"Headphones-Wearing Pedestrian Loudly Proclaims Iron Man Status

MINNEAPOLIS— Local resident James Gaines loudly proclaimed his Iron Man status Monday while walking down Hennepin Avenue wearing a Sony Discman.

[/roth mode on] Obviously, this reference simply proves what everyone deep down knows - that classic VAN HALEN is THE timeless, solid gold gilt plated motorised rickshaw, careening around a crowded street in south east asia, running over old ladies, MONSOON BETTY, tearing up the dresses of peasants in the world known as rock and roll, motherfuckers!!' [/roth mode off]

A band that could touch deep human emotions, emotions driven by soulful, complex subjects, such as love, relationships, steak, and passing out in a pathetic drunken stupor on a nice beach' [/sam mode off]

[/gary mode on] huh? My ass was itchy. So hang me. [/gary mode off]

Bah! You're obvious Roth fanatical bias is coloring your view of reality. It wouldn't surprise me if you think Dave solo is the greatest pinnacle of music!

Your enlightened view touches me. To see someone finally 'get' it makes all the hours of putting up with the Rothians worth it. [img]graemlins/cry.gif[/img]
