the music mole (colin s barrow), Friday, 25 June 2004 12:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Vegetarianism -I'm down with it, not something I've been able to stick with though

Paganism -Nah, not my thing. Sorry.

Bad lyrics -Is there any other kind?

Sexual Freedom -yes! yes! YES!

Simulated menstrual blood drinking -Nope, don't think so.

Yelling cunt repeatedly at the top of your voice -maybe under special circumstances that might warrant that kind of behaviour but I can't really think of any special circumstances that would warrant that kind of behaviour.

E.S.P (ipsofacto), Friday, 25 June 2004 12:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Bad lyrics - yes, definetely
Sexual Freedom - freedom is the prison of the free, but yeah it's okay
Simulated menstrual blood drinking - no thanks
Yelling cunt repeatedly at the top of your voice - never, it's a really horrible word

this is all kinda okcupid.

jel -- (jel), Friday, 25 June 2004 15:38 (twenty-one years ago)

I am in favour of sexual freedom and against all the others.

Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 25 June 2004 16:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Vegetarianism: Decidedly no.
Paganism: what's the point? If I'm going to reject a faith system it's going to be a proper one, thanks.
Bad lyrics: not overly fussed about lyrics, so yes, I guess.
Sexual Freedom: I'm in a relationship, so no, not ever. Her neither.
Simulated menstrual blood drinking: I'm a big fan of Campari.
Yelling cunt repeatedly at the top of your voice: Hel-lo! Barry Lasagne here!

Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 25 June 2004 16:10 (twenty-one years ago)

No, no, no, no, no, yes.

CUNT!

See?

accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Friday, 25 June 2004 16:24 (twenty-one years ago)

I lied.

Penelope_111 (Penelope_111), Friday, 25 June 2004 16:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Vicar of Dibley to thread!

(x-post)

Markelby (Mark C), Friday, 25 June 2004 16:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Vegetarianism: I eat vegetarians
Paganism: I eat pagans too.
Bad lyrics: Of course
Sexual Freedom: Once upon a time.
Simulated menstrual blood drinking: I'm not a big fan of performance art
Yelling cunt repeatedly at the top of your voice: That was me yesterday, watching the England vs. Portugal game.

Michael White (Hereward), Friday, 25 June 2004 16:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Vegetarianism: If that's what floats your boat, but I can't do it.
Paganism: Not so much
Bad lyrics: Of course
Sexual Freedom: Once upon a time. Sometimes now.
Simulated menstrual blood drinking: As Michael said, I'm not a big fan of performance art
Yelling cunt repeatedly at the top of your voice: Absocuntinglutely.

luna (luna.c), Friday, 25 June 2004 16:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Vegetarianism: I'm a dilletante vegetarian. I rarely crave meat, so I don't eat it that often. But I've never identified myself as a vegetarian. It wouldn't require much of an adjustment though.
Paganism: Thanks, but no thanks.
Bad lyrics: Are there any other kind?
Sexual Freedom: Yeah, whatever.
Simulated menstrual blood drinking: Likewise.
Yelling cunt repeatedly at the top of your voice: I cunt believe I'm bothering to fill this out.

Huk-El (Horace Mann), Friday, 25 June 2004 16:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Vagetarianism: two thumbs up
Plagiarism: go ahead
Bad lyrics: unnecessary
Sexual Freedom: maybe someday
Simulated menstrual blood drinking: where appropriate
Yelling cunt repeatedly at the top of your voice: at the mermaid parade

autovac (autovac), Friday, 25 June 2004 18:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Vegetarianism :
Well if you don't mind me eating a buffalo burger I don't mind you not eating a buffalo burger as long as I'm not subjected to vegetarian fundamentalist ranting.

Paganism: NO PAGAN HUMPING CIRCLE!

Bad lyrics: These are good for amusement if they are seriously bad. Moderately bad or pedestrian lyrics are unacceptable, and make the music unlistenable.

Sexual Freedom: er, define this. I'm a monogamist, if that's what you mean. And unrepentantly heterosexual.

Simulated menstrual blood drinking: I think I saw this at the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival, but I can't be sure.

Yelling cunt repeatedly at the top of your voice: I DEFINITELY saw this at the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival. It wasn't as amusing as seeing the white woman arguing to get into the Native-American-only Sweat Lodge Tent on the basis that she had been a Payute in a past life.

Orbit (Orbit), Friday, 25 June 2004 18:14 (twenty-one years ago)

the lyrics, the freedom and yep the yelling all sound good

donna (donna), Friday, 25 June 2004 22:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Vegetarianism : uncomfortably, no.

Paganism: no interest.

Bad lyrics: yes!

Sexual Freedom: no thanks. well, if by sexual freedom you mean "lots of sex with different people." if you mean "being free & informed to make decisions about your sex life" um yeah of course.

Simulated menstrual blood drinking: hmm, that's interesting, but no thanks.

Yelling cunt repeatedly at the top of your voice: YES! that's the only reason i did these answers. cunt is a GREAT word. i like to use it.

Maria (Maria), Friday, 25 June 2004 22:07 (twenty-one years ago)

You know this test is a little biased towards women. I think we need a male version, possibly with a drumming circle question.

the music mole (colin s barrow), Friday, 25 June 2004 22:11 (twenty-one years ago)

Vegetarianism I admire those who can do it full-time. I've tried it, but a wholly vegetarian diet just feels too limiting for me.

Paganism

Nah. There's no poetry to it.

Bad lyrics

GREAT when they're heavy-handed, earnest psych/punk/country (political messages and stuff about EXPANDING YOUR MIND are urgent and key, particularly when delivered in voices that are either mock-ghoulish or aggro-emo-dickhead).

Sexual Freedom

As long as it's between two consenting adults, I'm all for it.

Simulated menstrual blood drinking

Fine as long as I don't have to watch.

Yelling cunt repeatedly at the top of your voice

Fine (classic, in fact) as long as it's not during a production of The Vagina Monologues.

stockholm cindy (Jody Beth Rosen), Friday, 25 June 2004 23:00 (twenty-one years ago)

Vegetarianism - Not for me, but do what you gotta do. I don't eat red meat though.

Paganism - No. This is at least as annoying as most flavors of Christianity.

Bad lyrics - Yeah sure, but the music had better be rockin' enough to balance it out.

Sexual Freedom - Yeah, but I think this is a trick question because the phrase is ambiguous as hell and could mean "monogamy" or it could mean "freedom to fuck goats as well as chickens." I'm gonna say "yeah" though cause, well, do what you gotta do.

Simulated menstrual blood drinking - Eh, what's being modified by "simulated" there? Like, is the blood fake, or is it real menstrual blood and I'm just simulating actually drinking it? Or is it real blood simulating menstrual blood? I mean I really can't answer this one until I get some clarification.

Yelling cunt repeatedly at the top of your voice - Nah, but do what you gotta do. I personally think the c-bomb should never be yelled repeatedly. It loses too much of it's charm if it's not dropped singularly and unexpectedly, regardless of relative volume.

martin m. (mushrush), Friday, 25 June 2004 23:13 (twenty-one years ago)

That's right, the c-word is a smart bomb, most effectively dropped at by a posh woman, in passing. Eg, "I have had a cunt of a day. A martini, if you please".

the music mole (colin s barrow), Friday, 25 June 2004 23:17 (twenty-one years ago)

True... There's a world of difference b/t the American and UK versions of it as well. It's hella more likely to be charming on the side of the Atlantic that isn't touching North America.

martin m. (mushrush), Friday, 25 June 2004 23:18 (twenty-one years ago)

ok i admit i was drunk when i posted this thread and as a result i neglected to mention the caveat which determines your level of acceptability.

thing is - according to kate - any of these is fine in and of itself

however

combining ANY two or more of these tendencies will place you beyond redeemable acceptency.

(i will also note this is a thread about "This is rock bitch")

gaz (gaz), Saturday, 26 June 2004 06:56 (twenty-one years ago)

ie bad lyrics about sexual freedom immediately dismisses you from acceptability.

gaz (gaz), Saturday, 26 June 2004 06:57 (twenty-one years ago)

"Are You Acceptable" - Hendrix demo; record company sent him home to rewrite the song and make it more street.

Trayce (trayce), Saturday, 26 June 2004 07:01 (twenty-one years ago)

so this is supposed to be about bands, not people in general as was apparently thought?

AaronHz (AaronHz), Saturday, 26 June 2004 07:01 (twenty-one years ago)

haha Trayce!

Orbit (Orbit), Saturday, 26 June 2004 07:05 (twenty-one years ago)

no aaron its about lifestyle choices

gaz (gaz), Saturday, 26 June 2004 07:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Vegetarianism
Well, I'm a vegan, but I'm not a fanatic. I don't preach anyone for eating meat.

Paganism
I've never known an actual pagan, but the stereotypical image makes it sound kinda silly. It's either pathetic, angsty black-metal folks or crusty hippies dancing naked in the moonlight. Me, I'm quite far from both of those types. I'm also as firm an atheist as one can be.

Bad lyrics
I don't pay much attention to lyrics unless it's rap. In some genres bad lyrics are a prerequisite, I guess. It's a cliché to say that good music can make even the worst lyrics sound profound, but it's true also.

Sexual Freedom
This is up to everyone's own choice. I've tried it, and found out that isn't for me. I tend to have too big an emotional investment in sex, so I'll choose commitment over freedom.

Simulated menstrual blood drinking
??? Are these questions based on your personal experiences, Kate? Menstruation is not a taboo to me, I've had several enlightening conversations about the subject with my (female) friends. But this sounds like a bit too much.

Yelling cunt repeatedly at the top of your voice
No.

Tuomas (Tuomas), Saturday, 26 June 2004 11:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Gaz, this thread has got way out of hand!

No Tuomas, it's not based on my personal experiences. The questions in this "test" are based on a rather silly documentary that screened in Australia last night about a bevy of english pagan women who formed a band called rock bitch and live in a commune in spain or france or something.

E.S.P (ipsofacto), Saturday, 26 June 2004 12:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Vegetarianism

for me, no. for thee, if that's yer thing i suppose -- just don't make me give up my cheeseburger for yer tofu.

Paganism

see replacing one bunch of silly, irrational beliefs for another and thinking that it's an improvement. again, if it's yer thing.

Bad lyrics

who pays attention to lyrics?

Sexual Freedom

not w/ my wife/girlfriend/significant other. unless yer female, cute, and i can participate.

Simulated menstrual blood drinking

eh? does this involve cherry kool-aid or red bull?

Yelling cunt repeatedly at the top of your voice

the c-bomb must be used judiciously and as a last result only.
