  • I am sorry you had that experience. I wasnt going to reply to this thread but your comment got my mind going. If you are single now, I hope its how you want. And if you are in a new relationship, I hope it is the best it can be.

    my step dad was the same way about sports and drinking and becoming abusive. To the point of physical violence directed at me and my mom.

    I am a loud fan. I enjoy the passion that a good game can produce in me. I do yell at the TV sometimes. I am a season ticket holder for my local pro soccer team. I am seriously the loudest fan at one point of every game because I start a chant and everyone in the stadium hears me and responds. And I yell at the ref and opposing team all the time. Always in good fun and I try not to be personal. Mostly trying to get a laugh, get the other team on the wrong foot.

    But I draw the line at abusive language.

    I admit I drink too much sometimes and can be an asshole

    BUT ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR DIRECTED AT A LOVED ON IS NEVER ACCEPTABLE.

    FULL STOP







  • My friends and I did this an it really is a mind fuck how some of the events line up

    I have been a Pink Floyd fan more of my life then not. My buddies and I would eat up every little bit. One thing that is lost in the modern era is that on the Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii VHS tape, there is a bunch of hand held video bits. The guys acting goofy and shit. Some parts are of them recording DSotM. In one bit someone is coming to Roger’s hotel room and he shuts the door on them. On the TV in the background, he is watching Wizard of Oz.

    Pink Floyd made a few movie scores before the made DSotM.

    DSotM is such a huge accomplishment, I don’t think Roger wants his greatest accomplishment to be diminished in any ways so they have always denied any influence.

    That last bit is just my personal opinion.

    I always liked Meddle and the original Fantasia better. If you start them right, the part in One of these Days will be when the two dinosaurs are fighting. And right as the fight hits the peak and the T-Rex finally gets that mortal blow on the Triceratops, the lyrics will be

    One of these days I will cut you into little pieces

    and when the Triceratops finally closes its eyes to die, the song fades out and ends

    That, and a bunch of other really cool shit syncs up
