Murphman

Not to derail the topic too much, but I have been geting a ton of requests for Rascal Flatts, so I decided to check them out. It's my opinion that there isn't a single vocalized note that hasn't been corrected. And the fact that it's so obvious makes me want to find the engineer and lock him outof the studio. If Duranx2 is using it, it's obviously more subtle, so keep going! That's what effects are supposed to be, right?

Another couple of things hit me while reading all of these: when people say "pitcher" when they mean "picture." Maybe it's a Chicago thing, but my family does it a lot and it drives me nuts! "Did you see that pitcher on the wall?" "Who was it? Randy Johnson?" Also, and I only found this while living in Indiana, when people can't hear what you just said and they respond with, "Do what?" no matter the setting. Me: What time is the show? Them: Do what? Me: Do tell me the time of the show, that's what! Nails on the chalkboard to me!

Originally posted by coyote-1 The phrase I hate: "Looks like ass". (pejorative) Also: "Tastes like ass" or whatever negative comparison you can imagine... Simply a moronic saying. To expound upon this: Back in college, friends of mine were walking and saw this huge crater in the ground. One friend says, "that's a big-ass hole," to which we all replied, "asshole!" After that, anytime someone used ass to describe something (hard ass test, big ass hotdog, wierd ass show, etc) we would respond in kind (ass test, ass hotdog, ass show). People I hang around weren't there for the original, and it's now become habitual, and they don't get the joke. I need a 12 step program....

This is probably because I happened to be hanging around some wannabe hip-hop artists last night: A'ight = alright, without the 'l' or 'r' You know what I'm sayin'? As in, "We'll hit the studio and bust the tracks out, you know what I'm sayin', then fly to the west side, you know what I'm saying, to tear it up at my cousin's crib, you know what I'm sayin'..." This particular morning the word happened to be "daddy." As in: "Daddy, daddy, daaaaaddy, daddy, dad, dad......... daaaaaaaddddyyy!!!!!" Again, ad nauseum. Come to think of it, anything said in close repetition 1,000 times or so can be pretty annoying!
