Yeah, I know. Copycat.

Pick an interest from my interests page that either 1) you know nothing about but sounds intriguing, or 2) you know something about but can't fathom why yours truly would be interested in it, and demand an explanation

And if no one is interested in my interests, I will run off and pout. :)

Zorak. Nada. What can you tell me?

Re: I know nothing about...

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

Ah, Zorak! He is an evil preying mantis who leads the house band on Space Ghost: Coast to Coast. You can see transcripts of the extremely amusing show at http://www.adultswim.com/shows/spaceghost/home_companion/index.html. He's been know to insert "Gabba gabba hey!" into Christmas carols, among other things. Check out Space Ghost, it's a riot.

uisce beathadh.....this one

you and the squid both like terry pratchet

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

Terry Pratchett kicks ass!

I'll bet you know more about uisce beathadh than you think...it's an Irish term meaning "water of life", and it's where we get the word whiskey. :)

Ok, I'll bite...

"einsturzende neubauten"- Please translate and explain. (Though once you translate it, it may well be self-explanatory! :P

It means "collapsing new buildings", and they are the best band ever. German (duh). They have been around for 24 years now, and are still wonderful. Their early stuff is very dadaist--deconstructed proto-industrial noise stuff. Their more recent stuff is more melodic and experimental. All of it is wonderful. I saw their 20th anniversary show in Berlin, and it is still the best concert I've ever seen in my life.

Tell me about dystopia. Or your views on onanism, if you prefer.

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

Dystopia is an anti-utopia. Like the society in 1984.

Onanism. Well. I think it's a wonderful thing, and could cure a lot of the sexual problems of a lot of people, women in particular. I love accessories, too, and am a big fan of Grand Opening. I think that self-pleasure can teach a person a lot about what they want and how to get it. Then they can let their partner(s) know what they need to do to make them happy. Practice makes perfect.

Now, why is it that both leenah and bittercat want to bite me? I am bemused. :P

[leenah.livejournal.com]

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

Why does your nose come off?

[leenah.livejournal.com]

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

[leenah.livejournal.com]

My two were "raks sharqi" and "xenoglossy". I googled 'xenoglossy', though. Neat: Speaking an existing language when you have no knowledge of it.

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

Hi :)

I don't believe we've actually met, though I see we have friends in common.

Raks sharqi is belly dancing. Shimmy shimmy shake shake wiggle wiggle...etc.

[tigira.livejournal.com]

welshbard is an initiate in Minneapolis. If you go to Family Gathering, you might just have a chance to meet him. Definitely a hoopy frood.

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

A hoopy frood, eh? Groovy. I'll bet he knows where his towel is, too. :D

[welshbard.livejournal.com]

I sure do.
