things that a FSmonsterism member should try...

You a Replacements fan? I've got Let It Be going right now.

[Ubi Dubium]

Man, sometimes you guys make me feel old. I go for a capella. Try Da Vinci's Notebook (now sadly reduced to just Paul and Storm.) Great stuff, funny as heck, and delightfully irreverent about everything. But you metalheads will probably hate it - you can understand the words.

I looked at godhatesgoths.com.

Wow.

GOD ALSO DETESTS RETARDS. DOWN SYNDROME, CEREBAL PALSY, THALIDOMIDES, DWARFISM, SPINA BIFIDA, AND OTHER CREATURES SPASTIC RETARDATIONS ARE REPULSIVE TO GOD. THE BIBLE STATES QUITE CLEARLY THAT THESE TWISTED LIMBLESS MONSTERS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED ANYWHERE NEAR A CHURCH, AS THEY ARE UNCLEAN AND REPULSIVE TO GOD. THEY ARE AN ABOMINATION.

Huh. Good to know.

EDIT: The more I read, the more I wonder if this is actually a joke... I can't tell.

[Ubi Dubium]

I call Poe's Law!

Arghhh!

I got 4 Pixies albums permantly playing on the ipod at present. I want to turn them off but I can't. Too many good songs...
I saw Sonic Youth in 1993 at the Sydney Showground, they were awesome. Ahhh those were the days.

[Iggy the Beardless]

I'm going to try to make a fsm 'nativity' scene sometime during the holiday. It would be sweet if they started popping up all over the world.

You lucky, lucky, lucky bastard.

I give you a gift. I recommend you listen to both albums in full. They're both on there:

Took me awhile to make sure - the letter to the Goths which starts "Dear Loser" had me almost sure. The QA and letters forums told me pretty conclusively that this is a parody of "godhatesfags.com". Sadly, those sentiments - that the deformed, deranged, handicapped, etc are unclean and abominable to god are in the OT. I don't think the site is advocating that attitude, just pointing out that they exist in the "God is Love" book.
Frightening shocking, which makes it rather more disturbingly hilarious. Much like the bonsaicat website - the owner of which actually faced prosecution and had to pull the site. There are plenty of mirror sites, but they just don't have quite so many bizarre (photoshopped!) product pix.

[aidiore]

but the quotes of the bible...those are true...i mean...it really says that handicap people cant aproach to the curch...any of you understand this?...i mean...is there any christian out there that can explain me???...because im pretty scared

[DaveL]

Husker Du kicks ass. Haven't heard Sugar but I'll check them out.

Listening to Copper Blue as I type this, singing along, and tapping foot. Damn good album that I may or may not be seeding in FLAC as I type.

~E.

ZOMFFSM, I've forgotten how good the songs from Copper Blue were. This stuff is just so easy to enjoy. Thanks matey. It's on my arggg-pod right now!

Hi. We're The Replacements. Hi. We're The Replacements. Hi. We're The Replacements, and we're playing in a rock and roll band.

I don't listen to No Wave (although I might if I heard it), but I listen to The Braindead Monkeys (bdmonkeys.net) and Anal Cunt.
