions I've expressed on this site.

My job is done here, I've set out what I've meant to accomplish: hopefully guiding the messageboard lurkers in the right direction with what I've spewed off over the years.

You are alone, I don't see any arilfollowers supporting you in your old man "get off my black metal lawn" tirade. All alone, in your own scene. Your job is lulz, thanks for all the guidance, pa!

I HATE IT WHEN MOMMY AND DADDY FIGHT

Where's the Alx_Casket followers?
I just got an email saying how much you aren't liked here.

I never professed to have followers, nor do I desire them. If you agree with me, great. But in the end, people will favor freedom of speech over you whining about every little kid who doesn't conform to the "old ways." I do see the good in your argument, but you have to acknowledge that music and culture progresses through change and like it or not, these DDG'ers are your future. Instead of being a dick, you could help guide them with your ancient wisdom, and tell them stories about what it was like when you used to go to shows and support.


You should paste the contents of that fake email, myself and others would love to read it.

Telling Aril he can't whine about the "old ways' is just as prohibitive in my opinion. Your argument is invalid.

He's here and can defend himself against my opinion. I stand up for the Spencer M Clark's out there... who are too allergic to fight for themselves.

I'm not trying to defend anyone I'm just tossing my opinion into the ring.

LOL at combining rttp and real life. I'm nice to everyone I come across to at shows. I couldnt care less what anyone thinks of me, so I spew opinions on this forum for DISCUSSION.
And, no, the email wasnt fake. I'm not going to disrespect a friend and fellow poster by posting it.

Let me know next time you're going golfing.

Why would anyone want to golf with a pompous twat?

Sounds like you're confusing rttp and real life.

This arguement is even more gay than a Captain Picard vs. Captain Kirk arguement.

AGREED

Raising aril's warning level to red alert.

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

Thing vs. Hulk: GO!

Remember the good ol' days

I'd like to chime in here, if I may.

I cannot side with either of these men regarding their internal differences, but I must say this:

Ignoring punctuation, spacing, and capitalization, a monkey typing letters uniformly at random has a chance of one in 26 of correctly typing the first letter of Hamlet. It has a chance of one in 676 (26 × 26) of typing the first two letters. Because the probability shrinks exponentially, at 20 letters it already has only a chance of one in 2620 = 19,928,148,895,209,409,152,340,197,376 (almost 2 × 1028). In the case of the entire text of Hamlet, the probabilities are so vanishingly small they can barely be conceived in human terms. The text of Hamlet contains approximately 130,000 letters.[note 3] Thus there is a probability of one in 3.4 × 10183,946 to get the text right at the first trial. The average number of letters that needs to be typed until the text appears is also 3.4 × 10183,946,[note 4] or including punctuation, 4.4 × 10360,783.[note 5]

Even if the observable universe were filled with monkeys the size of atoms typing from now until the heat death of the universe, their total probability to produce a single instance of Hamlet would still be a great many orders of magnitude less than one in 10183,800. As Kittel and Kroemer put it, "The probability of Hamlet is therefore zero in any operational sense of an event...", and the statement that the monkeys must eventually succeed "gives a misleading conclusion about very, very large numbers." This is from their textbook on thermodynamics, the field whose statistical foundations motivated the first known expositions of typing monkeys.



I hope this helps, guys. Let me know if you need any further explanation.

ALL ARGUMENTS BETWEEN PEOPLE THAT SHOULD BE FRIENDS, MUST BE SETTLED IN THE PROPER WAY.

IT'S NOT QUITE A DUEL, BUT......

There is no argument.
Only happy metal person who lives people vs angry metal person who hates people.

Happy to live people, everyday.

Well, I like you both. I would argue with anyone that doesn't like you both. There is a warm dog bed and bowl of chow for either of you at any time. Just don't bring any fleas into the house, they're a bitch to get rid of. Banana anyone?

on topic, I just bought Ocean nasal spray (like Ayr) and it is incredible. Makes me breathe again

That Hamlet Monkey post is Hoser's best post of all time. Bravo!

Hoser's posts are more insightful than anything aril has posted in this thread.

You're lucky I'm not behind a computer when I post, like the old days. You can only type so much on a phone when bosses and assholes are walking by your desk. Grammar usage is thereby not important

i tried nasal spray once, it was awful. it burned like hell, cleared it up for 30 seconds, and then caused my nasal passages to swell and made it worse for like 6 hours after.

Running nose

I can actually see clouds of pine pollen blowing around. Sinuses not pleased.

oh hey 2 month old thread featuring rttp retirees

you called mi lord?

I took an allergy pill... don't feel right. 240mg pseudofed. Might need to run a marathon.

Real Sudafed for that substitute shit you buy if you don't want your name put on a list?

uhg.

details please. Right now I would do a shot of diabetic sperm to feel better.

I've had it for food allergies, dander and pollen/fruit and it's been great so far

I've never had any significant pollen allergies until this year. It's horrible... knocked me on my ass big-time. Claritin has been helping but not enough.
