fvckin dipsh!t kook...what a fvckin pvssy!
anyone that speaks of themselves in the third person, while simultaneously listing themselves first out of a collective collaboration, while acting as the self appointed spokesman for the group, is WAY beyond pretentious
nope, ol Porkyboi is just a straight up self indulgent a$$hole
there's ten different drummers out there that kick that punk's sh!t right out from under him...then fly back around and smear it all over his bloated fvcking face!!
but they are not attention whores....so all the cheesed!cks around here will likely never discover them
ah, fvck it! who the fvck cares...the general decline is well at hand anyway....IDIOTS

No, he called security when I got loud with him, so then I really got in his face (spittin and screaming) until security got there. Then he was shakin like a leaf and when he told me to never come back to his store again his voice cracked and me and the security guys laughed at him. I'm pretty sure he pinched a sizeable hole in his fruit of the looms. lol.

ha! sweet...fvckin crackly voice is the best :)
reminds me of a similar such 'exchange' i had with this idiot personal trainer type that tried to act tuff one day...
well, the tuff stuff was apparently draining out and soiling his panties about 3 seconds later when i flew up in his sh!t with teeth bared and claws out....man! that big brave lifter dude's lip start quivering like a dang jello pop, he's trying to back from the frothing hellrat, and he's stuttering out ''f-f-f*** you man, i'm n-not sc-sc-scared of you!'' with the crackling voice!
then, as he slinks back over to his meathead buddy, his boyfriend blurts out 'Man, that guy was totally gonna kick yer ass!! dude, what's up with your lip? it's all twitching and sh!t..."
it was fvckin classic :)

To all the people complaining....shut up... lol sound like a bunch of girls, I'm pretty sure last time I checked it was his life, not yours...I'll follow mike wherever he may roam (song reference ftw?) because of his talent and because he'll always meet my expectations as a great drummer, one of the best in terms of progressive music (neil peart is still number one)

Nothinghead, I just turned 21 about a week ago as well... And now I'm broke, bars are expensive.
I'm excited about the group he got together, but too often I get dissapointed by these 'super' lineups so I'm not gonna have high expectations and hope I get proved wrong.

What a totally obnoxious d*** sucking festival this post has become. Not that it's any surprise to me, I've seen it in almost every thread over 20 posts. You would think from reading hellrat's posts that Blindgreed spouts the word of God and sh**s ice cream. The news flash is that it has become boring and typical over the last few months. I still find a little joy in reading the utter bullsh** that pops up in these threads but to be totally honest, it's getting dull. Maybe it's me, maybe I have become jaded. Or maybe it's you all. Maybe you all have become super lame and passive. Hopefully this will stir the pot.

boo fvckin hoo a$$ Dooker...gettin all mopey cause ya ain't no fwends eh??
i wonder if its your tediously inane and generally meaningless comments, along with your evident complete lack of any sense of humor, wit, or charm??
or maybe its just that silly merry go round of corny avatars you like to ugly up the place with?
who the fvck knows...sh!t, who the fvck cares?
theres prolly a good little buddy out there for ya somewheres Dooky Boy, ya just keep on layin er out there now :)

Now that's the spirit! Finally a break is the incessant line of testicle licking. Although, some of hellrat's grammar leaves something to be desired. But that may just be a product of your environment or your upbringing or possibly the failure of your local educational system. But all in all two great comeback posts. One thing I can assure you is that I am still here and I will continue to be here enlightening you all with my witty posts. "Juggling hairy meatballs"? No sir. "tedious, inane, and generally meaningless comments"? Maybe. But always honest and never following another poster praising each and every comment waiting for the smallest dookie pebble to fall on my cheek like hellrat. You are all welcome.

godamn, that was excruciating....Dooker, yer wordcraft is just abyssmal, though the might of your rhetoric is daunting indeed....grammar? my hillbilly upbringing and disadvantaged education? oh, and of course all that projected male crotch snuffling fantasy you're so fond of regurgitating over and over? fvckin BRUTAL :)
it IS true that you don't do much catching up with yer non-existant buds on here that ya ain't seen in while, but you have certainly been following ME around like a runt varmit, looking for your ill perceived opportunity to really 'put me in my place', that much is glaringly obvious... i suppose i should be flattered?
shoot Dookie, i admire yer new effort to try and be all cyber tough all the sudden (however mechanical and redundant), but it's disappointingly not much better than yer old mousey snatch style of 'requesting to respectfully disagree' every time i said something ya didn't like....THAT was pretty painful to watch, but it actually WAS honest at least ;)
but this latest big man drivel is just so contrived, its really quite pathetic....you just ain't got the skiils, son
say, what the hell are we all Welcome fer? you gettin hit by a truck? well sure! how selfless of ya Dook Boi ;)

Well, what do we have here? An educated Southerner? Thats a lot like "Military Intelligence" (classic Dave, you crack me up). You my friend, are a credit to your breed. At least that explains all the "ya" and "yer" in every other sentence. My new effort at cyber toughness pales in comparison to you sir. You are truly head of the class, and you have done a wonderful job at "batting solo" keeping all us wretched cheesed***s in our place. The MU community thanks you. My only intention was to point out the monotony of all the placating that has infected this site. Mission accomplished. The "You are welcome" was for all the other posters who have thought the same thing I have but never said anything. I have been posting on this site for many years and I have seen a lot of people come and go. You are no different and when you are gone I will still be here.

KAD: HR isn't going anywhere. You may as well just get used to his style. I don't expect to see you around very often as you are usually more of a drive by aggrivation than a regular like HR. I do find the fact that you underestimated HR ammusing though. As usual you assumed a lot and it came back to bite you in the a$$. All in all a very interesting exchange though. Don't be such a stranger around here. Get in and get your hands dirty twink bait. ;-)

Truly underestimated HR, I think it was the lack of capitalization, punctuation, and southern slang in all his posts. Work has been a b**** the last few months so I don't get on here as much as I would like. Good point with the "drive by aggravation", but thats kind of my impression of metal music in general, or at least the "music that was meant to stay underground...". (props to DB)

Captain Dooker, o intrepid and righteous cybernaut--protector and defender of the poor and hapless Oppressed....bring me back up to speed eh?
being a rather thick and slow witted country bumpkin, i guess i kinda lost track of what WAS your valiant Expedition's purpose???
wait...ah yes! i remember now....Ha!
yeah, Mission accomplished indeed! ;)
goddamn...of all the goofy ba$tards, good grief :)

That's a stellar line-up. Anyone who discounts Portnoy's credibility as a drummer obviously has no clue about drumming. I love Steve Morse's playing in Deep Purple and Dave LaRue has done some great live work with Satriani. I'm not too familiar with the other two but I'm sure the combination of the rest will be enough for me to enjoy it. I'm looking forward to hearing this.
